Hi PH! I'm Cephas, the founder of Newcon. For the past year my team and I have worked on making expert knowledge accessible for anyone, anywhere, on-demand. We’re thrilled to finally share this with you! **Why did I start Newcon?** To be perfectly honest, I just wanted to solve my own problem 🙃 When I was a student 👨‍🎓 , I enjoyed going to conferences, because I wanted to learn from the best. I believe one of the best ways to learn is listening & engaging with amazing keynote speakers 🦸‍♀️ 🦸 at events. Due to limited financial resources, I didn’t have the chance to participate in events, such as Bits and Pretzels, Web Summit, Next Web Conference, or other larger conferences. I realized that I wasn’t alone in facing this problem. Millions of other people around the world also don’t have access to the best experts out there! Although we have Youtube 📹 , many conferences & event organizers aren’t uploading their content and are deciding to not make their content accessible post-event 😔 . I want to change this 💪! Hence, the reason why I started Newcon: Shifted from solving my own problem to the mission of making expert knowledge accessible to anyone, anywhere on-demand. **How are we going to do this? By addressing three key dimension: 1. Democratize location → Where you live shouldn't not matter, you can learn from anywhere. Not all of us can live in San Francisco ;) 2. Elastically scaling access to the best thought leaders - infinity class size to the best of the best thought leaders → 3. Time shifting → What if you can’t make it to make it Tuesday 7:00pm to this event? Barry McCarthy, former CFO of Netflix and Spotify, now CEO of Peloton, and an absolute legend, recently said: "Everything linear dies, everything on-demand wins," which summarizes the future of media and point above quite well. And I believe it’s so true! Newcon is the future of getting infinite access to the best expert knowledge, for an infinite number of people. **A special gift for the PH community 🎁 ** Exclusively for our launch here on Product Hunt, we have created a curated shortlist of the best keynotes presentation from the best experts (Chris Dixon, Brian Armstrong, Li Jin, Pplpleasr etc.) around the topics. Web 3.0, NFT & Crypto. As always, ENJOY! **Let us know what you think!** We would love to hear from you and get your thoughts on how to take our product to the next level. So please, feel free to leave a comment or review below, reach out to us on our social media channels, we are always ready for a talk 💬 At last, I would like to say a very big thank you to our hunter KP and the On Deck team, who have been an amazing help for us to be able to launch the Newcon platform today 🙏

Super stoked to be bringing Newcon to the PH community. Newcon provides on-demand access to the best professional keynote presentations, conferences and speakers in the world to help you become a 10x better founder/operator/investor or PM - for free. I learned about them through On Deck (they are part of ODX1) and loved getting to know the team! Join me in asking any open Qs for the team. Here's mine: Q: What was the initial 'aha' moment that led you to this idea/path? cc: @cephas_ndubueze1

So amazing product! Sincere congrats on the launch! I've got a few questions: - Are you going to make a subscription? Or how d'you plan to monetize the product? - How are the new events being added? By your team or by the speakers etc? - Any rights violation? I'm going to use it for sure!

@yaroslava thank you for asking this great question: 1) For now we only monetize the supply side, such as providing user insights, tools to better repurpose the content, etc. Furthermore, similar to Substack, content creators are able to put their content behind a paywall, we then take a 20% of revenue share. 2) The event organizers are providing us in most cases the content directly which is then most often exclusive content. We also added some public content as well, as a Growth Hack and then we asked normally the creator if their fine with this and it is always a yes. 3) No, because the event organizers own the content and have agreements in place with speakers and attendees to reuse the content in any form. Why do you think that we might do subscriptions?

@cephas_ndubueze1 Thank you for your answers! They helped. As for subscription model. it's obvious in your case. I'll be glad to buy a subscription to the whole service instead of subscribing to certain creators. Yeah, Subsctack, Parteon models can work in your case too. There just might be situations when someone is organising one great event per year (e.g.). I do want to watch it but am I going to be a subscriber for a long time? You need to consider carefully business model. May be even test two different options & see which one works better. Good luck to you! Once again, the product is great.

Excited to be supporting Newcon - if you could choose one event to have on the platform this week what would you pick?

@ericfriedman - great question! I would choose SXSW because it's combines everything, media, art, tech etc. - it is bringing people from different cultural & educational background together at one place. And we hope to achieve the same and this digitally & asynchronous.

Definitely upvoting this! Nice thought behind this product. This could make a much more proficient level of knowledge accessible and easier to find. What are some of the most popular categories for today?

@notchso I completely agree! We label every keynote presentation and index every word therefore, we make it so much easier to discover the right content for you. Most popular topics are fundraising topics, founder pitches and everything related to Web3 & NFT.
