Threw me a bit because I expected something Spotify-adjacent.
Start by clarifying Patreon's core value proposition and target users, then identify a specific problem area (e.g., creator discovery, monetization, or fan engagement) to focus your improvements. Structure your answer by prioritizing opportunities based on impact and feasibility, and tie your recommendations back to Patreon's business model and competitive landscape.
Pro tip: Show that you understand Patreon's two-sided marketplace dynamics—improvements must benefit both creators and fans to drive sustainable growth. Also, consider how Patreon could leverage Spotify's strengths (e.g., audio, personalization) if the companies were to partner, but avoid assuming a merger.
Define Patreon's mission and segment its users (creators by type/size, fans by engagement level) to identify high-value opportunities. Ask clarifying questions if needed to narrow the scope.
Map the creator and fan journey to uncover key pain points, such as creator discovery, fan retention, or monetization friction. Prioritize one or two pain points based on impact and alignment with Patreon's goals.
Generate potential improvements for the chosen pain points, considering product features, pricing models, and community-building tools. Ensure solutions are feasible and differentiate Patreon from competitors.
Evaluate ideas using a framework like RICE (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort) or impact/effort matrix. Select the most promising idea and outline how you would validate it (e.g., A/B test, user interviews).
Specify metrics to measure success, such as creator earnings, fan conversion rate, or retention. Tie these back to Patreon's business objectives (e.g., revenue growth, creator acquisition).
