Really?

Has anyone actually visited their website? It's just a aggrograter of existing online education services. Nothing actually coming out of BetterU that I can see worthy of $100 million. No services or actual products. For an online educational business they aren't even active on Twitter or any social media. www.betteru.in See for yourself. Really seems too good to be true. Hope I'm proved wrong.

Just to be objective about their twitter activity, they have an twitter handle betterUIndia that is used to promote the company to its 406 followers (at time of this posting). This is $100 Million for 406 twitter followers = $246,305 per twitter follower

I guess that's what they're doing: "betterU Education Corp is an asset-light education marketplace that aggregates courses from the best online educators (K-12, Skills Development, Higher-Education, Self-Interest) enabling access for million people in India."
Comment by SirHumpsAlot on Mar 02, 2018 10:46am
So they are asset light (They own SFA). They are aggregating courses from online educators? So they are nto developing anything new they are just using other players work. They are simply resellers.... how is this a long term viable business model? If all they do is use someone elses work and send it to india what happens when Indian buyers realize that they can skip the middle man OR that they ...more

Well, that last post was supposed to show a picture... Alibaba, the most valuable retailer, has no inventory Uber, worlds largest taxi company, owns no fleet AirBnB, Largest accomodation provider, owns no real estate And so on... Why don't go and copy those things, and do it cheaper?!
Comment by SirHumpsAlot on Mar 03, 2018 9:22am
They are all copied. Alibaba is no different than JD and Amazon Uber, lyft and other start up apps AirBnB, homeaway, tripper, flipkey If you think that BTRU can not be copied you are foolish. If they own nothing and are just a portal they will be copied. As far as I know they are the first to be launchign such an agressive campaign in India. They should do well. But for how long? I can not ...more  
Comment by stockhoseraye on Mar 03, 2018 9:58am
I think that all of you are forgetting the fact that Alibaba ,Amazon,Uber, lyft ,AirBnB, homeaway, tripper, flipkey have revenue. Those are all success stories. The last quarterly results are out and BetterU has no sales. They just started advertising and no one knows yet if that will or will not succeed. It may. It may not.  This is not only an unproven company, their marketing ...more  
Comment by SirHumpsAlot on Mar 03, 2018 10:59am
I agree with you 100% but my post simply addressed the idea that no one copied Uber, alibaba etc. That idea was simply false. Your comment plays directly to what I was saying, this company is laying the ground work for copy cats. Once they prove that it can be done, others will do. What is obviouse to me is that Idia has had hier own edi=ucation materials for as long as anyone else has. Why do ...more

It's obvious Humps is short on the stock - why else would he post 20 times in a few days.  Better cover your short position on BetterU soon  -- or you'll be feeling...worse   !!   Lol. I've been adding earlier in the week - was able to grab a bunch more in the mid 70's.
Comment by 87Mustang on Mar 09, 2018 7:28am
i scooped up a bunch more in the 70's as well
Comment by SirHumpsAlot on Mar 09, 2018 8:21am
The only short term potential here is if they close that financing. Lomg term... not much potential. many of you claim that this is a great company but all have failed to provide and argument to support the claim.
Comment by red2006 on Mar 11, 2018 11:31pm
Hmmmmmm......    I guess the HK group who are investing $100 M US and valuing the conpany at $240 M US must also believe that the Online Edtech industry in Asia doesn’t have much upside :either : / Sir you may humpalot but it doesn’t appear you thinkalot .
Comment by Urbani on Mar 12, 2018 2:13pm
Ha, than SIrhump is a happy individual at least... but seriously if you do not understand the space and have not done enough dd than I can see why sirhump thinks that way... if I just dropped by, I might to, but I wouldn't hang around either...
Comment by SirHumpsAlot on Mar 14, 2018 12:11pm
I understand this stock just fine, hence the reservations. Those, like you, who do not acknowledge risk or potential downside are ill informed. The company is late to as 20 billion dollar industry trying to break in on the next 20 billion but simply marketing thge products thast are already available. The company is offering nothing new or unique. That said, I am gambling that they get the ...more

That's fine.  You can stay on the sidelines on this one. I've got some bids in.    Will accumulate a bit more.
Comment by Urbani on Mar 01, 2018 6:51am
https://www.betteru.ca/ AGORACOM seems to really like BetterU. BTRU is even on their commercial advertising on BNN... As far as Twitter comments, I am not on twitter and why would I want to be? Is that what BTRU should do? Doubt it... Do a little more intelligent dd and you will understand a little better...
Comment by SirHumpsAlot on Mar 02, 2018 10:43am
Agoracom is a PR site. They only allow pumpers and BTRU is paying them to be promoted. So if that is your source for DD you are a fool. Commercials on BNN??? laughable. Great that they are promoting the stock but it is not DD. 
Comment by Urbani on Mar 03, 2018 12:11am
Sirhump... Your take twists and turns are laughable sir... No... Yes.. do more dd for yourself or are you one of the small few shorts... You more than likely bought back already... 
Comment by SirHumpsAlot on Mar 03, 2018 9:15am
I am not short, I am not long. I am out. With this company I see nothing than can not be replicated by a third party. It is an easily duplicated business model once the ground work has been laid. But by all means, explain what this company has that is so unique with proprietary rights that no one else can undermine the business model. I look forward to your educated reply as opposed to your off ...more
