Thanks for pointing that out. I was not aware of that Dutch association. The name was not chosen with any Dutch reference in mind, but this is useful feedback if I seriously test the Netherlands as a market. For now I’m more focused on validating the use case and first provider segment, but I’ll keep the naming issue in mind for the Dutch market.

Thanks, this is helpful. I think I may have explained it too broadly. I don’t see Sabee mainly as a replacement for the normal free intake/discovery call. I agree that in many B2B situations, especially in the Dutch market, people expect the first conversation to be free. The use case I’m more interested in is paid access after some trust or demand already exists, or as a way for a provider to sell a clearly defined service. For example: - a tutor or teacher who receives quick questions and can answer through paid messages - a coach who offers 10-60 minute paid sessions to people who already follow or know them - a consultant who sells a defined 1-hour advisory session through the platform - a specialist who gets many “quick question” requests and wants a clean paid way to handle them - a provider who already gets clients from LinkedIn, WhatsApp, email, or their own network, but wants one cleaner place for payment, calls, messages, and scheduling So I agree that “general consultants/coaches” may be too broad as a first niche, especially if the positioning sounds like charging for the first discovery call. Your point about foreigners, relocation, company formation, tax/legal/compliance, and visa-related questions is interesting because there the question is often urgent and specific, and the person may already know they need paid expert help. Do you think this type of paid-access layer would make more sense for follow-up questions, defined sessions, or quick specialist access, rather than the first discovery call?

Hi all, I’m Emirhan, a solo founder from Istanbul. I built Sabee, a live web/iOS/Android app for service providers who want to sell paid access to their time. The idea is simple: a consultant, coach, tutor, freelancer, local expert, etc. creates one profile, connects Stripe, and people can pay to book a call, call instantly if they are online, or buy a paid message package. I’m now trying to figure out the best first niche in Europe. My guess is that it should start with people who already get questions or leads, not people who need demand created from zero. So I’m curious: - Which niche would you test first? - Do Dutch/European consultants or coaches already use tools for paid calls/messages? - Do you know any provider/community where this might actually be useful?
