Startup Model — Fast & Secure Sharing of Documents

The Model: A platform which enables users to share documents and media with real time control on their status and security. Users can share documents, put filters on what the recipient can do with them, unshare anytime and can use a load of other features. Some security features include protecting documents using geo-location, time sharing and restricting the recipient for re-sharing or printing.

Startup Doing It: Quiver (Dutch startup)

What I Like:

Core Idea — Document sharing with protection has a great user appeal to it. The facility to unshare as well as the security features which can be imposed on any document are great. These features make this product a richer one as compared to other document storage apps which are now quite common.

Great Hack Used — Quiver offers a 6 month free subscription to users who login with a dropbox account. This way they get new users who are using a similar tool and who end up trying this product.

Great Pricing — The pricing plans seem very genuine for the user. Freemium is the model used and the free plan provided is good enough for a user to try out the product comprehensively.
