Finding case partners

Hi guys 

I was gonna build a free version of the case partnering thing on PrepLounge. Theirs is nice but it costs $$ after a few cases. 

Is this something people would be interested in/use? Or is it just easier to find a case partner in person and/or making a post somewhere/reddit? 

Curious...

I'd use a case partnering tool

Based on the most helpful WSO content, creating a free version of a case partnering platform like PrepLounge could definitely attract interest, especially for those who want to avoid the cost barrier. PrepLounge is popular, but as you mentioned, it becomes paid after a few cases, which can deter some users.

However, there are already free alternatives and methods people use to find case partners, such as:

  1. Posting on forums like WSO: Many users actively seek case partners here, as seen in threads like "I'll help you case for free!" or "Anyone in the Dallas area want to team up?".
  2. Reddit communities: Subreddits like r/consulting or r/MBA often have users looking for case partners.
  3. Networking through LinkedIn or school groups: Many candidates prefer leveraging their existing networks to find partners.

If you decide to build this platform, consider adding unique features like: - A matching algorithm based on skill level or time zones. - Free resources or guides to help beginners. - A community aspect to foster engagement.

This could make your platform stand out and provide value beyond what's already available.
