How did this business idea emerge?
We (founders) were sitting back at home and searching for best android phones to buy and landed on e-commerce and few review sites but they could not help to understand which one is the best among all available options. Therefore we thought there should be a site which should only show public generated results of Top 10 items in all categories so that we don’t get lost in 5000+ results coming out of Google search.
Where did your capital come from and who funded you?
Currently we are self-funded and looking for angel investors who can support us building a long-term sustainable product to serve the people searching for Top 10 things online.
What are current and future revenue models?
Few current advertising sources:

We are not looking confine ourselves making money only by traditional banner advertisements in long run. We are working on mass monetization program by which we will act as a commission agent and pass on some part of advertisement revenue to the list owners as well.
What are the future plans for Listopten.com?
We are currently focusing on building product and providing traffic to our e-commerce clients like carnation.in, snapdeal.com, infibeam.com etc. and providing an engaging platform to the users.
