Minnect built a paid Q&A app around one media brand. Vetted built a paid inbox filter that works over email — no app, no platform lock-in.
What Minnect does
Minnect is a paid Q&A app founded by Patrick Bet-David (Valuetainment). Users pay to ask experts text questions, request video responses, or book per-minute video calls. The platform is app-only (iOS/Android) and its expert roster skews heavily toward the PBD media ecosystem — names like Terrence Howard, Ray Lewis, and Paul Saladino. Experts set their own rates, with top-tier answers running $100+ per text response.
How Vetted is different
Vetted takes a fundamentally different approach. There's no app to download — not for you, not for the person messaging you. You share a link, they pay your fee, and the message lands in your email. You reply from Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail — wherever you already are. No new platform to learn, no dashboard to check, no content to produce. Minnect asks experts to be active on their platform. Vetted lets you stay in your inbox.
