Validating my (startup) idea

Hi! So I completed my MPhil an year ago from Oxford and had an absolutely frustrating time getting it published. So, I have come up with an idea for LinkedIn + ResearchGate like platform for open peer review and self publishing. Basically, create an account. One end being - If you want to publish your paper, you can sign it up for an account. On the other end, if you have the right background (education), join in on an open peer review and editor program and get paid for reviewing and editing. Once due process is done, the article is available for a subscription fee to be accessed. The copyright is fully the author's domain. The platform's main aim is to draw in from the Global North's pool of PhD holders who are no longer in academia but can be accessed by researchers in Global South where academic publishing and its infrastructure is remarkably smaller and many a times, inefficient and corrupt.

Of course, I am going to refine the idea further and I welcome any suggestions but what does everyone think. Suggest me any changes or additions. I am thinking of applying with this idea to some VCs.
