Description:
Flink's mission is to have a substantial influence on the way the music industry operates in the new online/social media driven world- generating new sources of revenue for talent, promoters, and the music industry. The music industry is ideally suited to the Company's business because it has a serious business problem and is in desperate need of solutions. The music industry has seen declining revenues from traditional sources and has been very receptive to considering new ways to monetize the brand value of musicians whose brand is now becoming worth more than their music.
Over the last two years, Flink has developed and owns all IP rights to the Flink social media platform which includes web, sever and app technology. Our promise is a deep rich fan experience with absolutely NO advertising because our focus is on a five-star fan experience free of junk. Fans can see, hear, and follow their favorite musicians in a clean, pure and compelling real-time interactive content stream. For passionate music fans, it’s the ultimate fan experience. Fan’s pay $1.00 a month to access exclusive content. Flink shares this revenue with musicians. Although the Flink experience was a complex build, the user interface and Flink tools are simple to use to create a beautifully curated experience. Flink’s systems for micro-transaction payment are configured for global payment acceptance and the product is built and ready to use. The platform is designed to be highly scalable for millions of users.
We are currently in discussions with well-recognized music industry producers, agents and musicians in preparation for launch shortly.
The Flink monetization model is unique and there are several other truly exciting aspects to our business model that we would love to present to seriously interested investors. We are seeking $10 million in capital to execute our business strategy in 2013. We believe the company could easily be worth in the range of $300 million plus in a short term.
Our management team is led by Anne Cowley (CEO and co-founder) and Darren Inksetter (CTO and co-founder). We have an in-house team of highly experienced tech experts and designers and as well we have the support of very knowledgeable investors and advisers. Flink has offices in Tampa, and Toronto.
