Strong points: 1) Infinitely scalable (like Skype and Kazaa) 2) Driven by a basic human need (do it together) 3) Leverage the social networks trend: MySpaces, Facebook, LinkedIn Markets and business model: We sell a Client-Community building platform to organizations. Our unique product allows people to virtually meet and actually talk in groups (= VOIP conference call). We can cause a disruption in the market for community building and establish a considerable % of that $ 3.1 Billion market. We are also in the targeted advertising market. Especially for video adds. We will integrate the social networks with our highly innovative application and offer unique possibilities for video adds. This way, we will be able to become a large player in this a $27 billion market. We can compete, because we are well focused and infinitely scalable. We can and will use our product as a branding tool for large corporations and capture a niche position in that market as well.
