We have raised 75% of our total budget equaling $26,250,000, We are seeking a remaining 25% of the total budget equaling $8,750,000 million dollars to build the Site/App, develop, launch and establish our brand. The Artist Source Inc. located in Jacksonville FL., but is a Global platform. (URL removed) is a social and professional networking, resource and education site for artists, and the arts and those interested in the arts and creativity. It is designed to be the most comprehensive site pertaining to the arts in the world, easy to navigate and devoted to artists, the arts and those things creative through a Global Platform. It lists every University/College and High School in the world, involved in the arts is some manner. It lists every museum and art gallery relating to arts and creativity "Globally". The site redefines art to include but not limited to; fine art, ceramics/sculpting, illustration, digital art, mixed media, performance art, fashion, textiles, video art, anime/animation, crafts, publishing, photography, music, dance, culinary, acting, literature, poetry, architecture, automotive design and restoration, CAD, graphic design, design, etc. The site includes blogs, relevant articles and chat rooms. Member Profiles include unlimited pictures, video and audio uploads. (URL removed) is Ad revenue driven (but has 3 revenue streams) and is entirely free to members and uniques/visitors. One of the most important features is that Artists do not pay a commission if their work is sold. The viability of this project is borne out by its primary competitor, Deviant Art, which has over 40 million members. Deviant Art is not user friendly, difficult to navigate, focuses on professional artists and lacks the comprehensive nature (access to a vast increase in members/uniques, which equates to ideas and resources) accessible within our expanded definition of "art". (URL removed) is designed to evolve over time based on the input and suggestions by members and uniques. The Artist Source Inc., has available a Term Sheet from the primary lender (75%), Pitch Deck, an Executive Summary, Business Plan, Inflection Point of Revenue, and PPM available upon request, along with a Pro Forma. It should be noted that while terms on the 25% investment, needs to be negotiated. It should be noted that the 25% shall be placed in an escrow account. We look forward to your interest in moving this project forward, I am available at your convenience. (URL removed) Everything Creative From People To Purpose Sincerely, Kenneth J.
