Description: Introduction see presentation at (URL removed) It is almost exactly six years since Apple launched the first iPhone as the digital era took off. With astonishing speed, global take-up of new technology has triggered a dramatic change in daily media and entertainment consumption. Technology has greatly impacting the cost of HD video production & delivery so dramatically that HD video can now be captured on a smartphone and streamed live to a global audience who can watch on devices as diverse as TV’s and smartphones. Disruptive change and public take up inspires our model This is a disruptive change and it has already impacted at every level of the entertainment and media sector. Consumers are onboard digital in big numbers and the advertising and subscription dollars will follow. Live Global Stream has successfully identified, developed and trialed its new “narrow niche model” for monetizing online video. This solution will be launched as online video consumption moves on to TV’s, Smartphones, and a multitude of portable devices. Development, launch and rollout The experience gained from extensive research and development over the last 3 years has guided the development of the model. The company now has; a detailed launch plan, narrow niche brands, online fan base of over 28,000 fans for the initial brand, capital funding strategy that matches needs and funding to optimize returns to all stakeholders. The heart of the plan is a three stage US$7Million development funding program consisting of two US$1Million dollar rounds and a final US$5Million round that is tied to a three stage, five year launch strategy. Management Stage 1 Development Funding and Exit The model and company were founded and headed by a direct investor with a successful background of over 30 years in Niche market business, focused on “entertainment, media and sports”. The company is now completing the first stage of development funding, raising US$1 Million via offering 10,000 PARTICIPATING, CUMULATIVE, CONVERTIBLE Preference shares to accredited investors who meet the Accreditation Requirements, as set forth under the Securities Act of 1933 Sub-Section 4(2), Regulation D, 506 (C) and is offering a 9.25% CUMULATIVE dividend, 15% participation and a five year Exit and common stock conversion option. Summary There is no question that the entertainment & media sector and the consumer are all moving online, and online video is the big game changer as it explodes on TV’s, Smartphones and a multitude of portable devices. Latest research confirms advertising and consumer spending is following the eyeballs. The Narrow Niche Model is new and not on the radar of the majors, finding themselves stuck with the highly volatile and competitive mainstream market. Live Global Streams is positioned with perfect timing to meet new consumer demand for live video options that are more personal, and “Narrow Niche”.
