Description:
(URL removed) - Guys hang out in their ManCave because it is a safe place, and their wife or girlfriend knows they are just hanging with the boys. We have captured that environment in a very unique and intuitive way.
Currently, we have:
3 Patents: Dual Login, Social Share Commerce, and ManCard
2 Trademarks: MCave and Mansino
We have purchased $20,000 worth of domain names, spent $5,000 on purchased hard code along the way, $8,000 on legal protections, and over $85,000 in development costs.
While some features have been adapted and some new features have been developed, we have held back from doing most of the high level design until we finish BETA Testing. The revenue streams are listed here:
1. E-Commerce Sales Revenue from the Warehouse
2. Affiliate marketing (we are approved with Best Buy)
3. Purchase of artificial chips in the Mansino(Trademark) for Poker, Blackjack, slot machines, etc.
4. Advertising
5. Potentially be able to charge for upgraded memberships as we may be able to offer premium features
6. Starting with the UFC Ticker, we will be able to charge users to organize a fantasy league amongst their core group of friends. We are already in talks with the representatives of 3 professional MMA and UFC Fighters.
Many websites have tried to capture the male market, but have missed. We have the product that will naturally gravitate men to our site due to the brand and activity. And while advertising is a revenue stream, we will be more focused on actual purchase of products and services that are very subtle and first nature to men.
So visit (URL removed), or go straight to (URL removed), and build your cave.
Game on--->
