2. The Trend
• Cloud transformation presents an excellent
opportunity to create better apps for virtually all
markets:
• Enterprise software is complex, lacks
capabilities, very costly and needs to go (just
as Salesforce.com replaced Siebel 10 years
ago, Salesforce.com is now the dinosaur)
• SMB needs are significantly underserved
3. The Trend
• As business processes are increasingly treated as
a competitive advantage:
• Operations inside large companies become
merged with internal IT
• Need tools for fast implementation, change
management and deployment
5. Meteor Framework
• Super-fast development, painless deployment and
change management
• Modern technologies (node, javascript, reactive
programming…)
• Emerging alternative to Ruby on Rails as startup platform
of choice; aspiration to eventually compete with J2EE
enterprise servers and other middleware - but in a
“tornado” game-shifting way
• Backed by notable VCs investment
6. Opportunity
• Every “techtonic” shift creates opportunity for next
generation ecosystem products:
• and partners
• and
• .
• Technologies used in Meteor present application
management possibilities previously unheard of
7. The Market
• Infrastructure & Middleware ~ $20B (32% IBM
share)
• Solarwinds ~ 335M in 2013, growing 50%+
• Several million startups are created every year in
the US, 50,000+ get funded
8. Observatory
• Application management and monitoring for Meteor
apps, extendable to virtually any technology
• Prototype used in semi-production apps today
• 100+ enterprise developers signed up and waiting for
public beta announcement
• Excitement in the Meteor community
• Start small, solving specific problem at the very early
stage, build up from there
10. Product
• Done
• Performance monitoring, profiling, versatile logging
• Alpha cloud (SaaS) version
• Plan
• Complete visibility into application internals thanks to JS and node
power
• Error detection, live remote debugging, including for specific
application clients - next generation customer support
• Modular architecture for non-meteor technologies support

14. Investment needs
• Launch cloud-based service to start wide beta program
around Meteor 1.0 release timeframe (Fall of 2014)
• Fine-tune version 1 for public launch based on real world
scenarios (currently, 100+ enterprise developers signed
up and waiting for beta announcement)
• 24 months of development & support before operational
profitability
• No marketing expenses (word of mouth works fine at this
stage)
