1.0 Executive Summary

   MindBanking is a global business networking portal, offering services which empower
   users to fully develop manage and build their projects. MindBanking is a one-stop-shop
   which has a certain potential to become fully equipped and serviced global office.
   MindBanking.com is a console for developing business.

   The objective is to create vibrant an interactive online business portal, where biggest
   and smallest entrepreneurs could meet, providing a generator or incubator of ideas, for
   new business opportunities that are about to lead to new businesses, products and
   services.

   Mindbanking project belongs to the online business social networking online services.
   Revenue models for this kind of services include subscription fees, advertising, service
   sales (pay per piece and subscription), and respectively brokerage.

   Our position in the business social networking market would be significant since we
   would be offering a unique online working and developing platform and hope to create
   unique, vibrant and powerful community.

   The main objective of MindBanking.com is to become an entrepreneurs' main working
   platform; to become their office, business space and their home page; the first thing to
   visit when they go online, as well as the last before going offline; spending an average
   4 hours per day using MindBanking portal/application/platform.

   The goal is also to create such a powerful and vibrant community, which would
   respectively compel investors to become active in searching and "pulling" projects.
   Furthermore socio-economic trends like hard labor as well as repetitive labor being
   replaced with machines, technology and robotics, is shaping our social landscape; as well as
   trends in economy such as domination of services economy and inauguration of post-
   industry which puts the intellectual production, “virtual” goods and services at the pivotal place
   in the economy. For example estimated worth of Facebook at the beginning of 2011 have
   been around 50 billion USD; however the value is not estimated as the value of brick and
   mortar properties, but the equity is measured by the value of its community, quality of its
   intellectual goods and services, (and a basic social networking service is free!), and its impact
   and influence on the social reality.

   All mentioned are the arguments that the project has anticipated the future market, new
   economies and new business infrastructure.




                                                                                               Page 1

1.1 Objectives

      The objective of this project is to perceive the new media and communication world as a
      (new) business developing platform. Social networks proved to be a new media mantra;
      however its business developing potential has yet not been proven. MindBanking project is
      as much community and development as it is profit driven. The objective is to create
      vibrant an interactive online business portal, where biggest and smallest entrepreneurs
      could meet, providing a generator or incubator of ideas, for new business opportunities
      that are about to lead to new businesses, products and services. The project has a
      strong market (or attention) value since its target groups belong to both consumers and
      businesses. MindBanking caters to all business interactions; B2B, B2C, C2B, C2C and all
      other future ones.




                                                                                         Page 2

1.2 Mission

      MindBanking generates business ideas that could bring together entrepreneurs and
      potential entrepreneurs. This online service would help generate profit by creating a
      community that would among other things develop projects using unique working/
      development platform, furthermore by constantly upgrading services and by building a
      community. Interaction (a network) of market sectors could create exciting business
      scene.

      The system used in building infrastructure of the project is drawn from network
      theory, system theory and the Attention Economy. The program strives to comprise
      complex and dynamic infrastructure to be able to ensure sustainability as well as
      constant progress and development thus constant growth of revenue. The system
      and infrastructure of the project will also be continually scrutinized and upgraded.




                                                                                       Page 3

1.3 Keys to Success

      Although global economy is a reality, only several business enclaves like New
      York, Dubai, Silicon Valley, Hong Kong or similar could claim its business
      supremacy since they represent centers or/and conglomerates of business
      activity. We could say that being in one place gives them the strength or better said
      energy to progress and develop and to become economic forerunner.

      MindBanking prospers on that same premise. To put in the same space independent
      innovators, SME, global corporations, investors, thriving individuals with new ideas,
      entrepreneurs, and such, and to deploy its multi-interaction could truly produce
      new marketplace as well as new economies or new business idioms.

      The project presupposes a vision of a new business scene and its infrastructure
      through the idea – everyone is an entrepreneur. Numerous trends show that
      developing own business is the future of economic scene, thus the project meets
      that basic need.

      Almost every innovator claims the same – we do not know how to do the business!;
      MindBanking is empowered to deal with the mentioned problem through offering
      online business plan platform, production, workflow and project management tools,
      interaction tools and playful and user-friendly business environment.

      Furthermore, the main objective of MindBanking is to become an entrepreneurs' main
      working platform; to become their office, business space and their home page; the
      first thing to visit when they go online, as well as the last before going offline;
      spending an average 4 hours per day using MindBanking portal/application/platform
      as their ultimate business console.

      The goal is also to create such a powerful and vibrant community, which would
      respectively compel investors to become active in searching and "pulling" projects.

      MindBanking thrives on the premise that everyone is a potential entrepreneur; if we
      furthermore take into consideration digitally converged media environment that
      empowers every user to create its own business opportunity, along with the idea that
      the online infrastructure will prevail in the future of business operations, we could
      claim we hit the target. So the strategy proposes for the MindBanking to become the
      platform for creating endless number of (original) business communities and a
      vigorous and self-producing new business scene.

      Mindbanking is a vision of new economy which presupposes development of the new
      market technology, which perpetuates network distribution, niche markets, dynamic-
      modular production units, which would respectively replace mass production and
      liberalize working processes.

                                                                                       Page 4

   The project anticipates or even brings about new paradigm shift at a production process at
   large. Some of the trends are already taking place as a part of production process; such
   as, fluid working hours and Sunday as a working day shows that our working week has
   been submitted to significant changes. It is what theoretician Leadbeater in his Knowledge
   Economy calls “graying the calendar” (Leadbeater, 2000).

   Furthermore, there is also a trend of working from locations other than office, in small
   groups, using communication tools such as Skype, MSN, or mobile phone applications;
   thus the conditions for the development of like economy has already been sketched.

Even some new trends in hardware technology are proving the way we
communicate, work and spend our daily lives is changing. For example
tablet phenomenon (e.g. Apple iPad, BlackBerry PlayBook, HTC Flyer,
Samsung Galaxy Tab etc.); book reading devices/tablets (e.g. Kindle).
Mentioned trends show that everything becomes “on the go”, even
production.


Furthermore socio-economic trends like hard labor as well as repetitive
labor being replaced with machines, technology and robotics, is shaping our
social landscape; as well as trends in economy such as domination of services
economy and inauguration of post-industry which puts the intellectual
production, “virtual” goods and services at the pivotal place in the economy.
For example estimated worth of Facebook at the beginning of 2011 have been
around 50 billion USD; however the value is not estimated as the value of
brick and mortar properties, but the equity is measured by the value of its
community, quality of its intellectual goods and services, (and a basic
social networking service is free!), and its impact and influence on the social
reality.

All mentioned are the arguments that the project has anticipated the
future market, new economies and new business infrastructure.

TREND 2: INCREASE IN REVENUE OF SOCIAL NETWORKING PORTALS

Social networks made $400 mln in revenues in 2006

IDC estimates that social networks only made about $400 mln in revenues in 2006, but
could make as much as $1 bln in 2007. IDC expects that most social network services will
employ a mix of business models, including advertising, subscriptions, and
ecommerce. Of these three models, only advertising scales well enough to make social
networks interesting for portals and major media companies.

Social Networking Dominates Our Time Spent Online
Social networking now eats up twice as much of our online time as any other activity.
According to new stats from Nielsen, sites like Facebook and Twitter now account for
22.7% of time spent on the web; the next closest activity is online games, which make
up 10.2%.

The stats also show the degree to which social networking is displacing other forms of
                                                                                                       Page 14

communication, with e-mail as a percentage of online time plunging from 11.5% to
8.3% from June 2009 to June 2010. Instant messaging also saw a significant drop in
share, with a 15% decline from last year.

However, e-mail use on mobile is still on the rise – from 37.4% to 41.6% — presumably
as users continue to migrate to smartphones from feature phones.

   User Scenario

   User 1 – innovator

   Fruitful idea maker sits in front of the Facebook sending his friends chocolate, gummy
   bears and smiles; throwing sheep and philosophers at his colleagues; waiting for
   something exciting to appear on a horizon. He (let us say is a he) is inhibited to think
   about piles of ideas stocked in his drawer, because every time he does, a rush of
   frustration and disappointment overwhelms him. Suddenly information appears like an
   epiphany, a thunderstruck. MindBanking.com – submit ideas, find collaborators,
   develop projects, and find investors.

        Just what I needed! I am going there right away!

   ideas seem to be even better than I thought, mumbles he, let us now find some
   people who could be interested to work with me on my projects . Swiftly he became a

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

   The project focuses on this target groups because they are main production force,
   three pillars of any market; people with ideas, developers and investors (money force).
   Communicating to them, bringing them together and engaging them in a production (even
   of their own projects) could produce uncanny business scene, which of course
   presupposes raising attention to high level consequently generating revenue through
   conveyed business models.


4.3 Service Business Analysis

   MindBanking project belongs to the online business networking online services.
   Revenue models for this kind of services include subscriptionfees, pay per piece
   (regarding mainly mobile applications), advertising, service sales (pay per piece and
   subscription), and respectively brokerage.

   Xing.com – mainly subscription fees (premium membership)

   LinkedIn.com – mainly advertising (plus premium membership)

   Facebook.com – mainly advertising



                                                                                    Page 18

4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns

   Broad market

   Xing.com




   Advantages for Mindbanking


   Xing.com merely offers database of professionals, no other services; it takes a lot of
   effort to utilize the service they offer.

   Three moths premium membership plus a moth gratis costs 18 Euros, too expensive,
   especially for young people struggling in a entrepreneurs world.

   Threats

   for Mindbanking
   Xing.com already has 7 million users (2009).

   LinkedIn.com




   Advantages for MindBanking

   Our research shows social networking platforms that do not offer added value but
   merely profile upload and possibility to connect with friends and colleagues do not
   have much action going on and as a result the portal quickly loses its attention, its
   Premium Membership still does not offer much in utilizing business opportunities
   especially for entrepreneurs beginners, which again does not solve problem(s) for the
   user. Such is the case with LinkedIn. Our added value: MindBanking is a one-stop-
   shop which has a certain potential to become fully equipped and serviced global office.
   MindBanking is a console for developing business.

Narrow market

Projects sharing the market with MindBanking; a niche market is yet to be created, and
KickStarter did a lot in creating the same market. Mindbanking has an advantage in the
context that Kickstarter does not allow investments, selling a share of the project etc.; it
is a crowdfunding and merchandising service, and it doesn't have project development
and management platform.




1. Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/)




2. Amazee (http://www.amazee.com/)




                                                                                       Page 20
MindBanking




   3. OpenInvo (http://www.openinvo.com/)


   All of the mentioned businesses do not have significant market share (apart from
   KickStarter). However, their relatively recent appearance show the market calls for a
   communities/applications that offer a tool that can enable collaboration on a projects, also
   stock markets for ideas, or to create the places where capital and ideas/innovations
   could meet. Furthermore, instead of posing as a threat for MindBanking, it represents
   an opportunity since the mentioned projects would create the niche market.

MindBanking

5.2 Competitive Edge

   Main social/business network web sites are LinkedIn, Xing, and of course Facebook,
   absolute winner in number of registered users, impact and revenue.

   Xing.com as a business (social) network was founded in 2003 had 5 million users in
   2008, and an estimated revenue of €10.1 million in 2006; source Wikipedia.com, http://
   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XING, April 2008. In 2009 number of users for Xing.com grew to
   7.000.000, representing 40% growth.

   LinkedIn.com, had an estimated 20 million users in 2008 and 43 million in 2009.

   Facebook.com was founded in February 2004, had an estimated 69 million users in
   January 2008 (source, Facebook, January 2008), and revenue of 150 million USD;
   (source, Forbes, March 6, 2008.) In 2009, number of users grew to 250.000.000,
   representing 262% growth. Potential for revenue growth from that position is huge.

   Facebook ended 2008 making between $280 million and $300 million, according to
   many reports. The company’s revenues likely reached between $600 million and $700
   million for 2009. sources estimate the company could make between $1 billion and $1.1
   billion in total revenue this year. (source: Inside Facebook; www.insidefacebook.
   com/2010/03/02/facebook-made-up-to-700-million-in-2009-on-track-towards-1-1-billion-
   in-2010/, 2010)

   Our position in the business social networking market would be significant since we
   would be offering a unique online working and developing platform. In a nutshell, our
   competitive advantage is to be the first in a global market offering services to help
   develop and deploy projects online. Furthermore, if we compare ourselves with other
   social networking portals, even the business ones, like LinkedIn.com and Xing.com, we
   believe that our portal will have much higher business utilization than any of them.

   Furthermore, our competitive edge and our biggest strength is in the vision of the project.
   The vision where almost every business could be conducted, every product produced, as
   the almighty business, development and production console, which would be more and
   more possible by the further development and implementation of the Cloud technology.




                                                                                       Page 23
MindBanking

5.3 Marketing Strategy

   Marketing strategy lies on using exact or narrow marketing channel for
   each target group (community). For Inventors, our most important
   target group, we intend to use mainly Facebook social ads and
   respectively Google Adwords. We can position our key target group as
   spending a lot of their time on Facebook, since it is a rather creative portal
   in entertainment kind of way, and bypassing business social networking
   portals since they do not offer much and require much effort for
   business utilization. The plan is to draw their attention from Facebook and
   channel their energy and ideas towards production and
   entrepreneurship. Furthermore, for that target group we wouldn't use
   online banners as a mean of communication, but more involving Social
   ads (social groups, fan clubs, applications, etc.)


   Target group Investors also require special attention. The strategy is to
   reach them at FT.com and the Time Magazine online or New York times.

   Target group Collaborators will be reached through banners and WOM on
   the LinkedIn.com, and other social (and business) networking portals.

   Launch campaign will consist of two phases:

   Phase 1 (Beta testing period)

   Since we will have 45 days of Beta testing period the strategy is for that
   period to deploy Facebook social ads, Google Adwords, WOM, guerilla
   marketing (blogs, forums, chats…) which will serve for all three target
   groups. In this kind of communication methods possibly the least
   covered are Investors.



   Phase 2 (100% ready)

   Banners on Facebook.com, LinkedIn.com, FT.com, Time Magazine online
   or New York times online; 100.000 impressions.


   1.0. Beta testing campaign

   1.1. Social campaign and applications - 10.000 Euro
                                                                           Page 24
MindBanking

1.2. Google Adwords - around 20 key words for 1 month - 1.000 Euro

1.3 Direct Ads, targeted on communities - 10.000 Euro

1.4 Guerilla marketing & WOM daily for a month on blogs, forums etc. -
1.000 Euro

2.0 100 % ready campaign

Strategy is to keep running social networking campaign and Google
Adwords all the time. Furthermore, to put banners on business and
news portals with around 100.000 impressions, one by one.


2.1 NYTimes.com - around 100.000 impressions - 11.000 USD

2.2 FT.com - 468x60 banner, contextual targeting (business) plus
geographical, Cost per Thousand Impressions (CPM) = 55, 00 GBP.
Plan: 100.000 impressions = 5.500,00 GBP = 11.000,00 USD.

2.3. Facebook.com - at least 100.000 impressions

2.4. LinkedIn.com - at least 100.000 impressions

More detailed marketing strategy will be developed before it would be
launched.




                                                                    Page 25
MindBanking

5.4 Sales Strategy

   The main business model is a subscription fee and pay per piece (as far as mobile
   applications are concerned). We believe that as soon as we get critical mass of
   audience and the activity (serious projects), as well as we develop the platform into a real
   business console, there wouldn't be a problem to get subscription fees from the users,
   especially if we bring serious investors and become a nursery of important projects.
   Furthermore, selling advertising space is always a viable business model. We also
   believe we could apply service of brokerage.

   At the end MindBanking is hoping that through its development that numerous new
   revenue and business models would be generated and deployed.




                                                                                        Page 26
MindBanking




Additional storage of 3 GB will be charged 5 USD per month and offered as a 3/6/12
months package.


                                                                                 Page 27
MindBanking
   Subscription will be available as a 3/6/12 months packages:




   As for the advertising, the equation is simple; greater the number of user (eye-
   balls), more advertising space is sold. Great advantage with internet advertising is
   that we are not only able to count every single user, we also know their names,
   preferences and interests, so we could adapt our business and tech/development
   strategy accordingly.


5.4.1 Sales Forecast

   We predicted that by the end of the first year we will have 64.000 active users, which
   of 50.000 would spend for our subscription about 50 USD per year, we could have
   revenue of 2.500.000 USD. We assume our users will be willing to pay 50 USD per year.
   The price definitely represents value for money, since some other social networking
   portals charge much more for less utilization.

   Advertising revenues are more of a educated guess and could only be higher since
   globally revenues from online advertising are growing every year.

   In 2012 21% of global ad spending will happen online

   Interactive advertising revenues will increase significantly from $45 bln in 2007 to $147
   bln globally in 2012, representing a 23.4%, according to Kelsey Group. Interactive
   advertising, which comprises search (including local search), display advertising,
   classifieds and other interactive ad products, grew its share of global advertising
   revenues from 6.1% in 2006 to 7.4% in 2007. By 2012 Kelsey Group analysts expect the
   interactive share of global ad spending will reach 21%. During the forecast period
   (2007-2012), the United States will see interactive advertising revenues grow from
   $22.5 billion to $62.4 bln (22.6% CAGR), with interactive revenues in Canada
   increasing from $1.3 bln to $3.3 billion (21.3% CAGR).

6.0 Management Summary




6.1 Personnel Plan

   In the first year the plan is to hire as few personnel as possible. Most of the
   development and production will be done by outsourcing. In the second FY when we
   anticipate revenue is to start pouring in, would hire small but high quality team. In the FYs
   that follow we would expand significantly our personnel, with the special consideration
   on R&D (Research and Development) team, and would form Board of Directors.

Our position in the business social networking market would be significant since we would be offering a unique online working and developing platform and hope to create unique, vibrant and powerful community. The main objective of MindBanking.com is to become an entrepreneurs' main working platform; to become their office, business space and their home page; the first thing to visit when they go online, as well as the last before going offline; spending an average 4 hours per day using MindBanking portal/application/platform. The goal is also to create such a powerful and vibrant community, which would respectively compel investors to become active in searching and "pulling" projects. Furthermore socio-economic trends like hard labor as well as repetitive labor being replaced with machines, technology and robotics, is shaping our social landscape; as well as trends in economy such as domination of services economy and inauguration of post- industry which puts the intellectual production, “virtual” goods and services at the pivotal place in the economy. For example estimated worth of Facebook at the beginning of 2011 have been around 50 billion USD; however the value is not estimated as the value of brick and mortar properties, but the equity is measured by the value of its community, quality of its intellectual goods and services, (and a basic social networking service is free!), and its impact and influence on the social reality. All mentioned are the arguments that the project has anticipated the future market, new economies and new business infrastructure. Page 1
  • 5. MindBanking 1.1 Objectives The objective of this project is to perceive the new media and communication world as a (new) business developing platform. Social networks proved to be a new media mantra; however its business developing potential has yet not been proven. MindBanking project is as much community and development as it is profit driven. The objective is to create vibrant an interactive online business portal, where biggest and smallest entrepreneurs could meet, providing a generator or incubator of ideas, for new business opportunities that are about to lead to new businesses, products and services. The project has a strong market (or attention) value since its target groups belong to both consumers and businesses. MindBanking caters to all business interactions; B2B, B2C, C2B, C2C and all other future ones. Page 2
  • 6. MindBanking 1.2 Mission MindBanking generates business ideas that could bring together entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs. This online service would help generate profit by creating a community that would among other things develop projects using unique working/ development platform, furthermore by constantly upgrading services and by building a community. Interaction (a network) of market sectors could create exciting business scene. The system used in building infrastructure of the project is drawn from network theory, system theory and the Attention Economy. The program strives to comprise complex and dynamic infrastructure to be able to ensure sustainability as well as constant progress and development thus constant growth of revenue. The system and infrastructure of the project will also be continually scrutinized and upgraded. Page 3
  • 7. MindBanking 1.3 Keys to Success Although global economy is a reality, only several business enclaves like New York, Dubai, Silicon Valley, Hong Kong or similar could claim its business supremacy since they represent centers or/and conglomerates of business activity. We could say that being in one place gives them the strength or better said energy to progress and develop and to become economic forerunner. MindBanking prospers on that same premise. To put in the same space independent innovators, SME, global corporations, investors, thriving individuals with new ideas, entrepreneurs, and such, and to deploy its multi-interaction could truly produce new marketplace as well as new economies or new business idioms. The project presupposes a vision of a new business scene and its infrastructure through the idea – everyone is an entrepreneur. Numerous trends show that developing own business is the future of economic scene, thus the project meets that basic need. Almost every innovator claims the same – we do not know how to do the business!; MindBanking is empowered to deal with the mentioned problem through offering online business plan platform, production, workflow and project management tools, interaction tools and playful and user-friendly business environment. Furthermore, the main objective of MindBanking is to become an entrepreneurs' main working platform; to become their office, business space and their home page; the first thing to visit when they go online, as well as the last before going offline; spending an average 4 hours per day using MindBanking portal/application/platform as their ultimate business console. The goal is also to create such a powerful and vibrant community, which would respectively compel investors to become active in searching and "pulling" projects. MindBanking thrives on the premise that everyone is a potential entrepreneur; if we furthermore take into consideration digitally converged media environment that empowers every user to create its own business opportunity, along with the idea that the online infrastructure will prevail in the future of business operations, we could claim we hit the target. So the strategy proposes for the MindBanking to become the platform for creating endless number of (original) business communities and a vigorous and self-producing new business scene. Mindbanking is a vision of new economy which presupposes development of the new market technology, which perpetuates network distribution, niche markets, dynamic- modular production units, which would respectively replace mass production and liberalize working processes. Page 4
  • 8. MindBanking The project anticipates or even brings about new paradigm shift at a production process at large. Some of the trends are already taking place as a part of production process; such as, fluid working hours and Sunday as a working day shows that our working week has been submitted to significant changes. It is what theoretician Leadbeater in his Knowledge Economy calls “graying the calendar” (Leadbeater, 2000). Furthermore, there is also a trend of working from locations other than office, in small groups, using communication tools such as Skype, MSN, or mobile phone applications; thus the conditions for the development of like economy has already been sketched. Even some new trends in hardware technology are proving the way we communicate, work and spend our daily lives is changing. For example tablet phenomenon (e.g. Apple iPad, BlackBerry PlayBook, HTC Flyer, Samsung Galaxy Tab etc.); book reading devices/tablets (e.g. Kindle). Mentioned trends show that everything becomes “on the go”, even production. Furthermore socio-economic trends like hard labor as well as repetitive labor being replaced with machines, technology and robotics, is shaping our social landscape; as well as trends in economy such as domination of services economy and inauguration of post-industry which puts the intellectual production, “virtual” goods and services at the pivotal place in the economy. For example estimated worth of Facebook at the beginning of 2011 have been around 50 billion USD; however the value is not estimated as the value of brick and mortar properties, but the equity is measured by the value of its community, quality of its intellectual goods and services, (and a basic social networking service is free!), and its impact and influence on the social reality. All mentioned are the arguments that the project has anticipated the future market, new economies and new business infrastructure. Page 5

However, the same group is also the main user of all services offered on the MindBanking portal/platform. They will try to find collaborators, will use the working platform and will have a need to use business plan templates and legal advices. More detailed segmentation: Entrepreneurs, SME-s, Inventors, Media professionals, Artists, New media freaks, Media semi-professionals, Independent scholars, Independent researchers, Universities, Grad Students, etc. In the broad scope our main target group (communities) are early adopters/trend setters/ tech savvy users and independent innovators. Investors – are uising portal in order to find ideas, projects, products, business solutions etc. Segmentation in this group could also be detailed as: corporations, SME-s, individual investors, venture capital houses, producers, publishers etc. Investors will also have to build their profile through company logo, investment portfolio, project portfolio and such. Collaborators – is a target group mainly seeking for interesting projects to collaborate in, to get experience, and respectively would become Innovators. User Scenario User 1 – innovator Fruitful idea maker sits in front of the Facebook sending his friends chocolate, gummy bears and smiles; throwing sheep and philosophers at his colleagues; waiting for something exciting to appear on a horizon. He (let us say is a he) is inhibited to think about piles of ideas stocked in his drawer, because every time he does, a rush of frustration and disappointment overwhelms him. Suddenly information appears like an epiphany, a thunderstruck. MindBanking.com – submit ideas, find collaborators, develop projects, and find investors. Just what I needed! I am going there right away! After exploring possibilities MindBanking is offering, he starts to submit ideas.

Going deeper into the MindBanking portal he discovers he could do everything in one place in order to develop his project: he can manage it through Workflow tools, develop it through the Working platform, he finds a business plan development application extremely useful, as well as a database of investors. After a couple of months MindBanking becomes his global office, his conditio sine qua non. Every day he wakes up and starts his working day at the MindBanking. He spends the whole day managing his tasks, checking status of collaborators tasks, setting new tasks, managing possible problems in a project development, communicating with collaborators, finding investors or communicating with investors he had already make a connection with, developing business plan(s) etc., in a nutshell, developing his business. And suddenly like he never intended to, finds he had became an entrepreneur. Even better, he realizes that around him grew a brand new, exciting and vibrant business scene. User 2 – investor She is sitting with the head in her hands, under pressure to find new business ideas; but where to find them? Desperate, she opens a www.ft.com. Yeah,like they are going to offer fresh ideas on a silver platter, crosses her mind. She opens the www.ft.com page and there it is, a banner: MindBanking.com, the source of business ideas!

She rushes to the MindBanking, and finds not only what she was desperately looking for, but an extraordinary vigorous and exceptional business scene. At once she finds couple of mind-blowing projects matching her interest, and right away starts communication with the team working on it. Her business routine takes a different shape. Every morning she checks what has been done with the project she invested into. If there are any alerts, how the production is going. Also she is onto new ideas and new projects.

Communicating to them, bringing them together and engaging them in a production (even of their own projects) could produce uncanny business scene, which of course presupposes raising attention to high level consequently generating revenue through conveyed business models. 4.3 Service Business Analysis MindBanking project belongs to the online business networking online services. Revenue models for this kind of services include subscriptionfees, pay per piece (regarding mainly mobile applications), advertising, service sales (pay per piece and subscription), and respectively brokerage. Xing.com – mainly subscription fees (premium membership) LinkedIn.com – mainly advertising (plus premium membership) Facebook.com – mainly advertising Page 18

MindBanking 4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns Broad market Xing.com Advantages for Mindbanking Xing.com merely offers database of professionals, no other services; it takes a lot of effort to utilize the service they offer. Three moths premium membership plus a moth gratis costs 18 Euros, too expensive, especially for young people struggling in a entrepreneurs world. Threats for Mindbanking Xing.com already has 7 million users (2009). LinkedIn.com Advantages for MindBanking Our research shows social networking platforms that do not offer added value but merely profile upload and possibility to connect with friends and colleagues do not have much action going on and as a result the portal quickly loses its attention, its Premium Membership still does not offer much in utilizing business opportunities especially for entrepreneurs beginners, which again does not solve problem(s) for the user. Such is the case with LinkedIn. Our added value: MindBanking is a one-stop- shop which has a certain potential to become fully equipped and serviced global office. MindBanking is a console for developing business. Page 19

Mindbanking has an advantage in the context that Kickstarter does not allow investments, selling a share of the project etc.; it is a crowdfunding and merchandising service, and it doesn't have project development and management platform. 1.

  • 26. MindBanking 5.2 Competitive Edge Main social/business network web sites are LinkedIn, Xing, and of course Facebook, absolute winner in number of registered users, impact and revenue. Xing.com as a business (social) network was founded in 2003 had 5 million users in 2008, and an estimated revenue of €10.1 million in 2006; source Wikipedia.com, http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XING, April 2008. In 2009 number of users for Xing.com grew to 7.000.000, representing 40% growth. LinkedIn.com, had an estimated 20 million users in 2008 and 43 million in 2009. Facebook.com was founded in February 2004, had an estimated 69 million users in January 2008 (source, Facebook, January 2008), and revenue of 150 million USD; (source, Forbes, March 6, 2008.) In 2009, number of users grew to 250.000.000, representing 262% growth. Potential for revenue growth from that position is huge. Facebook ended 2008 making between $280 million and $300 million, according to many reports. The company’s revenues likely reached between $600 million and $700 million for 2009. sources estimate the company could make between $1 billion and $1.1 billion in total revenue this year. (source: Inside Facebook; www.insidefacebook. com/2010/03/02/facebook-made-up-to-700-million-in-2009-on-track-towards-1-1-billion- in-2010/, 2010) Our position in the business social networking market would be significant since we would be offering a unique online working and developing platform. In a nutshell, our competitive advantage is to be the first in a global market offering services to help develop and deploy projects online. Furthermore, if we compare ourselves with other social networking portals, even the business ones, like LinkedIn.com and Xing.com, we believe that our portal will have much higher business utilization than any of them. Furthermore, our competitive edge and our biggest strength is in the vision of the project. The vision where almost every business could be conducted, every product produced, as the almighty business, development and production console, which would be more and more possible by the further development and implementation of the Cloud technology.

  • 27. MindBanking 5.3 Marketing Strategy Marketing strategy lies on using exact or narrow marketing channel for each target group (community). For Inventors, our most important target group, we intend to use mainly Facebook social ads and respectively Google Adwords. We can position our key target group as spending a lot of their time on Facebook, since it is a rather creative portal in entertainment kind of way, and bypassing business social networking portals since they do not offer much and require much effort for business utilization. The plan is to draw their attention from Facebook and channel their energy and ideas towards production and entrepreneurship. Furthermore, for that target group we wouldn't use online banners as a mean of communication, but more involving Social ads (social groups, fan clubs, applications, etc.) Target group Investors also require special attention. The strategy is to reach them at FT.com and the Time Magazine online or New York times. Target group Collaborators will be reached through banners and WOM on the LinkedIn.com, and other social (and business) networking portals. Launch campaign will consist of two phases: Phase 1 (Beta testing period) Since we will have 45 days of Beta testing period the strategy is for that period to deploy Facebook social ads, Google Adwords, WOM, guerilla marketing (blogs, forums, chats…) which will serve for all three target groups. In this kind of communication methods possibly the least covered are Investors. Phase 2 (100% ready) Banners on Facebook.com, LinkedIn.com, FT.com, Time Magazine online or New York times online; 100.000 impressions. 1.0. Beta testing campaign 1.1.

Furthermore, to put banners on business and news portals with around 100.000 impressions, one by one. 2.1 NYTimes.com - around 100.000 impressions - 11.000 USD 2.2 FT.com - 468x60 banner, contextual targeting (business) plus geographical, Cost per Thousand Impressions (CPM) = 55, 00 GBP. Plan: 100.000 impressions = 5.500,00 GBP = 11.000,00 USD. 2.3. Facebook.com - at least 100.000 impressions 2.4. LinkedIn.com - at least 100.000 impressions More detailed marketing strategy will be developed before it would be launched. Page 25
  • 29. MindBanking 5.4 Sales Strategy The main business model is a subscription fee and pay per piece (as far as mobile applications are concerned). We believe that as soon as we get critical mass of audience and the activity (serious projects), as well as we develop the platform into a real business console, there wouldn't be a problem to get subscription fees from the users, especially if we bring serious investors and become a nursery of important projects. Furthermore, selling advertising space is always a viable business model. We also believe we could apply service of brokerage. At the end MindBanking is hoping that through its development that numerous new revenue and business models would be generated and deployed. Page 26

  • 31. MindBanking Subscription will be available as a 3/6/12 months packages: As for the advertising, the equation is simple; greater the number of user (eye- balls), more advertising space is sold. Great advantage with internet advertising is that we are not only able to count every single user, we also know their names, preferences and interests, so we could adapt our business and tech/development strategy accordingly. 5.4.1 Sales Forecast We predicted that by the end of the first year we will have 64.000 active users, which of 50.000 would spend for our subscription about 50 USD per year, we could have revenue of 2.500.000 USD. We assume our users will be willing to pay 50 USD per year. The price definitely represents value for money, since some other social networking portals charge much more for less utilization. Advertising revenues are more of a educated guess and could only be higher since globally revenues from online advertising are growing every year.
