The company and mission

The company is creating the infrastructure for the media of tomorrow.

We create a new 360° media value chain that allows direct peer-to-peer-to-peer transactions, while providing all the tools and infrastructure to enable content producers to sell their videos and photos directly to their audiences and to collaborate with third party companies remotely.

Product / service

Camera sales are on the decline while the market for 360° technologies is expected to become 100x bigger until 2024. It is hence not a question when VR will go mainstream – but what is needed to get it there?

It requires a significant infrastructure push to make productions easier but also consumption. Holistically seen, it requires completely new infrastructure architecture. In addition to this, the medium requires a large amount of manual labour.

The company is solving exactly these problems from scratch, and is the only 360° technology company in the world that connects all elements into one easy-to-use package. We offer high-end 360° cameras and a cloud infrastructure with a high level of automation for processing, hosting, collaborating, and broadcasting.

Business model

Our business model is simple and creates a strong customer lock-in.

A camera sells for 3000€ plus VAT and we generate a second additional revenue for cloud-based services like processing and broadcasting. That means each sold unit will generate an additional annual profit of around 30%.

Since all data processing is through a cloud-based system architecture, the model can be extended through further software-based services and third-party integration offers with low R&D expenditures and follow-up costs, enabling us to enter new markets like AI, AR, and customer-centric data extremely aggressively.

Customers

Our cameras are aimed at a professional segment of B2B customers

And are optimal for

- entertainment

- documentation

- broadcasting

Typical customers for our system are

Board of Directors

Chairman of the Board is an Investment Director at a pre-seed venture capital investor.

The company is currently in the process of identifying profiles to join the Board.

Status

The recent success of our pre-sale campaign (30% discount) has shown us the right recipe for success to sell. We sold 20 units into five countries. We are in the middle of the next campaign to generate leads (15% discount) and have gained requests from +10 EU countries. We invested 600,000 DKK to get there.

We are looking for team members that help us to optimize our sales funnel and make us ready to scale over the next few months.

The hardware will be completed and ready for shipment end-March. Throughout the next coming months, we will further iterate on all software-based building blocks to achieve an effective and reliable system by summer 2018.

Our next workpackages comprise everything that is related to:

a)setting up and automating our processes, as described;

b)making sure the right steps are done to internationalize the product;

c)to raise the necessary funds; and

d)to commence a further R&D project of a 360° drone that we will execute with sub-contractors to an extent of 80%.
