Company Summary

Pblcty is Social Event & News Network (C-Corp). Our mission is to disrupt how people around the world connect with not only inspiring and preferred Events & News, but also to each other (through shared interests). NOTE: we recently pivot off our original model to create what Pblcty is today.

TRACTION
- August: Launched Minimum Viable Product (hereinafter, MVP)
- September: 10.5K UMVs (spending only $650 on marketing)
- October: 18.5K UMVs (spending only $950 on marketing)

MVP
Our live, initial Platform:
- Increases the speed and efficiency that direct from the "Source" (AKA Newsmaker) Events, News, Photos & Videos connect with desiring Users
- Connects Users to each other based on shared interests and who they know…not solely by who they know or aspire to know (a la Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.). Sociologically, "shared interests" are a vital component in friendship creation and maintenance

INDUSTRY PROBLEMS: During our development we identified massive problems, which led to our business’ pivot and the delivery of our MVP. Those problems are not limited to:
- Technology is making it easier to create content, yet more content means it's becoming harder and harder to connect that content to Users, who want it, due to human lack of ability to consume more content by existing methods that are in full production
- Social Networks connect people primarily based on whom we know
- Media, Digital Media Platforms and Aggregators focus on A-List stories or primarily share content off major publishers; making is still difficult to connect most Events & News

CAPITAL
$100K in Friend and Family investment (plus additional CEO investment)

REVENUE STREAMS
- Advertising
- Content Licensing
- Freemium (into B2B subscription and a la carte content delivery services)

MISCELLANEOUS
If you think we are like an existing Media Outlet, News Aggregator or Digital Magazine Platform, we are not due to the facts that we have the ability to:
- Uniquely generate content scale (through exciting, quality and highly underserved Newsmakers)
- Create a dynamic and interactive community amongst content consuming Users
- Grow into Bridging Online and Offline components
