4. 2.1 The Business idea - Problem statement Problem: • Situation: • Usual social networks are friend-centered (links to people you already know) • If you're looking for new hobby/activity you are limited with your close-social friends • You may even don't know about other events/alternatives! Consequence: • People are limited to interests and hobbies of their nearest friends • It's hard to find a company when you're starting a new hobby

5. 2. The Business idea - Application overview • Proposed solution - Interests-based, activity-oriented platform • For Users: • Connect different people with similar interests via events • You didn't know each other before • But you have so same interests/hobbies! • Organizing and filtering events • People create events they want to participate/organize • Other users interested in same topics get notified and join • Key feature: • You don`t have to find an event. The event informs you about its existence! • (event flow is controlled by user profile - interests) • For Business: • Providing service providers to target customers, by interests

6. Bereich Finanzen 3. What can we provide to the customer Service description • Basic functionality: • Set you profile interests and get events, which are suitable for you (Based on the appropriate location and interests) • Create events of your interest, which you want to organize or participate • Get informed about new events in your location according to your preferences • Participate! Get new friends and even more hobbies! • Get a bonus for being more active! (user ranking system) • Solution development: • Facebook integration (LogIn, Data import)

7. 4. What is our target group? Who will use the application • Socially active young adults • No problems with "Youth Protection Act" • Mostly higher income

8. 5. Benefits for our customers Why should someone use the application? • Finding events based on your interests • Don`t spend time for searching! • Meet new people • Find new areas of interest or hobbies • Join new communities

9. 6. How we provide the service? Service provision • Main tool: Web site • Notification system: in site interface, via email • Further development steps: facebook integration, user login via account, user gathering

10. 7. How to get revenues from the service? Generate revenues • Advertisement content (suggestions) from service providers for organized events • Special offers for the related hobbies

11. 8. Who are our competitors? Competitors and our differences • Direct competitors: • Global social networks • Facebook events system • Difference: • We provide events to users based on their profile and interests • Event finds a person. No manual search! • Minimum configuration: Search and match is done by the system, users just set what they are interested in • Users only have to accept or decline the proposed events

12. 9. Summary Why will the web site be successful? • New concept, events search platform reversed • Ease of use, minimal configuration • Large audience can be involved (app is useful!)
