👋 This is the pitch deck for One Platform.
It was co-created by 📝Jim Goodman (CTO) and 📝Brian Swichkow (CEO).
*The One Platform Deck is in presently in notation form, see also: 📝One Studio // Deck
Overview
- Hosting a gathering in the post CV19 world is a mess, disparate systems that don't talk to each other, and those systems "own" the customer
- Small-medium gatherings and individuals can have difficulty using various systems to host, communicate and network with others.
Opportunity
- Social platforms have enslaved the already fractured of the events landscape
- We are helping event and community organizers re-invent the way people come together
Problem
- Today's social/communication platforms are mired in misinformation, sensationalism, etc.
- Emails not delivered, zoom bombed, etc.
- Users of these platforms are cutting ties, deleting accounts, etc.
- Community and event organizers are seeking a platform-less solution.
Solution
- One's decentralized, networked structures give users control and agency
- Aggregation of services and features creates headless platforms, unique to customer needs
- Our handholding invites each customer into our community, enlarging the community, which in turn offers support and assistance to all members. Self-perpetuating... digital kibbutz, bot that suggests members that can assist, etc. (expand)
Traction
- 📝Mythos One is a 📝Living System for communication and community
- 📝One+ provides AI-augmented conversation with human assistance
- 📝One Gathering creates and hosts immersive events and co-created gatherings
- One Agency
- 📝One Studio incubated and tested all technologies
All are integrated with Mythos One and can be used as a standalone product
Customer/Market
Us/One's story
- Yoga and Burner crowd
- this is where we do the yoga speak... this is a niche market that is huge: clothing, food/drinks, investing platforms, etc. They are underserved, have going businesses that may not be tech savvy (hello Etsy!), and need the service to grow each of their own communities. This is where we shine, because it’s your world, and we can be that bridge from that to the “suits”.
- [Thought leaders*]
- [Corporate customer service]
- Event and conference organizers
Competition
- Mythos One // Notion, Confluence, etc.
- Confluence - way too complex. I use Jira/Confluence as a dev/CTO and I (Jim) still can’t figure it out after years!
- One+ // Manychat, etc.
- One Gathering // Eventbrite, Meetup, etc. and event production companies
- No one left for the “little guy”, and MeetUp has had an exodus since being so unstable
- 2017 bought by WeWork
- 2019 November payed off 25% of staff
- 2020 March 30th, bought from WeWork by private investor group, will pivot to online
- One Studio // software studios, and creative agencies
Business Model
- SaaS (One+, Mythos One, etc.)
- Capital exchange vig (One Gathering)
