Market:
The influencer marketing industry was experiencing an annual growth rate of approximately 30% to 40% in terms of average annual spending, with forecasts indicating continued budget increases for this marketing channel.

Why now: The current landscape is ideal for launching an influencer marketing platform due to the escalating popularity and effectiveness of influencer collaborations in reaching target audiences across various industries.

Problem: Small and medium businesses (2M in EU and US) don’t have tools to run predictable influencer marketing campaigns and lose 20%+ of their budget with agencies

Solution: Influencer marketing SaaS enabling predictable self-learning campaigns

Early Traction: 40+ paying companies(mostly US and EU); avg. monthly growth rate 20%(last 5 month); average monthly churn 0,8%; ARR $63K.

156 #startup #mentaltech #mentalhealth #preseed

A gamified app with Tamagotchi-like mechanics, carefully crafted to help you level up your mental well-being, all while having fun with your new virtual bear.
Our goal is to provide a simple and fun way to manage stress, improve sleep, achieve inner peace, and find balance in life.

We've developed a traditional meditation app for a while, but we've observed that despite the growing market, even the top apps are losing users.
We researched the issue and discovered that apps like Duolingo turned learning new skills into a game successfully. We plan to do the same, but in meditation.

We share vast experience in both mental health and mobile gaming, as well as product development and user acquisition. Which makes us confident that we can deliver a top product to our audience.

The only limiting thing at the moment is resources. We’ve managed to raise $200k to secure an MVP launch but we still need $300k more in order to fully bring our vision to life.

Type of Round: Pre-Seed
Total amount to Raise: $500k ($200k already raised)

155 #startup #marketplace #preseed

We are building a marketplace for senior fractional tech leaders (10-20h/week for 3-18 months).

- Trend: A new category of “elite” freelancers has emerged – part-time tech leaders.

- Solution: Marketplace with AI-powered recommendation & matching system
- Traction: 30+ paying active clients + 300 VPs & managers (ex-Pinterest, Miro, Calm, etc.)
- Team: ex-Mastercard intrapreneur, consulting (Arthur D. Little), ex-VC, PhD in Computer Science. Advisers include ex-Head of Talents @ TopTal

Type of Round: Pre-Seed
Total amount to Raise: $250-300k. $160k signed + $40k committed ($50-100k left)

153 #gamedev #startup #pc #consoles #angelround

We are an award-winning game development studio with a passion for creating games for PC and consoles.
Our team is currently developing a potential Action horror hit.

The game offers a combination of both features intrinsic to good old horror games, like the Resident Evil and Dead Space series, as well as new adventures, set in a world like no other seen before.
We won’t be developing from the ground up.

The development is in progress and a huge chunk of work has been done so far.
Our goal is to bring the project to a whole new level; to target a wide audience, and end up launching a successful game.

World-class publishers already showed their interest for our game.
Unlike any big and famous companies, we don’t dispose of their resources and capabilities, yet we can come up with a quality DEMO version of our game to provoke the interest of bigger guys, and be able to collaborate with them further on. This won’t consume many resources.

In order for us to come up with a quality demo version of the game, an estimate funding of €330K is required.
Demo development time frame is 12 months.
Subsequently, we will be looking for additional funding of the project of ca. €1.6M

145 #startup #rounda #music #ecosystem

We are a company specializing in the development of mobile music iOS applications.

🎯Project Goal
The project aims to develop an ecosystem of 6 music applications within a span of 3 years. Currently, 3 applications are already in development.

📱Our Applications
1. An application for creating music compositions. It allows users to create personalized audio tracks without any experience or musical knowledge.
2. Music Battle Challenge, where players compete in a battle to become the best musician on a global map in real-time, with online spectators.
3. A game for children featuring various characters, each corresponding to a specific arrangement. By moving and combining these characters into groups, children can create musical compositions.
4. An application for generating music for videos. Users upload their own videos, and the application generates music based on specified parameters.
5. An application that generates music tracks in genres like zen, ambient, etc., depending on the user's mood and current activity.
6. A music game where users control a character in sync with the music and overcome obstacles. The game enhances rhythmic thinking.

⭐️Our Advantages
- We have developed our own audio core and SonicDSP library, providing a solid foundation for all planned applications. By creating our audio signal processing module, we are independent of device hardware and operating systems (Apple, Microsoft, Google Android), eliminating any dependence on hardware or platform errors.
- We have created over 120 ready-made tracks and compositions that can be integrated into our products.
- Currently, our team consists of 7 people. We have previously worked together on various projects, establishing a streamlined pipeline, procedures, and business processes. The team's combined experience exceeds 16 years.

🌎Marketing
- We have developed a marketing strategy for promoting our applications, including organic traffic (ASO promotion) and paid traffic (Facebook, ASA, Google, TikTok, etc.).
- The average lifetime value (LTV) of users in this application niche is approximately $35 (in the US region).
- The target average price per paying user is less than $25.
- Additionally, users in this niche exhibit a high app retention rate, approximately 12%. Users continue their subscription even after 12 weeks of subscription renewal.

💸Investments
In this round (A), we are seeking investments ranging from $2.5k to $7 million (for the implementation of 3 applications within 2 years).
Further investment of approximately $10 million will be required to create a closed ecosystem of applications.
