The problem we solve
We all are aware that information is digital and digital information is being created everywhere, every day and in
ever expanding sources and volumes, information that presents an opportunity and an exposure.
The world of digital information allows anyone to find out anything about you before you ever have the chance to
meet. Customers, competitors, prospects or others can vet you, your company and your competitors turning sales
cycles into the need to be armed with market insights or risk being irrelevant.
The world of information has changed forever. Information is digital and information is being created everywhere;
from social media, business websites, NEWS and other sources too extensive to list here. Every business
professional has a “digital identity or persona” that defines what matters to that professional’s success; a digital
persona that defines the professional’s markets, customers, competitors, prospects, businesses, people, events
and areas of professional interest. A persona that defines what matters to each professional and evolves and
changes throughout one’s career from employer to employer yet continually defines what matters to each
professional at any point in time throughout their career.
In today’s digital world the challenge professionals face is how to simply, easily and affordably eliminate the noise
and gain access to relevant insights and IQ from the world of digital information when, where and how each
professional wants (mobile 1st
) and for an automated app to learn and evolve with the professional throughout
their career.
MyIQ solves this problem providing a single, easy to use, affordable and convenient app to connect them with
relevant, timely and actionable insights when, where and how (mobile 1st
) they want.
In our research, we found no solutions similar to MyIQ nor any that have achieved a leadership position focused
on the success of the business professional. CRM solutions like Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics focus on
enabling businesses do not focus on empowering and connecting the professional with IQ. LinkedIn is the only
business application to have achieved a market leadership position and bring value directly to the business
professional (in their area of networking and job placement – not competitive to MyIQ).
Quantifying the problem

Our customer
Our customer is the business professional. Worldwide this addressable market comprises 1.2 billion professionals1
of which our 1st
target market and a subset is 50 million sales professionals in North America, which represent our
5 year proforma projections.
Through the value proposition of our applications we seek to capture the community of professionals (D2P: Direct
to Professional) in a manner similar to how LinkedIn has captured the same community of professionals for their
application of job search and networking. Secondarily, after we achieve projected scale in 2018 we anticipate
expanding MyIQ to integrate into the B2B CRM systems with a priority on Salesforce then Microsoft Dynamics.
B2B is a value-add to our go to market strategy and a small fraction of our projected revenues and profits.

Our solution - MyIQ
MyIQ is a professional business app that empowers business professionals throughout their career to
automatically create, maintain and evolve their “digital persona” (supported by artificial intelligence and self-
learning technologies to auto maintain, update and evolve one’s digital persona) from which MyIQ connects each
professional with insights and IQ curated and distilled from the world of digital information to keep each
professional informed with the insights that are most relevant to their professional areas of interest and success.
A “digital persona” defines at any point in time throughout each professional’s career the areas of interest that
matter most (customers, competitors, markets, people, businesses, key topics, events and areas of interest) from
which MyIQ queries, sources, finds, analyzes and curates vast amounts of bulk data from the ever expanding and
changing world of public, personal, fee based and permission based data sources to provide each professional with
a continuously improving feed of curated IQ that boils down the ocean of information to an individualized feed of
the most relevant and timely insights about what matters most to each professional based on their living digital
persona.
Imagine such an app integrated into other main stream apps used by all professionals; email, calendar, contacts
and texting and linked into critical data sources such as LinkedIn, Outlook and Gmail. MyIQ’s artificial intelligence
and self-learning technologies constantly monitor, evaluate and refine each user’s persona based on the value the
user derives from the reported IQ and provides each user with “Comparator” insights of how reported IQ
intersects and affects their professional persona (relationships, upcoming calendar appointments, forecasted
pipeline deals, recent emails or other activities) and provides Comparator pathways for users to rapidly see how
IQ may impact their professional success and how they may to act on reported IQ.

Then imagine MyIQ understanding when you are arriving at an appointment and MyIQ’s GeoAlerts alerts you to
current IQ that could impact the meeting or conference you are attending. Peeking at your calendar for upcoming
events or your email for past communications of real time when you address a new email or create a new calendar
event and a MyIQ icon will pop up and you will be able to view current related IQ.
MyIQ will maintain and keep current each user’s “digital persona” throughout their career as their professional
interests evolve based on their career, job changes and relationships while directing their individual MyIQ app to
stay current with what is most important to each user’s professional success.
MyIQ complements and seamlessly fits within the activities and systems of the professional becoming “a security
blanket” that automatically watches the digital back of the professional to find relevant IQ and eliminates the
noise, distractions and exposure of “not knowing” and the time, cost and distractions of acquiring IQ through
today’s methods and systems.
MyIQ is your personal IQ assistant; you control how you want to use the app, direct settings, and frequencies and
how you want to consume IQ. Unlike other systems or apps, you are in control.
Imagine MyIQ doing just that, for $20 per month.
