Financial Assumptions
Growth Assumptions
Valuation Assumptions
SourcesTechCrunch, Pehub, Dealbook, Crunchbase, VentureBeat
-Don’t Assume Shit! Lol, We’ll talk more after launch ;)
-Expected to process 5,000 paid accounts in the first year-Around 1200 businesses for 4 different search categories-over 100,000 Sales Leads provided from top databases-Payments/ecommerce won’t begin in the first year
Concerns & Responses
Credits Card processing won’t be coming anytime soon
There’s too much money involved. Banking has started and cc processing will follow
Competitors will leverage ability to provide the service at lower prices
And slash revenue by 60%? Besides that, iNeedTreez has a different Target Audience.
Your competitors have moreuser base and traction already from the past 2-3 years!
Are you sure? Check AngelListaccounts of us all and then..have a look at Twitter ;)
No defining industry standard
Flexibility of the industry promotes innovation, iNeedTreez wants to be that standard
