Elevator Pitch

Hey there, aren't you _______.  Hey it's good to finally meet you!

I'd like to let in on what I'm up to now and and an investment opportunity I think would be perfect for you.  My latest venture, MergeMe, is on a mission to give people back control of how they communicate.

I know, right?  Sounds huge.  Pie in the sky.  Crazy.  Insane.  Well, if you want to go big, you have to think big.  I have a plan, of measure small concrete steps, that will systematically lead to this goal.

How are we going to start?  We are starting with the launch of our flagship product, CrossRoads "where all your communications intersect."  We will initially push this out as a free mobile application with limited functionality.  The idea being to quickly build a user base of the application.  They will be able to access up to 3 forms of communication in the application with limited functionality.

How you're going to get your investment back, is this.  There will be two upgrade options to the application at $6.99 and $9.99.  We're already in talks with Jeff Goldblum about being our spokesperson.  We are in development now, and are looking at a 6 month launch date.  With a strong marketing campaign, we forecast getting the application pushed into at least 5 million users within 3 months after launch, with a minimum of 20% upgrade option, which translates to somewhere between 7 and 10 million in revenue.

So we can have you're initially 500k investment returned within the first year, with the option to stay invested into the next phase.

We plan to take the profits from CrossRoads and combine that with funds from a kick-starter campaign, to launch the MergeMe platform.  This platform will be run as "for value".  We want to do for social media what wikipedia has done for information.  We are partnering with SpiderOak to provide secure hosting of user content.  Users will be provided a limited space for free, with the option to pay for more storage.  The platform will connect users peer-to-peer.   Users will have complete control over how their information is shared, stored, and whether or not they can remove information.  The platform will be funded solely on user donations.  No information regarding how users communicate will ever be used for profit.  The only monitoring that will be done will be anonymous, and for the purposes of preventing abuse and improving the performance of the system.

That is our vision, and we hope you see the long term value of what we hope to accomplish.  In any event, we know you see the value in our CrossRoads product, and look forward to bringing you in on the ground floor.
