DESCRIPTION

WeGreenlight crowdsources idea development from potential consumers, so creators can "build an idea by building a following". WeGreenlight’s potential consumers “greenlight” the ideas that they want to see made. This helps creators (entertainers, designers, engineers, entreprenuers, etc.) validate their concepts with the wisdom of the crowd and helps them avoid investing time, energy and money into ideas that have no market. Our process does more than just provide validation and feedback, as the potential consumers that greenlight the ideas are also the early adopters who will ultimately be the first to view, get and/or fund the final products of the ideas. This process helps build consumer engagement from inception rather than at the end of the development cycle, greatly reducing the risk of developing your product and increasing the success of your product launch.

What is WeGreenlight?

Crowdsource idea development from potential consumers to "build an idea by building a following”   WeGreenlight’s users “greenlight” ideas that they want to see made, and they can view, buy, and fund the final products of these ideas

build an awaiting fanbase before their product launches

The Current Problem

Sources: Research Management by C. Merles Crawford, The Wall Street Journal, The Hollywood Reporter, The Verge

•  90% of all new businesses fail

•  80% of all new television series fail

•  Over 50% of new product launches fail

•  56% - 90% of Crowdfunding campaigns fail

Each of us have failed in the past launching our own startups, crowdfunding, and entertainment. No matter how we failed, we all found ourselves wondering why nobody wanted what we made.

If only we could create products that we already knew people wanted…

Page 5: WeGreenlight Pitch Deck

WeGreenlight’s Competitors Competitors show crowdsourcing

can improve developing ideas:

•  Video Games (Steam Greenlight) •  Customer Feedback (Betterific) •  Movies (FilmBreak) •  Toys (Lego Ideas) •  Government (Mind Mixer) •  Electronics (Quirky)

But so far their attempts treat this process more as a limited contest rather than realizing it’s full potential

as the next generation of commerce

Page 6: WeGreenlight Pitch Deck

WeGreenlight’s Advantages

Users are capped on the number of “greenlights” they can give, so they

must be selective to unlock exclusive

products that they really want

WeGreenlight engages consumers more into supporting ideas they want while being selective

Page 7: WeGreenlight Pitch Deck

WeGreenlight’s Advantages

•  Get to know who your likely consumers are

•  Get direct consumer feedback by messaging your greenlighters and seeing their suggestions

Our real-time analytics show you more than just how many people like your idea

•  Use this data to tailor the perfect product

Page 8: WeGreenlight Pitch Deck

WeGreenlight’s Advantages

1.  When creators post a product they link it to the idea it’s based on

2.  This simple process automatically notifies greenlighters that they can view, buy, or fund the final products they greenlit

WeGreenlight gives creators control as they develop their products and launch to awaiting fans for free
