2. What we do 1. We are going to summarize the news from all the media providers. 2. We are going to deliver the news summaries to the users for free. 3. We are going to make money through advertisement and user data. 4. We will apply our technology in the future to other industries.
3. So Much Information • Currently, there's too much information on the Internet. • There's no meaningful way to consume it all. • You don't have time to read all this information that will help you. • What if you can read summaries of that information? • Those summaries give you the most important idea.
4. News Readers • All online news readers are approximately equal to internet users. • Their behaviors differ. Most visit news sites once per month. • Everyone wants to be more informed in less time. • No one has time to read all information available.
5. Our Advantage • Our biggest competitor, Inside.com, uses human summarizers for the news. • We are using summarizing automatically, so we can scale more efficiently. • Our other main competitor, clipped.me, is summarizing from one source. • Our technology will be developed to summarize from multiple sources. • Thus, we can provide better insights than clipped.me
