Cloudslate Berkeley Final Presentation
CloudSlate is developing a recommendation engine for lead generation using machine learning. Their goal is to use big data and predictive analytics to identify potential customers similar to a company's existing customers. Their MVP will apply this approach to data from McAfee to generate new leads. They plan to launch on the Salesforce and Marketo platforms and expect revenue of $50k-$120k per customer annually with costs of $33k per customer. Their business model is a SaaS subscription with value-based pricing that improves over time as more customer data is analyzed.

Why we chosethe Lean LaunchPad 24 Not because it is easy, but because it is hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win… Borrowed from John F.
