We are habitually overwhelmed and
craving an escape from our phones.
OfCom’s 2016 survey showed that 15 million people have
already tried a digital detox.
OnePoll’s 2016 survey found that 40% of respondents felt they
had “not truly experienced valuable moments such as a child’s first
steps or graduation” because “technology got in the way”.

How can we find balance in our hyper-connected lives?
The Light Phone Inc. 2017. Confidential.
The Light Phone is a credit card sized
phone that only makes and receives
calls. A casual second phone that
inspires us to leave our smartphones
behind and enjoy quality time while
maintaining the peace of mind that
we’re still reachable by loved ones.
We call this experience, ‘go light’.
Using your existing phone number, it’s a
seamless extension of your smartphone
Our proprietary cloud software
is the first in US to provide a
“second phone, same number” service.

The only ‘second phone’.
The smartphone market is over-saturated with all kinds
of devices and controlled by just a few players. The Light
Phone created and is leading the second phone market.

regardless of where your smartphone is. You can leave
your smartphone behind and ‘go light’ with light phone.
Second Phone, Same Number

makes it a seamless extension of your current phone by

Customer feedback
Liz Anjos
Outdoor enthusiast
“This is perfect for runners. You have the ability to ‘unplug’
by getting away from the distraction of a smartphone while
out on the run, but the option to make or receive a call is
there if you need it... I tested it out and it works beautifully.”

How do they ‘go light’ Light Phone Usage
Data from our direct survey to 344 existing customers.
In our user research we’ve learned about the different
ways people are using the Light Phone. Some users take
it regularly on smaller errands or coffee breaks, leaving
their phones at their computers, and other users take their
Light Phones out with them for meals, concerts or large
chunks of their weekends. The Light Phone is designed to
be used as little as possible and average weekly phone
call usage is still only 8.9 minutes per week.

Growth OpportunityUse of Capital
Ramp up paid marketing
to acquire new users
Introduce Light Phone
with a flat monthly fee
(lower entry barrier)
Secure Carrier
Partnerships
Total paid marketing expense to-date: $45,670 =1% of our total expenses
Total customers to-date: 10,000+
Our CAC (customer acquisition cost): $4.50 per new customer
Current CAC is extremely low as most growth came through organic earned media.
Our current brand awareness, social media presence, and press coverage have
given us a huge growth opportunity to rapidly increase users through
paid media. (Ads, paid influencer and content promotion, etc)
We can offer a competitive plan perfectly paired to the features of our next
Light Phone in the US and overseas. Successful MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network
Operators) have had specific target audiences, our target is simple: Light Phone
users. We will reduce up front costs by working with providers that have SIMs,
billing, and customer care offerings. Our users will pay a flat monthly fee for the
phone and unlimited service.
We are in conversations with carriers internationally. They want to offer the Light
Phone as an add-on when their existing customers get their next smartphone.
We plan to secure these partnerships in the coming months.
