Problem / Opportunity 
 Event Communities are yet to become an integral part of 
Event Management. Participant driven Events will be the 
Trend. We Build Community of Participants for Events. 
 Individuals have limited tools to Create, Share and Promote 
their Family Events on the Internet. 
 Companies and Ad Agencies rarely find Community Event 
Spaces which are much lower cost than Public and corporate 
Events that demand huge charges for sponsoring events. 
 Small Scale Groups like Art & Cultural Associations find it 
difficult to arrange Events without the right social media tools. 
Further, they seldom have sponsors and manage events with 
tight budgets.
Solution 
 Separate Event and Sponsors Market places for Community 
Events and Companies to find each other. 
 Ticketing Solution for all types of Events. 
 Event Planning Services with Social Media Tools with 
Freemium Pricing Policy. 
 Range of Event Promotional Services like Custom Domains, 
Live Event Chat, Event Blog and Forums, R.S.V.P Attendees 
registration, Mail and SMS Event Reminders, Social Media 
Promotions. 
 Event Analytics like Event Reviews, Social Sharing for Event 
Albums and Videos, Analytics Code integration to Event pages, 
Social Media Analysis, etc 
 Event Dashboard with customizable overview about each 
aspect of the Event.

Business Model 
FREEMIUM PRICING STRATEGY

beyond which they would be charged. 
 Event Ticketing and Event & Sponsor Market Places are 
Charged. 
 Event Analytics and Event Dashboard are Free for all Events
Technology 
 Twitter Bootstrap front end with User Customizable Themes 
and Responsive HTML5 and CSS3 technologies. 
 PHP web pages that are highly secure. 
 MySQL Database created with an approach to handle bulk 
data with fast retrieving times for analytics. 
 Web Services based architecture that enables future 
expansion for more enhancement and add more products / 
services. 
 Use of White Labeled and / or Open Source tools for both 
free and paid services like Email Marketing, Event Reviews, 
Event Ticketing, Live Chat, etc thus reducing the overall 
development costs and time. 
 Cloud based web server ensures scalability and performance 
of website.
Marketing and Sales 
 Freemium pricing policy helps in marketing to all users who 
has our need. 
 Having both Free and Paid services enables conversion of 
free users to Premium users in the long run. 
 Weekly contests like “Best promoted Event of the Week”, 
“Most Successful Event of the Week”, “Best Referrer of the 
Week” helps generate intense Propaganda among all types of 
users. 
 Every activity on the users Event will generate Activity Points 
that can in turn be used to purchase paid services. This helps 
increase the activity of users within the website. 
 Discount Coupons released on special occasions will help 
increase the flow of new traffic from Coupon websites.
Competition 
 Event Ticketing has tough competition when focused on the 
commercial events. We have little focus on Event Ticketing. 
 Event Sponsor Marketplace is still upcoming and available at 
present only with local Ad Agencies. We have separate Event 
Marketing section that focuses on this aspect. 
Family and Group Events have little to no competition as their 
event promotion needs are different and they mostly do not 
have tickets. This will be our Target customer base initially. 
 Paid services provided by us are generally accessible as 
free / paid services each from a different website. We help 
event owner to access all the tools required for their Event 
Planning, Promotion, Marketing and Analysis at one place. 
Each section has both free and paid services according to 
customers choice.
Projections and Milestones 
 Beta Version release by March 2015. All services will be free 
at this time. Ads will be live by this time. 
 Alpha Version launched by March 2016 with Freemium 
model implemented and a customer base of 10,000 users. 
 Freemium pricing models finalized and all services being 
provided will be developed and implemented in-house instead 
of using white-labeled services for ticketing or other services by 
March 2017. Expected user base to be more than 1,00,000 
with at least 3% users using paid services. Revenue from Ads 
expected to sustain ongoing costs.
Status 
 Free and Paid services identified. 
 Third Party Tools required for integration are Identified. 
 Front End Design still undergoing changes. 
 Basic Database Design ready with extensibility for third party 
tools or plugins 
 User Interface testing for various services is on going.
Summary and Call to Action 
 We have a definite plan with resources and finance till beta 
launch of MARVELL EVENTS by March 2015. 
 We also have decided on a marketing plan after product 
launch. 
 We do not have a strong management team yet. Need more 
resources for critical positions. 
 We would require funding for ongoing marketing promotions 
like Weekly contests, Discount coupons, Google Ads, etc from 
March 2015. 
 We also require funding to hire Better Talent. 
 Mentoring and Accelerating our Startup is a necessity.
