3. RIGHT NOW
You are currently in Marienplatz, Berlin. You need to get to the
hotel you’ve booked in Rho Fiera.
To find the best way to get there, you have to go through a lot
of websites.
DBahn, Trenitalia, AirBerlin, ATM, BVG, Alitalia, Lufthansa...
It’s complicated and time consuming.
4. WITH US
You book the hotel with your smartphone. In the confirmation page, there is a button
You don’t need to input where you are, the GPS knows it.
You don’t have to input where you need to go, the website knows it.
You don’t have to input your preferences (time, price, environmental impact): if you already have a
profile, we know them.
You just have to press the button and follow our directions.
5. EVEN EASIER...
You have a shop. You need to explain people how to reach you.
Just link to umv.me/go/your address, we’ll do the rest. It’s that
simple! (and we get free traffic).
There are a lot of physical addresses on the internet.
We can show users how to reach them.
7. REVENUE MODELS/API
Websites that offer geo-localized data (think Booking.com, Yelp,
Paginegialle, AirBnB, but also local shops...) need to help their
users to get where they need to be.
We can help them.
PRICING
Free for light users: they help us spread the word
~0,5 EUR/1000 calls for heavy users (>2500 calls/day)
Our MVP will allow us to earn API revenue from day 0.
Plus, API revenue is not related to the user base.
8. MARKET(S) FOR API
Lot of possible markets for our API vs limited resources.
So, we prioritize.
For high size, value-proposition congruent, reachable markets, we
use a push strategy (sales-driven approach), using a “smallest
meaningful segment” strategy.
For the others, we use a pull strategy (self-service and
through API marketplaces)

12. LONG TERM: PLATFORM
The best way to get from A to B can be used in a lot of ways.
More than we’ll ever know.
That’s why our long term goal is to become a platform.
We let developer use our API to create the products they want. If
we like it, we approve it, host it and sell it through our platform.
For example, you’ve built an app for real estate websites that allow
users to search only for houses that are <30 min from their workplace
by bus.
Cool! We’ll sell it for you and we’ll share the revenues.
