I
I had this idea for a tech company that was spurred by the excitement around the Metaverse, but with the SAG-AFTRA strike and fear of AI, it actually makes more sense. Here is my rough business plan. This is what I thought NFT’s should be used for.
Executive Summary
Virtual Echo is a trailblazing digital twin platform designed to empower artists in the digital era. Our mission is to protect and promote the rights of creatives in the face of emerging technologies like AI and digital cloning. Powered by blockchain technology, we offer a unique solution that allows artists to create and manage their digital twin, controlling its use and monetization in an expanding digital realm. With recent industry upheavals, such as the SAG-AFTRA strikes, the need for such a platform is immediate and pressing.
Company Description
Founded with the ethos of supporting independent creators, Virtual Echo represents the fusion of artistry and technology. At our core, we believe in protecting the individuality and intellectual property rights of creatives, even as we push the boundaries of technological advancement. Our platform uses blockchain technology to ensure the exclusive permission and licensing rights of artists over their digital twins, bringing control back to the creators.
Market Analysis
The potential market for Virtual Echo is expansive, encompassing film, television, music, games, and virtual events. Our primary target demographic includes independent artists and creatives who are excited about digital media’s potential but desire to maintain control over their creative identities. With the growth of the metaverse and the escalating apprehension surrounding AI and digital cloning, the timing and potential for Virtual Echo are unmatched.
Product or Service Description
Virtual Echo’s primary service is the provision of a platform for artists to create, manage, and monetize their digital twin – a virtual representation imbued with their unique expressions, gestures, and voices. Our proprietary blockchain-based system ensures artists’ exclusive permission and licensing rights over their digital twin. This technology promises the artist control over how, where, and by whom their digital likeness is used.
Marketing and Sales Strategy
Our marketing strategy involves directly targeting creatives through social media campaigns, partnerships with creative guilds and unions, and thought leadership within the creative tech space. Our sales strategy is based on a commission system, where we earn a percentage of the licensing revenue generated by the digital twins, aligning our financial success with that of our users.
Financial Plan
Virtual Echo’s revenue model is contingent on a commission-based system from the earnings made from licensing the digital twins. We aim to secure funding to cover our initial development, marketing, and operating expenses, expecting to reach profitability within the first three years of operation as user adoption increases and licensing deals are secured.
