Competitors

Competitors

Existing competitors use physical photography or manual 3D model creation. However, there's a lack of solid solutions for integrating these images seamlessly onto models without photoshoots. Potential competitors could be any tech firms working on AI-driven image manipulation.

Our Advantages

Leveraging our profound understanding of generative AI technology, we provide unique solutions to businesses. Our deep industry expertise, derived from hands-on experience with distinct brands, equips us to create unparalleled value for our clients.

Business model

Currently we charge $65 per image created. Once we launch our customer portal in May we will be shifting to a subscription model per brand based upon functionality and number of products

Traction

We're on the brink of unveiling our advanced customer portal while simultaneously enhancing our AI capabilities for greater efficiency. In addition to this, we've successfully onboarded four new clients.

Our startup's success journey continues to thrive as we hit a new milestone - we're delighted to now be serving 50 businesses, providing them with high-value solutions. This remarkable progress is proof of our unwavering commitment and service strength.

Metrics

Our product metrics focus on Active Brands as a key performance indicator, tracking user engagement and retention. Churn rates allow us to monitor customer loss over time while LTV gives insight into the profitability of each client throughout their lifecycle with our service.

Our months are currently balanced financially, with expenses averaging $45k, closely mirroring our incoming cash flow. This places us in a break-even scenario for the time being.

Key risks
