ObservatoryXXI century application management
The Trend• Cloud transformation presents an excellent
opportunity to create better apps for virtually all markets:
• Enterprise software is complex, lacks capabilities, very costly and needs to go (just as Salesforce.com replaced Siebel 10 years ago, Salesforce.com is now the dinosaur)
• SMB needs are significantly underserved
The Trend
• As business processes are increasingly treated as a competitive advantage:
• Operations inside large companies become merged with internal IT
• Need tools for fast implementation, change management and deployment
Meteor framework
Meteor Framework• Super-fast development, painless deployment and
change management
• Modern technologies (node, javascript, reactive programming…)
• Emerging alternative to Ruby on Rails as startup platform of choice; aspiration to eventually compete with J2EE enterprise servers and other middleware - but in a “tornado” game-shifting way
• Backed by notable VCs investment
Opportunity• Every “techtonic” shift creates opportunity for next
generation ecosystem products:
• and partners
• and
• .
• Technologies used in Meteor present application management possibilities previously unheard of
The Market
• Infrastructure & Middleware ~ $20B (32% IBM share)
• Solarwinds ~ 335M in 2013, growing 50%+
• Several million startups are created every year in the US, 50,000+ get funded
Observatory• Application management and monitoring for Meteor
apps, extendable to virtually any technology
• Prototype used in semi-production apps today
• 100+ enterprise developers signed up and waiting for public beta announcement
• Excitement in the Meteor community
• Start small, solving specific problem at the very early stage, build up from there
Product• Done!
• Performance monitoring, profiling, versatile logging
• Alpha cloud (SaaS) version
• Plan!
• Complete visibility into application internals thanks to JS and node power
• Error detection, live remote debugging, including for specific application clients - next generation customer support
• Modular architecture for non-meteor technologies support
SWOTStrengths:!
- Team with proven product creation experience!
- Advisor that knows how to scale and build the business!
- First to market - no competition at this point!
- Observatory in its’ cin a number of semi-production projects worldwide!
- Subscription model = high valuation
Opportunities:!- “Techtonic” shift in the development
and middleware frameworks driven by Meteor - ~$20B market!
- A lot of excitement and expectation in the Meteor developer community!
- Underlying technologies present previously impossible customer support and app management capabilities
Weaknesses - Lack of a very strong technical co-
founder (need investment to bring on board)
- Lack of investment to fully dedicate development team to the project
Threats - Risk of slower Meteor adoption
(low, best technologies + the only framework backed by significant VC)
- Window of opportunity is NOW (competition may start to pop up soon)

Investment needs• Launch cloud-based service to start wide beta program
around Meteor 1.0 release timeframe (Fall of 2014)
• Fine-tune version 1 for public launch based on real world scenarios (currently, 100+ enterprise developers signed up and waiting for beta announcement)
• 24 months of development & support before operational profitability
• No marketing expenses (word of mouth works fine at this stage)
Thank you!
