OverviewGridRival is a first-to-market fantasy sports platform built by and for motorsports enthusiasts to address the unique attributes of auto racing.

ProductOur vision is to become “the home screen for race fans.” We look at GridRival as much more than a fantasy sports platform. Our mission to “make motorsports more engaging” has focused our efforts on three key attributes that seperate us from others in our space. These are:

Authentic – A focus on the unique attributes of a single sports vs a “one size fits” all experience. Football, Golf and Auto Racing are all very different and require unique user experiences to engage fans deeply in each category. Dream11 is a leading platform focused only on fantasy Cricket that has 45M users and were recently valued at over $600M.

Media Rich – Due to the engagement our platform will drive, it will become a secondary or even primary source for sports content such as news and journalism.

Community Driven – Community has always been at the heart of fantasy football’s long history. People want to engage with others like them, talk trash and have fun.

MarketOver 500,000,000 consumers around the globe tune into some form of auto racing every year. As a category, it generates $13b in revenue globally making it similar in size to the NFL. However, the most abundant and passionate motorsports fans live in parts of the world where fantasy sports are still emerging relative to the United States. This is why the timing is ripe for our product.

TractionTo test our product thesis, we built an MVP and launched it, focused only on Formula 1, 3 weeks before the season. We signed up 20,000 users in 5 days at an average CAC of just under $1. We saw an additional 10,000 users sign up organically or through referrals. There were over 1,500 user created leagues in over 50 countries and 80% of users using our application at the end of the season, came back the following season.

TeamRoss Fruin is our CEO and is a lifelong motorsports fanatic. His first company was a direct response marketing agency that he started in 2012. Because our go-to-market plan is focused exclusively on direct response marketing, his background and previous leadership experience will provide us a competitive advantage.

Colin Black is our CTO. He software architect whose worked with some of the largest brands in the world including Weiden+Kennedy, Nike, Philips and United Healthcare. He’s also helped launch a number of software startups in the Portland area.

Teague Oregman is an attorney with expertise in the fantasy sports space and is one of a handful of people in the US who have successfully gone through the process of being granting a license through the UK gaming commission which is a process we’ve just begun and expect to be completed this year.

Rob Ferriol is our lead investor. Rob is a former military officer and executive in the Aerospace industry but most importantly he is a professional race car driver in the Porsche GT3 Cup series. His GridRival Cup car (below) can be seen on NBC Sports starting in April and opening for the F1 Grand Prix of Canada in June.

Matchplay Footwear Innovations, Inc. DBA Jack Grace USA Bart Walker - 480.309.8896, [email protected]

5005 S. Ash Ave. #5 Tempe, AZ 85282 - www.jackgraceusa.com Matchplay Footwear Innovations, Inc. / Jack Grace (Golf Shoes)

Jack Grace makes the coolest golf shoes… ever. They let you change the color in seconds. With the patent-pending swappable saddle, a single shoe can match any look. They are comfortable, customizable, premium leather shoes.

Company Overview: From his kitchen table with dissected parts of other shoes, Bart Walker invented a way to change the look of a shoe in seconds in a completely inconspicuous way. This patent-pending technology is available now on Jack Grace golf shoes (named after his children). Bart further innovated a way to print any design or logo on the saddle, in-house, to create a simple, flexible, comfortable, custom golf shoe, With premium packaging & materials, comfort, design, performance and customized saddles, the shoes are a huge hit with golfers and continue to get 5 star reviews. Product/ Service Opportunity: The patent pending design allows users to swap saddles to change the look and color of their shoes in seconds. Using magnets and Velcro, the entire saddle portion of the shoe is interchangeable. The hidden channel technology allows the saddle to seem permanently attached the shoe. There are many advantages for consumers that choose our product over a competitor. Individual customers love the “cost per look” since you can purchase one pair of shoes and swap your saddles to match any outfit. For travelers, they no longer need to pack multiple shoes--just one Jack Grace pair and multiple saddles. We also see a value to the environment since many people throw their shoes away because the look has worn out before the shoe. Finally, because we can print anything on the saddle of the shoe, a Jack Grace shoe is a perfect promotional tool. Organizers of premium events are always looking for new and unique ways to gift something memorable, branded and unique to their guests. Marketing Opportunity : Footwear is a $83.7B market with a predicted 2.6% CAGR between now and 2021. Mass footwear customization market is estimated to exceed $2B in 2018. Jack Grace has three primary customers:

● The fashionable golfer who wants to match their shoes with the rest of their look- sold through direct social media, PR and online sales. This is the most expensive channel, but has the highest margin.

● The golf specialty retailer , either a “green grass” or golf-specific Independent retailer. We reach these retailers through sales representatives in strategic regions.

● Premium golf related events and promotions . Because we can print anything on the saddle of the shoe, a Jack Grace shoe is a perfect promotional tool. We reach these customers through our offline salesforce.

Shipping for the past 2 years, Jack Grace is now gaining the most traction with premium events and corporate gifting as a branded product, including a PGA Tour event and for the Arnold Palmer group. Beyond golf, Matchplay Footwear Innovations has a pipeline of products to reach multiple markets with mass customization—including casual shoes, athletic sandals, children’s footwear, and branded uniform shoes. Management Team: Matchplay Footwear includes key executives who have experience in a variety of relatable industries:

● Bart Walker is the founder and inventor. He has lifelong love of shoes and premium products. His previous experience was in commercial banking, but he has the heart of an entrepreneur and a passion for product development.

● Brad Smith is the COO and an early investor. His experience is in consumer products operations with companies like Skullcandy and RIVA Audio.

● Matt Jones is our head of business development, selling golf events with great success. ● Buff White is a 35 year golf industry veteran who is advising us on sales reps and retail strategy ● Darryl Baker is a former CFO of a public company and acting as our CFO adviser. ● Gerry Stewart is a retired VP at Honeywell, a board member and adviser on production

The World’s First Free Peer-to-Peer Marketplace!

RVeloCITY, Inc., dba RVnGO,

3295 N Drinkwater Boul., Suite 13, Scottsdale, AZ 85251

1-888-399-9505 [email protected] www.RVnGO.com

Overview. RVnGO is a free peer-to-peer marketplace for recreational vehicle rentals (RVs). We believe in making it fun and easy for people to share what they’re passionate about, and for people to find what they want. We put them together, get out of the way and let them feed their passion. Unlike other finder or listing sites, including those for RVs, we don’t charge a fee, getting soaked isn’t fun. We don’t stand in the way to extract a fee. We don’t want to center our business model on being a nuisance, instead we make money selling compelling value-added services, like insurance.

A Complete Business Solution. RVnGO is a complete solution for people who want to rent their RVs, whether they own one RV or a fleet. With RVnGO, they can list their RV online and they have all the tools to manage rentals, including taking and processing bookings, online checking in and out, and fleet management and customer relationship tools. To complete the solution, we have created and own our own insurance product which insures the rental. RV rental insurance is a must because regular car or RV insurance won’t cover a rental. Fleets have access to commercial policies, but they carry a heavy monthly premium whether they’re renting the RV or not. Individuals are locked out of the market without rental insurance. We went straight to wholesale underwriters and cut out some of the middlemen to create an insurance product that offers superior coverage for less than lesser products, and we have removed the monthly premium burden from hosts, the guest pays a daily insurance fee. This removes the largest expense and business risk for fleet operators, and makes the market accessible for individuals who want to rent their RV when they’re not using it.

Market. RVing is more popular than ever! Whether it’s wanting to unplug, or spend some quality time with family, and renting gives them an easy way to get into it without having to buy. The existing rental fleet is some 150,000 to 200,000 units strong doing $5 billion in transactions annually and is dominated by 3,000 independent fleet operators with 20-25 units each, but demand to rent RVs far outstrips supply. There is demand for 35 million rentals a year in the US, there are 10 million searches a month on Google alone to rent an RV, but as many as 6 of 7 transactions go unfulfilled. The problem is that demand is heavily seasonal with almost all rentals in the summer, but also ‘spikey’ around long weekends like July 4, and regional events like Burning Man or Country Thunder. With off-season carrying costs, the full-time fleet can’t scale to meet demand, but individuals who bought their RV for personal use are not held back and can enter the market to take up peak demand. A single Burning Man rental can pay for the RV’s for a year. RVnGO’s offering solves the biggest problem facing independent fleet operators, getting cut off from leads by aggregator sites that then charge large finder fees, and being saddles with monthly insurance premiums year-round. Plus, RVnGO lets individuals to easily enter the market and take up peak demand.

Team. The company was conceptualized and founded by Paul Kacir three years ago. Paul is leading the company as CEO and has a background in economics, business and law and was formerly general counsel for an S&P 500 company (NASDAQ:FSLR) and a TSX 300 company (Creo Inc.). He is joined by Steven Pena, chief technology officer, who has over 20 years of senior development experience, and Krishna Doddi, systems architect who notably was lead technical architect at American Express. The team is rounded out by marketing, sales, insurance and customer success leaders.

Company OverviewThe mission of TuneGO is to simplify the business of music. TuneGO was founded by seasoned technology entrepreneurs and further enhanced by successful music executives. Our goal is to solve problems that have plagued the music industry for decades, related to rights protection, global distribution and worldwide royalty collection. TuneGO works with the world’s largest music and entertainment companies to provide end-to-end content management and big data solutions that empower industry participants.

Problems We SolveMusic rights and royalties are extremely complex and confusing. The current industry model for tracking music copyrights and collecting royalties is antiquated and plagued with massive economic leakage. Billions of dollars in unpaid royalties are parked in the bank accounts of distributors and collection societies instead of the pockets of content owners. Collectively, billions of dollars in copyright lawsuits are filed annually. We simplify the process of securing music rights and collecting music revenue on a global scale.

Platform OverviewTuneGO’s patented technology platform creates a digital fingerprint on individual songs, starting at the origin of the musical idea, through the entire creative process to the completion of the sound recording. TuneGO’s unique and proprietary technology records the meta data required to secure music rights while adhering to industry-accepted distribution standards. TuneGO provides content creators and owners with a secure cloud-based infrastructure to store and manage content assets while ensuring trusted interaction with project collaborators. TuneGO’s streamlined distribution platform provides “one-click” global distribution to the world’s largest music stores, such as Spotify, Apple, Amazon and Tencent. TuneGO’s proprietary platform infrastructure provides content owners with an automated mechanism for worldwide royalty reporting and collection. TuneGO is a patented end-to-end sound recording management platform that simplifies and automates the business of music from rights protection to royalty collection.

Market Opportunity After nearly 20 years of declining revenue, the music industry is experiencing record growth thanks to a once-in-a-lifetime shift from physical media to digital distribution. This is known as the music industry’s digital revolution. Music industry revenues increased 8.1% in 2017 to $17.3 Billion. There are over 14 million content creators on digital platforms, who submit over 20,000 songs per day to digital download and streaming services. The market opportunity is tremendous. TuneGO solves decade-old problems that have plagued the music industry. TuneGO is positioned to become a foundational platform for today’s digital music marketplace.
