We turn internet access into a powerful communication gateway;

for our clients and our advertisers

We deliver a cloud-based SaaS application that manages the

internet experience for hospitality businesses

Being the gatekeeper provides us with unique

advertising opportunities

Direct Connections

Local advertisers are able to reach a valuable market through our captive audience and obligate interaction that no other advertising medium can.

Ads are presented upon registration, pushed through a live chat feature, or programed for delivery as slide pages during subsequent logins, lightbox ads, or targeted email.

Cross promotional activities exploit our ability to control connectivity on-site at both accommodations and other service industry venues.

All of these can be targeted based on time at destination, time before or after departure, travel intentions, customer demographic, and/or browsing histories.

A multi-channel advertising engine for local businesses.

Trailblazer

We serve curated guides focusing on the immediate travel plans of users as identified during their registration process.

These guides include content from transit and accommodation companies, reaching guests during their decision making moment.

Feedback loops capture travelers' experience with our suggestions and we only place advertisements that meet measured approval standards.

Serve both travelers and advertisers through a timely display of sponsored content focusing on an upcoming link of their journey.

America

2 year outlook

A $750,000 cash injection through sale of equity will be used to add key positions to the product development and network management teams as well as accelerate our acquisition of

advertisers. We anticipate reaching our 2014 goals with a total monthly expenditure of $80,000.

Though we have only spoken of our existing product thus far, the long term value of the channel we establish far exceeds the initial product offering.

By the end of 2015 we hope to have partnered with 3,000 accommodation providers, giving us direct access to over 100,000 unique users per day. A detailed database of over 6.5million users

with unparalleled insights into their behavior and travel patterns.

I am very excited by the early success of our current product – but the real fun will begin after it has paved the way to this exciting stream of users.
