1.0 Executive Summary
MindBanking is a global business networking portal, offering services which empower
users to fully develop manage and build their projects. MindBanking is a one-stop-shop
which has a certain potential to become fully equipped and serviced global office.
MindBanking is a console for developing business.
The objective is to create vibrant an interactive online business platform, where biggest
and smallest entrepreneurs (and businesses) could meet, as well all other economy
forces such as innovators, experts, professionals etc.; providing a generator or incubator
of ideas, for new business opportunities that are about to lead to new businesses,
products and services.The goal is also to create such a powerful and vibrant
community, which would respectively compel investors to become active in searching
and "pulling" projects.
Mindbanking project belongs to the online business social networking online services.
Revenue models for this kind of services include subscription fees, advertising, service
sales (pay per piece and subscription), and respectively brokerage.
The main objective of MindBanking is to become an entrepreneurs' main working
platform; to become their office, business space and their home page; the first thing to
visit when they go online, as well as the last before going offline, as well as doing
business "on the go" via mobile; spending an average 4 hours per day using
MindBanking applications/platform.
Furthermore, MindBanking is not just a platform, or an application it is an entity, and it
is expected to spread through all the conceivable platforms (including virtual reality
worlds) and even different formats (e.g. mobile app or full scale games).
Furthermore socio-economic trends like hard labor as well as repetitive labor being
replaced with machines, technology and robotics, is shaping our social landscape; as well as
trends in economy such as domination of services economy and inauguration of post-
industry which puts the intellectual production, “virtual” goods and services at the pivotal place
in the economy, which is also an argument for the project MindBanking to succeed. For
example estimated worth of Facebook at the beginning of 2011 have been around 50 billion
USD; however the value is not estimated as the value of brick and mortar properties, but the
equity is measured by the value of its community, quality of its intellectual goods and
services, (and a basic social networking service is free!), and its impact and influence on the
social reality.
Main competitive edge is in its infrastructure of 'Liquid Environment' and a related syntax,
which makes anyone in a value chain (including consumer) able to assume any role in
production and distribution, with the possibility and an advantage to shift the role any time or all
the time, transforming the value chain into liquid system. Needless to say, the market becomes
immensely more complex and flexible or liquid, respectively deconstructing the historic thus
MindBanking
Page 2
retrograde processes. Competition becomes redundant since any content, production,
consumption and interaction becomes a market per se.

1.1 Objectives
The objective is to create vibrant an interactive online business
platform, where biggest and smallest entrepreneurs (and businesses)
could meet, as well all other economy forces such as innovators,
experts, professionals etc.; providing a generator or incubator of ideas,
for new business opportunities that are about to lead to new
businesses, products and services. The project has a strong market (or
attention) value since its target groups belong to both users/individuals as
well as businesses. MindBanking caters to all business interactions;
B2B, B2C, C2B, C2C and all other future ones. The future as we project it
is a convergence of ideas/innovations, projects, investments, development
in a flexible infrastructure, or even the liquid one.
Mindbanking would help generate profit by creating a community that would
among other things develop projects using unique working/development platform
(including the mobile one), furthermore by constantly upgrading services and by
building a community. Interaction (a network) of market sectors could create
exciting business scene.
The portal http://mindbanking.co was launched in February 2012. Development assume further
building of the infrastructure and the features (e.g. application for business plan creation), as
well as the stand alone mobile applications. MindBanking is not just a platform, or an application
it is an entity, and it is expected to spread through all the conceivable platforms (including
virtual reality worlds) and even different formats (e.g. mobile app or full scale games), as it is
expected to have serious impact on socio-economic reality and processes through its ultimate
goal(s): Brain Bank and Brain SE (Stock Exchange).

1.2 Mission
The system used in building infrastructure of the project is drawn from network
theory, system theory, liquid dynamics and the Attention Economy. The project
strives to comprise complex and dynamic infrastructure to be able to ensure
sustainability as well as constant progress and development thus constant growth of
revenue.
Business Console
The goal of MindBanking is to generate ultimate business console, which is to
become fully equipped office to be used equally by individuals, start-ups, SME and
big businesses. Spreading across numerous platforms and having complex yet
flexible infrastructure behind the projection is it will turn out to be unprecedented
business system which is capitalizing on every and each business interactions well as
foster any new interaction.
Liquid environment and a related syntax makes anyone in a value chain (including
consumer) able to assume any role in production and distribution, with the
possibility and an advantage to shift the role any time or all the time, transforming
the value chain into liquid system. Needless to say, the market becomes immensely
more complex and flexible or liquid, respectively deconstructing the historic thus
retrograde processes. Competition becomes redundant since any content,
production, consumption and interaction becomes a market per se.
Brain Bank
Mindbanking will provide environments for accumulating and harvesting intelligence or
brain power in order to create Brain Bank, which would constantly generate new
values to be exchanged thus breeding the system’s complexity to an unprecedented
level. Respectively we would be able to achieve acceleration of social and individual
development and achieve evolutionary quantum leap. Imagine WARP drive solved in a
week; intergalactic travel, no sweat, and furthermore enabling multiple existences,
parallel existences and plenty more.
The new infrastructure(s) ought to be complex, flexible, self-producing…, employing
the properties of most complex systems; a liquid dynamics, neural system or any
other; establishing the exchange of new values as a foundation to generate
idiosyncratic syntax and vice verse as a mutually self-building process that would
respectively facilitate absolute cognition and intelligence as a self actualizing entity.
Brain SE
The vision of Brain SE (Stock Exchange) presupposes inauguration of the mind as
MindBanking
Page 5
the ultimate value (to be exchanged or/and accumulated).
Brain SE could only be realized via actualization of its own intelligence. If we are
talking about self actualizing intelligence, the question is how such an entity could
come or came into being? The system surely has to be unstable and utterly complex
to begin with; however that doesn’t even begin to envision the problem, nor the
solution. In order to come to a point of emanation of the entity we are not only to
rule out production and even mutation as a manipulation, oppression and an
adaptation, we are to rule out dialectics and logic per se; what we have left is the
cognition of self and letting go of the causality, thus emanation of intelligence as an
entity is the same process as reaching absolute cognition.
So the question is not how to achieve, release or emanate self actualizing
intelligence or intelligence as an entity, since it already became; the question is how
to become cognizant of such an entity. The only way the universe became is by
being aware of self, at the beginning in its primordial form and afterward becoming
exceedingly more complex. If we would be able to tap into cosmic being, in which
intelligence already actualized as an entity we could be able to comprehend self
actualizing intelligence which is undividable either from the being of the universe
either from self actualization.

1.3 Keys to Success
Although global economy is a reality, only several business enclaves like New York, Dubai,
Silicon Valley, Hong Kong or similar could claim its business supremacy since they represent
centers or/and conglomerates of business activity. We could say that being in one place gives
them the strength or better said energy to progress and develop and to become economic
forerunner.
MindBanking prospers on that same premise. To put in the same space independent innovators,
SME, start-ups, global corporations, investors, thriving individuals with new ideas, entrepreneurs,
and such, and to deploy its multi-interaction could truly produce new marketplace as well as new
economies or new business idioms.
The project presupposes a vision of a new business scene and its infrastructure through the idea
– everyone is an entrepreneur. Numerous trends show that developing own business is the future
of economic scene, thus the project meets that basic need.
Almost every innovator claims the same – we do not know how to do the business!; MindBanking
is empowered to deal with the mentioned problem through offering online business plan
platform, production, workflow and project management tools, interaction tools and playful and
user-friendly business environment.
Furthermore, the main objective of MindBanking is to become an entrepreneurs' main working
platform; to become their office, business space and their home page; the first thing to visit
when they go online, as well as the last before going offline, of course along with doing
business "on the go" via mobile applications; spending an average 4 hours per day using
MindBanking applications/platform(s) as their ultimate business console.
The goal is also to create such a powerful and vibrant community, which would respectively
compel investors to become active in searching and "pulling" projects.
MindBanking thrives on the premise that everyone is a potential entrepreneur; if we
furthermore take into consideration digitally converged media environment that empowers
every user to create its own business opportunity, along with the idea that the online
infrastructure will prevail in the future of business operations, we could claim we hit the
target. So the strategy proposes for the MindBanking to become the platform for creating
endless number of (original) business communities and a vigorous and self-producing new
business scene.
Mindbanking is a vision of new economy which presupposes development of the new market
technology, which perpetuates network distribution, niche markets, dynamic-modular
production units, which would respectively replace mass production and liberalize working
processes.
The project anticipates or even brings about new paradigm shift at a production process at
large. Some of the trends are already taking place as a part of production process; such as, fluid
working hours and Sunday as a working day shows that our working week has been submitted to
significant changes. It is what theoretician Leadbeater in his Knowledge Economy calls “graying
the calendar” (Leadbeater, 2000). Furthermore, there is also a trend of working from locations
other than office, in small groups, using communication tools such as Skype, or mobile phone
applications; thus the conditions for the development of like economy has already been
sketched.
MindBanking
Page 7
Even some new trends in hardware technology are proving the way we communicate, work and
spend our daily lives is changing. For example tablet phenomenon (e.g. Apple iPad, Samsung
Galaxy etc.); book reading devices/tablets (e.g. Kindle). Mentioned trends show that
everything becomes “on the go”, even production.
Furthermore socio-economic trends like hard labor as well as repetitive labor being replaced
with machines, technology and robotics, is shaping our social landscape; as well as trends in
economy such as domination of services economy and inauguration of post-industry which puts
the intellectual production, “virtual” goods and services at the pivotal place in the economy.
For example estimated worth of Facebook at the beginning of 2011 have been around 50 billion
USD; however the value is not estimated as the value of brick and mortar properties, but the
equity is measured by the value of its community, quality of its intellectual goods and services,
(and a basic social networking service is free!), and its impact and influence on the social reality.

ecommerce. Of these three models, only advertising scales well enough to make social
networks interesting for portals and major media companies.

Social Networking Dominates Our Time Spent Online
Social networking now eats up twice as much of our online time as any other activity.
According to new stats from Nielsen, sites like Facebook and Twitter now account for
MindBanking
Page 17
22.7% of time spent on the web; the next closest activity is online games, which make
up 10.2%.
The stats also show the degree to which social networking is displacing other forms of
communication, with e-mail as a percentage of online time plunging from 11.5% to
8.3% from June 2009 to June 2010. Instant messaging also saw a significant drop in
share, with a 15% decline from last year.
However, e-mail use on mobile is still on the rise – from 37.4% to 41.6% — presumably
as users continue to migrate to smartphones from feature phones.

TREND 4: USAGE OF MOBILE(SMART) PHONES FOR NETWORKING
One Fourth Of Adults in the U.S. Use Mobile Apps
MASHABLE - Sep 14 - According to the Pew Internet Project, 82% of U.S. Adults are
active cellphone users, and 43% of those have downloaded apps to their phones. This
equates to 24% of the adults in the United States. Of these users, 13% have paid for at
least one of their apps. Not surprisingly, games are the most popular downloads. Also
of note, women favor social networking apps significantly more than men.

RECENT TRENDS AND STATISTICS

TREND: STARTUPS ARE BOOMING AND
MindBanking
Page 19
ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS SEXY
The startup world is bigger than San Francisco and New York. Don't
discount the middle of the country. Austin, New Orleans, Denver and even
Detroit all have burgeoning startup scenes. And the benefit of launching in
some of these lesser known entrepreneurship hubs? Startup costs are
generally cheaper and there's less competition.
Source: http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/230928
Advantage for MindBanking since one of the objectives for Mindbanking
is to become fully equipped business console and the entrepreneur’s hub.
Better entrepreneurs are arriving.
We see more than 300 early-stage companies and their corresponding
600-750 founders per year. On top of those direct TSF connections, we
have spoken to more than 2,500 participants in the startup ecosystem
in Charlotte, N.C., Chicago, Cleveland, Washington, D.C and New York
through seminars, conferences, meetups and one-on-one meetings. This
is exciting as it provides us an unbelievable vantage point. And, the
view gets better and better every day. I see more talent showing up
and making the leap.
Startup success is a team sport.
I believe that with every fiber in my body. The majority of success
stories have a common thread and that is the role that one or more
advisors played along the way. These advisors may have been an
investor or were operating their own company or simply serve the
advisor role in the community. With the sexy entrepreneurship quotient
rocketing, so have the number of advisors ready to help you grow your
company. Two lessons that possibly run counter to each other: Find an
advisor or two and really evaluate what these guys can do for you.

4.1 Market Segmentation
Target groups
Innovators/Entrepreneurs – is a main target group, which represents a
community using MindBanking platform in the first place to submit ideas and find
investors. However, the same group is also the main user of all services offered
on the MindBanking platform. They will try to find collaborators, will use the
working platform and will have a need to use business plan templates and legal
advices. More detailed segmentation: Entrepreneurs, SME-s, Inventors, Media
professionals, Artists, New media freaks, Media semi-professionals,
Independent scholars, Independent researchers, Universities, Grad Students, etc.
In the broad scope our main target group (communities) are early adopters/
trend setters/tech savvy users and independent innovators.
Collaborators/Experts – is a target group mainly seeking for interesting
projects to collaborate in, to get experience, and respectively would become
Innovators and create .
Investors/Corporations – are uising portal in order to find ideas, projects,
products, business solutions etc. Segmentation in this group could also be
detailed as: corporations, SME-s, individual investors, venture capital houses,
producers, publishers etc. Investors will also have to build their profile through
company logo, investment portfolio, project portfolio and such.
User Scenario
User 1 – innovator
Fruitful idea maker sits in front of the Facebook sending his friends chocolate, gummy
bears and smiles; throwing sheep and philosophers at his colleagues; waiting for
something exciting to appear on a horizon. He (let us say is a he) is inhibited to think
about piles of ideas stocked in his drawer, because every time he does, a rush of
frustration and disappointment overwhelms him. Suddenly information appears like an
epiphany, a thunderstruck. MindBanking.co – submit ideas, find collaborators,
develop projects, and find investors.
Just what I needed! I am going there right away!
After exploring possibilities MindBanking is offering, he starts to submit ideas. Oh, my
ideas seem to be even better than I thought, mumbles he, let us now find some
people who could be interested to work with me on my projects. Swiftly he became a
friend with a programmer from Indonesia and a developer from New York and they
MindBanking
Page 22
started to develop one of his projects.
Going deeper into the MindBanking portal he discovers he could do everything in one
place in order to develop his project: he can manage it through Workflow tools, develop it
through the Working platform, he finds a business plan development application
extremely useful, as well as a database of investors.
After a couple of months MindBanking becomes his global office, his conditio sine qua
non. Every day he wakes up and starts his working day at the MindBanking. He spends
the whole day managing his tasks, checking status of collaborators tasks, setting new
tasks, managing possible problems in a project development, communicating with
collaborators, finding investors or communicating with investors he had already make a
connection with, developing business plan(s) etc., in a nutshell, developing his
business. And suddenly like he never intended to, finds he had became an entrepreneur.
Even better, he realizes that around him grew a brand new, exciting and vibrant
business scene.
User 2 – investor
She is sitting with the head in her hands, under pressure to find new business ideas;
but where to find them? Desperate, she opens a www.ft.com. Yeah,like they are going
to offer fresh ideas on a silver platter, crosses her mind. She opens the www.ft.com
page and there it is, a banner: MindBanking.com, the source of business ideas! All of a
sudden the world seems completely different. She rushes to the MindBanking, and

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy
The project focuses on this target groups because they are main production force,
three pillars of any market; people with ideas, developers and investors (money force).
Communicating to them, bringing them together and engaging them in a production (even
of their own projects) could produce uncanny business scene, which of course
presupposes raising attention to high level consequently generating revenue through
conveyed business models. Detailed marketing strategy will be produced in a separate
document and outlined in the marketing plan of this document.

4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns
Broad market
Xing.com
Advantages for Mindbanking
Xing.com merely offers database of professionals, no other services; it takes a lot of
effort to utilize the service they offer.
Three moths premium membership plus a moth gratis costs 18 Euros, too expensive,
especially for young people struggling in a entrepreneurs world.
Threats
for Mindbanking
Xing.com already has 7 million users (2009).
LinkedIn.com
Advantages for MindBanking
Our research shows social (business) networking platforms do not offer added value
but merely profile upload and possibility to connect with friends and colleagues
respecitvely do not have much action going on and the portal quickly loses its attention,
its Premium Membership still does not offer much in utilizing business opportunities
especially for entrepreneurs beginners, which again does not solve problem(s) for the
user. Such is the case with LinkedIn. Our added value: MindBanking is a one-stop-
shop which has a certain potential to become fully equipped and serviced global office
nad a business console. MindBanking is a console for developing business.

Narrow market
Projects sharing the market with MindBanking; a niche market is yet to be created, and
KickStarter did a lot in creating the same market. Mindbanking has an advantage in the
context that Kickstarter does not allow investments, selling a share of the project etc.; it
is a crowdfunding and merchandising service, and it doesn't have project development
and management platform. Huddle has a collaboration platform, however they are
targeted at enterprizes solely.

5.2 Competitive Edge
Main social/business network web sites are LinkedIn, Xing, and of course Facebook,
absolute winner in number of registered users, impact and revenue.
Xing.com as a business (social) network was founded in 2003 had 5 million users in
2008, and an estimated revenue of €10.1 million in 2006; source Wikipedia.com, http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XING, April 2008. In 2009 number of users for Xing.com grew to
7.000.000, representing 40% growth.
LinkedIn.com, had an estimated 20 million users in 2008 and 43 million in 2009.
Facebook.com was founded in February 2004, had an estimated 69 million users in
January 2008 (source, Facebook, January 2008), and revenue of 150 million USD;
(source, Forbes, March 6, 2008.) In 2009, number of users grew to 250.000.000,
representing 262% growth. Potential for revenue growth from that position is huge.
Facebook ended 2008 making between $280 million and $300 million, according to
many reports. The company’s revenues likely reached between $600 million and $700
million for 2009. Sources estimate the company could make between $1 billion and
$1.1 billion in total revenue this year. (source: Inside Facebook; www.insidefacebook.
com/2010/03/02/facebook-made-up-to-700-million-in-2009-on-track-towards-1-1-billion-
in-2010/, 2010). Facebook went IPO in 2012; however it didn't produce much result.
"Just three months after Facebook's IPO, its stock price had dropped by more than 50
percent, falling from $38 a share to $17.73."; (source: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/
the-10-worst-ipos-of-2012/). The conclusion is that Facebook is not a project with a
vision and a long term development plan, as well its estimated price was too high, or
inflated.
Our position in the business social networking market would be significant since we
would be offering a unique online working and developing platform. In a nutshell, our
competitive advantage is to be the first in a global market offering services to help
develop and deploy projects online. Furthermore, if we compare ourselves with other
social networking portals, even the business ones, like LinkedIn.com and Xing.com, we
believe that our portal will have much higher business utilization than any of them.
Furthermore, our competitive edge and our biggest strength is in the vision of the project.
The vision where almost every business could be conducted, every product produced, as
the almighty business, development and production console, which would be more and
more possible by the further development and implementation of the Cloud technology.
Futhermore the vision of Brain SE (Stock Exchange) is our biggest competitive edge and
a zing!

5.3 Marketing Strategy
Marketing strategy lies on using exact or narrow marketing channel for
each target group (community). For Inventors, our most important
target group, we intend to use mainly Facebook social ads and
respectively Google Adwords. We can position our key target group as
spending a lot of their time on Facebook, since it is a rather creative portal
in entertainment kind of way, and bypassing business social networking
portals since they do not offer much and require much effort for
business utilization. The plan is to draw their attention from Facebook and
channel their energy and ideas towards production and
entrepreneurship. Furthermore, for that target group we wouldn't use
online banners as a mean of communication, but more involving Social
ads (social groups, fan clubs, applications, etc.)
Target group Investors also require special attention. The strategy is to
reach them at FT.com and the Time Magazine online or New York times.
Target group Collaborators will be reached through banners and WOM on
the LinkedIn.com, and other social (and business) networking portals.
Launch campaign will consist of two phases:
Phase 1 (Beta testing period)
Since we will have 45 days of Beta testing period the strategy is for that
period to deploy Facebook social ads, Google Adwords, WOM, guerilla
marketing (blogs, forums, chats, PR…) which will serve for all three
target groups. In this kind of communication methods possibly the least
covered are Investors.
Phase 2 (100% ready)
Banners on Facebook.com, LinkedIn.com, FT.com, Time Magazine online
or New York times online; 100.000 impressions.
1.0. Beta testing campaign
1.1. Social campaign and applications - 10.000 Euro
MindBanking
Page 31
1.2. Google Adwords - around 20 key words for 1 month - 1.000 Euro
1.3 Direct Ads, targeted on communities - 10.000 Euro
1.4 Guerilla marketing & WOM daily for a month on blogs, forums etc. -
1.000 Euro
2.0 100 % ready campaign
Strategy is to keep running social networking campaign and Google
Adwords all the time. Furthermore, to put banners on business and
news portals with around 100.000 impressions, one by one.
2.1 NYTimes.com - around 100.000 impressions - 11.000 USD
2.2 FT.com - 468x60 banner, contextual targeting (business) plus
geographical, Cost per Thousand Impressions (CPM) = 55, 00 GBP.
Plan: 100.000 impressions = 5.500,00 GBP = 11.000,00 USD.
2.3. Facebook.com - at least 100.000 impressions
2.4. LinkedIn.com - at least 100.000 impressions
More detailed marketing strategy will be developed before it would be
launched.
MindBanking
Page 32
5.4 Sales Strategy
The main business model is a subscription fee and pay per piece (as far as mobile
applications are concerned). We believe that as soon as we get critical mass of
audience and the activity (serious projects), as well as we develop the platform into a real
business console, there wouldn't be a problem to get subscription fees from the users,
especially if we bring serious investors and become a nursery of important projects.
Furthermore, selling advertising space is always a viable business model. We also
believe we could apply service of brokerage.
At the end MindBanking is hoping that through its development that numerous new
revenue and business models would be generated and deployed.
MindBanking
Page 33
Additional storage of 3 GB will be charged 5 USD per month and offered as a 3/6/12
months package.
MindBanking
Page 34
Subscription will be available as a 3/6/12 months packages:
As for the advertising, the equation is simple; greater the number of user (eye-
balls), more advertising space is sold. Great advantage with internet advertising is
that we are not only able to count every single user, we also know their names,
preferences and interests, so we could adapt our business and tech/development
strategy accordingly.
Mobile Applications - some would be free and some would be sold per piece.
MindBanking
Page 35
5.4.1 Sales Forecast
We predicted that by the end of the first year we will have 64.000 active users, which
of 50.000 would spend for our subscription about 50 USD per year, we could have
revenue of 2.500.000 USD. We assume our users will be willing to pay 50 USD per year.
The price definitely represents value for money, since some other social networking
portals charge much more for less utilization.
Advertising revenues are more of a educated guess and could only be higher since
globally revenues from online advertising are growing every year.
In 2012 21% of global ad spending will happen online
Interactive advertising revenues will increase significantly from $45 bln in 2007 to $147
bln globally in 2012, representing a 23.4%, according to Kelsey Group. Interactive
advertising, which comprises search (including local search), display advertising,
classifieds and other interactive ad products, grew its share of global advertising
revenues from 6.1% in 2006 to 7.4% in 2007. By 2012 Kelsey Group analysts expect the
interactive share of global ad spending will reach 21%. During the forecast period
(2007-2012), the United States will see interactive advertising revenues grow from
$22.5 billion to $62.4 bln (22.6% CAGR), with interactive revenues in Canada
increasing from $1.3 bln to $3.3 billion (21.3% CAGR).

  • 4. MindBanking Page 1 1.0 Executive Summary MindBanking is a global business networking portal, offering services which empower users to fully develop manage and build their projects. MindBanking is a one-stop-shop which has a certain potential to become fully equipped and serviced global office. MindBanking is a console for developing business. The objective is to create vibrant an interactive online business platform, where biggest and smallest entrepreneurs (and businesses) could meet, as well all other economy forces such as innovators, experts, professionals etc.; providing a generator or incubator of ideas, for new business opportunities that are about to lead to new businesses, products and services.The goal is also to create such a powerful and vibrant community, which would respectively compel investors to become active in searching and "pulling" projects. Mindbanking project belongs to the online business social networking online services. Revenue models for this kind of services include subscription fees, advertising, service sales (pay per piece and subscription), and respectively brokerage. The main objective of MindBanking is to become an entrepreneurs' main working platform; to become their office, business space and their home page; the first thing to visit when they go online, as well as the last before going offline, as well as doing business "on the go" via mobile; spending an average 4 hours per day using MindBanking applications/platform. Furthermore, MindBanking is not just a platform, or an application it is an entity, and it is expected to spread through all the conceivable platforms (including virtual reality worlds) and even different formats (e.g. mobile app or full scale games). Furthermore socio-economic trends like hard labor as well as repetitive labor being replaced with machines, technology and robotics, is shaping our social landscape; as well as trends in economy such as domination of services economy and inauguration of post- industry which puts the intellectual production, “virtual” goods and services at the pivotal place in the economy, which is also an argument for the project MindBanking to succeed. For example estimated worth of Facebook at the beginning of 2011 have been around 50 billion USD; however the value is not estimated as the value of brick and mortar properties, but the equity is measured by the value of its community, quality of its intellectual goods and services, (and a basic social networking service is free!), and its impact and influence on the social reality. Main competitive edge is in its infrastructure of 'Liquid Environment' and a related syntax, which makes anyone in a value chain (including consumer) able to assume any role in production and distribution, with the possibility and an advantage to shift the role any time or all the time, transforming the value chain into liquid system. Needless to say, the market becomes immensely more complex and flexible or liquid, respectively deconstructing the historic thus
  • 5. MindBanking Page 2 retrograde processes. Competition becomes redundant since any content, production, consumption and interaction becomes a market per se.
  • 6. MindBanking Page 3 1.1 Objectives The objective is to create vibrant an interactive online business platform, where biggest and smallest entrepreneurs (and businesses) could meet, as well all other economy forces such as innovators, experts, professionals etc.; providing a generator or incubator of ideas, for new business opportunities that are about to lead to new businesses, products and services. The project has a strong market (or attention) value since its target groups belong to both users/individuals as well as businesses. MindBanking caters to all business interactions; B2B, B2C, C2B, C2C and all other future ones. The future as we project it is a convergence of ideas/innovations, projects, investments, development in a flexible infrastructure, or even the liquid one. Mindbanking would help generate profit by creating a community that would among other things develop projects using unique working/development platform (including the mobile one), furthermore by constantly upgrading services and by building a community. Interaction (a network) of market sectors could create exciting business scene. The portal http://mindbanking.co was launched in February 2012. Development assume further building of the infrastructure and the features (e.g. application for business plan creation), as well as the stand alone mobile applications. MindBanking is not just a platform, or an application it is an entity, and it is expected to spread through all the conceivable platforms (including virtual reality worlds) and even different formats (e.g. mobile app or full scale games), as it is expected to have serious impact on socio-economic reality and processes through its ultimate goal(s): Brain Bank and Brain SE (Stock Exchange).
  • 7. MindBanking Page 4 1.2 Mission The system used in building infrastructure of the project is drawn from network theory, system theory, liquid dynamics and the Attention Economy. The project strives to comprise complex and dynamic infrastructure to be able to ensure sustainability as well as constant progress and development thus constant growth of revenue. Business Console The goal of MindBanking is to generate ultimate business console, which is to become fully equipped office to be used equally by individuals, start-ups, SME and big businesses. Spreading across numerous platforms and having complex yet flexible infrastructure behind the projection is it will turn out to be unprecedented business system which is capitalizing on every and each business interactions well as foster any new interaction. Liquid environment and a related syntax makes anyone in a value chain (including consumer) able to assume any role in production and distribution, with the possibility and an advantage to shift the role any time or all the time, transforming the value chain into liquid system. Needless to say, the market becomes immensely more complex and flexible or liquid, respectively deconstructing the historic thus retrograde processes. Competition becomes redundant since any content, production, consumption and interaction becomes a market per se. Brain Bank Mindbanking will provide environments for accumulating and harvesting intelligence or brain power in order to create Brain Bank, which would constantly generate new values to be exchanged thus breeding the system’s complexity to an unprecedented level. Respectively we would be able to achieve acceleration of social and individual development and achieve evolutionary quantum leap. Imagine WARP drive solved in a week; intergalactic travel, no sweat, and furthermore enabling multiple existences, parallel existences and plenty more. The new infrastructure(s) ought to be complex, flexible, self-producing…, employing the properties of most complex systems; a liquid dynamics, neural system or any other; establishing the exchange of new values as a foundation to generate idiosyncratic syntax and vice verse as a mutually self-building process that would respectively facilitate absolute cognition and intelligence as a self actualizing entity. Brain SE The vision of Brain SE (Stock Exchange) presupposes inauguration of the mind as
  • 8. MindBanking Page 5 the ultimate value (to be exchanged or/and accumulated). Brain SE could only be realized via actualization of its own intelligence. If we are talking about self actualizing intelligence, the question is how such an entity could come or came into being? The system surely has to be unstable and utterly complex to begin with; however that doesn’t even begin to envision the problem, nor the solution. In order to come to a point of emanation of the entity we are not only to rule out production and even mutation as a manipulation, oppression and an adaptation, we are to rule out dialectics and logic per se; what we have left is the cognition of self and letting go of the causality, thus emanation of intelligence as an entity is the same process as reaching absolute cognition. So the question is not how to achieve, release or emanate self actualizing intelligence or intelligence as an entity, since it already became; the question is how to become cognizant of such an entity. The only way the universe became is by being aware of self, at the beginning in its primordial form and afterward becoming exceedingly more complex. If we would be able to tap into cosmic being, in which intelligence already actualized as an entity we could be able to comprehend self actualizing intelligence which is undividable either from the being of the universe either from self actualization.
  • 9. MindBanking Page 6 1.3 Keys to Success Although global economy is a reality, only several business enclaves like New York, Dubai, Silicon Valley, Hong Kong or similar could claim its business supremacy since they represent centers or/and conglomerates of business activity. We could say that being in one place gives them the strength or better said energy to progress and develop and to become economic forerunner. MindBanking prospers on that same premise. To put in the same space independent innovators, SME, start-ups, global corporations, investors, thriving individuals with new ideas, entrepreneurs, and such, and to deploy its multi-interaction could truly produce new marketplace as well as new economies or new business idioms. The project presupposes a vision of a new business scene and its infrastructure through the idea – everyone is an entrepreneur. Numerous trends show that developing own business is the future of economic scene, thus the project meets that basic need. Almost every innovator claims the same – we do not know how to do the business!; MindBanking is empowered to deal with the mentioned problem through offering online business plan platform, production, workflow and project management tools, interaction tools and playful and user-friendly business environment. Furthermore, the main objective of MindBanking is to become an entrepreneurs' main working platform; to become their office, business space and their home page; the first thing to visit when they go online, as well as the last before going offline, of course along with doing business "on the go" via mobile applications; spending an average 4 hours per day using MindBanking applications/platform(s) as their ultimate business console. The goal is also to create such a powerful and vibrant community, which would respectively compel investors to become active in searching and "pulling" projects. MindBanking thrives on the premise that everyone is a potential entrepreneur; if we furthermore take into consideration digitally converged media environment that empowers every user to create its own business opportunity, along with the idea that the online infrastructure will prevail in the future of business operations, we could claim we hit the target. So the strategy proposes for the MindBanking to become the platform for creating endless number of (original) business communities and a vigorous and self-producing new business scene. Mindbanking is a vision of new economy which presupposes development of the new market technology, which perpetuates network distribution, niche markets, dynamic-modular production units, which would respectively replace mass production and liberalize working processes. The project anticipates or even brings about new paradigm shift at a production process at large. Some of the trends are already taking place as a part of production process; such as, fluid working hours and Sunday as a working day shows that our working week has been submitted to significant changes. It is what theoretician Leadbeater in his Knowledge Economy calls “graying the calendar” (Leadbeater, 2000). Furthermore, there is also a trend of working from locations other than office, in small groups, using communication tools such as Skype, or mobile phone applications; thus the conditions for the development of like economy has already been sketched.
  • 10. MindBanking Page 7 Even some new trends in hardware technology are proving the way we communicate, work and spend our daily lives is changing. For example tablet phenomenon (e.g. Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy etc.); book reading devices/tablets (e.g. Kindle). Mentioned trends show that everything becomes “on the go”, even production. Furthermore socio-economic trends like hard labor as well as repetitive labor being replaced with machines, technology and robotics, is shaping our social landscape; as well as trends in economy such as domination of services economy and inauguration of post-industry which puts the intellectual production, “virtual” goods and services at the pivotal place in the economy. For example estimated worth of Facebook at the beginning of 2011 have been around 50 billion USD; however the value is not estimated as the value of brick and mortar properties, but the equity is measured by the value of its community, quality of its intellectual goods and services, (and a basic social networking service is free!), and its impact and influence on the social reality. 2.0 Company Summary Ana Soric is the bearer of the project MindBanking, also, a founder, owner and a CEO of Jedna od tri d.o.o. / One of Three LLC; company responsible to carry out MindBanking project.

Instant messaging also saw a significant drop in share, with a 15% decline from last year.

Austin, New Orleans, Denver and even Detroit all have burgeoning startup scenes. And the benefit of launching in some of these lesser known entrepreneurship hubs? Startup costs are generally cheaper and there's less competition. Source: http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/230928 Advantage for MindBanking since one of the objectives for Mindbanking is to become fully equipped business console and the entrepreneur’s hub. Better entrepreneurs are arriving. We see more than 300 early-stage companies and their corresponding 600-750 founders per year. On top of those direct TSF connections, we have spoken to more than 2,500 participants in the startup ecosystem in Charlotte, N.C., Chicago, Cleveland, Washington, D.C and New York through seminars, conferences, meetups and one-on-one meetings. This is exciting as it provides us an unbelievable vantage point. And, the view gets better and better every day. I see more talent showing up and making the leap. Startup success is a team sport. I believe that with every fiber in my body. The majority of success stories have a common thread and that is the role that one or more advisors played along the way. These advisors may have been an investor or were operating their own company or simply serve the advisor role in the community. With the sexy entrepreneurship quotient rocketing, so have the number of advisors ready to help you grow your company. Two lessons that possibly run counter to each other: Find an advisor or two and really evaluate what these guys can do for you.

MindBanking Page 21 4.1 Market Segmentation Target groups Innovators/Entrepreneurs – is a main target group, which represents a community using MindBanking platform in the first place to submit ideas and find investors. However, the same group is also the main user of all services offered on the MindBanking platform. They will try to find collaborators, will use the working platform and will have a need to use business plan templates and legal advices. More detailed segmentation: Entrepreneurs, SME-s, Inventors, Media professionals, Artists, New media freaks, Media semi-professionals, Independent scholars, Independent researchers, Universities, Grad Students, etc. In the broad scope our main target group (communities) are early adopters/ trend setters/tech savvy users and independent innovators. Collaborators/Experts – is a target group mainly seeking for interesting projects to collaborate in, to get experience, and respectively would become Innovators and create . Investors/Corporations – are uising portal in order to find ideas, projects, products, business solutions etc. Segmentation in this group could also be detailed as: corporations, SME-s, individual investors, venture capital houses, producers, publishers etc. Investors will also have to build their profile through company logo, investment portfolio, project portfolio and such. User Scenario User 1 – innovator Fruitful idea maker sits in front of the Facebook sending his friends chocolate, gummy bears and smiles; throwing sheep and philosophers at his colleagues; waiting for something exciting to appear on a horizon. He (let us say is a he) is inhibited to think about piles of ideas stocked in his drawer, because every time he does, a rush of frustration and disappointment overwhelms him. Suddenly information appears like an epiphany, a thunderstruck. MindBanking.co – submit ideas, find collaborators, develop projects, and find investors. Just what I needed!

Going deeper into the MindBanking portal he discovers he could do everything in one place in order to develop his project: he can manage it through Workflow tools, develop it through the Working platform, he finds a business plan development application extremely useful, as well as a database of investors. After a couple of months MindBanking becomes his global office, his conditio sine qua non. Every day he wakes up and starts his working day at the MindBanking.

  • 28. MindBanking Page 25 4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns Broad market Xing.com Advantages for Mindbanking Xing.com merely offers database of professionals, no other services; it takes a lot of effort to utilize the service they offer. Three moths premium membership plus a moth gratis costs 18 Euros, too expensive, especially for young people struggling in a entrepreneurs world. Threats for Mindbanking Xing.com already has 7 million users (2009). LinkedIn.com Advantages for MindBanking Our research shows social (business) networking platforms do not offer added value but merely profile upload and possibility to connect with friends and colleagues respecitvely do not have much action going on and the portal quickly loses its attention, its Premium Membership still does not offer much in utilizing business opportunities especially for entrepreneurs beginners, which again does not solve problem(s) for the user. Such is the case with LinkedIn. Our added value: MindBanking is a one-stop- shop which has a certain potential to become fully equipped and serviced global office nad a business console. MindBanking is a console for developing business.

  • 32. MindBanking Page 29 5.2 Competitive Edge Main social/business network web sites are LinkedIn, Xing, and of course Facebook, absolute winner in number of registered users, impact and revenue. Xing.com as a business (social) network was founded in 2003 had 5 million users in 2008, and an estimated revenue of €10.1 million in 2006; source Wikipedia.com, http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XING, April 2008. In 2009 number of users for Xing.com grew to 7.000.000, representing 40% growth. LinkedIn.com, had an estimated 20 million users in 2008 and 43 million in 2009. Facebook.com was founded in February 2004, had an estimated 69 million users in January 2008 (source, Facebook, January 2008), and revenue of 150 million USD; (source, Forbes, March 6, 2008.) In 2009, number of users grew to 250.000.000, representing 262% growth. Potential for revenue growth from that position is huge. Facebook ended 2008 making between $280 million and $300 million, according to many reports. The company’s revenues likely reached between $600 million and $700 million for 2009. Sources estimate the company could make between $1 billion and $1.1 billion in total revenue this year. (source: Inside Facebook; www.insidefacebook. com/2010/03/02/facebook-made-up-to-700-million-in-2009-on-track-towards-1-1-billion- in-2010/, 2010). Facebook went IPO in 2012; however it didn't produce much result. "Just three months after Facebook's IPO, its stock price had dropped by more than 50 percent, falling from $38 a share to $17.73."; (source: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ the-10-worst-ipos-of-2012/). The conclusion is that Facebook is not a project with a vision and a long term development plan, as well its estimated price was too high, or inflated. Our position in the business social networking market would be significant since we would be offering a unique online working and developing platform. In a nutshell, our competitive advantage is to be the first in a global market offering services to help develop and deploy projects online. Furthermore, if we compare ourselves with other social networking portals, even the business ones, like LinkedIn.com and Xing.com, we believe that our portal will have much higher business utilization than any of them. Furthermore, our competitive edge and our biggest strength is in the vision of the project. The vision where almost every business could be conducted, every product produced, as the almighty business, development and production console, which would be more and more possible by the further development and implementation of the Cloud technology. Futhermore the vision of Brain SE (Stock Exchange) is our biggest competitive edge and a zing!
  • 33. MindBanking Page 30 5.3 Marketing Strategy Marketing strategy lies on using exact or narrow marketing channel for each target group (community). For Inventors, our most important target group, we intend to use mainly Facebook social ads and respectively Google Adwords. We can position our key target group as spending a lot of their time on Facebook, since it is a rather creative portal in entertainment kind of way, and bypassing business social networking portals since they do not offer much and require much effort for business utilization. The plan is to draw their attention from Facebook and channel their energy and ideas towards production and entrepreneurship. Furthermore, for that target group we wouldn't use online banners as a mean of communication, but more involving Social ads (social groups, fan clubs, applications, etc.) Target group Investors also require special attention. The strategy is to reach them at FT.com and the Time Magazine online or New York times. Target group Collaborators will be reached through banners and WOM on the LinkedIn.com, and other social (and business) networking portals. Launch campaign will consist of two phases: Phase 1 (Beta testing period) Since we will have 45 days of Beta testing period the strategy is for that period to deploy Facebook social ads, Google Adwords, WOM, guerilla marketing (blogs, forums, chats, PR…) which will serve for all three target groups. In this kind of communication methods possibly the least covered are Investors. Phase 2 (100% ready) Banners on Facebook.com, LinkedIn.com, FT.com, Time Magazine online or New York times online; 100.000 impressions. 1.0. Beta testing campaign 1.1. Social campaign and applications - 10.000 Euro

Google Adwords - around 20 key words for 1 month - 1.000 Euro 1.3 Direct Ads, targeted on communities - 10.000 Euro 1.4 Guerilla marketing & WOM daily for a month on blogs, forums etc. - 1.000 Euro 2.0 100 % ready campaign Strategy is to keep running social networking campaign and Google Adwords all the time. Furthermore, to put banners on business and news portals with around 100.000 impressions, one by one. 2.1 NYTimes.com - around 100.000 impressions - 11.000 USD 2.2 FT.com - 468x60 banner, contextual targeting (business) plus geographical, Cost per Thousand Impressions (CPM) = 55, 00 GBP. Plan: 100.000 impressions = 5.500,00 GBP = 11.000,00 USD. 2.3. Facebook.com - at least 100.000 impressions 2.4. LinkedIn.com - at least 100.000 impressions More detailed marketing strategy will be developed before it would be launched.
  • 35. MindBanking Page 32 5.4 Sales Strategy The main business model is a subscription fee and pay per piece (as far as mobile applications are concerned). We believe that as soon as we get critical mass of audience and the activity (serious projects), as well as we develop the platform into a real business console, there wouldn't be a problem to get subscription fees from the users, especially if we bring serious investors and become a nursery of important projects. Furthermore, selling advertising space is always a viable business model. We also believe we could apply service of brokerage. At the end MindBanking is hoping that through its development that numerous new revenue and business models would be generated and deployed.
  • 36. MindBanking Page 33 Additional storage of 3 GB will be charged 5 USD per month and offered as a 3/6/12 months package.
  • 37. MindBanking Page 34 Subscription will be available as a 3/6/12 months packages: As for the advertising, the equation is simple; greater the number of user (eye- balls), more advertising space is sold. Great advantage with internet advertising is that we are not only able to count every single user, we also know their names, preferences and interests, so we could adapt our business and tech/development strategy accordingly. Mobile Applications - some would be free and some would be sold per piece.
  • 38. MindBanking Page 35 5.4.1 Sales Forecast We predicted that by the end of the first year we will have 64.000 active users, which of 50.000 would spend for our subscription about 50 USD per year, we could have revenue of 2.500.000 USD. We assume our users will be willing to pay 50 USD per year. The price definitely represents value for money, since some other social networking portals charge much more for less utilization. Advertising revenues are more of a educated guess and could only be higher since globally revenues from online advertising are growing every year. In 2012 21% of global ad spending will happen online Interactive advertising revenues will increase significantly from $45 bln in 2007 to $147 bln globally in 2012, representing a 23.4%, according to Kelsey Group. Interactive advertising, which comprises search (including local search), display advertising, classifieds and other interactive ad products, grew its share of global advertising revenues from 6.1% in 2006 to 7.4% in 2007. By 2012 Kelsey Group analysts expect the interactive share of global ad spending will reach 21%. During the forecast period (2007-2012), the United States will see interactive advertising revenues grow from $22.5 billion to $62.4 bln (22.6% CAGR), with interactive revenues in Canada increasing from $1.3 bln to $3.3 billion (21.3% CAGR).
