PROBLEM

Digital marketing is only a few steps above cold calling and emailing. While
there is data available to help personalize ads and improve targeting, most
companies don’t have access to that data. If they do, they often lack the people
power to leverage it: 57% of marketers incorrectly interpret their data,
potentially costing their companies significant amounts of money (Wharton).

The only available marketing tools left are the largest and most successful
social media and ecommerce companies. In fact, 1 in 3 marketers say their
campaigns are too dependent on Facebook, Google, and Amazon (Criteo). With the
future of big tech uncertain, marketers need a better, more efficient and highly
personalized alternative.

“37% of senior marketing leaders consider the amount of time spent manually
pulling and preparing data to be a hindrance to team success.”
- Gartner


SOLUTION

HiveSkill brings you people and data from our Hive, but most importantly, it
brings you customers. Our product is an AI-powered database and CRM hybrid that
uses data and emotionally intelligent AI to boost direct one-to-one marketing
efforts. We also provide specialized experts who know how to leverage your
company’s data.

We’re building trust by removing the “guessing game” from marketing as a whole.
When you use Google Ads or Facebook Ads, you’re targeting cold audiences who
haven’t interacted with your company prior to you trying to sell them something.
There’s no trust or value there, for anyone.

We’re bypassing this by crafting a new form of marketing - a highly customized
and highly targeted campaign thanks to the trust and the data we’ve already
built. Our emotional AI delivers “feel-alike” audiences so you’ll know how your
prospect or customer feels prior to marketing/sales. Through HiveSkill, you tell
your company’s story to the people who need to hear it.


HOW IT WORKS

HiveSkill uses proprietary emotionally-intelligent AI to market your company to
the people most likely to open your emails, purchase your products, or invest in
your company. Our Hive, a CRM-connected database, has several tools companies
can use to boost their marketing:

 * An extensive contact database, with millions of data points
 * Automated outreach to potential high-value contacts
 * Emotionally intelligent AI capable of processing feedback from contacts
 * Smart, personalized email campaign delivery to warm, responsive contacts
 * Added value through high-quality crafted content sent to a targeted audience

Through our intensive AI-powered audience profiling, which sorts contacts into
“buckets” of interest, HiveSkill delivers personalized emails to a warm
audience.

Currently, our database has been built out through wide-ranging entrepreneurial
networks and a partnership with Crunchbase. When companies partner with
HiveSkill, they share their contact list with us as well, creating a positive
feedback loop of data.

Our hive has grown into a powerful engine with millions of clean contacts,
profiled and sorted via significant data.


MARKET

AI’s impact has drastically changed how marketing works. The market for
marketing software alone is valued at $49.4Bn, and is expected to grow at a
17.4% CAGR, according to Grandview Research. The estimated global market for
general marketing technology (Martech) is $121.5Bn. In the past two years, the
market doubled in North America and the U.K., showing a rapidly growing demand
for marketing tech, according to BDO. Similarly, the Global Emotional
Intelligence Software market is growing at a CAGR of 24.9% and expected to hit
$64B by 2027.


BUSINESS MODEL

HiveSkill is a B2B company. How we generate revenue depends on our clients’
revenue model:

 * For clients looking for leads (potential customers), we charge per lead.
 * For subscription-based clients, we take a percentage of each new subscription
   on an ongoing basis.
 * For Direct-to-Consumer clients, we take a percentage from each transaction
   facilitated by our tool.
 * For Clients looking to clean data, we charge by list size. We also offer the
   option of matching your data with our Emotional AI learnings and adding data
   from our own Hive.
 * For Clients looking for CRM Consulting, we charge per project.

For companies that prefer to execute their own marketing campaigns separately
from HiveSkill, we charge them for access to our data through a platform fee.


COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

 * Millions of clean data contacts
 * Experienced leadership team in sales, marketing, and AI
 * Highly-segmented, expansive contact database
 * Product offers both data and data specialists
 * Easy-to-use campaign-builder and simple ROAS (return on ad spend) dashboard
   in development
 * Unique Emotional AI learnings


SUCCESS TO DATE

 * Platform MVP developed
 * Numerous clients onboarded
 * Data collected on millions of users
 * Automated outreach built out
 * Inbound message logging and identification capabilities created
