Build a technical social network of Internet professionalsThe Business
The Company is a leading provider of active markers in the Russian Internet with active statistics counters now installed on 150,000 Russian sites, which register 120 million site-page-visits per day from 10-12 million unique users.
There is now no integrated information resource (knowledge base, topical newsfeed, place for exchange of opinions) to receive information, consultation, and expert knowledge for the solution to an urgent professional web design task. This problem is especially acute for beginning specialists.
The Company is planning to build a central resource for Russian-language Internet specialists, a large and constantly expanding knowledge base for existing and new Internet technologies. The site would be a professional social network and function as a place for pros to socialize and exchange experience, evaluate and critique ideas, and search for partners for new projects.
Market
The target audience consists of beginning and experienced specialists whose professional activities involve sites and Internet services. Over 500,000 Russian-language sites and services are active at present. One or two people may work on an individual site, while a corporate site may have 3-5 employees attached to it (marketing expert, copywriter, PR manager, system administrator, content manager, layout editor). Consequently, the overall audience professionally involved with sites and Internet services is now over 1 million.
The Company is seeking funding to develop its Web Professional Network.
