Establish a service that would serve a large and rapidly growing market
The Business

The Company currently 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.

The Company is planning to establish a technical center for thousands of websites, similar to a service center for cars.

The business problem that the Company is addressing is the absence in the market of an integrated service company to take on the solution of the primary tasks for site support. The minimum standard set might include domain name registration, hosting, CMS, content support, advertising and promotion, technology updates and development, and system for working with site visitors.

Market

The target audience consists of corporate websites for small and mid-sized companies, as well as individual sites. There are approximately 500,000 Russian-language sites and services. In monetary terms, the market is worth a total of $100-130 million and has annual growth is 70%.

The Company knows from its own experience with integrated site and service support for large companies that any website problem is a very serious problem for the customer, and can cost much more than all of the expenses for site support. A website that is down or unavailable, or with information that is incorrect or out of date, can cause losses for the company?s main business. These issues will only increase as the Internet finds an ever-larger user audience.

The Company is seeking venture capital to support the development of this project.
