Re: [ANN][ICO] FACETER – computer vision surveillance technology
I would like to ask you about post ICO if I may, I have whitelisted pending pre sale.
Firstly, your product and presentation is very slick, well done. I watched it when you had zero reviews on ICO bench and even then told some people, faceter has the 'potential' to be absolutely massive. I haven't had the same gut feeling since I saw substratum. Not just another theoretical, tech pipe dream that exists on paper, this is totally real world with mass market capability. I absolutely see the multiple application ability and real world possibility, the product certainly seems genius in a burgeoning and ever growing sector, and if implementation is at an affordable price point for mass usage, you've got half way there.
You're passion is obvious as is Vladimir's amazing technical skills, but that's still not enough to succeed as a business.
Some of the world's best ever inventions failed, not because they weren't good, but simply through lack of exposure or effective sales and marketing strategy.
I have been the CEO of an airline training and recruitment firm, and come from a sales/marketing background. You're current retail contracts in South Africa are a good start, but what is your actual plan to get this into the global marketplace and take it from a cool niche cutting edge product, used on a limited basis to a global leader (or as near as you can possibly get to that?) Are Paul Scott and Graham Perry going to try and do this alone? Or will you be allocating a sizeable portion of funds raised on obtaining a leading marketing/advertising firm on your behalf? As a potential investor I hope the lions share of what is raised is spent on gaining exposure, in marketing, brand awareness and establishing a paying global client base and not never ending development (as needed as development is), I'm totally convinced in product and market, but I'd like you to convince me that you have the sales and marketing strategy, because it is this that will make or break your brilliant product invention. Good luck with everything and well done thus far :-)
Thank you for such deep feedback!
This is the answer from Rob and Paul:
"Thank you for this crucial question and we cannot agree with you more. As our initial market drive, we have a marketing and public relations department - in addition to our B2B and B2G sales effort - that works with several online channels targeting the B2C market. I am unable to share all of our strategies but would love to share this; we have a partnership program with Axis whereby we are already in the process of developing our technology to sit on a camera's on-board microchip (the ARM chip). Axis is a global leader and distributor of surveillance hardware and software and this is a critical method we are employing to have our product distributed in-box and on-camera.
Our presence in the blockchain industry has caused a massive spike in interest globally, most notably through our ever-expanding daily social network engagement. Many aligned organizations are interested in connecting their services to the platform that we are developing. Additionally, we will leverage the network of other applications building on our solution as well."
If you have any further questions, you can contact Rob directly.
Just let me know, I'll send you DM with contact information.
Yours,
Faceter team
