We've been helping our clients with their custom software development needs for 3+ years.\u0026nbsp; At the same time, we've been searching for the perfect product to build.\u0026nbsp; While working with our clients we found that there is so much texting going on in business but on personal lines.\u0026nbsp; This can be clunky, so we started testing a purpose-built solution for teams to text with their customers and prospects in a personal way.\u0026nbsp; Our clients loved the idea so we started\u0026nbsp;building Beetexting in the background -\u0026nbsp;methodically working with our Beta users to listen to what they wanted in a communication app and build it for them!Emails \u0026amp; Phone Calls Aren't Always a Great Option.We all know that phone calls and emails\u0026nbsp;are good for some things but so much is better done with texting.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;That's why we all text so much in our personal lives!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Beetexting helps take the texting we're all doing with customers anyway, to the next level.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Taking a Beeline to the Customer!Adding business-grade team-centric features to texting gives companies the confidence they need to know they can keep things organized, compliant and secure when texting with customers. This means teams can now benefit from the reason we all text; it's easy, convenient, personal, and helpful! When your customers can text your team, your customers are happy! A Winning Solution for Teams!Beetexting team-centric features are easy to use.\u0026nbsp; Our customers tell us they love Beetexting's user experience.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;That's why they reach for Beetexting when they're looking to delight their customers and prospects with timely personal communication.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Automations extend their reach and help them do even more for their customers!The Communication Advocate.While Beetexting can help companies blast out marketing texts to targeted customer segments, create automated marketing sequences, appointment reminders, pay-by-text, and collect online reviews by text, the core of Beetexting is in the power of texting; personal communication that helps build deep relationships.The Communication Advocate has been met with rave reviews!\u0026nbsp; Our customers love how these features balance pausing for reflection with the need for responsive\u0026nbsp;communication.\u0026nbsp; Branded reflections help organizations stay on brand as a team!\u0026nbsp;Honey in the Bank!Technocentra Group has a fully-owned subsidiary in Hyderabad, India with a team of 20+ developers (including 17 full-time employees). From the beginning, we built our consultancy using the same offshore development\u0026nbsp;model used by the fortune 500.\u0026nbsp;Our team started small, took on just over\u0026nbsp;$280,000 in capital, and\u0026nbsp;has grown to break-even operations through our custom software work for our services clients\u0026nbsp;(our services revenue funds service delivery and a portion of\u0026nbsp;Beetexting's development).\u0026nbsp; At the same time, we've grown Beetexting to over $27,000 in annual recurring revenue (ARR) thru our 40+ customers!Busy Bees!We've been working diligently to build Beetexting with our customers.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;To date we've had no full-time salespeople and\u0026nbsp;done little marketing, most everything has been word-of-mouth.\u0026nbsp;Now that customers are happy, it's time to invest in a sales and marketing team for Beetexting and grow!\u0026nbsp;A Beeline to the Market!Our plan is to continue to grow our services business thru strategic partnerships and\u0026nbsp;word-of-mouth. The margin from this work will continue to underpin\u0026nbsp;Beetexting's development team.\u0026nbsp; This means the majority of investment dollars go straight into growth through sales and marketing!\u0026nbsp;Some of our early investors are founders of other tech companies. These companies have over 150+ customers who range from local small businesses to Fortune 40 companies.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Our plan is to continue to work with these customers to find industry verticals that we can develop deep integrations within.\u0026nbsp; These deep integrations can position Beetexting as a go-to option in these industries.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;From here our direct sales team will work to add new customers within these verticals.\u0026nbsp; We've already found a few\u0026nbsp;great industries with this strategy\u0026nbsp;for our direct sales team to call on.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;That's a Big Pot of Honey!The A2P (application-to-person)\u0026nbsp;messaging market is projected to grow at a compounding annual growth rate of\u0026nbsp;4.32%.\u0026nbsp; The COVID-19 pandemic has, and we expect will continue, to increase\u0026nbsp;the adoption of A2P\u0026nbsp; texting within organizations.\u0026nbsp; The Total Available Market (TAM) represents the size of the global A2P market while the Serviceable Available Market (SAM) represents the opportunity in the US and Canada; our current target market.A Strong \u0026amp; Experienced Team!Our plan is to raise this seed round of $1M to validate our ability to deploy capital efficiently thru planned sales and marketing channels. Our current business goal is to reach 350 paying subscribers by Oct 1st, 2022 acquired at a ratio of at least 4:1, CLTV:CAC (customer lifetime value to customer acquisition cost), on a rolling 30-day avg. We believe meeting this goal will allow us to attract capital for a second seed round of $5M, which will be used to scale. From here our plan is to seek further growth capital thru series A, etc to IPO.**These are forward-looking statements and projections only.

Our plan is to raise this seed round of $1M is to validate our ability to deploy capital efficiently thru planned sales and marketing channels. Our current business goal is to reach 350 paying subscribers by Oct 1st, 2022 acquired at a ratio of at least 4:1, CLTV:CAC (customer lifetime value to customer acquisition cost), on a rolling 30-day avg. We believe meeting this goal may allow us to attract capital for a second seed round of $5M, which may be used to scale. From here our plan is to seek further growth capital thru series A, etc leading to an IPO exit. Along the way, we intend to pursue and entertain acquisition offers. *These are forward-looking statements and projections only.

Beetexting is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) business operating in the telecommunications industry. Our revenue model is comprised of selling licenses to use our software on a subscription basis. Being in the telecommunications industry, we also earn revenue from various usages on our platform, such as text messages sent and received, phone numbers rented, and campaign service charges, among a few others. In addition to Beetexting's SaaS offering, Technocentra also provides services like custom software development and managed software services to our clients. We earn revenue for providing these services to our clients on various terms and contracts. I'll focus the rest of the answers on Beetexting as the services business operates in a mature industry.","author_name":"Michael Somers","votes":1,"created_at":"2022-04-29T12:58:45Z"},{"id":203450,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:203450","answer":"2.) Beetexting operates within a niche called Application-to-Person (A2P) SMS within the telecommunications industry. Even though the space is quite new, there are already several competitors. We expect that is because the A2P space is already a $76 Billion market and set to grow to $100 Billion by 2028 (source: Verified Market Research: Global A2P SMS Market 2021). After all, there are a lot of people for companies to text 😊. With the industry being rather new and moving at a fast pace, the major carriers came together and created The Campaign Registry (CTR). The CTR was created, in large part, to help combat undesired messages from being sent to their customers. Beetexting is what's known as a Campaign Service Provider within the CTR. We help brands create and deliver their SMS campaigns. So, in a sense, other Campaign Service Providers within the CTR are our competitors. You can see Beetexting listed among the other Campaign Service Providers on The Campaign Registry's site. However, as the space is so use-case specific, we wouldn't consider all of the other Campaign Service Providers to be competitors. We'd consider some of them to be potential partners! We are actively pursuing these types of partnerships!","author_name":"Michael Somers","votes":1,"created_at":"2022-04-29T12:59:12Z"},{"id":203451,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:203451","answer":"3.) In our opinion, there are many! I'll list a few here. Within the larger value chain of the A2P SMS industry, major carriers, wholesalers, campaign service providers, and the brands delivering the messages to end-users, the question of what is our competitive advantage depends on who we are serving. For wholesalers, we are resellers who help move inventory (SMS/MMS on 10DLC and Toll-Free lines). Our advantage here is to be a great partner to the wholesaler by developing a robust feature suite that meets the use-case needs of a wide array of brands. Also, wholesalers are obsessed (because they are focusing on the carriers) with SPAM. So having developed extensive SPAM blocking features and processes, Beetexting is helping the wholesaler combat SPAM. Our most significant immediate opportunity is to become a great partner to a large telecommunications company that is moving, seeking to expand its use case coverage (features they can offer their existing customers) within the A2P SMS space. We believe we are an excellent target for partnership and acquisition because of Beetexting's unique position of being early stage but also one of the more robust A2P SMS SaaS offerings available today! While many large enterprise software projects are built using the offshore development model, not many startups in our space take this route. So we believe that our experience with enterprise software and our wholly-owned subsidiary offshore development center in Hyderabad give us a rapid development competitive advantage that brought us to this unique position. When considering the brand in the value chain, we believe we have a competitive advantage for several industries, such as all the agent/broker industries and wholesaler industries, as well as any industry that seeks to engage their customer in programs. We don't want to share too much about our specific target markets. Lastly, we believe we have a distinct competitive advantage from our Communication Advocate feature suite that we developed from a Bible Study on Communication we did when we first started developing the product. The Bible Study taught us the importance of reflection in communication, and so we've built several features to help our users consider their words before and after they send them.","author_name":"Michael Somers","votes":1,"created_at":"2022-04-29T12:59:52Z"},{"id":203452,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:203452","answer":"4.)
