Invest in Manifest TV

ManifestTV is an innovative OTT platform designed to be a centralized hub for engaging with content and thought leaders in mental health, mindfulness, meditation, and spiritual wellness.

Our goal is more than a TV channel… We strive to build a community aimed at making wellness a lifestyle.

Built for FAST

• Curated for live linear playout: programming schedule designed for linear, complete with promotable special event stunts.
• Advertiser Friendly: content is brand safe and advertiser friendly across multiple categories in health, wellness, lifestyle and beyond.
• Brand Partnerships:  content that is ideal for branded integrations, lower thirds, pushbacks, product placement, and more.
• Global: Manifest TV is cleared for global use, and localizable for international audiences.

OTT, or Over-the-Top, refers to a method of delivering film and TV content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional cable or satellite providers. This allows users to stream content on their devices, such as smart TVs, smartphones, tablets, and computers, without needing a traditional TV subscription. By leveraging OTT technology, ManifestTV offers its users access to a wide range of wellness content anytime, anywhere.

FAST stands for “free ad-supported streaming TV.”  It's much like a traditional linear TV channel, but for OTT/CTV platforms and mobile apps. A FAST channel is monetized through commercial ad breaks and is 100% free for the viewer.

Manifest TV is available on multiple FAST platforms that viewers can watch across smart TVs, connected streaming devices, mobile apps and web browsers.

We've strategically allocated $1,350,000 in startup expenses. This funding underpins crucial aspects such as research and development, legal compliance, and robust digital infrastructure, including website development and content delivery networks. A significant portion is earmarked for engaging marketing and advertising strategies, ensuring a strong market presence. Furthermore, essential operational costs like office setup, salaries, and software applications are meticulously budgeted.

In ManifestTV's initial year, we aim to navigate from the foundational building phase through to the pivotal Beta launch, reflecting a prudent allocation and escalation of expenses. In the first month, our plan is to focus on essential legal, operational, and development costs, keeping total expenses down. Progressing into months 2 through 4, our investments in research and development, alongside increasing payroll expenses, will signal growth, maintaining a steady financial outlay. By month 5, with an eye on market readiness, total expenses will climb to $144k, and we expect to continue to intensify our operational capabilities, culminating at $167.2k by month 12. This strategic spending will pave the way for ManifestTV's sophisticated wellness platform, poised to meet the rising demand for holistic digital health experiences.

ManifestTV's first-year sales forecast heralds a promising trajectory, with total revenues anticipated to increase from $81.7k in the inaugural month to a robust $635.3k by the end of month 12. The growth is driven by a mix of revenue streams, including Ad-Supported (AVOD) content starting at $48k and escalating to $443.8k, Subscription (SVOD) services beginning at $22.9k and surging to $155.1k, Transactional (TVOD) sales kicking off at $3.2k and climbing to $8.8k, and Ecommerce/Retail contributions rising from $7.5k to $27.5k. This progressive scale-up is poised to culminate in a substantial total gross of $2,753k at year's end, setting a solid foundation for ManifestTV's market impact.

ManifestTV's three-year financial outlook post-launch is meticulously crafted, reflecting a blend of strategic growth and fiscal prudence. In the first year, we project a robust gross income of $1.59 million, buoyed by the initial surge in subscriptions and content monetization. Our expenses, meticulously managed at $1.34 million, are primarily channeled into content acquisition and technology enhancements, paving the way for a healthy net income of $253k.

As we enter Year 2, our focus on expanding our user base and diversifying content offerings is expected to propel gross income to $2.17 million. Simultaneously, our investment in marketing and platform development is expected to drive expenses to $1.65 million, yielding a doubled net income of $521k.

The third year marks a significant milestone, with our gross income is projected to leap to $3.77 million. This surge is anticipated due to expanded global reach, integration of advanced AI for personalized user experiences, and strategic partnerships. Meanwhile, controlled operational expenses are anticipated at $2.14 million, which include scaling our infrastructure and enhancing user support systems, could provide a net income escalation to a remarkable $1.63 million. These figures not only underscore ManifestTV's potent market positioning but also our commitment to a balanced, scalable approach to growth, delivering value to our users and stakeholders alike.

ManifestTV’s valuation is not merely a figure; it's a testament to our vision and the transformative potential of our platform in the digital wellness arena. At a calculated $3.8 million company value, our initial seed round, structured as a SAFE raise, is $500,000 which offers a strategic 13.16% stake.

This structure is designed to mutually benefit and align interests with you, our early investors, offering you a tangible opportunity to grow with us. The convertible nature of this investment is a strategic move, allowing these early investments to seamlessly transition into equity during the intended Series A funding round (not guaranteed). This foresight not only underscores our confidence in ManifestTV's potential but also sets the stage for robust growth.

In the dynamic world of digital wellness, ManifestTV stands as a beacon of promising financial returns. Over the first three years post-launch, we anticipate a cumulative net revenue of $2.25 million, demonstrating a steady upward trajectory from $236.5k in Year 1 to an impressive $1.52 million by Year 3. This performance results in a calculated ROI of 49.84% against the initial $1.5 million investment, a strong indicator of our platform's market appeal and operational efficiency.

Delving deeper into the financials, our projections for the subsequent two years further solidify the investment's attractiveness. By the end of Year 5, our total revenue is expected to hit the $5.52 million mark. For you, as investors contributing the initial $1.5 million raise, this presents a notable 15% cash-out opportunity amounting to $828k by Year 5. When the entire five-year period is considered, the total ROI surges to $2.33 million. (These are forward-looking projections and cannot be guaranteed)

This robust ROI is not just a reflection of raw numbers but is underpinned by ManifestTV’s strategic growth initiatives. We aim to expand our global user base, enhance our content offerings, and forge key partnerships. We believe our platform is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the burgeoning demand for digital wellness solutions, with the ambition to ensure that our revenue streams are both diverse and scalable.
