Spotting opportunity.

Ted Cohn worked remotely as a software developer for 16 years, and sometimes that got lonely. He was looking to connect with mentors to help him with his consulting business.

Diane Cohn was a budding YouTuber who noticed that big creators had hundreds of fans asking questions that went unanswered, some even offering to pay to speak with them.

Then Covid hit, suddenly making video calls the new normal.

A viewer approached Diane and offered to pay to speak with her. The lightbulb went on, she and Ted collaborated, and Wildeye’s BidToTalk was born.

How do you connect with influential people?

Billions of followers want to connect with millions of influencers but can’t because the influencers are inundated by too many requests.

Millions of influencers are looking for new ways to monetize. They want to connect with fans but want to do it conveniently and safely on their own terms.

So we created a BidToTalk, a marketplace where people can bid or pay for private video calls with influencers.

Influencers, athletes, professionals, and personalities can auction specific time slots for video calls to the highest bidder. Or, they can simply charge a fixed fee to speak to fans during the time slots they make available.

Our technology handles search, bidding, scheduling, payment processing, security, and video calls. Fans get access to influencers, and influencers get an easy way to monetize.

Speaking with fans via video calls is an expedient way for influencers to earn income versus chasing elusive, complicated sponsorship deals, creating digital products, or continually having to push out additional content on subscription membership sites.

How we make money.

Our business model is simple. We charge 20% for every video call.

3.8 billion people use social media, and the top 1% or 38 million are influencers. Influencer marketing is a growing $10 billion industry, and the professional consulting industry is $130 billion. The market opportunity is huge.

The road ahead.

We plan to launch the commercial version of the web app within 90 days of funding and intend to scale rapidly. We've also identified some intellectual property that may be patentable.

Our plan is to go public in 2021, and we intend to start the Direct Public Offering process concurrently with product development. The reason we’re going public early is that it should open additional financing opportunities and provide stock options to incentivize staff and talent.

In five years, our conservative financial model estimates 200,000 active influencers using the platform, $84 million in annual revenue, and fans enjoying 17 million meaningful video conversations per year with 0.5% of total influencers worldwide.
