Gaming’s Portal to the Social Web Investor Brief Q3/2009 Investor Brief Q3/2009
tribe:  (n.) a group of people connected to each other,  to a leader and to an idea. ∆ ∆  -  Seth Godin, 2008

is interested in organizing tribes, leading them, and providing like-minded individuals with tools to share, interact, and grow their enthusiasm  regardless of community affiliation.
isn’t  about creating new social destination.  Destinations change  all the time. We’re interested in creating and fostering tribes that live inside  any destination   our members choose. 2003 – 2004 – 2005 – 2006 – 2008
Problem w/ today’s social model: Currently, users interested in  who belong to  Community A  cannot interact with users from  Community B   who are also interested in  . has been really busy developing software to  solve this problem.
Here’s what we’ve come up with:
Sounds great, but does it work? As they say, the proof is in the pudding.  So let’s dive into the results of our Beta:
was launched into Beta in Q4/2008 and has seen  rapid adoption  and  strong organic growth  across supported social networks.  As the name suggests,  is focused on giving gaming enthusiasts a habitat to communicate, share,  and interact  regardless of their gaming platform  or community of choice.

is monetized, has a rolodex, and is ready to grow. If there were no additional sales this year, we’re still taking  home  $450k  in discounted promotion and development fees from our Beta network of Video Game Publishers.  With standard pricing, a sales staff, and an expanded  client base, we expect next year’s figures to be  much higher.
What’s Next? So, before we hit the phones, flex our rolodex, and step out of Beta, we thought it might be best to take a few breaths, step back, and plan our big move. Onto our growth strategy…
First, we took a look at the competition: We’re well positioned as the only social network player, but at a crucial point in our growth… Web-Service Monthly Active Users Funding Raised or Sale Price ($) XFire.com 255,547 102M (Sale) GamerDNA.com 54,191 3M (Funding/VC) Rupture.com 2,469 15M (Sale) Raptr.com 34,010 12M (Funding/VC) IGN 6,836,000 64M (Sale) GameTrailers 647,145 14M [estimated] (Sale) 62,303 600k (Funding/OE)
Then, we took a look at online marketing spends: And despite the economic slowdown, the iron  is hot for us to acquire a significant share of 2010’s spend.
