Key Take-Aways from Venture Atlanta
We recently attended the annual Venture Atlanta event, the Southeast’s largest technology investment conference. The excitement over the two-day event was remarkable, as nearly 1000 entrepreneurs, tech enthusiasts, and high-profile business and technology investors gathered to share ideas, network, and learn from several interesting tech companies and top-tier investors.
One of the event’s highlights for our team personally was meeting the closing keynote speaker Mark Cuban. Of course, he hardly needs an introduction — as the chairman and CEO of AXS TV and one of the famed “sharks” on ABC’s hit show Shark Tank, he’s a well-known, active investor in a number of businesses, a successful technology entrepreneur, and major sports franchise owner.
Philip Lewis, principal at Fulcrum Equity Partners and chairman of Venture Atlanta, said, “Mark Cuban is a remarkable symbol of entrepreneurship and what you can accomplish if you have a great idea, a solid business plan, the right people on board, and the perseverance to execute.”
As we approach significant milestones in our own business, words never resonated so clearly.
· A great idea — Monetizr business idea came together from our own experiences and a desire to solve the frustrations around interruptive gameplay. We know we are solving a real need for all sides of the ecosystem, bringing together everything we love about virtual gaming with our physical lives.
· A solid business plan — A good business plan starts with a clear goal in mind. A solid business plan comes together if you have a clear strategy in place on how you’re going to get there. Our platform is built to enhance the experience for both gamers and game developers, creating meaningful experiences that result in increased engagement and better lifetime value — all in an elegant, simple to implement and use solution.
· The right people — Having just completed Techstars Atlanta, we’ve never been more confident in, or proud of, our team at TheMonetizr. The excitement among our founders, investors, advisors, and employees underscores our commitment to creating a truly unique experience for the amazing community of developers and fans we’ve already been so fortunate to work with along the way.
· Perseverance to execute — And last, but certainly not least, is our perseverance to execute. Monetizr is a game platform that rewards gamers for their time and skill. Monetizr helps to drive revenue and increase engagement for game developers, and we enable marketers to target specific gamer demographics and interact with them right inside the game or app. We are working around the clock to develop new functionality and features that we can’t wait to roll out in the coming months.
Mark Cuban has been a long-time supporter and “huge fan” of blockchain (we couldn’t agree more). You can check out this video from Venture Atlanta where he spent some time discussing cryptocurrencies and the associated value based on the ever-increasing demand. We believe we are only just beginning to unlock the value that this platform — and Monetizr — are creating for the gaming community.
