[My company] is a data processing start-up concentrating on solving of human intelligence tasks. Who we are: I am organizing an Internet dot com for data processing and mining, with a distributed development team. For the pre-first and first dev stages we don't need a US-based office location, so our principal place of business will be situated in Ukraine. This is NOT an open-source project, all core team members will be a tightly connected group of highly intelligent individuals with money interest in and passion towards The Project. Our funding needs are about $100K with $20K for the pre-first stage that should take 3-4 months. Next funding round is in 12-18 months. What we do: - solve human tests - resell solving of human tests with a positive knowledge gain - provide anti-spam authorization for websites - provide human test information as a search engine and knowledge source - develop a data processing and analysis framework - target to become a solid data processing and mining services provider Problem we're solving: - reduce user pain when using www - help internet marketers - prevent internet forms and captcha abuse How we make money: - by providing automated web services - by reselling human-based services - by analyzing Internet and raising knowledge Anything Else You Should Know: Investment will be spent on buying hardware, team salaries and rent. We're becoming profitable after launch in ~18 months. There will be one more funding round before the launch. There are no competitors, all the existing ones are to become a part of our marketplace.
