I'll invest everything!!!!!

I honestly really like this product and the time is now. Would you sell this to Google? Or do you work for Google? I'm a big fan of google classroom and G-interact would be a nice feature. I'm just curious how would I make money as an investor? I didn't see a section for what the consumer paid to use it. I would find it hard to invest in for that reason, but what a great idea! I hope you sell it to google and make millions. I enjoyed the layout of your pitch.

Well, I think you hit the nail on the head with a relevant product. I would 100% use technology like this, especially with the current global situation. There are a lot of companies trying to do a similar thing like Talent Cards, Mindtree etc but yours seems to have more of an appeal to an average person which I like. This makes it stand out! As an investor, I would be interested in this. But I would have a few questions. 1) How fast can you take this to market? 2) Are you willing to sell this technology to a bigger company like Google and is that part of the vision? My big worry would be that we cant develop it fast enough and a bigger company would take away a large part of the customer base. Love it! Great Job!

Hey Anouk, Great job. I'm an avid hiking and outdoor enthusiast and you totally make a great point why is there not a simple course for mountaineering like there is for diving. I've done my PADI training and I was very thankful for the safety that training provided when diving. The outdoors is big business in Vancouver, especially during the tourest season. I can totally see myself using this the maps feature. As an investor, my issue would be making my money back. At least in Vancouver, most of the big money is made on tourism and I don't see many tourists wanting to do extra work out of choice especially during their holidays. If there was a change in regulation as far as mountaineering and a short course was mandated by the government before anyone could hike. I would invest in a heartbeat. Great product!

Nice Work!

I loved the OER! Great work. For some reason, flipgrid was not working for me. The VR tool I would use in my classroom would be "The Music Room". It's a great way for students to engage with the instrument they may not be able to play because of noise etc. Also, it's an easy way to alow students to try multiple instruments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gB5VJyArpQ&feature=emb_title

Nice work! I enjoyed that! Michael

I really like the freemium approach, it seems to work well and attract and retain the most users. They periodic advertising seems to be effective and make up for the patrons not switching to premium. While I'm a big fan of the app and would totally utilize it in the classroom or in my personal life. I read some formes about issues with new changes that many patrons are upset with this new model. For example the amount of lessons per level. While this is just a little change its easy to loose patrons who don't pay anything. All that aside this app is still crushing it!

You're so right about the news page. Good call!

I would not invest in this venture. I might buy one for my children, but not for my classroom.  Think of Chatterbox as a build it yourself Google Home or Alexa. Through the construction process of Chatterbox, students learn how and why this technology works and provides an opportunely for kids to privately interact with AI. (Chatterbox ensure no data collection and no ads) Chatterbox states that children spend “way to much time with technology that isn’t looking out for them” they aim to combat this by providing a product that is private and creative. It looks like most potential buys will buy online (unless you live in the California area) no big box store or Amazon. The team is briefly described on the Kickstarter page with no more information than their titles. I see no schooling, experience, etc. This would not make me want to invest as an investor. Al, so they use “fun” job titles which doesn't help establish a sense of professionalism. They briefly identify competitors as Alexa and Google Home but identify their product as one that is safe/private for children. On Kickstarter this company had a goal of $10,000 o help them produce Chatterbox at a better value. (they did raise over $55,000) Investors would be expected to get their return about 6 months after they finalize the supply chain. However, if you bought a higher level perk you could receive is faster.
