FLAPZ

We centralize the offer of an extensive network of partners; PART 135 certified air operators, which includes hundreds of aircraft, helicopters and business jets, and we connect them with that business class user who feels abandoned and who is looking for a new, more flexible, private and efficient travel experience, in which they can decide how, when and where to fly, 100% digitally

Sales in Q1 2021 rose to US$ 200K and we have projected to finish April with US$ 70K to round up the operations of 2021 with an average of US$ 65K monthly sales.

In Latinamerica there were 359 million passengers carried by air in Latin America and the Caribbean back in 2019. 6.2 million belong to Business Travellers, of which 70% of them have never flown in private aviation.
Our customers can be summarized as Business Owners, C-Suites Executives, and Entrepreneurs, which is also confluent to Henrys' demographics characteristics (High Earners Not Rich Yet) and DINKS (Dual Income No Kids).

The private aviation industry is one of those industries that has not yet been digitized, in addition, the Air Charter Operators individually faces the following problems:

- Idle capacity of high-cost assets underutilized
- Empty Legs; that operators are not able to commercialize
- Lack of digital sales strategy and channels

Finally, the industry is fragmented adding friction to the commercialization process.

While on the other side, the Business Traveler feels abandoned in LATAM due to the high penetration of low-cost models, added to the following problems:

- Loss of time in check-in, security checks, among others queues in commercial aviation
- Limited flexibility in routes and itineraries
- Business-class experience no longer available

They are looking for a new way of traveling that is more flexible, private and efficient, with the freedom to define how, when, and where to fly, optimizing their times.

We are the first Spanish-speaking private aviation Marketplace in Latin America. We centralize the offer and digitize the fleet of hundreds of partners, all Part 135 air operators, so the business-class user who feels abandoned and is looking for a new, more flexible, private and efficient travel experience, in 3 simple steps can have access to private aviation through charter flights, empty legs and shared flights.

For us, democratization is making private aviation more accessible. The market it was once targeting was tens of thousands Flapz is bringing private aviation into the millions through technology and digitization.

1.- Strengthen operations in Colombia and the team that will support future markets
2.-Build the Chile team to become the Hub of the Southern Cone
3.-Strengthen the technology of the current web platform, develop the application for both IOs and Android, launch the final version of Flapz Partners with automation and onboarding, and develop Flapz Corporate for OTAs integration
4.- Develop and implement the Digital Marketing strategy focused on ROI, with the aim of increasing leads, reducing CAC and accelerating the scalability across the region
5.- Implement a loading factor strategy with anchor routes and test the market until the product market fit of this new product is reached
Develop and implement the Shared Flights strategy, an inexistent model in the market
6.- Incorporate operators from adjacent countries to expand fleet availability and consolidate the regional neural network of partners
7.- Project the opening of operations in Mexico from the end of 2020 to launch in Q1-Q2 of 2021

In this round we are raising US$ 1M with a CAP of US $5,7M (post-money) equivalent to 18,18% through a SAFE.

I think one of the biggest risks is the speed at which the technology needs to be in place to conquer the region and the infrastructure needed to support it.
