Idea

New technology for improving UGC. 3 main features: 1) Crowd sourcing video. 2) We will add the soundtrack from the sound desk. 3) Autoedition.

Current Status

We have MVP in test phase. Already attending concerts and first artists enrolled

Market

The generation and consumption of video content with mobile phones is increasingly ubiquitous. User expectations in terms of quality and immediacy are constantly increasing. The category of mobile applications that is increasing the most are those related to video editing (see Figure 3). However, creating videos is still an individual and very laborious process. The technology of La Rumba de Barcelona S.L. focuses on radically simplifying video creation, making it a collective process, and extremely fast.

This technology is relevant for different market sectors. However, our first vertical is the music industry. We focus on concerts, which currently make up 90% of musicians' income. The objective is to validate the technology and the market fit to later grow in other verticals.
To understand our business strategy well, it is important to distinguish the benefits of the different actors involved in our user experience:
● The user or consumer is the one who wants to use technology to create a video. Applied to the vertical of the music the audience attending the concert. Thanks to IZI and its technology you get:
A. A video that immortalizes that moment not only through its 5 mobile cameras but also through the 1,000 of the rest of the audience. A unique video, personalized for him thanks to the use of artificial intelligence.
B. High quality audio in the videos of him, in the case of the vertical of the music provided by the musician. If it were a congress by the congress producer.
● The customer is the user when he decides to pay for the download of the video (B2C model) or the event sponsor (B2B model), who can add advertising to users who want a free experience. It is important to highlight the differentiation with other means of communication: it offers an experience; partnership with a support service for favorite artists and a memorable experience. Videos that are shared provide accurate metrics on digital impact on social media.
● The application ambassador is the one who creates the event: the congressman, the bride and groom at a wedding, or the musician in our first vertical. We want them to be our main promoters. Because IZI is the first APP that was born to support live music. The musician gets:
A. All media content generated by him and by users
B. A substantial part of the turnover (51%).

Our business model allows us to generate income from the first video with a very limited investment. We can face three cases and in all of them it is monetized:
1. Creation of a monetizable database through advertiser campaigns.
2. The user wants to save a video of that concert and will pay an amount for the download
3. The user wants to support that musician and the musician encourages him to participate through IZI
The fact that the musician is the main beneficiary allows us to have a low CAC and have a very agile expansion plan, being able to grow very aggressively.

Problem or Opportunity

APPs for events are not offering any experience but content. We want users to improve their videos using others users videos so they can enhance their video with other perspective.

Solution (product or service)

We offer a new tech that can be integrated to any APP. This tech will offer a new recording experience to users and at the same time a new media channel to sponsors. The users will create unique videos thanks to RTS tech. Our tech combines 1) video crowdsourcing. Everyone standing with a phone will become you camera staff and the other way around. 2) Hi-Fi audio. The soundtrack will be added from the mixer desk. 3) Autoedition: We will mix all the videos according your preferences with AI. Everyone will have his own video. At the same time sponsors will be able to use it a a new media cannel.

Competitors

Media channels such: TV, radio, press, etc...

2. In Shot: B2C. Photo and video editing.

○ Adjusting the synchronization between audio and video is especially cumbersome

● Weak points:
○ Offering too many options in the edition creates complexity
○ Audio editing is limited to the incorporation or not of tracks on videos or photos to replace the one captured by the user. There is no free version.
○ Being a generic editor, without limiting the use case wh ere the video is made, the effectiveness of automatic editing is limited

5. TikTok:
B2C. Tik Tok pursues the use of video support to share moments, feelings, ... They are short. They should not be too elaborate. Very spontaneous and genuine. Collect a very broad target. From the sports fanatic, the pet enthusiast or just the one looking to make people laugh. Much of its high penetration is the ease with which these videos can be created.
