The Problem:

What’s the one thing that drives everyone crazy with their cool new smartphones and tablets?

That #$&*@ keyboard!

The Problem:

What’s the one thing that drives everyone crazy with their cool new smartphones and tablets?

That #$&*@ keyboard!

And it’s become a frustrating, error-riddled bottleneck for all the cool, useful, on-the-go stuff we bought these devices for in the first place: text, email, chat, search, contacts, tweets, tags, posts, updates, comments…

The Solution:

What the post-PC world needs is dextr® – a logical, intuitive, fast-to-learn, easy-to-use, simple-to-master text input solution specifically designed for touchscreens.

dextr® is a patent pending downloadable mobile app that replaces your clunky default keyboard. It's as easy as A B C.

The Strategy:

App-o-matic is distributing and commercialising dextr® via a ‘freemium’ pricing strategy on app stores globally. We plan to leverage downloads and sales into licencing deals for telcos, mobile device manufacturers and software developers.

So far, we’ve…

• written the business plan
• raised $200K in seed funding
• registered patents and trademarks globally
• built a working prototype
• integrated a text prediction system
• built web and mobile based marketing platforms
• launched a public beta in the Android Market

And we’re currently planning for a major commercial launch within the next 3 months.

The Offer:

We’re now seeking a second round of $500K funding for a 10% equity position to:

• Secure international patents for dextr®
• Staff-up and scale up
• Build global promotional modules like games and contests
• Execute market-specific campaigns
• Continue to refine and perfect the technology

The Exit:

With a view to a strategic trade sale in the mobile sector within 3 years.
