Appendix

Primary risksLarge company pivots into Verifeed’s differentiated space: Verification for accuracy and source credibility is Verifeed’s number 1 focus.

Twitter changes terms of service to undercut Verifeed or offers rival service: Verifeed soon diversifies to offer all social feeds; partners will not want multiple service providers if Verifeed can aggregate all sources at a lower cost

Data Costs Rise: Verifeed margins can absorb price increases

•Limited to 5% of fire-hose and single term searches by #hashtag @handle

Twitter

•Strong social management dashboards, but average Twitter search

Social media management

tools

•Focused on Twitter brand monitoring

Twitter-specific search engines

•Focused on user influence (not credibility); not intended for search

Influencer assessment

•Comprehensive but will exceed many clients’ needs & budgets

Broad social data search

tools
