Further they get insights in the analytics of theirvenues with the possibility to benchmark against other (anonymised) venues. 10. Founding PartnersWe will launch the app with founding partners. Founding partners will be partners that pay a fixed fee for servicesfor the first year. The total amount of these fees will help launch Hugo.The deal for the founding partners: A fixed fee for the 1st year of services; Founding partners can choose for one or more services (fixed fee per service)*: Native full page ads for venus or products/brands that are that will appear inbetween invites(Flipboard style).

This can also be discounts with at other businesses/apps, such as ber. a (5% or 10%) discount for life; Finally they will get a special mention in our documentation, app and websites as being the partners thatmade it possible to launch.*Each services has a fixed price, lets say 5000 Euros, so if partner chooses for service 1 and 3, they pay 2*5000 Euros 11. Thoughts on TargetSegments & LaunchThe more interesting the (deals of) the venues, the more friends that participate, the quicker people will join.To gain that traction we will use a special strategy on launch. First we will first focus on the market segment of generation x, y and z. Though the app will be availableto all age groups, we will direct our communication on them first. As this generation is growing up withtechnology as we know it now, the use of apps is part of their daily life. The use of apps to communicatewith friends, organise their leisure time and meet new people is common to them. As Hugo is aboutsharing experiences, we will incorporate this in our strategy via competitions. Additionally we will launch the application per city/country region to offer a complete experience from thestart. This approach limits the active target segment to a geographic area. Mind you, everyone has thesame authorisations within the app, privileges according to points, the launch per city is only for themarketing approach. Secondly we aim to bring in venues quickly to bring interesting venues under the attention of our users.Therefore at the start the invites will always be in sceneries where people will have to pay; a meet up in abar, restaurant or cinema, rather than a yoga or soccer gathering in the park. As soon as we havecontracts with said venues, the user will be made aware of special deals upon selection of the venue. 12. Hugo CompetitionsCompetitions to increase traction: who/which community/school can get thelargest instant party; who brings in most venues in x time; best designs are bought by Hugo fortemplates. Users decide with starts. etc.Prices: Cash Cash equivalents such as an x amount ofbeer for next community event or use ofvenue for class party high school (noalcohol). [to be negotiated by Hugo teamw venues and potential partners(Heineken, etc)]. Hugo Intelligence will track activity basedon user invites and venue check-ins viathe app/invite with use of gps/geo-sensing. 13. The Roll Out Secure contracts with founding partners. Invite students to help us launch as part of their thesis.This way we have insiders to reach students viacommunications they use in their own language. Roll out via student communities, set up of nationalcompetitions. We may have to invest, possibly with apartner to create some great launch parties to set up afitting image so that they want to join us. Find partners to offer special national deals and theprices for our competitions. 14. Notes Final pricing plan to be decided upon for founding partners. Facebook address data will be used for location data (rather dan 4sq). When choosing a venue to check-in or to create an invite, existing Hugo deals willshow. This will also show existing (venue) clans and other current Hugo activity at thelocation. The app will be accessible as a standalone mobile application and if possible as aFacebook app. New releases will offer: video-invitation features, inspiration section, including existing open activity (fi from fb events, eventbrite,meetup) option to enter special groups after payment (clash of clan model), for a small price premium visibility (via Hugo currency/points that can be earnedor bought); individuals to become a community host via subscription model.
