Dear friends, my name is Anatoly Makeevich, I am from St. Petersburg, Russia. I am the author of Geos. Shortly, this is geolocation searchengine for community activities. Geos must know about all interesting and useful activities (events) happening in the world. And a user should be able to find interesting activities nearby. User can do it in a convenient way, viewing as a feed, as points on a map, or watching through camera around (augmented reality). Nearby actual events and activities all over the World are possible because of geosocial network (where people can share location based content and attach time to it) and cryptocurrency motivation system at the background.
In 2013 I started watching the repeated situation that it is difficult to find something nearby when it is needed. I am watching this situation regularly with many people everywhere. Especially this problem actual for travelers, though there are Google maps and other services. It is the problem that something what we need happens nearby us, but often we don't know anything about it.
After many watchings, ideas, discussions, experiments, I developed model for Geos. As mentioned this is the geolocation searchengine based on social network. I’ll try to say summarized about Geos. It solves the real existing problem. There is audience who wants to create geolocation content and there is audience who need this content. It is free and open. Everybody can earn money in the system. It is based on privateness and personal security. The monetization is geocontext advertising like Google Adsence - 50% earns author and 50% earns Geos. We have proven way for involving people to network based on prizes. And the main is that location based ad market worldwide is growing and will reach $62B in 2021 (against $12B) in 2015. Geos is potential competitor of Google and Facebook to this market.
Now we need to make the first and the most important step - to create prototype of Geos for Android and iOS.
So, we need initial budget to develop it fast. I want prototype to be until January-February 2018. We would like to find support from community or long-term investor or strategical investor. Initially we need $200000 (30BTC) for developing prototype (design, programming, api service, servers).
There are different ways of refunding investments and depends on investor. There won't be monetization right after prototype development finish. But we want to organize ICO crowdfunding to raise money for marketing needs, so will be able to return to investor then. Another way, for example, if investor will get opportunity to broadcast unlimited ad for free through Geos in the country he lives in. This would be much more interesting in long term. Also, we developed cryptotokens Geoscoins and can share with it. They can raise many times after project start, as it gives some unique opportunities to holders. We hope they will be in exchanging in February. Or we can initially create geohub for investor for his mall center, terminal, airport and start Geos from this geohub. Geos’es geohub means an area of interest, and when user is inside such place, he gets access to additional services, like local offers, floor map, indoor navigation and so on.
I have much more information about Geos, and will be happy to answer your question if you have.
Community, please help us to create this project!
Sincerely, Anatoly Makeevich
