What would you do ?
You’re pitching to Sir @richardbranson 🙀
it’s Live on TV 📺 you’ve got just 1 take.
There’s 200 people staring at you. 👀
From 300 companies, only 3 left.
At 7am I was doing burpees and star jumps in the shower shouting out my pitch listening to rap music, getting ready for @tysonfury or the @therock
Here’s my pitch 🎙️
1: The Hook
Imagine a social platform that could turn your pictures into money?
2: The Audience
miPic gives 1 billion people the opportunity to sell their images instantly at the push of a button
3: My Story
I moved to London as an architect and saw the impact mobile images had on our lives and social status.
I saw potential in @instagram
How 100 Likes ❤️
Could be turned into £100💰
4: The Problem
What started as a way for me to print and sell my own photography on a market stall, became the social platform for us all to do so.
5: The Opportunity
Millions of us have images good enough to be hung at a gallery, sold at a retailer or sent as a gift to a loved one.
6. Traction
Visitors in 80 countries in the first 4 months
300 active artists (gaining instant users was 🙌🏽)
The name #miPic is a Spanish word for “my picture”
7: The Vision
Let’s launch on all platforms.
Let’s give #sanfrancisco a run for its money.
A 30 year old architect from #Liverpool
With no business degree from MIT or Cambridge.
24 months working evenings to launch Beta.
£5,000 in my account but confidence of someone with 1000x that. I believe in my Brand.
Watching this a decade later, I knew exactly how I wanted miPic to look and feel. Quality but affordable and for everyone with a splash of humour.
I have since closed £2,000,000 to build a tech company that can shoot for the moon and give the UK a community owned company and brand to be proud of.
Once an idea sitting on a market stall, excites me more so today with customers in every corner of 🌍
Dare to dream, surprise yourself by how possible the impossible is, be relentless ignore the naysayers.
#entrepreneurship is the rollercoaster of ultimate satisfaction. ✊🏼
