  1. Vision Google Docs + Wikipedia for online shopping To give

    savvy shoppers a tool to enhance, package, and share their online shopping stories to benefit other shoppers and to provide detailed insights to retailers/manufacturers
  2. Do you think you will continue to use Agora when

    you shop online? (user testing responses*) “YES!!!!! YES!!! Sorry I am so excited about this app I feel lucky to have come across it! It is the perfect tool to make online shopping so much easier and also saves you time from clicking back and forth. Not to mention it is so user friendly... I am very excited to keep using Agora!” “Thanks to Agora I will never shop the same way again!!” “I know I will use Agora.” “I will definitely use it when I shop online. I thought it was extremely useful. I liked that you could create various workspaces for your selected items.” *These responses have been selected by Agora for presentation and do not purport to be a complete portrayal of all responses.
  3. Current Status of Agora • Early beta with 650+ users

    • Monetization through Skimlinks • User acquisition under agreement with Social Ingot (Social Growth Technologies) in test phase* *See Agora Private Placement Memorandum for more information.
  4. Problem • Shoppers are still using browser tabs and email

    to collect and share products. • The shopping experience is isolated/controlled by merchants, which is bad for consumers. • There’s no shopping utility that is process-oriented, which is necessary to make sharing meaningful.
  5. Solution • Collect and organize products across sites • Access

    optimized product information without loading the product page • Process-oriented workspace • Real-time collaboration • Inline consolidated payment system

  7. Monetization • Agora is monetized through affiliate links. We project

    generating $0.10-$0.25 per active user per month.* • Future opportunities for monetization include a paid B2B service, data mining, and advertisements. *The Company's projections have not been independently reviewed, are based on assumptions which may not materialize, and cover a period of more than one-year, which makes forecasting especially difficult. In view of these limitations, it cannot be determined if the Company’s projections will materialize or that the Company will be profitable.
  8. User Acquisition • Agora has an agreement with Social Ingot—the

    most expansive casual games ad platform in the industry, which reaches over 300M people each month—in which Social Ingot will notify people within their platform about Agora.* There is also an opportunity to target users in India and/or China at very low cost. • Publicize.co ($500 per month startup PR agency) *See Agora Private Placement Memorandum for more information.
