Editor's Notes
Good morning everyone, my name is Cian and I’m co-founder and CEO of CloudDock – the universal adaptor for cloud storage.
There are over 625 million cloud storage users today. That’s set to double to 1.3 billion by 2017

Right now, over 20 major vendors are offering enterprise level cloud storage solutions. It’s a massive, rapidly growing area – but there’s a problem.
This is Dave, an IT consultant. His company has over 100 employees, and they all use Google Drive for file storage and sharing.
Dave typically works with 3-5 clients at a time, and they rarely use the same service as him. So up until now, he had two options.
He could adopt his clients service of choice – but now his files, and his companies’ important information, are scattered across multiple, potentially untrusted services – and it’s up to him to manage this content manually
Or he could resort to emailing attachments back and forth – but this is impractical for ongoing collaboration, is impossible for larger files and negates almost all the advantages of having cloud storage in the first place
This problem multiplies with each client Dave takes on! Because these systems aren’t compatible, content quickly becomes fragmented across multiple services.The problem is time consuming, difficult to manage, and costly for both Dave and his business.

From then, CloudDock automatically detects files and folders being sent to Dave from Dropbox, Box or SkyDrive, to name just a few, and syncs them into folders on his Google Drive account.

For just €10 a month, Dave keeps his work, and his businesses information, on his service – while his clients stay on theirs. He enjoys all the advantages of cloud storage, and seamless collaboration with any client.
By 2017 the number of cloud storage users will have grown by over 100% - and the number of paying users by over 450%, making the projected value of the market $38 billion.
Over the past 3 months CloudDock has run extensive marketing campaigns focusing on three initial sectors – Creative Services, Architecture and IT Consultancy, tweaking our acquisition model as we go.
The results have been positive, with major players in each sector, such as those behind me, already signed up.
This work has given us a deep understanding of the most effective routes to each sector, and the cost of acquiring each user, which is €4. Our advertising runs at an average of 40c a click, with a 10% conversion rate.
Today we’re looking to raise 500 thousand euro to enable us to reach 250,000 paying customers, further develop our product for these segments, and move beyond these to the wider, rapidly growing global market.
We have a well-rounded and highly capable team
Scott, our CMO, and has extensive experience in sales and marketing.
Padraic leads the build for CloudDock and has strong experience in software development
My background is in both business and technology, with previous startup experience
Our highly experienced advisory board was chosen to compliment any potential gaps in the team skillset. Gene Murphy, founder of Redeem&Get, is a thought leader in marketing and growth hacking, while John Breslin, founder of Boards.ie and Adverts.ie, is one of Irelands top technical founders, with years of experience in tech startups.
and we’ve achieved a lot to date. Since staring LaunchPad we have built and launched our beta, received over 500 signups and our following is growing by over 80% week on week. CloudDock was a very different product when we started here. Everything we have achieved has been guided by market and customer validation, which has paid off.
Cloud storage won’t be a winner takes all market, and that’s where we fit in. CloudDock is the only company with a dedicated solution like this. We operate in the white space between customers and cloud services, linking them together and easing the pain of cloud fragmentation and spiraling cost. Managing multiple services is the next big headache for CIOs worldwide – and we have the solution. Come by our stand today and see how you can help take CloudDock to the next stage. Thank you.
