1. FBFC Inc.
One Line Pitch: It’s like Facebook, for cats.
Business Summary: FBFC, Inc. provides a
one-stop online community for cat owners and
enthusiasts with a compelling gamification
angle.
Management:FBFC was founded by CEO John
Doe and COO, Jane Doe. Mr. Doe holds an
MBA and brings perspective as a cat owner and
serial entrepreneur.The Board of Directors
consists of investor Bob Smith of Cat Ventures
LLC, the founders, and independent director
and cat industry insider Jennifer Jones.
Customer Problem: U.S. cat owners spend
billions of dollars on their cats, and countless
hours reviewing content in three categories: 1)
cat care and training tips, 2) funny/cute cat
videos & pictures, and 3)product reviews. Not
only is the amount of money and time
prohibitive to owning the optimal amount of
cats, but until now there has been no way to
easily compete with other cat owners to prove
who has the best cats and is the best owner.
