The document proposes a mobile app called Wideo that allows users to crowdsource event photos and videos. It will combine user-uploaded content with content from events users could not attend, addressing a problem of limited access to experiences of events. The app will initially generate revenue from sponsored event coverage and later from suggested events and as a platform for developers. It provides team biographies and outlines plans for development, testing, and release of the iOS app in early 2012 with a web app to follow in mid-2012.
