CEO ANSWERS: Questions to ask CEO
GET READY FOR THIS TO POP HARDDD
Please keep in mind the initial answer is the CEO’s followed by my insight from his answers. Remember if his answers are vague they need to be as he is legally bound by the S-1 filing (he couldn’t discuss strategy). Im going to list the questions and the answers below.
1. Endorsements (Celebrity/Athlete/Pornstar)
CEO – Not ready to reach out. It’s a lot harder than it looks. We have done it in the past so we have experience and know how to do so when the time is right. We know the value of having an endorsement
Me – All their ducks aren’t currently lined up. They would like some more pieces to fall in place first. It sounds like they will be pursuing this in the not so distant future. Get ready for a boat load of new downloads; 5M here we come
2. Android app
CEO – Can’t comment on it directly; quiet period. But I can tell you this, we are an app company and we realize the importance of having one. We don’t plan on only being IOS specific forever
Me – They are currently building one as we speak. It will be announced soon
3. Affiliate program
CEO – Not ready to launch.
Me – It takes time to launch one. A lot of variables to work out; fraud, payments, relationships. Would like to have an android app first so we they can offer a complete program. Another 1-2M new downloads from this program
4. Partnership programs (STVI partners with Match.com)
CEO – We are always looking
Me – They have some partnerships lined up but couldn’t comment on them directly
5. CEO interview with media outlets (Techcrunch/Mashable etc)
CEO – I would like to get very active in pursuing this
Me – After the quiet period expect him to get more vocal within the media. Has to sort everything out with Beaufort
6. University/College Ambassador Program (Just like Tinder)
CEO – We will be exploiting the current URLs for this program. It is coming, this has a lot of potential
Me – Giddy up as this is how Tinder got started
7. Majors obstacles to over come
CEO - How fast can we scale the user base – population density vs local users.
Me – What this mean is that in order to monetize the local user base in certain GEOs is they need to have enough users to be able to secure local deals from merchants and the merchants needs to be able to see if they will see an ROI on the deal they offer to the users. End of the day it’s a numbers game for local GEOs to secure deals for the users, which in return is revenue for iHookup
8. Attract attention of Wall St investors
CEO – That strategy is coming
Me – After the quiet period, I think Wall St will be paying us a boat load of attention. Expect a MASSIVE POP
9. LTV and CPA targets
CEO – Can’t comment, quite period. As we have publically mentioned that user acquisition is top priority
Me – They are trying to get their LTV as high as possible with the lowest cost per acquisition
10. Advertising strategies ie with Forest Media
CEO – Quiet period
Me – They are going to continue what they have been doing. They are working towards the 100K downloads monthly
11. A/S reduction
CEO – We like to keep as many options available to us.
Me – Since I don’t have their strategy in front of me, I can’t comment directly. But if I had to guess as this is a major concern to current shareholders, I wouldn’t be surprise if they made an announcement that they were reducing the A/S
12. How long is the 5M from Beaufort going to last?
CEO – Can’t comment on that directly but I can say we are always entertaining offers. What this means is we can’t do a similar deal to Beaufort. We can always still raise more money when we need it.
Me – Sounds like they are going to be flush with money and they will be hitting the ground hard in the next couple of months. Just wait till we hit 1M users per month
