Business Description

Collabr is a social network for the arts and entertainment communities by giving creatives a customized platform to promote their work, build their audiences, interact with their fans, and collaborate with each other.

Tailored specifically to the needs of artists, Collabr’s network can instantly connect you to other talented creators. Are you a photographer in need of an editor? A director looking for an actor, dancer, and make-up artist? How about a comedian looking for a sketch writer? We feature artists of all mediums, even the most niche. Having a wide network of artists makes it easy to create together. Assemble your creative team, combine your skills, and produce your next masterpiece.



Problem

The entertainment world still relies on outdated methods in order to make a name for yourself. Most creatives still rely on word of mouth and recommendations. When one tries to promote themselves on other social media platforms, they get buried by ads and influencers before getting a chance to be noticed. This prevents them from being able to make the vital connections one needs to be able to thrive as an artist and provides a lack of inspiration and motivation. When you need to collaborate with other creatives but can’t find the necessary skills, it stops you from being able to finish your next masterpiece. There has been no unified network in which to search for creative individuals based on artistic skills and location. We want to be able to promote a unified creative vision instead of having to walk away with “artistic differences”. With the impact of covid-19, many creatives have been forced out of work with no foresight on prospects or stability. There needs to be a platform to sustain creatives and allow them to thrive in a virtual world.


Solution

Enter Collabr. Tailored specifically to the needs of artists, Collabr’s network can instantly connect you to other talented creators. Tired of the same-old “social media friendly” art that you keep seeing everywhere? Stuck in a creative block and unable to find something to inspire you? Join Collabr and discover ground-breaking new artists and performers to follow. Search using hashtags to find your next inspiration, then start following artists to see all their latest posts and current collabs.

When you need to start a new creative project but don’t have the right skills to execute it, search to find other artists and creatives to collaborate with. Look for your next lead actor, set designer, or video editor easily by searching by usertags. Finding exactly who you need for your next creative project has never been simpler! And with the geo-location feature, you can search locally or internationally for exactly the right person.

Once you’ve found the right creative people for your project, start working together on a Collab! Our unique in-app feature makes it easy for you to add and edit photos, videos, and audio files together all in one place. Communication tools make it easy to brainstorm, plan, and execute your creative vision. If you want to start a band through Collabr, you can combine musicians, a sound engineer, and an album artist all in one collab! The opportunities are endless!

You can build and engage your audience. Simply upload what you’re working on to your portfolio, whether its audio, video, or image files, and instantly get international exposure! Add hashtags to your work to help display your creations.

The creators of Collabr are creatives themselves, so they know the ups and downs of the artist’s life. Collabr was developed with the intention of helping artists overcome the obstacles of working in the arts and entertainment industries. By staying connected with other creatives and potential clients, Collabr supports artists of all mediums to excel at their craft and bolster their careers. We’re here to help you reach your creative dreams. What will we create together?


Business Model

The target market is inclusive of the Arts, Entertainment, and Creative industries whose numbers are vast and continuously growing. The online US creative market is estimated to incorporate more than 27 million individuals, valued at $6.8B per year, with annual growth rates of 17%. These are all individuals looking to collaborate on creative projects, promote their works, build their networks, and celebrate their artistic achievements.

The business revenues are targeted to reach US $24.8 Million by the fifth year of operation, with Operating margins of 16.7%. The fan base is expected to exceed 4 million, of which more than 95% are freemium subscribers with the remainder being active subscribers. Monetization is derived from premium subscribers as well as additional revenue streams such as ad revenue, marketplace commission, premium features, and live streaming sales.


Traction & Customers

Upon Collabr’s launch, the app averaged about 1,000 new users every month with continued traction projected to increase the growth rate by 500%. Collabr has already achieved a growth rate of 4 times greater than its initial third-party projections and is on track to continue at or surpass this rate. The retention rate of onboarded users is 10 times the rate of the industry average for social media apps. Collabr already has a global reach spanning over 20+ countries. Collabr has also been featured on multiple news outlets and obtained media coverage.


Investors

Collabr has secured and committed over $100,000 through investment networks, CEOs, and industry professionals. We are excited to announce that we also just received celebrity endorsement and investment based out of the Caribbean.

Market Projection

Top Line Highlights:

Revenue Volumes are set on rational targets to step foot in the creative platform market.
Freemium fan base is targeted to reach 4 Million by the fifth year of operations, achieving a 5 year CAGR of 44%. Paid subscribers base is conservatively projected not to exceed 1% of freemium fan base.
Advertising income is expected to be a core contributor to revenues, supported by the concentrated fan base within the creative industries.
Total revenues are expected to grow from $3.9Million in the first year of operations to reach $24.2Million in the fifth year

Bottom Line Highlights

Marketing expenses are projected to be the main cost contributor throughout the forecast period, contributing almost 90% of total costs.
The Client Acquisition Cost (CAC) is projected to grow throughout the forecast period to ensure the fan base establishes Collabr’s brand within the creative collaboration market. CAC will grow from $1.1 in Year 1 to reach almost $10 in year 5. However, the increasing CAC is expected to be covered by the healthy Lifetime Value (LTV) of the Client, which is expected to hover around $285 per annum.
The Growing fan base will support healthy margins with an LTV/CAC ratio above 7x, which will ensure rewarding valuation for investors at any exit scenario.
