In our busy world,
timing is everything.
“Mum has been on her own for 3
months since dad died after 62
years together. […]
She doesn't like to ring up every
night as she knows we have been
busy working all day.”	
  
Timing is about avoiding
disappointment
& friction.
“I am deploying to
Afghanistan and would love
to [share my presence] with
my husband back home in
the States.“	
  
Timing is knowing that
someone is ok regardless
of connectivity.
“We’ve spent our whole lives
missing calls &
as [my parents] get older
it becomes more important
to keep in touch”	
  
Timing is about caring.
“My girlfriend currently lives
in Brazil & I live in Arizona”	
  
Timing isn’t about
timezones.
We are making sharing your
presence & availability
Easy

7 things I would have
done differently.
1. Patent before you
kickstart
2. Kickstart after
you’ve got
investment
3. Minimum viable
budget is £50K
4. Prototypes are
better than images
5. People want to
touch products
before they buy
6. People invest in
what they
understand
7. Telcos are the most
interested parties
8. Telcos are the
