This document summarizes a platform that allows users to create customized maps of communities and interests. It started with 20,000 unique users and 18,000 monthly alerts. The platform has since received many requests to build maps for different interests around the world. The document outlines the business model, which includes organizing map data and monetizing through advertising, premium listings, and a potential SAAS model. It provides a timeline showing past pilots and plans for future mobile and discovery features. The team is seeking $1M in funding to further develop their self-service platform.
