COMPANY DESCRIPTION: LoveEnsure™ (Relationship Technologies LLC):
LoveEnsure™ is a breakthrough marriage (committed relationship) saving/enrichment internet startup with
• A finished beta tested application
• Finished business plan and financials (recently reached semi-finals for UC Berkeley Business Plan competition
• A recent successful meeting with a 45 million member strategic partner
• An upcoming meeting with one of the nation’s largest HMOs
• A CFO and a talented strategic partner/investor consultant
• A founder with a decently successful entrepreneurial background
• A very optimistic venture consultant, given the recent successful strategic partnership meeting
LoveEnsure provides couples with a web-application-based “ongoing interactive relationship-management” tool or service. In pioneering this market via the internet, we envision Love-Insure™ becoming as much the portal of choice for couples as match.com is for singles. LoveEnsure™ draws on the latest most definitive research on long lasting happy marriages, and on some of the best practices for saving marriages on the verge of divorce.
LoveEnsure is intended to be the most ongoing, accessible, procrastination-minimizing, individually tailored, and most cost-effective tool for enriching, strengthening, and thereby divorce and affair-proofing committed relationships today.
The potential market :
• the 15%-20% of the 65 million couples (in USA alone) dissatisfied with their marriages
• the possibly equally large percentage of moderately satisfied couples wishing to make their marriages even better
• couples just starting out (e.g. via YahooPersonals or Match.com) afraid of the relationship fizzling
• businesses like health corporations who pay for marital therapy sessions,
• marital therapists, pastors, rabbis, priests
• several other large demographics
• and much more that can create equally large or larger revenue streams(that is confidential)
Proceeds: All surplus revenues under founder’s control will go to fund progressive causes especially causes to increase democracy and also to stop GLOBAL WARMING. (A portion of profits could also go to your own favorite cause as well.)
Technical Specifications:
> The application is 95%-98 percent finished. We have the code, and the designer has just completed the shells etc in html needing to be mated with the application (approximately 30hrs)
˙ Some minor changes in coding need to be done that should not take more than about 6-12 hrs for a pro.
˙ The code is well documented, and mostly in asp for websites, with data base, some JV, VB script, SQL for the data base
˙ The engineer (Jeremy) used Style Sheet
> We need someone to take over from him, because he now has demanding fulltime high paying job, 1 yr old, and dealing with sickness
REQUIREMENTS
1) signing, notarizing (unless witnessed by one of our colleagues), and faxing back non disclosure, and able to start immediately,
2) proof you have the necessary competence in ASP and Java. Backend is in Sql. There is some VB script, and it is documented.
3) Able to start ASAP and work almost fulltime.
4) Preferred but not req'd: evidence of social/environmental justice concern
5) Creativity and comfort communicating by phone--not minding a daily check in or call from me
6) Being easily accessible by phone, since director does not live on his computer
DUTIES:
1)mating the design work with the application ( could take 30-50hrs)
2) communicating well with me and the designer
3) making about 6 additional hours of coding (for adding or improving functionality)
TIMING: we hope to have our major launch by mid May to exploit June, the biggest month for weddings and anniversaries, and when midterm elections will be heating up.
Pay: Contract would stipulate following
• $600-900 initially (range depends on further donations expected),
• plus an additional $2-3k (depending on hours put in, if need additional functionality from current status) after investor funding or revenue reaches $25k, whichever comes first (there would be contract).
• In addition, if the original engineer continues to be unavailable, you would be first to be hired for ongoing improvements to the site (adding new features), developing spinoffs for family and business, which could become fulltime job paying at least $75k/yr
• And/or first right of refusal for managing Love-Insure’s website at competitive salary if desired.
(None of the initial investment/donations will be going to the founder/creator of the program until all debts to developers and designers and researchers have been paid: We are all into this project to make a difference in the world--to seriously improve and divorce/affair-proof marriages, and help save the planet.)
Founder/CEO background: Gary Krane PhD has a good track record raising funds for progressive causes over the past 25 years, having raised over $1.5 million for films, candidates, saving Pacifica Radio, and other non-profits, including major players in the voter verified paper ballots movement .
