Company Overview

!2

• Mutual Interest is an online dating platform that allows users to approach individuals of interest within their own network without the fear of rejection. The MI platform works by the user anonymously indicating interest in someone they know (a coworker, classmate and/or longtime friend) with identities being unlocked only when that interest is returned. Our goal is to unlock hidden attraction and let the users take it from there as to what the attraction means and what next steps to take.

• Available for iPhone, Android, and Internet Browsers

• Founded in Tampa, FL in October 2012

The Problem

!4

• The fear of rejection in asking out someone in your network.

• Many missed connections due to mutual approach anxiety.

• Embarrassment or damaged relationships from expressing unreciprocated interest.

- Touchy Situations: Close friends, Colleagues, Classmates, a friend's ex, etc.

I wish I knew if he liked me!

There's no way she'd be

interested...

Missed Opportunity• Misrepresentation and deception (catfishing) on traditional

dating sites is becoming more of a publicized issue. • Ie.) Manti Te'o, MTV's Catfish

• Large financial and time commitment to find matches

• Lengthy profile setup, compatibility testing and profile browsing.

Competitive Advantage

!5

• One of the few online platforms that facilitates the natural way people connect - within ones network

• Unlike existing platforms, parties do not need to be registered to be contacted

• Promotes viral growth

• Misrepresentation and deception are non-issues because users are only interacting with people they already know.

• Catfishing, sexual predators, etc.

• No need to waste time setting up or browsing endless profiles. • User already knows who they are looking for• Quality of users is a non issue. Interaction occurs with people you

know• No need for profiles set up or information gathering to assess

compatibility
