PROPOSAL FOR PROJECT SEED FINANCING COMPANY NAME: THE OPPORT LABS CORE BUSINESS: Application development , IT research center and consultancy. Full Names: Mr. Mwiche Simwanza(M) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY About OPPORT LABS: This is a consortium of integrated business and technological innovations in the diverse sectors of industry including web financial systems, environment entertainment and software applications with implementations in anti-piracy, e-security and server technologies of the future. The target markets fro the mentioned innovations will range from standalone end-users to corporate clients within the framework of the proposed developed applications. The innovations are in generic sectors but with unique approach and new concepts thereby ensuring durable competitive edge. It is from this advantage OPPORT that will stem strong sales pushing profit margins and market sustainability and consolidation. The firms investment sources will include Foreign Private Equity Groups and several international institutional investors with an incite into the sector business. The project is already listed on the Irish investment network and Angel Capital markets and interim analysis of the USD 50k required will constitute only about 20% of the total SEED Threshold investment. The raised capital will be utilized in further research, working group integrations as well as licensing and patents. INTRODUCTION OPPORT offices will based in UKand it?? established will be in the H2 of this year. It will be a parent company with subsidiaries in consultancy and research integration. It will employ about 15 employees in software development, analysis and management deploying software packages to the target markets with an emphasis on innovation thereby opening new markets and new avenues of revenue in the software market. The target markets are standalone end-users and corporate clients in the vertical market with a market strategy propelled by Independent Software Vendors(ISV) and retailers stemming optimum sales through profitable volumes and customer satisfaction. My short term goal is the establishment of OPPORT as a leading software development Corporation as well as a central technology research center in the region. The vision for the long term will be for OPPORT to become major market player in specialized systems on the global market, providing not only viable solutions to the market but to ordinary citizens through skills training and self-sufficiency programs. MARKET DYNAMICS The software market is a vibrant and dynamic industry with an impetus of innovation and end-user centrality, hence tremendous opportunities lie exposed to market players proficient in delivery mechanisms(marketing/sales)and the ones that possess a durable innovative edge. It has become an investment haven for global investors as it is sector barely driven by speculative or macro-economic factors but by man?? seemingly insatiable appetite for solutions in the digital world framework. The industry is well developed with market leaders like Microsoft, Apple and Accenture having Net turnover rate growth averaging about 10% annually. It?? with such market fundamental insights that OPPORT will thrive as it?? strategic core on emphasizing on Group Development I business and innovation with the aim of expanding it?? intellectual faculties to new horizons and possibilities , both in the working and daily life. Threats: As in every area of business, a few threats exist against OPPORTand they include; Financial Risks- With the current irregularities in the financial markets, NRTech can be affected directly if potential stakeholders fail to execute the financial obligations in the budget plan due to the current credit deficits .This will turn lead to procrastinative effects on certain budget implementations and objectives. Market Risks- Fluctuations in the market also exist due to the volatile state of the markets both to the up and downside of the spectrum. This threat will be controlled by outsourcing about 60-70% of all applications with well developed market I this sector like SAP, Accenture and Infosys. This approach will not only speed up the development lifecycles, but will, also align the NRTech Brand as competent software market solutions provider. Other factors include lack of synergic factors in the region??
