Risks & Precautions

Risks & Precautions


Risks
Low barriers to entry; new
competitors

Lack of user commitment

Low user referral rate

Existing competitors adding similar


features

Slow initial growth

Mitigate

Precautions
Develop name brand to assure high
market penetration and growth rates;
patent proprietary technologies
Leverage high value, low time
investment proposition for users;
develop user community

Push high monetary value of utilizing


suggestions; offer multiple choices
Technology patents filed;
feature set would be difficult to
integrate with a boxed product
Utilize management teams superior
know-how and clear viral marketing
potential to ensure growth

Competitive Response
Microsoft

Result

Attempts to copy MyMints


website and business model

Delays Microsoft
market entry and
increases costs

Leverages brand name and


market reach

User base safe,


competition for new
users may occur

MyMint
Enforce patent protection of
proprietary technology

Satisfied users have little


incentive to switch

Extensive experience and


software specialization

No advantage

Highly experienced
management team

Synergies with current


software such as Quicken

MyMint offers a
unique product

Technology extends beyond


reach of existing software
