Risks & Precautions


Risks
Low barriers to entry; new competitors

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

Lack of user commitment

Low user referral rate

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

Existing competitors adding similar features

Slow initial growth

Attempts to copy MyMints website and business model

Result
Delays Microsoft market entry and increases costs User base safe, competition for new users may occur

Extensive experience and software specialization

No advantage

Highly experienced management team

Synergies with current software such as Quicken

MyMint offers a unique product
