+Is adserving commercially viable?

Hulu will make $240MM in revenue, creating $70MM in profit… all from adserving

+How do you make money adserving?Monetization

of content

Ownership of content

Ad-friendly platform

How much of the content can support targeted adserving? Tying adserving revenue to video serving costs

Retaining the revenue How much of the revenue are you able to retain?

Is the platform engineered to maximized high CPM adserving opportunities?

+Industry ComparisonOwnership of Content

Monetization of Content

Ad-friendly platform

70% of revenue diverted to content creator (Hulu)

10% - 30% of content due to limited knowledge of content (YouTube)

YouTube’s short video length makes placement of video adverts difficult

receiving a royalty-free license from the professors, we will be able to capture 100% of the revenue

TFU develops all of it’s own content, allowing for 100% content monetization

TFU platform design optimized for adserving, lecture length allows for select video advertisements to be placed
