FEASIBILITY

Market Feasibility

A lot of events are

organized in Dhaka city,

from concerts to seminars

to food based events.

New event organizing

companies are coming

up.

Currently, organisers often

cannot provide relevant

information in time to enough of

the targeted segment.

Technical Feasibility

Some Features are Present

in EventBrite Already.

Facebook already

utilizes Paid Reach.

Positive Recommendations from

Software Developer Contacts

Financial Feasibility

EXIT STRATEGY

If targeted number of

installs not achieved in

beta, continue until end of

Year 1.

If Results are still

unsatisfactory, we will

exit the business.

Consider selling off to

investors in case of

management crisis.
