1. Serious Language Learners Employees / Workers High School / University Students 1. For exams 1. Job requirement 2. Career enhancement 2. Going overseas Unmotivated 3. For job prospects Learners This group is much smaller, but willing to spend 10
2. Socializers Interest in learning languages: not high Students and employees who: - know it will help with exams - know it will help career prospects - want more self-confidence with foreigners BUT more interested in other things, and lack motivation. Big Motivator = Socializing Much larger group, less willing to spend on average, but total spend is huge 11
3. Travellers Hello Pal also caters to people who like to travel, especially backpackers. Main concept: Make local friends BEFORE travelling Benefits: • Get recommendations and help when planning trip • Start learning simple phrases • Finding hosts to stay with • Finding someone who can take you around while there Hosts also benefit by being able to meet foreign friends, practice speaking foreign languages, and showing hospitality. 12
Capitalising on Current Trends • Globalization – Companies increasingly having to cater to international market • Growth in Messaging Apps – Social networking expanding beyond Facebook to messaging apps such as; WhatsApp, Snapchat, WeChat, etc. • Mobile apps User activities expanding beyond websites and desktop software to mobile apps • E-learning / Mobile learning Like many other sectors, education sector is starting to experience disruption by online services and mobile utilization of services Hello Pal is at the right place at the right time 13
Case in Point – MOMO Inc. • Social app in China (now the third largest behind WeChat and QQ) • Location-based, for meeting new friends • 78 million monthly active users • Listed on NASDAQ at end of 2014 • Current valuation of US $3Bn • Turned profitable less than two years after first generating sales • Branching out into creating mobile games • Its market still confined to within China Proven market demand, proven business model 14
Our Direction / Strategy Focus on Social / Fun / Games – Socializing is primary focus, language learning is more a ‘by - product’; but we think that, ironically, it’s the better long term way to learn. – Games to enhance socializing, not just for learning – Chat is a core feature, not a supplementary one Target Travel crowd – Our direction is highly complementary to traveling crowd, especially ‘couchsurfers’ and backpackers, who are more social and keen to meet locals – Marketing campaigns to target this crowd, including Air BnB, TripAdvisor, Lonely Planet, etc. We have a unique / different strategy to competitors 15
