What problem(s) are you solving?
- Social networks have too much control... censorship, demonetization, skewed search rankings, anti-competitive monopolistic behavior all geared to their and interests and agenda.
- Content Creators have too little control.... We want to give it back.
- Browsers have all become homogeneous - Chrome, Edge and Firefox are nearly identical in functionality.
- Search based browsing often leads to narrow thinking....Discovery needs to be more prominent in the browser.
- Broadcasting is time consuming, and requires means and skills beyond that of the novice.
- Promotion to rise to Page 1 is only possible for a small number of links.
- Email needs an overhaul. Attaching video and other large files to email just doesn’t work and spam is out of control.
What is your solution?
Veamcast combines a browser with a multimedia messaging/publishing system.
Messaging/Publishing:
- A VEAM is a playlist and can consist of video, audio, pics, files, links and predefined scripts.
- They can be recorded in the app, attached or linked from anywhere on the web.
- These can be send directly to your contacts or published to channels.
- A Veamcast channel is a collection of these and can be themed and sponsored.
Browsing:
- Veamcast is an alternative browser based on the Microsoft WebView2 control. It uses the same engine as Edge and Chrome.
- It allows anyone to create and/or share anything with anyone or everyone.
- It allows everyone to rate, comment about and share any public content on the Internet. It suggests and lets you suggest great content from anywhere.
- It also allows you to report content as offensive, false information, fake news, biased or illegal and this info will be available to everyone including law enforcement and will include forums and comments.
What is the current status of the software?
- Browsing functions are more recent and less complete.
- Composing and sending playlists (VEAMS) is functional in both Windows and Android (Xamarin so iOS will follow).
- Viewers for Windows, Andriod and Roku are functional prototypes and will be revamped to all use the samecode base and can stand alone (viewed on any server).
- All design need attention and review.
- Publishing VEAMS to channels is functional in Windows.
- Creating very simple ad campaigns is functional in Windows.
What are Veamcast's plans for the future?
short term:
- Immediately upon funding, we plan to establish a presence in the Dumagette City area and re-establish our OJT program. Our OJT program will be the core of our recruitment and training program. We will establish a task based system to compensate OJTs and provide them with services to enhance their education. This will give us an educated, motivated work force that can be inflated and deflated quickly.
- We will globally seek out top technical talent to participate in our mentor program.
- We will expand our development operations to finish, hone and launch the software.
- We will globally seek and hire top marketing and business development talent to establish our revenue models and execute upon them as soon as possible.
