Company description

Team
My name is Joe Uwazurike (phonetic spelling: you-wazz-ur-rick). At the ripe old age of 20 I have already had plenty of experience in the world of entrepreneurship. My friend Azam Kaliff and I started a succesfull ebay bussiness when I was only 16 buying and selling apparell and low quality electronics from our freinds and family. Now I have graduated high-school and as a sophmore at a local college here in North Carolina I have been steadily working on an MBA degree. But recently I have decided I can't wait any longer to realize all my dreams. My head is brimming with a wide range of ideas that will not only innovate various industries but will provide real lasting value to the consumers that make use of them. That is what Grade: A is all about. Our fledgling company has already won acclaim as a finalist of the YouBeTheVC competition and various local entrepreneurship awards. Right now the only obstacle from bringing our flagship product HereSay to market is seed capital. Get in on the ground floor of next generation innovation from young, outgoing entrepreneurs.
Business model
Our business model will be a dynamic one but based on ad revenue and licensing revenue from marketing companies that want to run campaigns on our platform.  
Competitive advantage
Our proprietary software and monetization techniques, neither of which have been used in the mobile sector.
