Opportunity for the investor

As it is repeatedly emphasized in the Report and Executive Summary, my intention is to find a potential investor who can bring this concept into a reality and grow it into a successful international business, which is selling separately the licence of the software.

The Mission is to develop and invade the international market through the sale of advertising space in the screens of the ATMs, using our proprietary software.

Our company was born in 2003. In 2008 its only competitor was established, I-design, with the brand ATMAd which soon entered the markets of UK, Australia, Canada and recently the USA. This product is not equipped with our technology and has achieved increases turnover by 60-65% per year (signed in 2010 with the partnership Cardtronics and finally bought by the same in March 2013):

This shows that my concept is not a utopia - I have painstakingly built a beautiful car in 2003, which now is fully completed with the keys are in the ignition, and I need someone who knows how to start up and drive it with my contribution as a co-pilot.

There are no restrictions in selling more of 51% of the shares. I would like to continue to work in my venture as a manager giving my contribution to the company and I'm ready to leave Italy and develop the project around the world.

I have just recorded a new version and patented of software 3.02 worldwide.

If you are interested, please get in touch as soon as possible.

Believe me, together we could do very great incomes and challenge Cartronics as a competitor.
