01 / THE QUICK RUNDOWN

What this Play looks like in real life

WHERE THE OPPORTUNITY STARTS

Tech-capable students, retirees, and independent support specialists

WHO YOU SERVE OR SELL TO

THE GAP YOU GET PAID TO CLOSE

Store help can be rushed and phone support can be frustrating. Families pay for a patient person to come to the home and explain everything.

THE INSIDE SCOOP

The family is buying patience and trust. A good visit leaves the device working and the person able to repeat the basic steps tomorrow, without giving a stranger control of passwords or money.

THE MONEY-MAKING GAP

Why somebody pays you
