This is a pitch prepared for Startup weekend West Michigan. We're in need of a developer who is interested in partnership.

1. Buying Club Software
Why you will want to invest in this application

2. Bulk Buying Power
We’ve been doing this for a long time

3. Health Food
Co-operatives of people join together for bulk
discounts: Buying Clubs

4. The Problems
Orders are collected in an off-line
manner (Email, Fax, Phone, mail)
Coordinators spend so much time doing
repeated tasks that they only offer one
distributor or vendor
Coordinators struggle with accounting
Members cannot consult previous orders

5. The Solution
Develop a hosted software solution which:
Allows members to complete entire order
online
Allows searching of vendors’ products
Provides invoicing & AR
Is a single utility to run/manage a buying
club in an easy way

6. Buying Club Stats
Over 2,000 UNFI buying clubs east of
the Mississippi
Over 1,500 Frontier Buying Clubs
Over 1,500 Tree of Life Buying Clubs
Average Buying Clubs have 15-30
members
Over 100 Buying Clubs in Metro Grand
Rapids alone

7. The Competition
UNFI offers an online ordering system
Cannot check historical orders/no AR
Cannot order from another distributor
West Michigan Co-Op Software
Cannot order from non-local sources
(aka national vendors)
Foodclub. org -- not user friendly

8. Pricing/Revenue Options
$1/member/month
5,000 clubs, avg 25 members =$1.5
million/year
Alternative future revenue sources
Ads targeted based on users’ purchase
history
Selling sanitized customer
information, product preference etc.

9. The Current Team
Marketing Coordinator
Club Coordinator
Accountant
SysAdmin

10. This Weekend
