While 2021 was about building and refining the ProxyTwin MVP, 2022 was about rolling out ProxyTwins for high profile individuals in public life. National leaders like Nick Coastsworth (the Chief Medical Officer during Covid) and corporate leaders such as Dr Rob Joyce (the CTO of Nokia) commissioned their own ProxyTwins for commercial use, bringing in ProxyTwin’s first revenue streams.
2023 however saw the beginning of Phase 2 in the ProxyTwin masterplan. Scaling ProxyTwin for both mass market private individuals and also enterprise grade solutions for businesses.
ProxyTwin CEO Mark Dando, being invited to speak at the inaugural Sydney version of SXSW, the leading U.S. Tech conference, gave ProxyTwin the perfect opportunity for a public launch, garnering intense interest in the innovation start-up hub from the public and corporates alike over the 5 days.
Next was the launch of our first seed funding round, at Wholesale Investor’s ‘Future Disrupted’ Event. With the aim of raising $1.5m to expedite the enterprise grade version of the ProxyTwin platform, enquiries for at least half of this from private investors have already been received within days of the raise launch.
Most interesting about these first public outings for ProxyTwin was the huge number and variety of use cases both individuals and businesses could imagine for ProxyTwin. The opportunities in 2024 are vast and the value of the markets ProxyTwin is poised to enter are in the multiples of billions. Here are some ways ProxyTwin will be used in the next phase of development:
