The Executive Summary

 

 

WindsorSoft is a GPS mapping software firm located in Cambridge, MA established in November 2000 by 2 computer scientists, Jack Welch and Rebecca Rea.  Mr. Welch has 10 years of experience in GPS navigation technologies as well as 8 years in senior marketing management.  Ms. Rea is a Harvard graduate with a PhD. in computer science, with 5 years of work experience as a Director of Product Development with a large software manufacturer.  Rebecca has established a competent team of 3 very dedicated people who love to work with navigation technology.

 

WindsorSoft LLP is a limited partnership with a 50/50 split between Ms. Rea and Mr. Welch.  The company is concentrated on developing niche GPS mapping software for military and aeronautical applications, with 3 patents pending.  Currently the company has beta programs with Lockheed Martin as well as the Canadian and U.S. armed forces.   WindsorSoft requires $1.5 million dollars debt investment to purchase more equipment and to create a professional sales staff.  The current total assets under WindsorSoft equal 1.6 million dollars with gross sales this past year of $950,000.

 

The $1.5 million investment is intended to help focus the partners’ attention to product development.  The planned equipment purchase that equals $900,000 will decrease the timeline for product development.  A dedicated professional sales staff will decrease the burden on the partners for nurturing current and prospective sales opportunities, and allow them to focus on their core strengths, product development.  The budgeted projection for developing a sales staff is $600,000.

 

Based on current sales and projects in development for the company we expect to receive an additional $3 million in retainers and service contracts.  The projected growth for the industry, based on the previous years is 40%.  WindsorSoft will be expanding its business with new equipment and employees to meet that demand.  Projected 5 year gross revenue equals $15 million.

 

The $1.5 million in investment will be required for December 1st, 2002 closing.  Repayment of the loan investment, plus interest, can begin by February 2003, over a 5-year timeline.  Early retirement of the loan is expected.  In addition to the current assets under WindsorSoft LLP, the investment can be further secured by the partners’ personal home equity, which is $700,000.

Marketing Plan

 

 

 

Café Domingos, is located in Montreal within a very affluent community within the Old City.  The restaurant/hospitality industry in this part of town is a $1 billion industry, while the café businesses account for 10% of that, equaling $100 million.  Café Domingos, will be a high-end French style café and hot table establishment, catering primarily to the local market, business travelers, tourists within the area, as well as offering a catering service. 

 

Café Domingos will be situated within a high volume center, offering Parisian specific specialties, quite different from the local offerings.  The chef is a former owner of a successful café in Paris, with over 15 years experience. 

 

The target market consists of 20 to 45 year old males and females, college educated, $40k +annual income earners with a taste for fine pastries, coffees and cuisine.  While the majority of the traffic will be form tourists within the Old City, 30 to 45% are expected to be local consumers.  Our strategy is also focused on nurturing these relationships with the local community.  Within a 15 mile radius, there is a local target market of 150,000 people, while within a 8 mile radius the tourist population accounts for 200,000.

 

Premium pricing structure will be used.  Direct marketing, local promotions and special events will all be used to penetrate the market.  Loyalty programs will also be created with local residents and hotels.

 

There are two direct competitors within the area, and many indirect competitors ranging from coffee shops to non-French cuisine restaurants. 

 

The café will be provide all of the coffee and pastries, as an exclusive caterer, to a local hotel with 450 room capacity.  This will provide a steady cash flow level initially, with which to further develop and nurture the retail café outlet.  The initial investment, will be applied to the equipment and supplies for fulfilling this contract.
