It will connect its customers with experiences, products, services, brands and content in such a relevant way no other medium ever has before. Designed for all genders and ages, Living Manual will empower you at virtually any stage or turning point of your life’s journey and your life’s context, to transform every experience into an opportunity for growth and discovery of your best and most authe
ntic self. Our personal lifestyle management tools, suite of applications and highly personalized content and commerce layer will not only be radically different from any existing planners, journals and shopping catalogs through its state-of-the-art and radically innovative user interface, but also its ability to filter complex information and turn "data" into knowledge and thus enable you to manage your life, time and priorities in the most meaningful way. Over time, Living Manual will get to know you and become essentially an expression of your true self and thus inspiring you to unfold your best self, now. For the first time you will gain complete control over your utmost personal information because your deep user profile will be represented by your digital alter ego or avatar that will act on your behalf. The settings of that profile will be always accessible to you: while content and shopping will be highly personalized—all based on your preferences and usage patterns, you decide which information will be shared with others and when—both with your social network and marketers. Furthermore, all matching will occur behind the walled garden of Living Manual. We just have incorporated my Delaware corporation Living Manual, Inc., and are ready to assemble the core team. Founder stock is reserved for those who are passionate about changing the Internet—yet again for the better. As a “designer” founder* I am looking for engineering and business counterparts. (*it is worthwhile to point out that designer founders are getting very positive press these days, see Fast Company article attached—http://www.fastcodesign.com/1665795/silicon-valleys-new-secret-weapon-designers-who-found-startups),
As a designer I am passionate about crafting elegant, simple applications that delight and make a difference in people’s lives. I’ve put emotionally engaging products in the hands of millions while at Apple and eBay. My work exhibits simplicity, consistency, stylistic breadth, attention to detail, balanced beauty, innovation, usability, deep visceral satisfaction and business results. My love for media and brands culminates with Living Manual. We also invite selected investors to participate in our seed stage of funding. The prospect of getting an evaluation beyond the 1.5 billion mark within 18 months after product launch is a reality we can accomplish due to anticipated rapid user growth and many channels for monetization. Many big brands will use Living Manual to enhance their online interactions with consumers in an unparalleled engaging way.
