The Unknown Opportunity That Emerges From the Bridgetheye App

The Bridgetheye app started off as a proof of concept because we always wanted to get into the B2B side of the company and make the Ubers and tutors of the world work without the internet. Then there was this realization that it's actually even with internet infrastructure. So suddenly, then this is again sort of the entrepreneurial news unlocking this other unforeseen opportunity. And so right now our goal for the next few months is to make people use Bridget heye more.

Speaker 1
No,
Speaker 2
that's why we're asking. So, so, so, and I appreciate you having the conversation around that. But it sounds like so you went through this one pivot where there's this opportunity that emerged, which was around really using Bridgetheye in these situations and areas that you couldn't have predicted before. It sounds like you're also hinting out that there's like another pivot that seems to have emerged as well. We're not only is it useful in war torn areas, but that actually the there's, there's other use cases that are now on the horizon that you guys are thinking about supporting. Can you explain how that now has emerged or what is that.
Speaker 1
Yeah, definitely. So, the Bridgetheye app, we're never going to decide what is being used for, but the Bridgetheye is the technology that we licensed. That's what you meet. Right.
Speaker 2
Yeah, or whatever, or I guess I guess what's on the horizon now. It sounds like, it sounds like we were saying what unlocked before was that people were just using it for messaging when they didn't have internet infrastructure. Then there was this realization that it's actually even with internet infrastructure. It's a better, oh, yeah, security and privacy from other sources. So suddenly, then this is again sort of the entrepreneurial news unlocking this other unforeseen opportunity. I was I was trying I was wondering if there was something along how
Speaker 1
you discovered that. Yeah, definitely. So the Bridgetheye app started off as a proof of concept because we always wanted to get into the B2B side of the company and make the Ubers and tutors of the world work without the internet. But then the app started growing up. And so we it's it's stopped being a proof of concept. And now it's a one of our two verticals. And so right now our goal for the next few months is to make people use Bridgetheye more. So we want people to use Bridgetheye not only when they don't have access to the internet, not only when there's a protest or an event or when they're at school, but also throughout the whole day. So we are going to release a version of the Bridgetheye app that will contain internet and non internet capabilities so that you will be able to use Bridgetheye 24 seven and then should you use access to the internet, you're good. You don't need to switch apps like you need to do with it. Let's say what time for signal and telegram. They stop working. You need to switch to Bridgetheye. Well, what we want is for people to just fall in love with Bridgetheye and make it as safe as we can add all the cool features that all the other apps have. And so, not necessarily replace the other apps, but be a better alternative. Be an alternative that people can use all day. Regardless of whether they have access to the internet or not. And we feel this is going to be huge in regions like Latin America, like Africa is how they station. Okay.
