Next up was Mario Vladovic, who was introduced as the CEO of InovationPARK. He is seeking investment in a seed round.

Mario began by explaining that many business entities purchase countless apps to make business analyses and help business growth, but most apps are not connected and are hard to analyze. Mario and his team are aiming to solve this complication by introducing VISIO, an integrated business platform with all functionalities needed in day-to-day operations. "It's ERP on steroids" Mario began. "Our solution is to have all the parts of every business, from the CRM, Accounting HR Planners, and Time Management, and have it together in one platform." Mario further explained. VISIO offers three disruptive solutions, in direct sales, time management, and HR management, supported by education and training using AI and machine learning. This can give VISIO a substantial competitive edge as well. In terms of the revenue model, Mario shared that the platform is SaaS with monthly subscriptions with a few levels, competitive pricing, and pay-what-you-use features. As for the market opportunity, Mario shared that the global market is over $ 207 billion which is quite extensive. "In 5 to 10 years we want to achieve $1 billion in revenue" Mario added. After sharing VISIO's competitive analysis and financial metrics, Mario clarified the plans for the investment. Tushar once again engaged in an insightful discussion to explore VISIO's funding roadmap and capital usage, as well as how they hope to streamline themselves amongst SMEs rather than corporate giants.

Last up was Steve Bidinger who has been invited to the platform numerous times. Steve is the Founder and CEO of Skai Beauty Inc., and he is seeking investment in a pre-seed round.

Steve began by introducing SKAI. "It's a D2C brand that is focused on salon-quality products, including hair care that we make in Italy and hair color that we make in Japan" Steve explained. Nearly 50 million people in Japan tend to have their hair colored, half in salons, the balance at home. SKAI has launched hair care and color products in Japan that are clean, sustainable, and salon-quality, for at-home use. The goal is to make consumers feel clean and confident. Steve plans to expand to China and enter 10-15 markets, offering multiple product categories such as hair care and skin care. Steve added, "If we get just 1% of the market, that would equal our 5-year sales goal of $60 million, so 250,000 consumers buying our set on average about eight times a year". Skai uses natural ingredients, It's ICEA and vegan-certified, and the packaging is created out of bioplastic sugarcane. "We have arranged manufacturing with world-class partners. Two in Italy, three in Japan, one in China" Steve explained. SKAI has online distributions with Shopify and Amazon and was a nominee for the 2022 Sustainable Cosmetic Award. Before concluding, Tushar, engaged in a quick Q&A on how SKAI is and will be positioned in different markets and the product ingredients used.

Finally, Max asked all the pitchers the ultimate question "Why should an investor invest in your businesses?"

Tantan explained that he has an efficient team and extensive e-commerce experience, with a deep understanding of the industry's challenges and growth potential, particularly in Asia.

Mario then shared that VISIO's on schedule to revamp business applications and truly digitize, there's an opportunity to keep pace with modern technologies, including AI, to create a scalable and universally applicable application.
