True-to-Life Social Media

REASONS TO INVEST
Vlogmi was developed to meet the needs of next-generation creators and consumers looking for positive social media experiences. Rather than boosting highly curated content, our platform promotes in-the-moment videos and images, uploaded by everyday users.
Social media is a massive industry that continues to grow year-by-year. Our total addressable market is estimated to be about $224B and comprises approximately 4.7 billion users worldwide*
Our proprietary AdTech platform will provide INCENTIVIZED advertisements, allowing creators to monetize their profiles through non-intrusive advertisements supported by fans.
*Total addressable market calculated internally by Vlogmi using information provided by Business of Apps & Smart Insights (source, source)
**Information provided by IronSource (source)
*Vlogmi is currently in beta and available on the App Store.
Social Media Created for Connecting, Not Comparing
Vlogmi is a social media network built to equip our users with the tools they need to capture moments and connect deeper with the people in life that matter the most to them. We believe current social platforms have made us more anti-social - Vlogmi was created to solve that.

The Problem & Our Solution
Capture the Feeling of Genuine Life Experiences
One of the largest problems with young people in the digital age are the false perceptions of reality online. People today are disconnected from each other more than ever due to the exaggerated/curated narratives that are shared online. Plenty of studies have cited that todays social media platforms can have negative consequences on mental health, with nearly a third of teenagers reporting that they have anxiety.
*Vlogmi is currently in beta and available on the App Store.
While your feed on other platforms may be filled with edited photos and disingenuous content, Vlogmi provides a refreshing social media experience. We’re interested in you, your creative process, the real you. This is why we only allow our users to upload content that’s captured from directly inside of our in-app camera. This means that there’s no photoshop, no reposts, and no beauty filters.

The Market & Our Traction
Our Journey to Market and Monetization
Vlogmi is currently in open beta and available on the App Store, with beta groups on TestFlight. Our success on StartEngine will allow us to initiate our launch campaign in the Philippines by the end of this year with our Celebrity Shareholder Network - a group of artists, actors, and influencers featuring more than 50M combined fans worldwide.
*Vlogmi is currently in beta and available on the App Store.
With Vlogmi’s success on StartEngine, we will be able to launch publicly on both iOS and Android, roll out our go-to-market strategy, and scale to our first 50,000 users. Once our proprietary ad-tech platform is enabled following our initial beta testing, Vlogmi plans on generating monthly revenue through opt-in advertisements which users can watch to support their favorite content creators.

The 10% StartEngine Owners' Bonus
Vlogmi Corporation will offer 10% additional bonus shares for all investments that are committed by investors that are eligible for the StartEngine Crowdfunding Inc. OWNer's bonus.
This means eligible StartEngine shareholders will receive a 10% bonus for any shares they purchase in this offering. For example, if you buy 100 shares of Common Stock at $1.00 / share, you will receive 110 shares of Common Stock, meaning you'll own 110 shares for $100. Fractional shares will not be distributed and share bonuses will be determined by rounding down to the nearest whole share.
This 10% Bonus is only valid during the investor's eligibility period. Investors eligible for this bonus will also have priority if they are on a waitlist to invest and the company surpasses its maximum funding goal. They will have the first opportunity to invest should room in the offering become available if prior investments are canceled or fail.
Investors will receive the highest single bonus they are eligible for among all bonuses based on the amount invested or time of offering elapsed (if any). Eligible investors will also receive the Owner’s Bonus in addition to the aforementioned bonus.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
