MyLocator: The Anti-Everything, Everything App

Venture Capital Investment Opportunity

Seeking: Series A - $15M
Valuation: $75M Pre-Money
Use of Funds: Vertical Platform Deployment, AI Infrastructure, GTM Execution

Executive Summary: The Thesis

While ChatGPT, Google, and Meta race to build horizontal everything apps, MyLocator is building 100+ vertical-specific AI platforms that will dominate their respective categories through specialization, community, and proprietary data moats.

The Insight: Users don't want an AI that knows "something about everything"—they want an AI that knows everything about their specific domain.

The Market Inflection Point

The AI Personalization Arms Race (2025-2027)

What's Happening:

  • GPT-5, Gemini Ultra 2.0, and Claude Opus deploying Q1-Q2 2026

  • Shift from reactive chatbots to proactive AI agents

  • Consumer expectation: AI should know context across all digital touchpoints

  • Platform wars intensifying for unified "life operating system"

Market Size:

  • Global AI market: $1.8T by 2030

  • Personalized AI services: $387B by 2028

  • Vertical SaaS market: $250B by 2027

The Problem with Horizontal Players: They're building jacks of all trades, masters of none—creating massive opportunity for vertical specialists.

Why Calendar-Dependent Life Apps Are Dead

The Failed Model: Reactive Dashboard Apps

Current life optimization platforms rely on:

  • Manual data entry (high user friction)

  • Calendar-centric views (plans ≠ reality)

  • Siloed integrations (requires 50+ API partnerships)

  • Reactive analytics (tells you what happened, not what to do)

  • Generic AI assistance (no domain expertise)

What Users Actually Want:

Old Model New Model (MyLocator) General life optimization Domain-specific mastery You input data AI observes passively Calendar shows plans Platform tracks reality Generic recommendations Expert-level guidance One app for everything Specialized app for YOUR thing

The Brutal Truth: When ChatGPT can answer any question about anything, a calendar app with basic AI becomes irrelevant.

But: ChatGPT can't be the world's best contractor finder, the definitive fitness optimization platform, AND the premium investment tracking system simultaneously.

The MyLocator Pivot: From Single App to Vertical Constellation

The Strategic Shift

Old Approach (Calendar Life App):

  • Single brand competing against everything apps

  • Limited differentiation

  • Commoditized by AI chatbots

  • Low pricing power ($10-15/month ceiling)

New Approach (MyLocator Platform):

  • 100+ vertical-specific branded platforms

  • Each dominates its category

  • Defensible through specialization

  • Premium pricing ($30-200/month per vertical)

The Domain Portfolio: Our Unfair Advantage

70+ Premium "Locator" Domains = 70+ Potential Vertical Platforms

We own the definitive brand architecture for vertical AI platforms:

Professional Verticals:

Service Verticals:

Lifestyle Verticals:

Marketplace Verticals:

Portfolio Value Proposition

Brand Recognition:

  • Instantly communicates value proposition

  • SEO dominance for "[category] locator" searches

  • Memorable, professional, trustworthy

Scalability:

  • Shared backend infrastructure (80% code reuse)

  • Centralized AI/ML development

  • Common billing and user management

Defensibility:

  • Domain ownership creates barrier to entry

  • First-mover advantage in vertical branding

  • Portfolio effect: competitors must fight on 100 fronts

Why MyLocator Wins Against Everything Apps

Competitive Landscape

Direct Competitors (By Vertical)

Reality: We don't have ONE competitor—we have different competitors in each vertical

Our Advantage: They're focused on their vertical; we're building 100 verticals

Examples:

  • Thumbtack (ContractorLocator competitor): Single vertical, established player

    • Our edge: Better AI, vertical constellation strategy, data from other platforms

  • LinkedIn (ProfessionalLocator competitor): Horizontal platform, generalized

    • Our edge: Vertical depth, specialized features, community focus

  • MyFitnessPal (WorkoutLocator competitor): Single vertical, legacy app

    • Our edge: AI-first, modern stack, integrated ecosystem

Indirect Competitors (Everything Apps)

ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, Meta AI:

  • Their strategy: One interface for everything

  • Their weakness: Can't be best at everything

  • Our positioning: "When it matters, use the specialist"

The Market Reality:

  • Everything apps will win for casual, low-stakes queries

  • Vertical specialists will win for high-stakes, professional use cases

  • There's room for both—we're targeting the high-value segment

The Moat: Why This Is Defensible

1. Domain Portfolio

3. Data Network Effects

  • Each vertical collects proprietary data

  • Data moats compound over time

  • Cross-vertical insights create unique value

4. Community Network Effects

  • Each vertical builds social graph

  • Switching costs increase with engagement

  • Community-generated content is defensible

5. Multi-Front Competition

  • Competitors must fight on 100+ fronts simultaneously

  • We can focus resources on highest-value battles

  • Portfolio resilience against vertical disruption

6. Capital Efficiency

  • Sublinear cost scaling across verticals

  • Exponential revenue potential

  • Superior unit economics vs single-vertical competitors
