Would you like to build and manage you own global company, without the risk of starting a company from scratch? Then this is your opportunity.
At 24Slides we are looking for a Co-Founder that can help us build and grow our next venture. We have a team of 70 highly creative graphic designers, that creates high-level presentations for some of the largest companies in the world. We have also build a software platform that facilitates the communication between the client and the designer to ensure perfect project execution.
In building this venture we can reuse most of the tech platform already created for 24Slides and our learnings in setting up an outsourced team of highly skilled creatives. Those two components, that we are using for presentation design, we are going to apply to the digital signage industry, and you could be the co-founder.
The market
Digital screens have to a large degree replaced all analog screens all over the world and the market is still growing exponentially. The digital signage market is expected to grow from a $16,88 Billion in 2015 to $27,34 billion in 2022.
The challenge
The content management systems and screens are sold by a few major suppliers worldwide. The challenge for companies that own digital signage solutions is that it's very expensive, to create enough campaigns and content to be displayed on the screens. Today the only option is to either build up an internal agency that can create digital signage content or use an agency, which is really expensive to use.
We will solve that challenge by creating high-quality designs at affordable prices. Exactly like we have done for presentations with 24Slides.
