Amaze Software

Debt Financing in 2017
When a company can revolutionize the ease of creation, storage, and management of something that has become integral to business and culture, that company can build a billion dollar empire. Microsoft did it with Word, which revolutionized documents; it did it with Excel for spreadsheets; and it did it again with Powerpoint for presentations. Together with the Microsoft Operating System called Windows, Microsoft built an empire on a bundled suite now called Microsoft Office 365. Since Microsoft, the world has moved online, has moved to mobile, and the things that are now integral to business and culture have shifted. Today, if you created a pie chart of the utilities that are essential to business and society it would consist of mobile apps, videos, ads, articles, and online presentations. The problem for these modern utilities is they suffer from the same problems that documents, spreadsheets, and presentations did at the dawn of Microsoft’s empire. They are time consuming, they are costly to create, and there exists to no unified, integrated way of managing and storing them. What Famous intends to do is revolutionize creation, storage, and management of these new Internet utilities. Together with our platform, called Famous Studio, we will offer powerful creation tools for Instant Apps, Instant Ads, Instant Videos, Instant Articles, and Instant Presentations that reduce creation time from months to minutes. To manage and store assets created with our Famous Studio, we offer Famous Publisher to manage them, Famous Analytics to measure their performance, and Famous Drive to store every beautiful creation.
