We, Sindeso Tech, are a startup team. We introduce a AI assistant model. With the
desire for people of all ages to learn and have a friendlier approach to AI, especially
intelligent communication with language. This product helps us lay the first
foundation for our business, and in the future, we aim to develop our business into a
software company. That's why we named our business Sindeso Tech.
Our product, Sindeso.AI, provides users with outstanding features, novelty, and
interest in language and answering questions. Sindeso is not limited to a specific
language but also supports diverse languages around the world. This creates a multi-
language user experience, especially friendly translation that helps the product serve
and interact with users everywhere flexibly.
With this capability, Sindeso can be widely applied in various fields: communication
in business, healthcare, education, etc.
The logo of Sindeso company takes the shape of the letter "S", representing the
abbreviation of the company name. It is designed to mimic sound waves through
the three connecting parts of the "S", creating an image of a robot face associated
with artificial intelligence when viewed as a whole. The colours used in the logo are
technology-related hues, emphasising the modern and advanced nature of the
company.

"This is our demo interface to simulate our website. Sindeso.AI will appear on both laptop
and phone as a web application."
Especially, you only need to ask questions using your voice. The ability to
continuously receive speech from the product is truly excellent. Evidence of our
speech recognition technology is validated by PICO VOICE (one of the top 6
competitors as listed here: https://picovoice.ai/platform/leopard/) in terms of
error rates when continuously receiving information via speech. We are utilising
the second-ranked technology with an error rate of 5.6% (Azure).
In addition, the feature of real-time text display when users start speaking is
very limited in the current market. Our speed will display text immediately
upon receiving speech.
Our ability to answer questions will satisfy you. While other features on the
market may respond in a mechanical, complex manner, and sometimes cause
confusion for users, we have overcome that drawback. They are designed to
communicate in a friendly manner with common language.

significant portion of users are willing to pay for new AI tools, there is also a large portion
seeking more affordable options, especially among students. This highlights the
importance of pricing strategies suitable for different market segments.

development of advanced features in mobile phones and discussions about GPT chat
technology. This indicates that users are leaning towards innovation and technological
progress, signaling a great opportunity for the adoption of new AI products.

C. Why ?
With this strategy, we utilize the combination of online communication channels and
automation platforms to optimize costs and attract customers for our startup. Here's how
this strategy works:
Primary Communication Channels:
Use primary communication channels such as website, social media, and email to reach
and interact with potential customers.
Create engaging and quality content to attract the attention of customers, from
introducing products to sharing information about the business and addressing
common customer queries.
Website:
Build a professional and user-friendly website, providing basic information about the
product, company, and pricing for customers to explore in detail.
Utilize the website as the main destination for all potential customers, whether they
access it through online or offline channels.
Building customer relationships is extremely important for any business. Building and
maintaining strong customer relationships can have many positive impacts on the success
and growth of a company. Building customer relationships will help SIDESO gain: loyalty of
customers, attract more customers, retain customers, enhance brand reputation, and
increase customer experience.
Comprehensive Customer Relationship Strategy: Acquire, Retain, and Grow:
Acquiring customers: Using digital media advertising (For example: facebook, tiktok,..),
content marketing and traditional advertising (For example, advertising to each
classroom in a university FPT) combined with data analysis and market research tools
allows businesses to optimize customer attraction efforts, ensure cost efficiency and
maximize conversion rates (google analytics, Google trends, Moz)
Customer Retention: Sideso will continuously collect customer feedback, opinions and
experiences so that we can promptly make repairs to give customers a better and more
optimal experience day by day. Besides, Sideso also has extremely interesting customer
loyalty programs such as package discounts for your next purchase.
Growing Customers: In the near future, Sideso will develop more specific service packages
for each customer, helping them have the most complete experience as well as expanding
their target audience further. In addition, Sideso will have programs to motivate customers
to spread Sideso's products to relatives and friends through direct discounts on orders every
time they introduce the product to others.
Personal assistance: The company will provide support facilities integrated into the
software for users through many different channels such as live chat (via hotline number,
text message), support via Email.
Self-Service: For customers using the Free package, the company will have available
question sets so users can learn and fix their own errors.
FeedBack: When customer information is returned to the server, for each customer using
any software package, every 1 week will receive 1 Feedback about the customer's usage
experience to be able to report. Express your own opinion when using and experiencing the
product, especially focusing on negative errors that affect the customer experience that
need to be fixed and remedied immediately.
Communities: build a community for people to share and connect with each other in terms
of knowledge, experience and also a place for people to update information about new
updates and patches from the product as well as like discount events (discord, facebook)
Use social media to provide more information about updates, products, new incentive
programs, etc. Currently, the company will focus on 3 main social media sites: Facebook,
Zalo and Tiktok.
Sales promotions:
10% discount when customers reuse services (15% for customized packages)

Above is a table of operating costs for the first 8 months in case Sindeso Tech’s
business operations proceed normally. We divide operating costs into two
parts: fixed costs and variable costs. Operating costs in the first 8 months will
be 113.00.000
Fixed costs include: R&D, other expenses. The detailed amount of each type of cost is
described specifically in the table above and the total for the first year will be 21,000,000.
Variable costs include labor cost, marketing expense, tech expense and other small
expenses. Total variable costs in the first year are 92,000,000
SINSEDO’s cost of goods soldl is expected to be 19,480,000 VND
Pricing strategy: sell products at cheaper prices than the market to attract customers
to buy the products.
Revenue comes from the sale of product packages, method of renerating revenue is
only transaction-based
Customers use the SINSEDO website to make payments
Payment methods: Bank Transfer. We do not accept any other form of payment
Based on the estimated revenue and operating costs projected over an 8-month period, we've
meticulously crafted a comprehensive financial analysis for Sindeso Tech. Our approach involved
categorizing these projections into three distinct scenarios: a pessimistic outlook, representing a
conservative estimate of revenue; a reality or most likely scenario, reflecting the anticipated
outcome based on current market conditions; and an optimistic scenario, portraying the potential
if all variables align favorably.
Across all three scenarios, we've observed noteworthy sales figures, attributable to our strategic
efforts in reaching out to diverse customer segments. These figures underscore the effectiveness
of our marketing strategies and the inherent demand for our products. In the pessimistic scenario,
our net cashflow is conservatively estimated to reach approximately 83 million, demonstrating
resilience even in less favorable conditions. Moving to the reality scenario, we anticipate a net
cashflow of around 150 million, reflecting a more moderate yet realistic projection based on
prevailing market trends and our operational capabilities. Finally, in the optimistic scenario, we
project a net cashflow of approximately 286 million, highlighting the immense potential for
growth and profitability if market conditions exceed expectations and our strategies continue to
yield positive results.
One key advantage of Sindeso's flagship product is its unique intangible nature, which exempts it
from incurring depreciation and amortization (D&A) expenses. This characteristic not only
enhances our profitability but also underscores the innovative nature of our offerings, positioning
us favorably within the competitive landscape.
In summary, our financial analysis illustrates the robustness of Sindeso Tech's business model and
its ability to navigate varying market conditions. With a clear understanding of potential outcomes
across different scenarios, we are well-equipped to make informed decisions and capitalize on
opportunities for sustainable growth and success.
The break-even point for a standard product per month, with a Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) per unit
of 10,000, a unit price of 29,000, and fixed costs totaling 21,000,000, is estimated to be
