Impact
Phatic’s goal is to bridge the communication gap in remote work, fostering stronger relationships and reducing misunderstandings. It's designed for professionals, teams, and organizations looking to improve their communication culture and boost collaboration in virtual settings.
What I'll do with $5,000
With $5,000, I would focus on advancing Phatic’s development by allocating funds to the following areas:
MVP Development: Invest in improving the core functionality of Phatic, specifically refining the tone and cadence analysis features. This would include paying for voice analysis APIs, integrating sentiment analysis, and enhancing the AI's real-time feedback capabilities.
User Testing & Feedback: Conduct user research and initial testing with a small group of remote workers and teams to gather insights, refine the product, and improve its usability.
Marketing & Outreach: Use part of the funds for targeted marketing efforts, including social media ads and outreach to potential B2B customers. This would help generate early interest and awareness around Phatic's value proposition.
UX/UI Design: Allocate funds for professional design support to improve the platform’s interface, ensuring it's intuitive and engaging for users, particularly neurodivergent individuals.
This investment will help position Phatic for a successful product launch and market entry, making communication and perception training accessible and effective in remote work environments.
