INVEST IN ASTUTETECHNOLOGISTS


A Massive Disconnect is Equal to a Massive Opportunity


If you run a small to medium sized business, you always struggle to hire the services of a Managed Service Provider who can competently take care of your IT and Cybersecurity requirements. If you are one of these Managed Service Providers, you struggle to be found by the right clients and to be efficiently hired to help them so that you can start making a tangible difference in their operations.


This disconnect is generating a dramatic problem: cyber pirates (who are the modern-day bank robbers) are taking advantage of this situation. They are outmaneuvering organizations and individuals that lack the technical know-how to address these issues, or that instead wait too long to approach each other, negotiate and close B2B IT contracts, and be ready to collaborate in IT solutions.


The cost of this massive disconnect is only measurable in trillions of dollars. In fact, many damages are even not noticed by small businesses until it’s too late, so the real numbers of this tragedy are not even accounted for.


That’s why we founded AstuteTechnologists: to re-connect MSP demand and supply in an efficient, timely, and super-simplified way—generating profitable and mutually rewarding avenues to prevent cyber-attacks and multi-million dollar losses.



The Cybersecurity Facts: Turning a Problem into an Optimized Solution

Companies just can’t keep up with cybersecurity threats. Lack of effective data protection systems, lack of trained IT and cybersecurity experts, and the increase in remote working after COVID opening new channels for data theft and other attacks are exposing organizations across the globe to major loss and costly liabilities.

  • In 2022 cyberattacks have causes an aggregated damage of $6 trillion

  • A cyberattack occurs every 39 seconds

  • A ransomware attack occurs every 14 seconds

  • As more users join the Internet, more potential victims add to already gigantic challenges

  • Companies IT departments are slow to respond to fast evolving cyberattack trends

  • Cybercrime agents thrive on the chaos generated by how fast they can attack multiple assets

  • Cybercriminals take advantage of remote working to explore new challenges for data theft

  • 5G will increase vulnerabilities to cyber attacks

Currently, these challenges form a problem that is extremely difficult to resolve. The main reason is the fact that small and medium-sized businesses can’t keep up with these challenges because they don’t have an efficient way of having an expert Managed Service Provider in this field providing a strong and effective cybersecurity input preventing and addressing these problems before they escalate.


By bridging this gap and making it extremely easy to reach out and engage with verified top of the line IT professionals, Astute's Technology will solve this disconnect:

  • Helping to bring added safety to the IT and online worlds

  • Create more opportunities for IT and cybersecurity experts to be efficiently hired

  • Create more efficient and budget-friendly ways for businesses to engage high-level IT services

  • Significantly reduce the tremendous and untapped room for attacks that cyber pirates are finding




How AstuteTechnologists' Platform Performs

Instead of the typical cumbersome and lengthy procurement, negotiation and contracting work between MSP IT service providers and buyers, AstuteTechnologists will work as a 6-step engagement platform that will turn this otherwise complex process into a five-minute simple operation.

  4. Be matched through AI with the suitable IT professional

  5. Have a verified IT expert working to solve your issue in real time

  6. Save time and money with an extremely efficient process

Increasing Transparency and Reliability


AstuteTechnologists will only approve IT service providers and their listed services after independently ensuring that their skills and track record are strong enough for them to have access to this opportunity. On the other hand, their project history, successful completion rate, and customer reviews on the platform will be public, so every potential buyer will have transparent access to this data—to feel reassured about engaging with reliable high-quality experts.


Building a Community of IT Problem Solvers

AstuteTechnologists will also work as a forum for IT and Cybersecurity experts to share their knowledge and insights about how to address cybercrime challenges. They’ll be able to create content, open discussions, and nurture a thriving community of IT problem solvers that are currently working as lone wolves in a world that requires more collaboration and that dramatically needs their expertise.


How We’ll Become a Market Leader with $6M in Revenue in 3 Years

The AstuteTechnologists business model is to act as a facilitator of closed deals between IT service providers and buyers.

  • The platform will charge a fee to service providers for closed projects, offering them the advantage of easy and streamlined service discoverability, and of leveraging their traction and success rate as reviewed by customers on the platform.

  • Success rates in project completions that effectively solve IT requirements and issues of companies will compound and motivate more businesses to go to AstuteTechnologists to find efficient solutions for their IT challenges.

  • We intend to be the go-to platform for both IT service providers and buyers to connect with each other and start working together.

  • We intend to be the platform that will make life difficult for cybercrime to explore current inefficiencies, and we intend to help businesses across the world to save millions of dollars in annual damages caused by cyber-attacks.

In 3 years, we intend to have $6M in revenue. In 5 years, we intend to have $18M in revenue. Once we reach those milestones, AstuteTechnologists will see exponential growth in our user base and sales—which we will leverage to become a one-billion-dollar company in 10 years of activity.


How We’ll Employ The Funds

We are seeking an initial $250,000 in total seed funding with a maximum raise of $800,000 to handle the platform (desktop and app) development process of the business, as well as to face legal fees, hire the team that will initially operate the platform and handle provider verifications, and run initial marketing efforts to onboard service providers and service buyers.


The Most Astute Investment You Can Make

Ultimately, we’re inviting you to make the astute decision of investing in a startup that is equipped with the industry expertise and business model that can throw a gigantic wrench into the world of cybercrime—and capitalize on the gains we generate by empowering companies to save trillions of dollars in damages.


Will you join us in fighting cybercrime, optimizing IT systems in small and medium businesses, connecting buyers and sellers in a world that is still disconcertingly disconnected, and profiting from solving all these urgent problems?
