Former Zappos.com employee dubbed as “The Female Mark Zuckerberg" launches Kickstarter

Published on Sat, Aug 2, 2014 (12:35 p.m.)

Founder & CEO Mia Moore, is being dubbed as "The Female Mark Zuckerberg. She is best known as the former Zappos.com Affiliate Marketing Manager and owner of Picasso Marketing. She is setting her sights on yet another business venture, this time it is a United States patent pending social network with a massive amount of features. It’s designed to change the way people use social networks. Users will be able to socialize, watch movies in an online movie theater, attend online concerts, sports events, legally gamble online, shop with friends via a live online shopping network and more.

Las Vegas, Nevada, United States of America

She is launching a massive Kickstarter campaign for a funding goal of $60k in 60 days to help fund additional technology and licensing. The crowd funding site allows companies to set a funding goal and a deadline, but if they don’t meet their funding goal by the deadline, they do not get funded regardless of the money they raised. However, they can exceed their funding goals, which will allow them to add more technology, hire employees, and create key partnerships with other businesses.

Picasso Network will be a technologically advanced social network; that will change the entertainment, sports, and restaurant industry and how users interact with social networks. The social network will offer filmmakers and movie distributors an innovative way to show their films to a massive audience online. Users will purchase virtual movie tickets to attend the event online with their friends. The online movie theater will allow users to interact with others during the film. Users will be able to see, hear, text and chat with other users via video/text chat technology. The user can turn this feature off and simply enjoy the film if they wish not to attend with other moviegoers. The movie theater will be operated similar to a real movie theater, which will offer show times, ticket prices and online food court/concession stand – users can order a delivery before an online event. Six-movie theaters will be added, and each one will screen a separate movie.

Concert and Sports executives will be able to stream live events via Picasso Network similar to Pay-Per-View, but via a social network and a massive audience. Users will be highly engaged and interactive during online events. A taunt box will be provided for sporting events; so fans can taunt each others teams and fans as people do in real-life. Celebrity musicians will be able to hold an online listening party for their fans when a new CD comes out. Users can attend online classes with friends – classes will be for visual learners, complete video chat job interviews with employers, attend an online talent show similar to talent shows on TV – which allows all community users to vote for the most talented singers. Users will also be able to get online personal training and legally gamble if they live in certain countries.

” I am always looking at things and trying to figure out how I can improve them, so I wanted to do something unique and a little different. Picasso Network is a social network with Chameleon-like features, it becomes whatever the user wants it to be. If you want to watch a movie – it’s a movie theater, if you want to gamble it’s a Casino. However, every aspect of it is a new social networking experience for the user.

I wanted to design a social network that respects users' privacy, offers useful and engaging tools, and it’s fun to use. I believe traditional movie theaters will be a thing of the past. We want to be able to show the same movies people see in the movie theater and some independent films in our movie theater.

Picasso Network does things differently; we don’t restrict who you can be friends with because it’s a community; we encourage users to become friends with anyone. Right now our site is in open Beta, the public can join and use the social aspect of it while we continue to add features and test our software. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles yet, but we are looking forward to getting there.

That being said; it’s a big project and we will need a lot of help from the community to get more patents, licensing, add more technology, build key partnerships with filmmakers/movie distributors, concert/sporting executives, and restaurants. So, we are running a campaign on Kickstarter for 60 days to raise money to make this the best social network ever built.

I saw an opportunity to do something amazing and help a lot of people, so I ran with the idea. We’ve estimated that a project of this size and with the right amount of funding, once we complete this project we could potentially create over 800 American jobs, which will help us to hire people in Las Vegas, California and possibly other parts of the country. Employees will help develop, manage and run Picasso Network. We want to help put people back to work and stimulate our economy. We believe we will exceed our funding goal by leaps and bounds with the help of the community.” - According to Mia Moore, Chief Executive Officer of PicassoNetwork.com

If they reach their funding goal of $60k – it will allow them to do the minimum of getting additional licensing, and the minimum technology for some of the ideal features. It won’t allow them to create all the bells and whistles for this project, but it’s a start. If they can exceed this amount into the multi-millions, they will add all of these features and create a lot of jobs, which will help a lot of people who might be struggling financially due to our slow economy.

Picasso Network is offering a rewards program for those who participate in their campaign, one of the biggest giveaways is for anyone who backs their project with a donation of $10k or more; a vacation for two to Vegas, dinner at the Picasso restaurant in Las Vegas, meet the Founder/CEO of Picasso Network and more. The public can participate in the Picasso Network campaign by going to their Kickstarter page or contacting them to invest directly in their company.
