Hi everyone! I'm 27 and trying to launch my own mobile app. I've been blessed with an angel investor who's willing to see this through with me until the end, and am currently in the validation process. To give you a brief synopsis of the idea that I'm pursuing: I've been doing a lot of research on digital autographs which, until recently, have only been tried by a few unknown companies that targeted certain niches of celebrities (authors, baseball, etc.). This month Microsoft made a marketing push for their Surface tablet and an app that allows digital autographs between fans and their favorite celebrities, and a site called autograf (subsidiary of Lettrs) is trying to get into the market as well. This potential trend in digital autographs made me start to think that there may be a market for digital memorabilia between celebrities and their fans (for example, a digital image of Bono's guitar with his signature and a personalized message), which gave me the idea of creating an all-in-one marketplace platform to design the digital items and facilitate these transactions by making each digital item unique through a digital watermark or steganography (thereby preserving the item for a potential secondary market that could be created in the future). I am currently looking into a few niche markets of lower-tiered celebrities to test if there is any interest, and I welcome any feedback that you may have.
