overdue for digital transformation. Attender brings optimization, visibility, intelligence, competition, and savings to buyers and sellers of maritime industrial services—something this industry has never had.

Booking a home repair service is simple. Need a plumber? Find one online, book a time, get the job done. At home, booking a plumber takes minutes. In shipping, it takes days and is a logistical nightmare. Ships operate 24/7, with tight schedules and unpredictable delays. A single service request, whether a critical repair or routine maintenance, can take days to set up, involve dozens of details, and require multiple vendors and part orders.

The maritime industry lacks even the most basic tools we take for granted, making procurement chaotic, unpredictable, and a never-ending coordination burden. Shipping companies struggle daily to manage a continuous stream of time-sensitive service requests often resulting in missed opportunities, unexpected delays, wasted time, and millions lost.

With 160,000 vessels each requiring approximately 375 services per year, the maritime sector spends over $120B annually on industrial services necessary for their ships, cargo, and crew to remain operational. Yet the traditional process remains dominated by emails, spreadsheets, and phone calls—wasting time, money, and operational capacity. Transparency is lacking. Buyers have little access to new vendors, competitive pricing, or alternative options. A modern, intelligent platform is urgently needed.

Attender is the first and only platform designed to solve this massive market gap. Attender is building a global community of maritime buyers and sellers—consolidated, organized, and connected through a cloud-based, AI-driven digital platform. Purpose-built to optimize procurement activities, Attender strengthens both new and existing industry relationships to unlock value at scale.

Attender promotes a community-first marketplace strategy, combining people, technology, and transactions in a connected digital environment. By managing the “community” as a core function—not just a byproduct—we unlock untapped value and scalable solutions that elevate the industry and advance the future of maritime commerce.

Attender is targeting a 7-year market capture goal of $25B GTV (Gross Transaction Value), equating to 21% market share. Over this period, we expect to: • Process $93B GTV of transactions through the platform. • Generate $3B in revenue through marketplace fees and recurring subscription services. • Expand into other industry verticals and commercial data services, offering further upside and revenue.

Attender will not just participate in this market — but dominate it. Our ability to win is driven by key competitive advantages that set us apart from anything the maritime industry has seen or tried before.

We are raising $8.6M in a priced seed round at a $43M valuation for 20% equity. Funds will support a fast three-month ramp-up to accelerate platform development, key hires, and go-to-market efforts. We aim to launch at full speed, driving rapid market penetration and revenue growth. Our Year 1 target is $38M in revenue, with profitability in 8 months.

Attender is structured for long-term valuation growth, strategic funding rounds, and a clear exit pathway. Investors can expect: • A Series A round in 20–24 months, targeting strategic acquisitions at a ~$300M valuation. • A long-term exit strategy through M&A or IPO, unlocking a multi-billion-dollar opportunity.

Attender is a rare first-mover opportunity in a massive and existing $120B underserved market that’s ripe for disruption. With proven leadership, strong early traction, and a scalable growth model, we are positioned not just to participate — but to lead and dominate.
