Average Order Value
Revenue Velocity
The Data: Launched in Nov '25 at AED 26,000 ➔ Surged to AED 276,000 in Dec '25.
The Insight: Even after the initial launch hype, we maintained a powerful organic baseline of AED 190,000 in January and February with zero marketing spend—proving MYNTED is a daily destination, not a one-time trend.
Unbeatable Retention
The Data: Our Returning Customer Rate jumped from 18.5% at launch to 54.5% in February.
The Insight: More than 1 in 2 collectors return to MYNTED to buy again, with dozens of customers already placing 20–30 orders. This retention is far above typical e-commerce benchmarks and shows strong platform loyalty and repeat purchasing behavior.
Strong Purchasing Power
The Data: Average Order Value (AOV) currently stands at AED 652.
The Insight: This strong AOV highlights the purchasing power of the collector base on MYNTED and continues to strengthen as the platform grows. Collectors are increasingly comfortable making higher-value purchases, reinforcing MYNTED’s positioning as a trusted marketplace for collectible assets.
Rapid Scaling & Extreme Loyalty
Our Revenue So Far
Our initial launch in November ’25 demonstrated strong early demand, generating AED 26,000 in the first month. This was followed by a sharp increase to AED 276,000 in December, supported by both online sales and a strong event contribution.
Following that peak, revenue stabilized at a consistent high level, with AED 187,000 in January and AED 188,000 in February. This shows that MYNTED was able to maintain meaningful sales volume even after the December event impact.
Even more importantly, these results were achieved with zero marketing spend, demonstrating that MYNTED is becoming a real destination for collectors, not just a short-term spike. The chart highlights strong early traction and validates the platform’s product-market fit in the regional collectibles market.
High Repeat Purchase Activity
Since launch, MYNTED has already processed more than 1000 orders generating more than AED 700,000 in gross sales. Several collectors have placed a very high number of repeat purchases — with individual customers ordering up to 30 times within the first months of operation.
This purchasing behavior shows that collectors are not treating MYNTED as a one-time marketplace. Instead, they return regularly to source cards and collectibles. Having multiple customers with 15–30 orders each in such an early stage is a strong signal that MYNTED is becoming the #1 shopping destination for active collectors, not just a discovery platform.
"Our data shows that once trust and discovery are solved, collectors buy repeatedly. With 58% returning customers and individuals already placing up to 30 orders, MYNTED is quickly becoming a high-frequency marketplace for serious collectors."

Dominating the Market
We Own the Region's Inventory
From 82 to 500+: The roadmap to becoming the GCC’s definitive supply engine.
82 Verified Vendors: We have already onboarded the "who’s who" of the UAE retail scene.
5,000+ Active SKUs: Immediate depth across TCG, Sports Cards, and high-end collectibles.
AED 3.4M ($1M) Inventory: Live, third-party asset value currently indexed and searchable.
Scaling to Market Dominance (Year 1 Targets)
This is the "Flywheel" effect: more vendors lead to more unique inventory, which attracts more Collectors.
"We aren't just adding shops; we are building the region's first 'Real-Time Inventory Map' for Collectors. By Year 1, if a rare asset exists in a shop in the GCC, it will be found on MYNTED."

Consignment & Vaulting
Charging a premium for the management and safe-keeping of the region’s rarest assets.
"We aren't just taking a cut of the sale. We are the toll-booth for discovery (Ads), the bank for storage (Vault), and the stadium for the community (Events). This is how we scale profit faster than headcount."

The "Amazon Play"
Boosting Bottom-Line via House Brands
Using proprietary platform data to identify supply gaps and capture 3x higher profit margins.
Data-Led Inventory Strategy
We monitor thousands of daily searches to identify "Out-of-Stock" trends and high-demand assets. MYNTED then sources and lists these proprietary TCG products and collectibles directly, filling the market gap. House Sales capture the full 30-40% retail margin, compared to 10% from third-party commissions.
MYNTED Merchandise Line
Launching a premium line of MYNTED-branded supplies (binders, cases, sleeves, display stands). These Collector Essentials have low production costs and high perceived value, turning every accessory sold into a walking advertisement for our ecosystem.
Strategic Direct-Sourcing
Securing exclusive drops with global manufacturers for "MYNTED Exclusive" variants. We also use our liquidity to purchase "underpriced" high-value assets from the platform and re-list them at market peak, capturing full appreciation.

 Predictable Cash
Scaling the Subscription Engine
Building an AED 1.1M+ annual floor through Collector Loyalty and Vendor SaaS.

  
MYNTED Prime (B2C Loyalty)
Designed to increase purchase frequency and lock-in the region's top Collectors.
The Goal: Turn casual buyers into "Prime" members who view MYNTED as their default home for collecting.
  
Vendor Pro (B2B SaaS)
The "Netflix Strategy": Monetizing vendor growth through tiered access and commission incentives.
The Strategy: We offer lower commissions at higher subscription tiers. As a vendor's volume grows, it becomes "mathematically impossible" for them not to upgrade to the Enterprise tier to save on transaction fees. We win on the fixed subscription and the transaction.
This line chart illustrates our projected Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) growth, showcasing a strong trajectory towards exceeding AED 90,000 MRR by Month 12.
Strategic Evolution of Vendor Tiers
"Our model is built for scalability. Just as Netflix evolved its pricing, MYNTED will periodically adjust 'Value Caps' on lower tiers—driving high-volume vendors toward premium Enterprise subscriptions and maximizing our platform take-rate."
"By Year 1, we expect Subscriptions to generate AED 90,000+ in pure-profit MRR. This de-risks our marketplace volatility and provides the consistent capital needed to dominate the KSA and Qatar markets in Year 2."

Becoming the "Google" for Collectors
Consolidating a fragmented B2B landscape into a single, high-velocity search engine.
Local Hobby Shops
Local Events
Local Grading Companies
Retail Chains
Private Power-Sellers
Regional Distributors
1.
The Aggregator Advantage (B2B Expansion)
Fragmented No More: 90% of GCC hobby shops lack digital visibility; we provide the tech to make them instantly discoverable.
The "One-Click" Moat: Our proprietary sync maps the region's physical retail shelves in real-time.
The B2B Value Prop: We are their Digital Lifeblood, bringing them customers they can't reach alone.
2.
Owning the "Search Intent"
The Gateway Effect: Aggregating 500+ vendors makes us the first and last stop for collectors.
High-Intent Traffic: Users searching on MYNTED are ready to buy. We own the most valuable e-commerce moment.
Data Monopoly: Our insights fuel our "Proprietary House Brand" strategy, knowing market demand first.
3.
The "Toll Booth" Economy
Zero Inventory Risk: We index the region's inventory, rather than purchasing it.
Monetizing the Flow: MYNTED is central to every transaction, whether online or via "Click & Collect."
Future-Proofing: We become the "Standard Oil" of Middle East collectibles; essential for any successful hobby business.
"We are building a Natural Monopoly. As more vendors join, the search results get better. As search results get better, more collectors join. This flywheel ensures that MYNTED becomes the definitive gateway for the collector market."

The Growth Engine
Our Roadmap to 100,000 Collectors
A data-driven acquisition strategy fueled by physical dominance and digital precision.
1. Performance Funnels: The Retention-First Approach
The Strategy: We move beyond "brand awareness" into high-intent performance marketing.
The Data Advantage: We leverage the behavior profiles of our first 500+ unique customers to build hyper-accurate "Lookalike" audiences across Meta, TikTok, and Google.
The Outcome: Lowering CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) by targeting only active Collectors who are already searching for high-value assets.
2. The Event Flywheel: Dominating the Ground
The Strategy: Participating in all major Middle East conventions (Comic-Con, Gaming Festivals, Card Shows).
The ROI: These are high-revenue nodes. We project AED 300k–400k in sales per event through our vendor network.
Physical-to-Digital: Every physical sale at an event is a "low-cost" app download. We use exclusive event-only drops to onboard thousands of users in a single weekend.
3. The Viral Loop: Prime & Community Referrals
The Strategy: Leveraging our deep-rooted presence in 100+ private WhatsApp and Discord groups.
The Incentive: Using MYNTED Prime as a growth lever. Members receive "Bounty" credits and exclusive perks for onboarding new verified Collectors.
The Result: Organic, word-of-mouth growth that compounds as the platform becomes the "standard" for the community.
"We don't just buy users; we cultivate them. By combining the high-margin revenue of physical events with the precision of retention-first digital funnels, we are building an acquisition machine that pays for its own growth."

The Market
Moving beyond casual hobbies to serve a diverse ecosystem of collectors, players, investors, and retailers.
🤸 Who are our customers?
MYNTED isn’t just for one type of buyer; we serve the entire lifecycle of the hobby. Our audience is a sophisticated mix of four distinct profiles:

The TCG Players & Competitors: These are the active heart of the community. They need specific cards to build competitive decks and participate in local tournaments. For them, speed and availability are the primary drivers.

The Master-Set Completionists: These collectors are driven by the "hunt." They aren't looking for one card; they are looking for the last card to complete a 200-card set. They require a powerful search engine to find specific, often obscure, variants across dozens of different vendors.

Investors & Resellers: These high-net-worth individuals treat rare collectibles as an alternative asset class. They prioritize "Grails" and high-grade slabs (PSA/CGC). They demand an institutional-grade platform with escrow and authentication to protect their capital.

The Vendors & Storefronts: From physical shops to power-sellers, these users need the "pipes" to reach a wider audience without the overhead of building their own e-commerce infrastructure.
🤔 How do they think/act?
The Middle Eastern collector is currently "underserved and overcharged." They are forced to operate in a high-friction environment that contradicts their digital-first lifestyle.

High-Intent Searching: Collectors in the GCC are tired of "scrolling" through Instagram or WhatsApp. They act with high intent; they know exactly what they want and are frustrated when they have to message five different people to check availability.

The Trust Paradox: Users are currently conducting AED 10,000+ transactions over handshake deals in unmonitored chat groups. They are terrified of fraud but have no other choice. This creates a "suppressed market"—people want to spend more, but they are holding back due to a lack of security.

Community-Driven Loyalty: Once a collector finds a reliable source, they stay. Our 48.3% retention rate proves that this audience doesn't just "shop"—they inhabit the platform. They want a "home" for their hobby, not just a checkout page.
🌎 How big is the opportunity?
While the exact regional market cap is unrecorded due to its fragmented "shadow" nature, the opportunity lies in formalizing the unorganized. * The Aggregation Gap: There are hundreds of independent retailers and thousands of private sellers across the UAE, KSA, and Qatar operating in silos. By unifying them, MYNTED creates a massive, searchable inventory pool that currently doesn't exist.

The Wealth Intersection: The Middle East has the highest concentration of high-net-worth individuals who are increasingly diversifying into "passion assets" like TCG and Sports Cards. We are tapping into a cultural shift where collectibles are no longer viewed as toys, but as liquid investments.

The Global Gateway: The opportunity isn't just local. By solving the logistics friction, we become the bridge for global collectors to access the unique, high-value inventory held within the GCC, turning a regional hobby into a worldwide trade engine.

The Competition
⚔️ Who are they and how do we beat them?
The Social Media Market
The Flaw: Total lack of discovery and zero buyer protection. Searching for an item is a manual, multi-hour task with a high risk of being scammed.
The MYNTED Edge: We provide a professional Escrow and Search layer. We don't try to kill the community; we give it a secure, searchable home.
Global Giants (eBay / TCGplayer)
The Flaw: Prohibitive shipping costs and massive "Customs Friction." A buyer in Dubai often waits 3-8 weeks and pays 40% in fees for a single card from the US.
The MYNTED Edge: We are Localized & Instant. We offer same-day or next-day delivery within the GCC with zero customs surprises, making global apps look obsolete.
Generalist Apps (Amazon / Dubizzle)
The Flaw: No specialized expertise. These platforms are flooded with unverified third-party sellers and high rates of counterfeit "re-sealed" products.
The MYNTED Edge: We are Vertical Experts. Every high-value transaction is backed by our specialized authentication knowledge, ensuring the "Master-Setter" gets exactly what they paid for.
Fragmented Local Retailers
The Flaw: Most shops have no digital presence, or their "websites" are never updated. They lack the tech to reach the 90% of customers who shop via mobile.
The MYNTED Edge: We are their Partner. Through our "One-Click Sync," we give these retailers a world-class storefront and a massive audience instantly, turning "competitors" into our primary supply moat.
Why We Win: Neutralizing the Competition

Our Path to a 5x Valuation
Stacking marginal 3% gains to manufacture a 5x valuation in 24 months.
We don't rely on "viral luck." We engineer The Buff—the stacking of 3–5% monthly improvements across core technical levers. When these levers improve simultaneously, the result isn't linear; it’s multiplicative.
This line chart visualizes the "Hockey Stick" growth trajectory of our valuation over 24 months. It demonstrates how consistent, marginal gains across our key technical levers lead to an initial steady period, followed by an exponential surge in value as these "buffs" compound.
The acceleration into Year 2 showcases the powerful effect of our strategic improvements on LTV/CAC Ratio and overall market dominance.
Key Levers for 5x Growth:
1
The SEO Flywheel
The Gain: Indexing 30,000+ individual SKUs and vendor inventory as unique, searchable landing pages.
The Result: A permanent, free traffic engine that reduces dependency on paid ads and owns "Search Intent" for the region.
2
Conversion Rate Optimization
The Gain: Moving from a 2% web conversion to a 3% Native App CR (a +50% relative increase).
The Result: Our Q2 Mobile App launch effectively "doubles" the value of every dirham spent on marketing by removing checkout friction.
3
The "Lock-in" Retention Rate
The Gain: Converting our high-frequency power-users (48.3% returning rate) into MYNTED Prime subscribers.
The Result: Shifting from "unpredictable" transactions to stable, high-margin Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR).
4
The Supply Network Effect
The Gain: Expanding the vendor pool from 82 to 500+, creating the region's largest aggregated catalog.
The Result: Attracting "Whale" collectors who drive a natural 15–20% increase in Average Order Value (AOV) due to supply depth.
5
High-Margin House Brands
The Gain: Utilizing platform data to direct-source proprietary MYNTED-branded supplies and exclusive TCG products.
The Result: Tripling the profit margin on the same logistics footprint, moving from 10% commissions to 45% net margins.
6
The Internal Ad-Network
The Gain: Allowing vendors to bid for "Boosted Listings" and prime category real estate.
The Result: A 100% margin revenue stream that grows in lockstep with our vendor count, creating a pure profit layer.
The 24-Month Projection
"We are engineering a machine where every 3% improvement in our code or our funnel compounds into a 5x exit opportunity. This is how we win the Middle East hobby market."

The Strategic Ask
Scaling the World’s Hobby Gateway
Buying velocity to capture the global billion dollar collector market.
Target Raise
AED 2,000,000
Securing the capital to hire our core operational team and accelerate our worldwide expansion (GCC, Asia, EU, USA).
Indicative Valuation
AED 20,000,000
Based on 700+ unique customers in 90 days, $320,000 pre-built technical IP, and 10x revenue velocity since launch.
Challenges to Growth
🏃 What’s prevented us from growing even faster?
To date, MYNTED has been driven by a lean founding team. We have reached the limits of manual operation. We have the supply and the demand, but we now require a dedicated Operational Core—including a Marketing Manager, a Senior Developer, and an Accountant—to handle the administrative and technical load of a high-velocity global platform.
💸 How will raising money solve this problem?
Capital allows us to buy back time. By hiring a specialized team and automating our global logistics, we move from "handling orders" to "automating operations." This funding transitions MYNTED from a successful regional marketplace to an global aggregator.
The Use of Funds: Worldwide Expansion
The allocation of funds is strategically designed to supercharge MYNTED's growth and cement its position as the world's leading collectibles gateway.
50% — Human Capital & Tech: Onboarding the "Core Three" (Marketing, Development, Accounting) and finalizing the Native App to optimize conversion by +40%.
30% — Global Scaling: Aggressive entry into GCC as our immediate regional base, followed by localized infrastructure in Japan/Asia, the EU, and the USA. We are building the first seamless, customs-free bridge for collectors worldwide.
20% — Strategic Reserve & Safety Fund: A dedicated "War Chest" to ensure operational stability, cover unforeseen global logistics shifts, and allow for opportunistic inventory acquisitions (Grails) that strengthen our market position.
"The infrastructure is live. The vendors are integrated. The collectors are buying. We are seeking the capital to move from a regional success story to the world's definitive gateway for the passion economy."
