DESCRIPTION

RPM Interactive is a pre-revenue startup developing two AI-powered consumer products: Catch-Up, an automated video and podcast content creation platform, and Live Trivia, a mobile trivia game with cash prizes. Neither product has launched; both are targeted for a soft launch in Q3 2025. Catch-Up uses generative AI — built on third-party models including Anthropic's Claude, OpenAI's GPT-4, and HeyGen — to automatically source clips, generate commentary, create an AI avatar, and publish short-form video and audio content across topics like news, sports, and finance to platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and TikTok, with no manual editing. Catch-Up's initial monetization is ad-driven (YouTube AdSense, programmatic audio ads), with a Phase II plan to license the platform to third-party creators as a SaaS product. Live Trivia lets users play live at 8pm ET for cash prizes or in paid peer-to-peer contests, with RPM Interactive retaining 25% of entry fees in peer-to-peer matches and monetizing free players via in-game display ads. The planned differentiation for Live Trivia is AI-generated trivia in hyper-specific micro-categories — launching with professional football — rather than the broad categories that competitors offer. RPM Interactive has generated zero revenue since inception, carries an accumulated deficit of ~$6.3M as of March 31, 2025, and has going concern doubts noted by its auditors. The company plans to fund operations and growth through IPO proceeds.
