Future Outlook

Ealixir anticipates that by next year these applications will enable our clients to analyze their reputational content on the Internet in a quick and effective manner, at a competitive price. We expect to offer ReputScore to new and existing clients starting in 2024.

Management Comments

  • The heart of our operational philosophy is to ensure that our clients have the right to be forgotten.
  • Our objective as a company is to advocate the right to be forgotten in order to help individuals, SMBs and others fight back against outdated negative information and harmful spurious content online, and we strive at being subject matter professionals at what we do.

Industry Context

The ORM industry is a young and growing sector, because its growth is related to the growth of online content, as well as other factors, and thus in our view difficult to quantify. At the same time, the ORM industry is highly competitive and fragmented.

Comparison to Industry Standards

  • Ealixir believes its most direct competition comes from Reputation.com, Terakeet, and Repair Bad Reputation, among others.
  • Ealixir also competes with traditional public relations and communication agencies.
  • Ealixir believes that few, if any, of its competitors can match the scope, depth and reach of its services, commencing from a thorough assessment of the nature of the web content relating to our client, to targeted link and content removal; the creation of new and tailor-made web content; and the removal of information from databases and so called blacklists.
