Gotham Oracle.

Let's Empower Recreation Here at The Center of the World.

Let's GO:

Through an Underlying Affiliate Marketing Engine Incentivizing Crowd Sourced Deals & Loyalty Rewards.

The FIRST Affiliate Marketing Engine for Brick & Mortar.

"Hold on, tiger. That's ambitious. You're starting to talk about what must be a multi-billion dollar TAM. Who are you, and what problem are you solving?" - You, probably

Who Are We?

Allow us to introduce ourselves.

We're nobody. Actually, we're several nobody New Yorkers who have paid attention to what people actually want in their communities.

But who are we more specifically?

We'll let Quinn Zsido, our CEO & Co-founder take center stage for this one

Quinn is the middle of 7 kids to a military family from upstate New York, so he's never been afraid to fight 😉

to pay back that $65K annual CMU education while gaining invaluable corporate marketing experience for leading B2C companies here in NYC.

All while bootstrapping GO from 5-9. Click the picture to follow alongside his LinkedIn.

As GO CEO, Quinn is an experienced and ridiculously ambitious Campaign, Growth, & Product Marketer in NYC with 6+ years of tech experience inside of major B2C & B2B environments having set YoYoYoY acquisitions records and directly owning $15+ million of paid media. He knows how to bring products to market.

And he's not afraid to do so.

Growing up near farm country upstate Quinn just wanted to "be a part of it.🗽". That beautiful city on the horizon just beyond reach. Through 12 years of life upstate he remembers only ever visiting that great city two times. Both of which times he and his 6 siblings were in the hands of their mom and dad, and one of which times the mini-van got towed, leaving to a play-day at the police station.

But it was enough for Quinn to see the city out of reach. So when he finally broke in after his time at Carnegie Mellon and discovered that so many other nobodies saw that same city they were living in as out of reach then he decided to start creating Gotham Oracle.

He started to create GO.

Joining Quinn on GO's journey are CTO/Co-founder Zachary Dorcinville, COO Doug Porrecca

If you’re seeing this, it’s because you’ve made or are considering making an investment in this city you live and love as well.
"So what's the Problem?"

The Problem

Contemporary Mobile Billboards Have Never Existed.. Until Now

Supply & Demand of recreation in the city, or rather the B2B2C Marketplace that should be connecting the two.

There is obvious local desire & no directive resources for citizens
(B2C Demand)
>New Yorkers gladly pay X to save $Y>X while engaging/discovering
>But there are only pigeon holed outlets & recommendations (e.g. socials, newsletters, rewards apps)
Desire But No Central & Equitable Resource for SMBs 
(B2B Supply)
> No central marketplace allowing small businesses to advertise promotions through a localized brand
> No incentive. No connected affiliate engine to reward SMBs and pay middle men (e.g. What-to-do Influencers / Affilaites)

Consider the objects you see in society below. All objects that present value based on two microeconomic drivers: Vicinity & Offering.

I am in need of fuel, food, services. There's what I want.. in my vicinity.. at price points, deals, and offerings that are advertising towards me.

Is it so crazy to imagine these concepts could be digitized? No. But for thousands of reasons we've seen and can explain offline this digitized and accessible solution is nearly impossible in today's get rich quick, ai driven world. These are people-first problems that are impossible to automate. Ever changing real world prompts that are impossible to automate. They necessitate years of extremely thoughtful, intricate, and people-first solutions built out. Happy to provide examples.

The TAM becomes fairly obvious, but to list a few relevant data points in New York City alone:

1) $74+ Billion Dollars spent annually just on NYC tourism in recent years
2) 200M  Eventbrite Tickets Annually
3) 70M Citizens & Tourists in NYC (potential readers/users/customers)
4) 5M IG Followers between just 3 what-to-do-in-NYC profiles (people care about doing things) : (Secret NY, NYBucketlist, and Timeout NY)

The Solution: Turn Local Flywheels

The Infatuation NYC x Seated

Hinted at above, the solution here is an open-source B2B2C Media Marketplace + Native Consumer App where users access aggregated deals, purchase coupons, and engage rewards all around them. A one-stop shop for added value in the real world around people.

Fig. 2 GO B2B2C GTM Flywheel

1) Save Money while Living, Eating, Exploring the best of the city
2) Distribute Money through Native affiliate & loyalty rewards
3) Save Time doing what you would have done anyways. Better. Quicker.
4) Share Culture through local connection to the city & network capabilities.

Build this flywheel correctly through poeple-first solutions while listening to and spreading from neighborhood..

Flywheel N

to neighborhood..

Flywheel N+1

to neighborhood.

Flywheel N+2

Uplifting the city, its local economies, and its citizens all along the way:

Fig. 3

Fig. 4

Those are some fun KPIs, predictions, and Go-to-Market strategy... but where's the actual product? What does thing look like? - You again, probably

Here at the center of the world NYC’s neighborhoods, communities, SMBs (small businesses), and economies serve as models for the best of humanity.

Additionally, when corrupted by myopic greed and $22 hollowed hipster burger joints with no soul (fries extra) it can represent the worst.

This is not an argument for turning back the clock to some better time. You can’t fight technology, but you can utilize it for good.

Herein lies our competitive advantage and driving force. GO’s B2B2C marketplace is an evolution alongside and ahead of technical trends to right the ship.

We’re studied, resourced, sympathetic, and we ship pragmatic software at the speed of light. We hope you’ll join us. And so together, let’s briefly explore how we’ll achieve this.

By now, you’ve either already briefly read about this media-enabled marketplace or better yet experienced it in detail at our Gotham Oracle Influencers & Investors Dinner (+content on the way). If you haven’t yet, give that article a read to briefly understand how the components of our website will naturally market and convert GO users (e.g. Fig. 1 example GO Deals from the event)

Fig. 1: Old Example GO Deals from I&I Dinner

Our MVP exists. Now we can share our Go-To-Market strategy; a naturally scaling and thoughtfully monetizing critical mass takeover expanding from locality to locality propelling SMBs, Customers/Users, and GO along the way.

In fact, is it that exact flywheel which we’ll start spinning (Fig. 2)

We've put the tools and team in place. And we've seen this work on a small scale (Fig. 3 & Fig. 4).

We're starting to get a sense of how this thing can really work across NYC.

This is how seriously we believe you should see this technology's capabilities. If you're considering a larger investment (> $25,000) then you should see how we’re sculpting the future.

Come join our weekly all-hands meeting. Come look under the hood and see how quickly this well oiled machine moves from identification of problem through solution to product shipment. Contact Quinn to join as a guest Wednesday at 7:00pm est. PSA an NDA will be required to join this meeting.

Here's our more formal G-Slides Pitch Deck for those interested. Though, as this newsletter proves out, experiential apps are best experienced.

Pricing

Now onto pricing. Approach this from an investor's mindset. For example, while this flywheel isn't spinning yet, what respectively small investment is needed to make this first Bushwick flywheel (N) spin? We believe that initial amount to achieve critical mass (Σ) is < $50,000. And between this cohort, we're closer now.

What incremental open source momentum naturally occurs for every next flywheel once N is spinning? We believe localities N+1 (e.g. Bedstuy + Ridgewood) will only need (.8)(Σ) = $40,000,  N+2 (e.g. Williamsburg+) will only need (.6)(Σ) = $30,000, and so on into Manhattan and across NYC via network effects, FOMO, and microeconomic incentives.

So perhaps most importantly when considering the Total Addressable Market (TAM) and evaluation... If GO works in one neighborhood, why can’t it work in every neighborhood? In time, why can’t it work across a % of NYC’s 50,000+ Restaurants, 9M Citizens, & 65M Annual Tourists?

Terms: Pre-Seed Raise of $250,000 at a 20% Discount via SAFEs (Simple Agreement for Future Equity)

Deadline for verbal committment: January 15th, 2026

Deadline for your deposit to secure SAFE: January 31st, 2026

FAQ below. Quinn can answer all your questions before the January 31st deadline. Please text or call him: (845)863-4241

  • Q: Will this be my last chance to invest in GO's 2026 Pre-Seed? 
    • A: Perhaps. Perhaps not. It is by far the cheapest opporutnity. Unless we raise the full $250K in January (we haven't yet), we'll be offering lower discounts through the year (5%, 10% or max 15%)
    • A: Priority will be offered to current SAFE holders first. So if you secured a $45,000 20% discounted SAFE investment before 1/31/25, you'll be first to hear about the 10% discounted SAFE (e.g. in Q2 2026)
  • Q: Will I know how and where my investment is contributing? 
    • A: Yes. Formally and informally we'll continue to update our Advisory Board on where investments are and why.
    • A: Perhaps one of the most attractive parts of a GO investment is how we scale. Through patience and preparation, our team has bootstrapped a near zero-overhead product that scales 1:1 alongside additional Partners, users, and monetization. In other words, before making further 2026 Pre-Seed investments you'd be privy to how GO is scaling. This transparency is an absolute rarity for most early stage investments.
  • Q: How much should I invest? 
    • There is no right answer. The average commitment is hovering around two 2-3 tickets or $10,000-$15,000. Against the advice of startup minds in our network, we'll mention that we don't believe we need more than $100K (40% of the Pre-Seed) to Go-to-Market. Hence the scaling comments in the above question. But such flexibility and upside is the benefit of having bootstrapped a product thoroughly and not being beholden to major share-holders or production constraints.

What is a SAFE? (Best read on desktop)

A SAFE allows investors to make an investment now which will convert into shares in the next priced round at a valuation to be determined in that round.

About your investment

You’re investing some multiple of $5,000 (e.g. US$10,000) in Gotham Oracle, which will convert into shares when we do our next priced round.
If we have a new priced round, your investment will convert into shares at a valuation that’s the lower of:
(i) a discount of 20% applied to the price per share paid by new investors in that priced round, and

(ii) a YC post-money cap of US$2,500,000.

How will I invest? 

We've partnered with SeedLegals to help shepherd our journey through Series A and beyond. The below example document can answer the most specific questions you might have about your SAFE.

PDF example below best navigated on desktop.

Please see example SAFE that you'll receive a mirror copy of via email after January 15th, 2026.

Grab me (Quinn) for coffee or dinner ASAP if you'd like.
We'd love YOU to be a part of it all. 2026 and beyond will be incredible for New York City. Let's GO!

Cheers,

The GO Team
