Business Model
IAGT is the only Web 2.0 Social Networking Car Pool web site on the NET that puts travellers in touch with one another before they make a journey. Our aim is to reduce the number of cars on the roads and at the same time make introductions. IAGT puts members of our online community from the same geographical locations, traveling to the same desitinations together. This saves money, inconvenience and more importantly our environment.

The strategy is to move as quickly as possible into the 3 designated market segments below. These markets represent excellent growth potential and are presently not being pursued. We will change the way we travel through Social Networking.
1. Business - Corporate Social Responsibility - Advertising Revenue.
2. Leisure - Social & Event Travel - Advertising Revenue.
3. Student - Safety, Cleaner, Cheaper - Advertising Revenue.
