Why Acer partnered, and Lenovo is struggling
Partnership Strategy
"Building our own would cost $50M and take 2 years. With IrisGo, we launched in 6 months and started seeing recurring revenue immediately."
— Acer Product Team
Build In-House Strategy
Reality Check: By the time Lenovo launches, IrisGo partners will have:
Your Customers ↔ Our Ecosystem ↔ Your Revenue
Your users label AI training data for companies like Google, Meta, and OpenAI
Users buy AI Skills with earned tokens → Developers build more Skills → You earn from all transactions
Pre-installed on every PC you ship → Users discover annotation & Skills → Network effect compounds
More users → More data annotation → More OEM revenue → Better pre-install incentives → More users...
See your 3-year advantage in real numbers
