Basis of Presentation TheMaven Network, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on July 22, 2016, under the name “Amplify Media, Inc.” On July 27, 2016, the corporate name was amended to “Amplify Media Network, Inc.” and on October 14, 2016, the corporate name was changed to “TheMaven Network, Inc.”. On March 5, 2018 the corporate name was changed to Maven Coalition, Inc.

As the Subsidiary is deemed to be the purchaser for accounting purposes under reverse recapitalization accounting, the Company’s financial statements are presented as a continuation of Subsidiary, and the accounting for the Recapitalization is equivalent to the issuance of stock by Subsidiary for the net monetary assets of Parent as of the Closing accompanied by a recapitalization. See Note 9 for summary of the assets acquired, transaction costs and the consideration exchanged in the Recapitalization. |

Substantial Doubt about Going Concern [Text Block] | 3. Going Concern The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need for additional capital, as described below. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has generated less than $ 100,000 As fully described in Note 11, in April 2017, the Company completed a private placement of its common stock, raising proceeds of $ 3.5 2.7 As fully described in Note 13, in January 2018 and March 2018, the Company raised pursuant to a private placement $ 3,000,000 1,250,000 3 From January 1, 2018 to April 30, 2018, the Company has continued to incur operating losses and negative cash flow from operating and investing activities. The Company has been able to raise $1,250,000 in gross proceeds pursuant to a private placement of its common stock. However, the Company’s cash balance at April 30, 2018 is approximately $257,000. In order to fully fund operations through the end of May 2018, the Company will need to raise approximately $850,000. There can be no assurance that Maven will be able to obtain the necessary funds on terms acceptable to it or at all. Additional funds for working capital will be required to fund operations past May 31, 2018. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. We will pursue various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 4. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Subsidiary for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016 and that of Integrated after the Closing (see Note 2). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Digital Media Content The Company operates a coalition of online media channels and will provide digital media (text, audio and video) over the Internet that users may access on demand. As a broadcaster that transmits third party content owned by our channel partners via digital media, the Company applies ASC 920, “Entertainment Broadcasters”. The channel partners generally receive variable amounts of consideration that are dependent upon the calculation of revenue earned by the channel in a given month, referred to as a “revenue share”, that are payable in arrears. In certain circumstances, there is a monthly fixed fee minimum or a fixed yield (“revenue per 1000 impressions”) based on the volume of advertising impressions served. We disclose fixed dollar commitments for channel content licenses in Note 12 Commitments and Contingencies. Channel partner agreements that include fixed yield based on the volume of impressions served are not included in Note 12 because they cannot be quantified but are expected to be significant. The expense related to channel partner agreements are reported in “Service Costs” in the Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The cash payments related to channel partner agreements are classified within “Net cash used in operating activities” on the Statements of Cash Flows. Revenue Recognition During the third quarter of 2017, the Company adopted ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” as the accounting standard for revenue recognition. Since the Company had not previously generated revenue from customers the Company did not have to transition its accounting method from ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company generates all of its revenue from contracts with customers. The following is a description of the principal activities from which the Company generates revenue: Advertising The Company enters into contracts with advertising networks to serve display or video advertisements on the digital media pages associated with our various channels. In accordance with ASC 606 the Company recognizes revenue from advertisements at the point in time when each ad is viewed as reported by our advertising network partners. The quantity of advertisements, the impression bid prices and revenue are reported on a real-time basis. Although reported advertising transactions are subject to adjustment by the advertising network partners, any such adjustments are known within a few days of month end. The Company owes our independent publisher channel partners a revenue share of the advertising revenue earned and this is recorded as service costs in the same period in which the associated advertising revenue is recognized. Membership The Company enters into contracts with Internet users that subscribe to premium content on the digital media channels. These contracts provide Internet users with a subscription to access the premium content for a given period of time, which is generally one year. In accordance with ASC 606 the Company recognizes revenue from each membership subscription over time based on a daily calculation of revenue during the reporting period. Subscribers make payment for a subscription by credit card and the amount of the subscription collected in cash is initially recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. As the Company provides access to the premium content over the subscription term the Company recognizes revenue and proportionately reduces the deferred revenue balance. The Company owes our independent publisher channel partners a revenue share of the membership revenue earned and this is initially deferred as deferred contract costs. The Company recognizes deferred contract costs over the subscription term in the same pattern that the associated membership revenue is recognized. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by product line, geographical market and timing of revenue recognition: Year Ended December 31, 2017 Advertising Membership Total By Product Lines: $62,777 $14,218 $76,995 United States Other Total By Geographical Markets: $76,995 $- $76,995 At a Point in Time Over Time Total By Timing of Revenue Recognition: $62,777 $14,218 $76,995 Contract Balances The following table provides information about contract balances as of December 31, 2017: Advertising Membership Total Accounts receivable $52,348 $854 $53,202 Short-term contract assets (deferred contract costs) - $14,147 $14,147 Short-term contract liabilities (deferred revenue) - $31,437 $31,437 The Company receives payments from advertising customers based upon contractual payment terms; accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and are generally collected within 90 days. The Company generally receives payments from membership customers at the time of sign up for each subscription; accounts receivable from merchant credit card processors are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and are generally collected weekly. Contract assets include contract fulfillment costs related to revenue shares owed to channel partners, which are amortized to expense over the same period with the associated revenue. Contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are recognized as revenue over time. The Company had no asset impairment charges related to contract assets in the period. Fixed Assets Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from disposition of property and equipment are included in income and expense when realized. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Office equipment and computers 3-5 years Furniture and fixtures 5-8 years Website development costs 2-3 years Intangible Assets The intangible assets consist of the cost of a purchased website domain name with an indefinite useful life. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The long-lived assets and intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. Management has determined that there was no impairment in the value of long-lived assets during the period ended December 31, 2017 and the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016. Website Development Costs In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company begins to capitalize website and software development costs for internal use when planning and design efforts are successfully completed and development is ready to commence. Costs incurred during planning and design, together with costs incurred for training and maintenance, are expensed as incurred and recorded in research and development expense within the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The Company places capitalized website and software development assets into service and commences depreciation/amortization when the applicable project or asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Once placed into service, the Company capitalizes qualifying costs of specified upgrades or enhancements to capitalized website and software development assets when the upgrade or enhancement will result in new or additional functionality. The Company capitalizes internal labor costs, including compensation, benefits and payroll taxes, incurred for certain capitalized website and software development projects related to the Company’s technology platform. The Company’s policy with respect to capitalized internal labor stipulates that labor costs for employees working on eligible internal use capital projects are capitalized as part of the historical cost of the project when the impact, as compared to expensing such labor costs, is material. Research and Development Research and development costs are charged to operations in the period incurred and amounted to $114,873 and $411,741 for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016, respectively. Fair Value Measurements Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” · Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. · Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. · Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company measures its derivative liability at fair value. The Company’s derivative liability is classified within Level 3 and are disclosed in Note 7. The carrying value of other current assets and liabilities are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. Concentrations of Credit Risk Cash and Restricted Cash The Company maintains cash and restricted cash at a bank where amounts on deposit may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit throughout the year. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk regarding its cash. The following table reconciles Total cash and restricted cash at December 31: 2017 2016 Cash $ 619,249 $ 598,294 Restricted cash 3,000,000 - Total cash and restricted cash $ 3,619,249 $ 598,294 Stock-based Compensation The Company provides stock-based compensation in the form of (a) restricted stock awards to employees, (b) vested stock grants to directors, (c) stock option grants to employees, directors and independent contractors, and (d) common stock warrants to Channel Partners and other independent contractors. The Company applies FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation,” when recording stock-based compensation to employees and directors. The estimated fair value of stock-based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. We have adopted ASU 2016-09 in 2016 with early application and account for actual forfeitures of awards as they occur. The fair value of restricted stock awards by Subsidiary at Inception was estimated on the date of the award using the exchange value used by Integrated and the Subsidiary to establish the relative voting control ratio in the Recapitalization. Restricted stock that was subject to an escrow arrangement and/or a performance condition in conjunction with the Recapitalization was remeasured and fair value was estimated using the quoted price of our common stock on the date of the Recapitalization. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the number of shares expected to be released from the performance condition escrow up to the expiration of the performance condition, which was December 31, 2017. The fair value of fully vested stock awards is estimated using the quoted price of our common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of stock option awards is estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and option life. The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with provisions of FASB ASC 505-50, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Equity instruments that are issued to non-employees in exchange for the receipt of goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliability measurable. The measurement date occurs as of the earlier of (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b) absent a performance commitment, the date at which the performance necessary to earn the equity instruments is complete (that is, the vesting date). Equity grants with performance conditions that do not have sufficiently large disincentive for non-performance may be measured at fair value that is not fixed until performance is complete. The fair value of common stock warrants is estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility. The Company recognizes expense for equity-based payments to non-employees as the services are received. The Company has specific objective criteria, such as the date of launch of a Channel on the Company’s platform, for determination of the period over which services are received and expense is recognized. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the number of shares expected to be earned by certain Channel Partners based on performance obligations to be satisfied over a defined period which will commence at the launch of a Channel on the Company’s platform up to the expiration of the performance condition, which was December 31, 2017. The Company issues common stock upon exercise of equity awards and warrants. Income Taxes The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements to give effect to the temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods and allowances based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years. Deferred tax assets arising primarily as a result of net operating loss carry-forwards and research and development credits have been offset completely by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their utilization in future periods. The Company recognizes interest accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expense. During the year ended December 31, 2017 and the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016, the Company recognized no income tax related interest and penalties. The Company had no accruals for income tax related interest and penalties at December 31, 2017. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the U.S. federal corporate income tax law which included a decrease in the U.S. federal corporate rate from 34% to 21%. See Note 10 Income Taxes for further discussion. Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share Basic income or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and excludes any dilutive effects of common stock equivalent shares, such as options, restricted stock, and warrants. Restricted stock is considered outstanding and included in the computation of basic income or loss per share when underlying restrictions expire and the shares are no longer forfeitable. Diluted income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. Unvested but outstanding restricted stock (which are forfeitable) are included in the diluted income per share calculation. In a period where there is a net loss, the diluted loss per share is computed using the basic share count. At December 31, 2017, potentially dilutive shares outstanding amounted to 11,865,936. Risks and Uncertainties The Company has a limited operating history and has not generated revenue to date. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, fluctuations in debt and equity capital markets and the general condition of the U.S. and world economy. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse developments in these general business and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations. In addition, the Company will compete with many companies that currently have extensive and well-funded projects, marketing and sales operations as well as extensive human capital. The Company may be unable to compete successfully against these companies. The Company’s industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology and market demands. As a result, the Company’s products, services, and/or expertise may become obsolete and/or unmarketable. The Company’s future success will depend on its ability to adapt to technological advances, anticipate customer and market demands, and enhance its current technology under development. Recently Adopted Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (ASC 606) - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”) Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Step 3: Determine the transaction price. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. ASC 606 requires the Company to make significant judgments and estimates. ASC 606 also requires more extensive disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The FASB has also issued several additional ASUs which amend ASU 2014-09. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASC 606. The Company adopted ASC 606 in the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and began recognition of revenue from contracts with customers as a result of the launch of its network operations. Since the Company had not previously generated revenue from customers the Company did not have to transition its accounting method from ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 (ASU 2015-17), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes In March 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-05 (ASU 2018-05), Income Taxes (Topic 740, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SEC Update). ASU 2018-05 provided guidance regarding the income tax accounting implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017. Management has adopted this standard in 2017 and it did not have a material effect on the financial statements and related disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. |

Temporary Equity Disclosure [Text Block] | 7. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorized 1,000,000 As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s only outstanding series of convertible preferred stock is the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series G”). The Series G stock has a stated value of $ 1,000 conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest sale price of the common stock on its listed market over the five trading days preceding the date of conversion (“Beneficial Conversion Feature”), subject to a maximum conversion price. For the period ended December 31, 2017, no shares of Series G were converted into shares of common stock. At December 31, 2017, the outstanding Series G shares were convertible into a minimum of 98,698 Upon a change in control, sale of or similar transaction, as defined in the Certificate of Designation for the Series G, the holder of the Series G has the option to deem such transaction as a liquidation and may redeem his or her shares at the liquidation value of $ 1,000 168,496 The conversion feature of the preferred stock is considered a derivative according to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, and the fair value of the derivative is reflected in the financial statements as a liability, which was determined to be $ 72,563 137,177 The fair value of the conversion feature liability is calculated under a Black-Scholes Model, using the market price of the Company’s common stock on each of the balance sheet dates presented, the expected dividend yield, the expected life of the redemption and the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and considering factors specific to the conversion feature liability. Since some of the assumptions used by the Company are unobservable, the conversion feature liability is classified within level 3 hierarchy in the fair value measurement. The expected volatility of the conversion feature liability was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected life assumption was based on the expected remaining life of the underlying preferred stock redemption. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the conversion feature liability was based on the average market rate on U.S. treasury securities in effect during the applicable quarter. The dividend yield reflected historical experience as well as future expectations over the expected term of the underlying preferred stock redemption. Therefore, the fair value of the conversion feature liability is sensitive to changes in above assumptions and changes of the Company’s common stock price. Expected life of the redemption in years 1.0 Risk free interest rate 1.75 % Expected annual volatility 93.95 % Annual rate of dividends 0 % Beginning as of January 1, 2017 $ 137,177 Decrease in fair value (64,614) Ending balance as of December 31, 2017 $ 72,563 Expected life of the redemption in years 1.0 Risk free interest rate .85 % Expected annual volatility 174.84 % Annual rate of dividends 0 % Beginning as of January 1, 2016 $ 138,562 Decrease in fair value (1,385) Ending balance as of December 31, 2016 $ 137,177 |

Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | 8. Recapitalization As described in Note 2, the Company has accounted for the Recapitalization, which closed on November 4, 2016, as a reverse recapitalization. Because Integrated was a non-operating public shell corporation the transaction is considered to be a capital transaction in substance rather than a business combination. The transaction is equivalent to the issuance of stock by the Subsidiary for the net monetary assets of the Parent accompanied by a recapitalization. Prior to the Recapitalization, Integrated had 9,530,379 4.13607 12,517,152 22,047,531 Integrated and Subsidiary agreed to the terms of Recapitalization to reflect the arms-length negotiated fair value of the Subsidiary as $ 2.5 56.7 The following table summarizes the calculation of the relative voting control: Shares Per Share Fair Value Voting % Integrated shareholders pre-Recapitalization 9,530,379 $ 0.20 1,903,464 43.3 % Integrated options pre-Recapitalization 175,000 - 0.0 % Warrant issued to MDB Capital Group 1,169,607 - 0.0 % Maven Coalition, Inc. shareholders 12,517,152 $ 0.20 2,500,000 56.7 % Total fully diluted shares 23,392,138 4,403,464 100.0 % Shares issued and outstanding as of November 4, 2016 22,047,531 In accordance with the Investment Banking Advisory Agreement more fully described in Note 11, Integrated issued warrants to MDB Capital Group, LLC to purchase 1,169,607 0.20 November 4, 2021 921,698 744,105 177,593 583,000 The transaction resulted in the acquisition of gross assets of $ 1,447,000 470,000 168 168,496 Prior to the closing of the Recapitalization, the Subsidiary had received $ 735,099 50,000 |

The fair value of restricted stock awards is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of stock option awards are estimated at the grant date as calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Company’s financial statements and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Parent’s net operating loss carryforwards (NOL) and credit carryforwards are subject to limitations on the use of the NOLs by the Company in consolidated tax returns after the Reverse Recapitalization. Where there is a “change in ownership” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Parent’s net operating loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation. The Company believes that such an ownership change occurred because the shareholders of the Subsidiary acquired 56.7 percent of the Parent’s stock. Because the Parent’s value at the date of recapitalization was attributable solely to non-business assets, the utilization of the carryforwards is limited such that the majority of the carryforwards will never be available. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded those NOL carryforwards and credit carryforwards in its deferred tax assets. The Parent is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2013. The Company currently is not under examination by any tax authority. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to U.S. federal corporate income tax law. Changes include, but are not limited to, a U.S. federal corporate tax rate decrease from 34 21 838,000 : 2017 2016 Deferred tax assets: Accrued liabilities not currently deductible $ 38,328 $ 64,210 Deferred Revenue net of deferred costs 3,631 - Stock based compensation 130,075 - Net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards 1,544,591 506,259 Gross deferred tax assets 1,716,625 570,469 Valuation allowance (1,353,207) (417,581) Gross deferred tax assets net of valuation allowance 363,418 152,888 Deferred tax liabilities Stock-based compensation 10,268 16,625 Website development costs and fixed assets 353,150 136,263 Net deferred tax asset $ - $ - As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had deferred tax assets primarily consisting of its net operating losses and accrued liabilities not currently deductible. Utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by the Internal Revenue Code Section 382, as well as similar state provisions. However, because of the current loss since Inception, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance such that its net deferred tax asset is zero. The change in the valuation allowance was $ 920,356 370,470 The Company must make judgments as to whether the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. To the extent that the Company believes that recovery is not likely, it must establish a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance has been established for deferred tax assets which the Company does not believe meet the “more likely than not” criteria. The Company’s judgments regarding future taxable income may change due to changes in market conditions, changes in tax laws, tax planning strategies or other factors. If the Company’s assumptions and consequently its estimates change in the future, the valuation allowances it has established may be increased or decreased, resulting in a respective increase or decrease in income tax expense. At December 31, 2017, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 7.3 2017 2016 Federal benefit expected at statutory rate $ (2,136,666) 34 % $ (743,838) 34.0 % Permanent differences 378,611 (6.0 % ) 373,368 (17.1 )% Impact of tax rate change 837,699 (13.3 % ) - - Change in valuation allowance 920,356 (14.7 % ) 370,470 (16.9 %) Tax benefit and effective tax rate $ - - % $ - - % The Company recognizes tax benefits from an uncertain position only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable, based on its technical merits. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties in general and administrative expenses. There were no interest and penalties recorded for the year ended December 31, 2017 or for the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016. The Company has evaluated and concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2017. |

If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations. |
Significant Accounting Polici20
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2017 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Subsidiary for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016 and that of Integrated after the Closing (see Note 2). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. |
Digital Media Content [Policy Text Block] | Digital Media Content The Company operates a coalition of online media channels and will provide digital media (text, audio and video) over the Internet that users may access on demand. As a broadcaster that transmits third party content owned by our channel partners via digital media, the Company applies ASC 920, “Entertainment Broadcasters”. The channel partners generally receive variable amounts of consideration that are dependent upon the calculation of revenue earned by the channel in a given month, referred to as a “revenue share”, that are payable in arrears. In certain circumstances, there is a monthly fixed fee minimum or a fixed yield (“revenue per 1000 impressions”) based on the volume of advertising impressions served. We disclose fixed dollar commitments for channel content licenses in Note 12 Commitments and Contingencies. Channel partner agreements that include fixed yield based on the volume of impressions served are not included in Note 12 because they cannot be quantified but are expected to be significant. The expense related to channel partner agreements are reported in “Service Costs” in the Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The cash payments related to channel partner agreements are classified within “Net cash used in operating activities” on the Statements of Cash Flows. |
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Revenue Recognition During the third quarter of 2017, the Company adopted ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” as the accounting standard for revenue recognition. Since the Company had not previously generated revenue from customers the Company did not have to transition its accounting method from ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company generates all of its revenue from contracts with customers. The following is a description of the principal activities from which the Company generates revenue: Advertising The Company enters into contracts with advertising networks to serve display or video advertisements on the digital media pages associated with our various channels. In accordance with ASC 606 the Company recognizes revenue from advertisements at the point in time when each ad is viewed as reported by our advertising network partners. The quantity of advertisements, the impression bid prices and revenue are reported on a real-time basis. Although reported advertising transactions are subject to adjustment by the advertising network partners, any such adjustments are known within a few days of month end. The Company owes our independent publisher channel partners a revenue share of the advertising revenue earned and this is recorded as service costs in the same period in which the associated advertising revenue is recognized. Membership The Company enters into contracts with Internet users that subscribe to premium content on the digital media channels. These contracts provide Internet users with a subscription to access the premium content for a given period of time, which is generally one year. In accordance with ASC 606 the Company recognizes revenue from each membership subscription over time based on a daily calculation of revenue during the reporting period. Subscribers make payment for a subscription by credit card and the amount of the subscription collected in cash is initially recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. As the Company provides access to the premium content over the subscription term the Company recognizes revenue and proportionately reduces the deferred revenue balance. The Company owes our independent publisher channel partners a revenue share of the membership revenue earned and this is initially deferred as deferred contract costs. The Company recognizes deferred contract costs over the subscription term in the same pattern that the associated membership revenue is recognized. Disaggregation of Revenue Year Ended December 31, 2017 Advertising Membership Total By Product Lines: $62,777 $14,218 $76,995 United States Other Total By Geographical Markets: $76,995 $- $76,995 At a Point in Time Over Time Total By Timing of Revenue Recognition: $62,777 $14,218 $76,995 Contract Balances Advertising Membership Total Accounts receivable $52,348 $854 $53,202 Short-term contract assets (deferred contract costs) - $14,147 $14,147 Short-term contract liabilities (deferred revenue) - $31,437 $31,437 The Company receives payments from advertising customers based upon contractual payment terms; accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and are generally collected within 90 days. The Company generally receives payments from membership customers at the time of sign up for each subscription; accounts receivable from merchant credit card processors are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and are generally collected weekly. Contract assets include contract fulfillment costs related to revenue shares owed to channel partners, which are amortized to expense over the same period with the associated revenue. Contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are recognized as revenue over time. The Company had no asset impairment charges related to contract assets in the period. |
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from disposition of property and equipment are included in income and expense when realized. Office equipment and computers 3 5 Furniture and fixtures 5 8 Website development costs 2 3 |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Intangible Assets The intangible assets consist of the cost of a purchased website domain name with an indefinite useful life. |
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The long-lived assets and intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. Management has determined that there was no impairment in the value of long-lived assets during the period ended December 31, 2017 and the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016. |
Capitalization of Internal Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Website Development Costs In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company begins to capitalize website and software development costs for internal use when planning and design efforts are successfully completed and development is ready to commence. Costs incurred during planning and design, together with costs incurred for training and maintenance, are expensed as incurred and recorded in research and development expense within the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The Company places capitalized website and software development assets into service and commences depreciation/amortization when the applicable project or asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Once placed into service, the Company capitalizes qualifying costs of specified upgrades or enhancements to capitalized website and software development assets when the upgrade or enhancement will result in new or additional functionality. The Company capitalizes internal labor costs, including compensation, benefits and payroll taxes, incurred for certain capitalized website and software development projects related to the Company’s technology platform. The Company’s policy with respect to capitalized internal labor stipulates that labor costs for employees working on eligible internal use capital projects are capitalized as part of the historical cost of the project when the impact, as compared to expensing such labor costs, is material. |
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Research and Development Research and development costs are charged to operations in the period incurred and amounted to $ 114,873 411,741 |
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fair Value Measurements Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ⋅ Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. ⋅ Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. ⋅ Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company measures its derivative liability at fair value. The Company’s derivative liability is classified within Level 3 and are disclosed in Note 7. The carrying value of other current assets and liabilities are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. |
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Concentrations of Credit Risk |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | The Company maintains cash and restricted cash at a bank where amounts on deposit may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit throughout the year. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk regarding its cash. 2017 2016 Cash $ 619,249 $ 598,294 Restricted cash 3,000,000 - Total cash and restricted cash $ 3,619,249 $ 598,294 |
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | Stock-based Compensation The Company provides stock-based compensation in the form of (a) restricted stock awards to employees, (b) vested stock grants to directors, (c) stock option grants to employees, directors and independent contractors, and (d) common stock warrants to Channel Partners and other independent contractors. The Company applies FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation,” when recording stock-based compensation to employees and directors. The estimated fair value of stock-based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. We have adopted ASU 2016-09 in 2016 with early application and account for actual forfeitures of awards as they occur. The fair value of restricted stock awards by Subsidiary at Inception was estimated on the date of the award using the exchange value used by Integrated and the Subsidiary to establish the relative voting control ratio in the Recapitalization. Restricted stock that was subject to an escrow arrangement and/or a performance condition in conjunction with the Recapitalization was remeasured and fair value was estimated using the quoted price of our common stock on the date of the Recapitalization. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the number of shares expected to be released from the performance condition escrow up to the expiration of the performance condition, which was December 31, 2017. The fair value of fully vested stock awards is estimated using the quoted price of our common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of stock option awards is estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and option life. The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with provisions of FASB ASC 505-50, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Equity to non-employees The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the number of shares expected to be earned by certain Channel Partners based on performance obligations to be satisfied over a defined period which will commence at the launch of a Channel on the Company’s platform up to the expiration of the performance condition, which was December 31, 2017. The Company issues common stock upon exercise of equity awards and warrants. |
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements to give effect to the temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods and allowances based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years. Deferred tax assets arising primarily as a result of net operating loss carry-forwards and research and development credits have been offset completely by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their utilization in future periods. The Company recognizes interest accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expense. During the year ended December 31, 2017 and the period from July 22, 2016 (Inception) to December 31, 2016, the Company recognized no income tax related interest and penalties. The Company had no accruals for income tax related interest and penalties at December 31, 2017. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the U.S. federal corporate income tax law which included a decrease in the U.S. federal corporate rate from 34 21 |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share Basic income or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and excludes any dilutive effects of common stock equivalent shares, such as options, restricted stock, and warrants. Restricted stock is considered outstanding and included in the computation of basic income or loss per share when underlying restrictions expire and the shares are no longer forfeitable. Diluted income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. Unvested but outstanding restricted stock (which are forfeitable) are included in the diluted income per share calculation. In a period where there is a net loss, the diluted loss per share is computed using the basic share count. At December 31, 2017, potentially dilutive shares outstanding amounted to 11,865,936 |
Risks and Uncertainties [Policy Text Block] | Risks and Uncertainties The Company has a limited operating history and has not generated revenue to date. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, fluctuations in debt and equity capital markets and the general condition of the U.S. and world economy. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse developments in these general business and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations. In addition, the Company will compete with many companies that currently have extensive and well-funded projects, marketing and sales operations as well as extensive human capital. The Company may be unable to compete successfully against these companies. The Company’s industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology and market demands. As a result, the Company’s products, services, and/or expertise may become obsolete and/or unmarketable. The Company’s future success will depend on its ability to adapt to technological advances, anticipate customer and market demands, and enhance its current technology under development. |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (Policy Text Block) | Recently Adopted Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (ASC 606) - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”) Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Step 3: Determine the transaction price. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. ASC 606 requires the Company to make significant judgments and estimates. ASC 606 also requires more extensive disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The FASB has also issued several additional ASUs which amend ASU 2014-09. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASC 606. The Company adopted ASC 606 in the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and began recognition of revenue from contracts with customers as a result of the launch of its network operations. Since the Company had not previously generated revenue from customers the Company did not have to transition its accounting method from ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 (ASU 2015-17), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes In March 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-05 (ASU 2018-05), Income Taxes (Topic 740, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SEC Update). ASU 2018-05 provided guidance regarding the income tax accounting implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017. Management has adopted this standard in 2017 and it did not have a material effect on the financial statements and related disclosures. |
