Organization, Consolidation and Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
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 in revenue and has financed its operations through (a) the Recapitalization transaction with Parent, (b) a loan from Parent that was cancelled upon closing of the Recapitalization and (c) two private placements of common stock in April and October 2017. The Company has incurred operating losses and negative operating cash flows, and it expects to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows for at least the next year. As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
As fully described in Note 11, in April 2017, the Company completed a private placement of its common stock, raising proceeds of $3.5 million net of cash offering costs. In October 2017, the Company completed a private placement of its common stock, raising proceeds of $2.7 million, net of cash offering costs. As fully described in Note 13, in January 2018 and March 2018, the Company raised pursuant to a private placement $3,000,000 and $1,250,000, respectively. The $3 million was received prior to December 31, 2017 and was classified as Restricted Cash in the December 31, 2017 balance sheet and then subsequently reclassified to Cash in January 2018 upon completion of the private placement. In addition, the investment was classified as Investor Demand Payable in the December 31, 2017 balance sheet and then subsequently reclassified to equity in January 2018 upon completion of the private placement. The Company believes that it does not have sufficient funds to support its operations through the end of the first quarter of 2019. In order to continue business operations past that point, the Company currently anticipates that it will need to raise additional debt and/or equity capital. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure any such additional financing on acceptable terms and conditions, or at all. If cash resources become insufficient to satisfy the Company’s ongoing cash requirements, the Company will be required to scale back or discontinue its technology development programs, or obtain funds, if available (although there can be no certainty), or to discontinue its operations entirely.
 
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.
