I am confident that the value of these patents will make me a multi-billionaire. Therefore the following applies:
The current round of requested investment is specifically for the production of a prototype. This is considered a Pre-Seed amount and the returns will be higher on this portion than in future solicitations for funding.
For the first $100,000 of investment I am offering a 50 to 1 return, that is $50 for every $1 you invest as well as a 3% rate of my net profits for 5 years. No sums smaller than $10,000 will be accepted for this return rate. Smaller sums are subject to negotiated amounts if I do choose to accept such (it is possible/probable I will crowd fund a portion and those who fund that portion will be made a different sort of offer entirely)
The next $900,000 invested will be at 40 to 1 in returns as well as a 5% portion of the profits I generate for 7 years. This demonstrates that for $1,000,000 in investment I am willing to give up $41,000,000 in profits plus a significant portion of incomes.
Further investment, up to $1,000,000 additional past the first million, will be at $20 to 1 in returns with a 3% rate from my net profits over 5 years.
All investors from the above will be given licensing priorities equal to a 5% to 10% price reduction versus their bid. Aka if they bid $1 a unit for licensing costs they will only have to pay $0.95 instead for the first five years. The rate is 5% for any who invest under $100,000 and 10% for those who invest $100,000 or more. Additionally they gain the same for future patents I produce in which they wish to license. These licenses are for direct issue and may not be resold to others.
Investors are warned that I will not be bound to their price points as we are in prototype stages and do not have an adequate picture of any possible costs (or savings) the invention produces. This means if you have an offer based upon my licensing the technology for a specific price per unit or other measurement that I will not be willing to participate on that with SEED level funding.
Investors are warned that it is my intent to offer exclusive market area licenses and/or general licenses for manufacturing equipment using my technologies. Exclusive will obviously have a higher value in some consideration to make it worthwhile but may get limited to a specific niche of the market (smart phones and tablets and not real computers for example)
Expected prototype costs will be $100,000 per type of storage medium tested. This is based off of previous prototype requests I solicited based on a Long-Term data storage system that is part of my side ventures. Additional costs are: Further Patents, Patent Protection (my lawyer), marketing, further development if needed, software coding,
I reserve the right to change these terms up until actual investment has happened and then the terms of that investment are the ones which remain in place for any potential followups up to the maximum requested in pre-seed ($2,000,000). However those changes are not likely to be made if investment opportunities have come forward except to a possible mutual benefit type arrangement. I further suggest that I will be on great business terms with those who license this technology, and will be on the proverbial war path with any companies that decide to take and use it for themselves without licensing.
