Summary
Practically all machines lose energy due to friction in their gears. The wasted energy costs trillions of dollars and emits gigatons of CO2 every year.
We have solved this problem by re-inventing the gears themselves. Instead of teeth grinding together, we use purely rolling balls for coupling of the gear wheels. We have practically no friction and no energy loss. The efficiency is nearly perfect 100%. We save the trillions of dollars and gigatons of CO2.
We target a gigantic $ 200 billion market covering every sector of the entire machine industry.
Our technology is deeptech. It is well protected by its complex physics know-how, and potentially massive IP portfolio.
Our team combines 2 physics PHDs, 3 engineering and 3 business MSCs, coming from companies like IBM, Oracle and Morgan Stanley, and universities in the US, Netherlands and Hungary.
We are already at TRL 6, patented in 11 countries and made € 300k in revenues so far.

Notable Achievements
- Our technology is well in hand, proven as a concept and also for some key features like high efficiency in several prototype tests. We have hundreds of companies in our network evaluating our technology, we have strong relationships. We made more than 50 pilot design projects with customers, sold 11 designs, 3 prototypes and 1 license. We made € 300k in revenues so far. We received over 20 awards in 7 countries including twice the EU's Seal of Excellence. Our angel investor is Mate Rimac, founder of a unicorn EV company - quite well-known, called 'Europe's Elon Musk.'

The Business
We run a dual business model. In one model, we are selling the technology: IP licenses, know-how, advisory and engineering services. This model is up and running already and we are making money. In the other model, we will be producing and selling gears in series. We have specific plans for this business model already and will start it up as soon as we have the necessary funding available. This dual business model has major synergies and is also massively scalable within and across hundreds of markets in the huge machinery industry.
Our business is based on a deeptech, hardware technology, and it is markedly IP and know-how driven. We aim to run an aggressive IP strategy in the future and submit about 3 patents every year next 20 years. We have full freedom to operate. We do not depend on other IPs. We are not a spin-off, we do not belong to a big corporate and we have a very simple cap table.
Our go to market strategy builds on the fact that we are selling innovation to customers. Our technology is a tool kit really, a platform, that can be used to produce innovative solutions to customers gearing problems. In this sense, in the technology model, we sell the developed new solution (license) to the customer and in the production model we sell the manufactured gears that are based on the new solutions.
We contact prospective customers typically directly. Discuss their problems and show them our capabilities and solution ideas. We develop in collaboration with them particular gears for their applications. We maintain the relationship with the customers, collaborate as partners and advisors, provide support and follow-ups, and also provide technology updates as we are developing it further in the future.
In terms of the financial targets for our company, our goal is to achieve 100 million euros in revenues, and become a unicorn in 7 years. IPO in 15 years.

The Market
Gears are key elements of all machines as they make the coupling between the power source such as the engine of a car and the application such as the wheels of the car. They are all around us. The gear market is gigantic of about $ 200 billion in size.
We are targeting the entire market, every sector of the huge machine industry. All vehicles: ground, air, water and space and also all non-vehicles like robots, wind turbines, factory lines, agri, heavy, construction and mining machineries. High-tech or low-tech, small or big. With our new gear technology we aim to transform the entire machine world.
In terms of competition, we are facing one dominant technology: the tooth gears. They have been around for 2000 years and have no room for further improvement. Our technology is new, however, a drastic paradigm shift, with major potentials for further advances. It is deeptech. It is hardware. It is well protected by its complex physics know-how, and potentially massive IP portfolio.
The technology provides major compatitive advantages for us in the market. It is practically impossible to reverse engineer it and even if re-invented it gives us 3-5 years of competitve edge - that we believe is particularly long.
The advantages of the technology include not only higher efficiency (that is lower costs and less CO2), but also smaller size, lower cost, lower noise and longer lifetime (also lower costs). In addition, we have higher precision and haptic movement capabilities - crucial in robotics. This is a fundamentally different technology that provides a number of further potentially subtle technical advantages - that may very well be drastically important in particular applications. Such advantages can be related to lubrication and clean environment, maintenance, design freedom and flexibility, exotic design solutions, more reliability and lower risk of jamming, malfunction and crashing. The list is long...

Objective/Future (Use of funds)
We will use the funds for a specific 2-year project where we will collaborate closely with 2-4 leading customers to continue and finish on-going developments and produce market-ready (TRL8) gear solutions for their particular applications.
Based on customer feedback, we are convinced that we will have plenty of interested partners for this project who, by the end of the 2 years, will buy licenses for our solutions and fund further developments themselves. This will ignite further projects with new customers and lead to exponential revenue growth for us.

Growth Roadmap
Out of the 100s of potential applications and markets, we chose electric vehicles as our beachhead. The reasons include 1. new and therefore highly innovative market and, as a result of this, lower barriers to entry for new and innovative technologies like ours, 2. due to high efficiency: energy (battery charging cost) and CO2 savings, plus also longer driving range and/or smaller battery size (a major pain point for electric vehicles), 3. relatively large number of further technical advantages resulting in various proposed values including smaller size, lower cost, lower complexity, lower noise etc. Further important reasons include 5. a booming market, 6. with very large potential future size and 7. social, political and political pressure and 8. looming climate crisis.
Once we set up business properly in the electric vehicles market in a couple of years, we plan to expand to others one by one. There are hundreds of other markets where we plan to go and the growth potential is immense. The only question is the selection order of the markets to follow an optimal path.
Ours is a deeptech fundamental technology that is based on one crucial idea and one core physics model underlying the basic mechanism. This means that the same fundamental technology can be re-used and re-applied in other applications and markets, following electric vehicles, with relatively small and quick adjustments and correspondingly low level of risk. This will ultimately result in quick completion of projects and fast customer service, and also high revenue growth for the company. It will also result in massive scalability within each market and also across the various markets.
Our growing track record and market visibility will exponentially increase our market acceptance and our business will scale up in a chain reaction resulting in exponential revenue growth.
Our goal is to achieve 100 million euros in revenues, and become a unicorn in 7 years. IPO in 15 years.
