Four patents built. Two venues proven. Now the path to scale.

Three phases, in order. The build-and-prove phase is behind the company: the IP is issued and the system is deployed and measured. The raise sits at the hinge between proof and scale. The scale phase is what the capital funds, and it ends at a recurring-revenue base large enough to cross into profitability. The expansion verticals are a fourth phase the company has the issued IP to pursue but does not need to fund the core thesis.

The IP did not arrive all at once. It was built layer by layer over four years, each grant closing a different gap a competitor would have to clear. By May 2024 the fortress was complete: the hardware, the full system, the enabling physics, and the expansion into adjacent verticals were all issued, not pending.

Each patent number is verified against the issued filing on file before the moat page asserts coverage. The moat page walks the four as one wall in full.

Alongside the IP, the system went into real venues. A Gaming and Sports Entertainment Group ran it and produced measured first-year results. The same system ran across the 2022 and 2023 MLB seasons, which is the first evidence the result holds outside a single venue type. This is deployed and measured, not a pilot deck.

The Gaming loss-reduction figure is carried as the single Gaming first-year 35 percent shrinkage result; other loss-reduction figures from older materials are dropped and logged to the register so no inconsistency reaches an investor.

The company is raising $6M at a $52.5M pre-money valuation, for a 10.26 percent stake. The round sits at the hinge between proof and scale. It does not fund invention, which is done. It funds the distribution engine, the manufacturing-and-supply readiness, and the runway to breakeven. The timing argument is the close: the system is proven and the IP is issued, so this round funds distribution, the lower-risk capital to deploy.

The scale plan grows the venue base from the proof deployments to 6,000 venues by Year 5, roughly 3 percent of the serviceable market of about 200,000 liquor-serving venues. The growth is front-loaded into building the engine, then compounds as the recurring base grows and each new venue costs less to win than the last. The figures below are the aggressive case of the validated five-year model; the base and conservative cases apply venue-adoption haircuts.

The Year-5 revenue figure of roughly $51.4M is the aggressive case of the reconciled model. Every figure on the financial pages traces to that validated model, not to older deck numbers. Projections are forward-looking targets, not guarantees.

The model invests early and crosses into positive net income in Year 3, then runs operating leverage as the recurring base compounds against a cost structure that grows far more slowly than revenue. Annual breakeven revenue is roughly $3.5M, which the model clears in Year 3. In the conservative case, breakeven slips to Year 4.

The expansion patent (US 11,983,670) already covers solids, liquids, chemicals, and parts, which means the same mat reaches medical supply, government and military, chemical, and retail inventory. This is real optionality because the IP is already issued. It is deliberately sequenced after the core: the valuation and the model stand on hospitality alone, and the verticals are upside the company holds the IP to pursue once the beachhead is won.

The same sequence as one continuous timeline: the patents and proof in the past, the raise at the present, the scale plan and breakeven ahead, and the expansion verticals as the gated final phase.
