00:00:00
good afternoon everyone uh she said my name is greg i'm one of the founders of science uh
00:00:05
there we go so science is uh in existing incubator better fun with about the just
00:00:11
under two hundred million dollars on the management at this point across or multiple vehicles
00:00:16
just like the last speaker we're running a securities offering for tokens so
00:00:22
all that disclaimer language that says basically everything i'm going to say is only probable possible we expect we anticipate
00:00:28
so if any of her friends are listening from the s. e. c. these are all forward looking statements
00:00:33
uh so you know we're ultimately the leading from in los angeles that is attracting early stage is is is
00:00:39
we get involved in the early stages with with the entrepreneur is we're looking to build something big
00:00:44
uh over the last five years we founded this isn't actually actually outdated
00:00:50
uh more than eighty companies uh we've created a more than
00:00:54
two billion dollars and likely value you've raised almost forty million dollars
00:00:58
in fall on investment for portfolio we've got five businesses acquired
00:01:02
including the most and sort of most well known a dollar shape but which was
00:01:06
acquired for a billion dollars cash by you know we were last year
00:01:09
we've also so companies to google in your times among others were turned all
00:01:13
of the capital for our initial investors uh in under four years
00:01:17
and we're now starting a block chain incubator we've got a great team my co
00:01:22
founders mike jones he's does your my space heater fan who probably half the
00:01:27
people in this room know because isn't our job is to raise money uh
00:01:30
and town there who's taken multiple companies public with the core exactly fifteen
00:01:35
uh ultimately we've generated a repeatable process that allows us
00:01:39
to work with both externally and internally generated companies
00:01:42
so companies like dell or shape uh where we had an entrepreneur come to us was looking to grow a business
00:01:48
uh that ultimately over the course of one half years we built with an a or companies like how society that
00:01:54
result in your times uh where regenerated concert internally and then
00:01:58
parted with the management team to actually grow it
00:02:02
and we figured out how to identify the industries were interested in
00:02:05
it and why is the exits the value people cost
00:02:09
of doing these things and then decide whether or not this is a business we wanna be pursuing at all
00:02:14
uh once we make that decision but yes we're gonna pursue it then we look for the talent the team the money how are we gonna finance it
00:02:20
and then ultimately just test and refine into we figure out whether this is something that's going to be viable
00:02:26
retail businesses for more often than we found them we've we've developed a data driven process where
00:02:33
it is in in order processing every step of the way can be killed or we can go forward
00:02:37
so great an idea we designed it media tested at the data back from it redesign test again
00:02:43
and this is how we've been able to develop so many companies so quickly
00:02:46
uh in a very short period of time with the relatively limited capital
00:02:52
and as i mentioned before we attract the normal follow on investors to our companies
00:02:57
so to walk through how does work from a a a very brief discussion of dollar shape well
00:03:03
we identified in industry that we wanted to go into in this case e.
00:03:06
commerce we looked at the different revenue models that we found attractive
00:03:10
we hired team members as needed to actually help us uh evaluate the companies and then we evaluated dozens of them
00:03:17
doing was one that stood out as an entrepreneur with particular gift and promise
00:03:22
uh we negotiated a very preferred equity position in the company uh and then we paired
00:03:27
with and actually build the business from the ground up from the very beginning
00:03:30
uh as he scaled after your office he finally decided to move his
00:03:35
team of twenty five out uh and they uh i decided to
00:03:40
keep us on the border we remained on the board all the way through their transaction with your liver so we are
00:03:45
sort of cradle to exit investors we don't run classes we don't run cohorts
00:03:51
and now so so we're we've recently announced the creation of our block chain specific
00:03:55
incubator so this will focus on block chain of watching enable businesses only
00:04:02
everyone wants to know where the economics of like we have a very unique token structure uh that
00:04:08
we're very excited about because it's nothing like this is ervin tried before much too
00:04:13
our developers dismay when they have to actually create the talking to
00:04:16
do this uh because because the incubator won't both equity and
00:04:22
uh tokens in our startups are the holders of the science token will benefit from both of those value chains
00:04:29
so whenever the incubator creates a portfolio company in
00:04:34
that portfolio company has its own token sale
00:04:38
seventy percent of all the tokens that are held by the incubator are automatically flowed out to the holders of the science token
00:04:44
so we reward our investors where they are investors benefit from this potentially
00:04:49
limitless future stream of tokens from all the portfolio companies we create
00:04:55
and that's potentially limitless because we use the other thirty percent to sell
00:04:59
on an as needed basis to continue to refresh the incubator
00:05:02
so we've created an evergreen vehicle structure they can continue to flow out these tokens to the investors in the sign spoken
00:05:09
but that's only half of the equation because on the other side we have the equity the incubator loans
00:05:14
so when the next dollar shape club cells and the incubator owns
00:05:19
a significant portion of equity we take seventy percent of that equity and
00:05:23
use it to repurchase the size tokens in the open market
00:05:27
so we're reducing supply potentially increasing price uh and that means that there is a ever
00:05:33
shrinking supply of the science tokens that benefit from the future portfolio company token sales
00:05:40
and the other thirty percent is retained by management so this is not our first rodeo in addition to building you know
00:05:47
dozens and dozens of non block chain companies we've been involved in the space for the last four plus years
00:05:53
uh most recently that's look more like investing in other i. c. e. o.s
00:05:58
uh as we prepare for this and we've actually been running a trading desk uh to
00:06:01
learn more about the ice young market internally into gets mark on the space
00:06:06
and i have invested in in literally dozens if not hundreds of of icy isn't different tokens at this point
00:06:12
so the companies that we are looking to build look like a lot of the things we've heard about today
00:06:17
and we're pretty far down the road on several of these uh including vocalisation of asset backed securities
00:06:23
uh we are fundamentally believers in the fact protocol layer that most of the money
00:06:28
will be made protocol level and we have numerous uh companies or or uh
00:06:34
numerous concepts we're incubating it already in that in that area
00:06:39
uh and like we heard about in the last panel there's a distinct need for
00:06:42
the services in its infrastructure for this asset class that does not yet exist
00:06:46
uh and being you know alligators of other people's capital uh we
00:06:51
are very much used to having those tools at our disposal
00:06:56
uh we put together a great advisory board uh many of whom are
00:06:58
here today or speaking today or uh or will if you're
00:07:03
turning with us on the next at the key haven't into london i'm sure you'll see a lot of these faces around
00:07:07
so in terms of the private sale it started last monday with a maximum of ninety
00:07:12
nine us investors it's a two hundred fifty thousand dollar minimum rest of the
00:07:16
world with no limit on the number of investors although to fifty thousand dollar minimum
00:07:20
in the priest so there are no discounts no bonus and no bounty
00:07:25
it is a securities offering and any of those things but it into ponce scheme landed none of us wanna look
00:07:31
uh see what the inside of a jail cell looks like so we're there again no discounts
00:07:35
no bonus no bounty the public sale starts in another two and a half weeks
00:07:40
the minimums disappear unless you're paying with us dollars in which case there's still a twenty five thousand dollar minimum
00:07:46
