Business Model

• compression & encryption is added to the global grid we are building. Customers get this as free add on but the cost of the storage saved - 20% = license fee to Zetako.
  • storage revenue can easily be hundreds of millions in 5Y, imagine Zetako saves only 20% at that time avg out.
  • this is through partner ThreeFold Tech
• oem license deals to other parties (Y2+)
  • for more advanced usecases (encryption)
  • better performance
• technology will stay opensource

Funding

ACI will invest 2.2m USD in this project, this will give ACI XX % ownership after 2Y.

remarks:

• sales is done by biz dev team at accelerator level
• most of legal, finance, admin done at accelerator level
• first 2 years we don't take sales into consideration for funding need (just to be conservative)
• the value impact is much higher compared to the cash contribution
• Q3 an acquistion of shares has been planned for an existing investor in Zetako (X% of the shares)
