Investor Profile:
Due to the regulations of the Security and Exchange Commission, we need "qualified investors." By SEC's language, "The definitions accredit some investors based on their income, net worth, and assets. Natural persons qualify as accredited investors if they meet certain income or net worth tests. Accredited investors, for instance, include natural persons with individual incomes in excess of $200,000 (or joint spousal incomes of $300,000) for the two most recent years, if they reasonably expect to earn at least the same amount in the current year. Natural persons with individual (or joint, with a spouse) net worth over $1 million also are considered to be accredited investors." The major purpose for these rules is to insure that the people investing are knowledgeable and experienced enough to understand the potential risks in an investment. For institutional investors, your net assets need to be a minimum of $5,000,000.
Management Team
The power of this team is to:
- Bring extensive automotive experience in all areas
- Bring start-up and funding experience
- Build EcoV cost effectively
- Market and sell EcoV
The intellectual property is a trade-secret held by the team on how to do the integration of product, suppliers, and processes. These understandings allow the company to reduce overheads & fixed costs to the point where it is a barrier to entry in duplicating EcoV from a product and profitability standpoint.
