Transaction Overview
The next round of funding will enable The Company to build prototypes and start road and air testing. To date, the functional flying prototypes (2.5 & 3.0) and latest validated engineering prototype (4.0) has cost less than €15m. The Company can expertly manage its cash burn and runway to deliver a feasible product to market and realise its ambitious goals
Investment Highlight
The Company has unique IP, an international world class team and initial product built under the current regulatory and certification framework, combining both functionalities – a car and anairplane like no other competitor.
Flying cars are becoming an investment target over the last 12 months and The Company is leading the way as a most advanced company with a real product.
At the heart of the investment is the desire to develop a strong business that is able to generate positive returns early, through the forward selling of the vehicle with staged payments, deposit and the licensing of proprietary technology and IP.

About Our Product
1st Generation: The Company 4.0 – market demonstrator (2020)
- The Company 4.0 is a two seater, medium distance flying car for travelling inter-city. It is fully designed to be certified within existing legislations for use in the air and on the road.
- Essentially The Company is two vehicles in one. It offers the best of both worlds: it is a better car, because it’s also a plane and a better plane, because it’s also a car. The Company 4.0 can switch from car to plane in less than 3 minutes, offering the flexibility to transition from one mode to another.
- The Company 4.0 is the first vehicle in the product plan and is the launch pad for further iterations inour future productsin the drive towards fully autonomous personal transportation.
2nd Generation: The Company 5.0
- 3-4 seat, short distance, intra-city, target premium market and commercial services, solve VTOL capability (electrical propulsion systems, reliable battery technologies-safe for flight, durable)
3rd Generation: The Company 6.0
- 3-4 seat, short-medium distance,increased speed, affordability from scale and lower cost of tech, MaaS only

About Industry
There is a Silicon Valley momentum behind the topic of flying cars which has accelerated since the end of 2016 and into 2017, with notable coverage of flying car concepts and significant investments in the market.
The Company is at the forefront of this momentum capturing more coverage than another other flying car. It has been recently present at the two world’s largest aerospace and automotive events in 2017: Paris Air Show and IAA Frankfurt Auto Show.
The market is attracting a range of new entrants and incumbents exploring new opportunities: including the likes of Airbus and Boeing from aerospace and traditional OEMs and Tier1s from the automotive and aviation industries.
At The Company we estimate the market for personal transportation to be worth approximately$1tn by 2040. This estimated to be one third of the size of the auto market, includes sales and aftersales. Additionally, the passenger revenues across all forms of shared transportation, both on the ground and in the air, the socalled “passenger economy” is $10tn. (This is based on Morgan Stanley estimates of global vehicle miles travelled at an average of $1 /mile.)

About Competitor
The Company is ahead of competitors with a longer range, multi-modal concept ready to market, because it is designed to fulfil the existing legal requirements of both automotive and aviation industries. The Company has higher cruising speed, higher range and higher ceiling and better gliding ratio than helicopter so the comparison with the less effective drones is obsolete.
Exit Strategy
- Acquisition by the major EU, US or Asian OEM.
- Acquisition by the Mobility as a Service provider.
- PE investment for the purpose of the global scale-up as a mobility provider.

Risk Warnings
Disclosure: Investing in startups carries a high degree of risk. In general, financial and operating risks confronting both early and developmental-stage companies, as well as more mature expansion-stage companies are significant. Many emerging growth companies go out of businesses every year. It is difficult to know how companies will grow, if at all, or what changes may occur in the market. A loss of an investors entire investment is possible and no profit may be realized. Investors are responsible for conducting their own due diligence.
