Business concept

3.  June 2014 – first nanosatellite PolyTAN-1 has been
successfully launched ( over 1 year on orbit)
 December 2016 – second launch planned
 2016-2017 – IT platform development
 2017 –ground segment development
 December 2018 – up to 12 nanosatellites can be
launched
Current status of Product / plans /
technology

4.  Commercial team – 2 founders with experience over
15 years in privately owned international business
(microelectronics, engineering) + 10 employees
Team is financially supported by current successful
business
 Technical team – 2 founders ( Dorctors of Science
Engineering) with + 18 employees of R& D
Department, currently employed by Kyiv State
Polytechnical University
Team

5.  The private segment of the industry grew more than
sixfold within last 5 years*
 The investment to the industry has risen 10 times
during last 3 years ( totally over 17 bln USD)
 Prices of the satellites and rocket launch prices have
stong trend to decrease due to development of
private space segment allowing private business to
get in the industry
Industry trends: no more state
monopoly in Space

6. * Almost regardless of business model, those Fortune
500s today who ignore what smallsats are doing … (i.e.
earth imaging, providing communications or Internet
services) they’re going to be on the wrong end of
financial evolution in the next decade…..The number of
Fortune 500s that are putting money into small
satellites—it’s not an alarming rate, it’s not irrational
exuberance, but it’s an increasing rate that we expect to
continue.” Fortune, August 4th, 2015
Industry trends:

7.  First mover advantage in the emerging industry and
newly developing market
 Business model foresees multiple revenue streams
and recurring revenues starting from the Stage 2
 Scalable global-oriented business model
Niche of the market
and competitive advantages

8.  Technical mistake resulting in loss of Nanosatellite –
minimized by multiple laboratory tests before launch
 Launch failure and accompanying losses – should be
properly insured
 Legal limitations – may be overcome by placement of HQ /
R&D or IT Dev. in multiple less regulated jurisdictions
 New Economical crisis leading to decline of different
markets – services offered should be oriented at
customers’ need to cut costs and increase the safety of
business, prevention of incidents and/ or shorten time of
reaction to them
Major Risks and comments

9. •R & D, software, patenting, upgraded 3U nanosatellite assembly, lab
tests and launch (Dec. 2016)
•950 000 USD
Seed Stage
2016 -17
•Development of IT platform and start of international network
•Start of pre-sales of nanosatellites, first revenues
• Development of the Constellation of NanoSats

•Launch of multiple geo-services under own IT platformSeries B
Capital need/ milestones

10.  Our exit strategy is industry acquisition, similar to:
 SSTL ( UK) – became part of Airbus Defence&Space Group
 SkyBox ( USA) – aquired by Google for 500 mln USD in
2104
Other potential partners:
- Space companies ( including SpaceX, RocketLab etc.)
- Boeing, Airbus
- Sierra Nevada Corp., Raytheon, Clyde Space
