Idea

Introduction

The Fully Charged Show is a YouTube channel dedicated to ‘the future of energy & transport’.

Established by actor, presenter & writer Robert Llewellyn, Fully Charged currently averages more than 3 million monthly episode views globally, with the record month reaching 4.6 million (August 2019).The channel is perfectly positioned as the World’s no.1 consumer channel for clean energy technologies and electric vehicles of all shapes and sizes, sales volumes of which are set to surge to many times their current size over the coming years.

Funded predominantly by individuals (Patreons) and advertising (Google AdSense) Fully Charged operated at breakeven before the launch of its live event (Fully Charged LIVE) in 2018. Profits from commercial activities are enabling Fully Charged to grow steadily, but a successful crowdfunding campaign will accelerate growth, maintain competitive advantage, and preserve the independence that has been key to its success so far.

Intended impact

Fully Charged is a broadcasting, digital and events business, with a strong, independent brand that can be extended across an array of relevant products and services. Fully Charged possesses ~2 million viewers and an archive of >500 high-quality episodes online. Focussed on the future of energy and transport, the business is a thought-leader in electric vehicles of all shapes and sizes plus clean energy technologies like wind & solar.

Our vision and mission is clear: ‘To inspire the world to stop burning stuff’ and ‘to be the no.1 consumer channel for clean energy and electric vehicles’. The principle objective of the next 5 years is to grow the audience from 2 million at the start of 2020, to 15 million at the end of 2024.

Substantial accomplishments to date

Monetisation strategy

The strategy involves accelerating audience growth, which will:

- Increase advertising and sponsorship revenues from YouTube.

- Increase contributions from individuals supporting the channel.

Furthermore, there is an incredible array of commercial opportunities to consider for Fully Charged, Focus areas for 2020-2022 include:

- Fully Charged LIVE UK (tickets, sponsorship & exhibition sales).

- Fully Charged LIVE US (tickets, sponsorship & exhibition sales).

- Fully Charged LIVE Northern Europe (tickets, sponsorship & exhibition sales).

- Other Fully Charged events (e.g. B2B, experiential, regional).

- Fully Charged STORE merchandising.

- Affiliate Sales.

- Brand Licensing.

We believe that all of the revenue streams above will be increased by audience growth in the same timeframes.

Use of proceeds

It is our stated intention that the final funds will be invested largely in additional staff/freelancers to drive audience and financial growth:

- Pre-Production Co-ordinator.

- Video Editors x2.

- Freelance Presenters x3.

- Commercial Manager – Northern Europe.

- Commercial Executive - UK.

- Commercial Assistant - UK.

- Event Operations Manager.

- Merchandising Manager.

- Website & Design Manager.

- Digital Communications Executive.

Additional funds will be invested in audience growth plus a larger production office at Bristol & Bath Science Park.

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £2,503,800

This is the fully-diluted pre-money valuation of the business (i.e. before the new investment comes in and including issued options and other equity interests). In contrast, the post-money valuation is based on inclusion of the new investment in the value.

It is calculated as the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new investment. e.g. If Company A is ascribed a pre-money valuation of £1,200,000 by prospective investors investing £300,000, its post-money valuation is £1,500,000.

The investee business is responsible for setting its own valuation, it has not been prescribed by Seedrs.

Pitch type

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Learn more about pitch type on Seedrs

Equity Offered

The equity offered is the percentage of the company’s shares being issued in return for the amount of investment raised.

When the amount raised is less than 100%, the equity offered is based on the target raise. Once the company has raised over 100% it is based on the total raised.

In some scenarios, entrepreneurs may accept additional direct investment after closing their Seedrs campaign. Provided this is within 6 months of the closing and on the same terms, we do not typically offer pre-emption rights on that extra investment (where you have the opportunity to invest again to maintain your percentage shareholding).

Nominee investment

This shows if you are able to choose, when making an investment, that you be represented by, and your shareholding be managed by, the Nominee investment.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Seedrs will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Seedrs will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Seedrs will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Secondary market

This shows if the business has opted-in or opted-out of allowing its shares to be bought and sold on the secondary market.

Direct investment

This is an option to invest and hold shares 'directly' in the company (rather than via the Nominee investment). This option is only available to those investing over the threshold amount, which is determined by the fundraising company.

If you choose to hold your shares directly, you will be responsible for any contractual or administrative arrangements with the company you are investing in.

Payment options

We are not able to accept card payments for investments into this sector. You can pay for your investment by creating a bank transfer, using funds in your investment account or create a Pay by Bank payment. Your investment will only be completed once the funds have reached our account.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale. As a result, the Campaign and post-investment experience, including investor rights, will differ from a business-led campaign on Seedrs. Most notably, the business will not engage with investors in the discussion forums both during and after the sale or provide any updates to investors.
