Idea

Introduction

We are developing disruptive technologies to solve three of the biggest challenges of the 21st century, low cost clean electricity, grid scale energy storage and seawater desalination.

OceanHydro Wind: disruptive technology that harnesses offshore altitude wind using kites, stores the energy subsea and releases it on demand as electrical energy. A game changer that lowers the cost of energy, provides grid scale energy storage, dispatchable power and auxiliary services to the grid.

SubSea RO Wind: disruptive technology to desalinate seawater into potable fresh water at scale using subsea pressure, reverse osmosis membranes and altitude wind using kites.

QuenchSea: The world's only low cost handheld seawater desalination device specifically made for humanitarian purposes but has applications in the marine and sailing sector.

Substantial accomplishments to date

Selected as one of the top 100 startups shaping the 4th Industrial Revolution by the World Economic Forum we are building the foundations for future success and growth.

Monetisation strategy

OceanHydro Wind: This technology plans to establish a new market in harnessing offshore altitude wind power. The technology we are developing is by its very nature a global technology that is deployed offshore in territorial and international waters. 80% of the world's wind energy resource is available offshore, and more so at altitude offshore. Our business model is based on generating on-demand dispatchable electricity at a lower price than any other power generation technology without the need for government subsidies.

SubSea RO Wind: Our aim is to partner with a strong and experienced EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) and funding partner to scale the technology and deploy globally. We are aiming for a world record of below $0.30 per cubic meter.

QuenchSea: We have already started monetising QuenchSea and we will start to fully scale and commercialise in 2021. We aim to be generating revenues and profits in 2021.

Use of proceeds

The investment will fund technology development, product development teams, international expansion and to scale QuenchSea globally and achieve economies of scale. To build a sub-scale system of SubSea RO Wind (desalination) to validate, test and prove the technology. This will put us in a very strong position for a valued funding round to a build scale prototype.

Key Information

Loans

The company has an outstanding £30,000 Covid Bounce Back loan from Barclays at an interest rate of 2.5% per annum. The loan is to begin monthly repayments from June 2021 with the final repayment date being June 2026.

The funds raised from this investment round will not be used to repay this loans.

Existing Convertible Loans and Share Option Agreement

The Company has a number of convertible loan agreements and a share option agreement in place with Techstars and existing shareholders which may convert into equity or be repaid after this round. The terms of these convertible loans and the share option agreement is set out in the “Existing convertible loans” document in the Documents section of this Campaign.

New Advance Subscription Agreement (This Investment)

This investment round is being raised by way of a convertible equity investment structure, in this case an "advanced subscription agreement".

The key terms that apply to the Company’s advanced subscription agreement are set out below. See also attached Key Terms document for further details.

• Discount – conversion at a 30% discount to the valuation set by a Trigger Event.
• Valuation cap of £10,000,000.

• Conversion is triggered by ("Trigger Events"):
- An Equity Fundraise – defined as the Company raising investment capital of at least £183,000 from one transaction or a series of transactions, in exchange for the company issuing equity shares;
- A Change of Control of the company (transfer of more than 50% of the share capital); or
- An IPO – being a listing of the company’s shares on a recognised stock market or secondary market.
• Longstop Date is 12 months from the date of the advance subscription agreement.

• If conversion has not been triggered by the Longstop Date shares will be issued on the longstop date at the Default Share Price, which is the lower of:
- the lowest price of any shares issued after the date of this Agreement; and
- a price per share based on a pre-money company valuation of £5,000,000 on a fully diluted basis.
• The convertible would also convert to equity at the Default Share Price in the event of winding up or liquidation of the company.

Investing involves risks, including loss of capital, illiquidity, lack of dividends and dilution, and should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Please read the Risk Warnings before investing. Investments should only be made by investors who understand these risks. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future.

This campaign for Hydro Wind Energy has been approved by Seedrs Limited (trading as Republic Europe) ("Republic Europe", "us" or "we"), as of 25 January 2021 as a financial promotion. Republic Europe is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority with firm reference number 550317. In approving this campaign, Republic Europe has concluded that the information, taken as a whole, is "fair, clear and not misleading." This means that for factual statements we have reviewed evidence of their accuracy, and that for aspirational statements we believe they are phrased appropriately in light of their speculative nature. You should note that in the case of factual statements, the evidence we review is provided by the business, and we do not audit it, which means that we may not be able to identify forged or altered evidence. You should further note that in the case of aspirational statements, the nature of the type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform is such that they are likely to have high ambitions, and we may approve statements that convey those ambitions even where we do not believe, or we do not have a view on whether it is likely, that they will be fully realised. The pre-money valuation and investment sought in the campaign are those set by the business: they are not reviewed or established by us, and the valuation is not an independent view of what the business is worth. Given the nature and type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform, it is possible that the business has very little cash remaining prior to receiving this investment, and the investment sought may be necessary for the business's on-going existence.

Republic Europe does not make investment recommendations to you. No communications from Republic Europe, through this website or any other medium, should be construed as an investment recommendation. Further, nothing on this website shall be considered an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security to any person in any jurisdiction to whom or in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. Republic Europe does not provide legal, financial or tax advice of any kind. If you have any questions with respect to legal, financial or tax matters relevant to your interactions with Republic Europe, you should consult a professional adviser.

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from Convertible

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 convertible campaign allows you to invest today, with your investment converting into equity in the future, at a discount compared to other investors.

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).

Learn more about investing and pre-emption rights.

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.

Find out more

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.
