Dear Friends and Investors:

Please join us for an in-person Private Investor presentation and dinner in Tysons Corner, VA on Wednesday, January 17th at 6:00pm EST featuring BioSolution Designs, Inc.

About BioSolution Designs

BioSolution Designs (BSD) is a Biotech Invention Studio & IP holding company creating next-generation platforms and products for the biotools, biomaterial manufacturing, and biotherapeutics market sectors. BSD licenses its inventions to existing companies, assigns them to subsidiaries, or forms product partnerships with existing companies. Subsidiaries are seeded with core IP licensed from BSD, staffed with vetted management, and capital is raised independently. Product partnerships are pursued with favorable license deals and unrestricted use of co-developed IP.

Key Highlights

· World-leading genetic engineering expertise and biotech industry experience.

· DNA-based technology = low MVP concept capex & high novel technology creation potential.

· “Seed IP” for subsidiaries aimed to cost $50,000 - $250,000.

· Subsidiaries and technologies are diversified across upstream & downstream platforms/products.

· Initial lower risk platforms & products provide a stable base for moonshot opportunities.

· Only $1.4M has led to the entirety of our existing portfolio:

· 2 active subsidiaries, 2 platforms, and 3 partnerships.

Opportunity

The biotech industry is notoriously risky and volatile. Despite appearances, it has also remained relatively stagnant technologically in the last two decades. This is in part due to a dearth of novel biotools platforms and incremental improvements in biomanufacturing technologies. This stagnation results largely from the industry’s focus on simple “monogenic” therapies that may treat single gene diseases rather than new technologies that can treat complex “multigenic” diseases that cause most death and hardship.

BioSolution Designs is actively engaged in creating new platforms and products for the biotools, biomanufacturing, and biotherapeutics markets focused on empowering a multigenic future. BSD’s hub and spoke model is designed to tackle several opportunities at once; maintaining cashflow and enabling diversification, while each technology is designed to compound with the rest of BSD’s portfolio – greatly decreasing costs and risks of development for new technologies.

Huge Market Potential:

BSD’s technologies are designed to take advantage of the Gene and Cell Therapy (GCT) Market subsets in biotools, biomanufacturing, and biotherapeutics markets. Each of these subsets are poised for massive growth in the next several decades:

GCT Biotools – $83B by 2030 (US only).

GCT Biomanufacturing – $50B by 2030 (US only).

G&C Therapies – $80B-$120B by 2030 with current technology trajectory.

The Investment

BSD is seeking to raise $2,000,000 on a $15,000,000 post-money valuation (min. investment $50,000).

Investor Returns

BSD is designed for long-term dividend distribution. Revenue streams into BSD come from 1) profit distribution from subsidiaries, 2) revenues from BSD-held licensable assets, 3) acquisitions of subsidiary assets or subsidiary entities, 4) acquisitions of BSD-held assets. BSD anticipates its first distributions within 2-4 years.

Dear Friends and Investors:

You are invited to an Accredited Investor-only dinner on Monday, January 15th at 5:30pm EST featuring IMEROPEX™ (the Company), which provides customers with a unique platform for experiencing and resolving crises in an alternate virtual reality (VR) to prevent or limit their occurrence in the real world.

The Company provides public and private crisis managers with a Persistent Environment for Experimentation and Rehearsal (PEER) that immerses their operators in crisis action scenarios and then decomposes them to understand causality. IMEROPEX also advances the use of the patent pending Full Dive VR Units (FDVUs) that will give customers a multi-sensory experience almost indistinguishable from the real world.

The Company is currently raising $1.5 million for product development and growth.

The Dinner will be held on Monday, January 15th at 5:30pm EST in McLean, VA and is for accredited investors and their advisors only.

Key Investment Considerations

Huge Market

The market for crisis risk prediction and mitigation in both the public and private sectors is huge. IMEROPEX products intersect and shape the following global markets: the $12.7 Billion modeling and simulation market; the $132.4 Billion Crisis Management Market; and the $22 Billion Virtual Reality Market. Target clients include public and private crisis/emergency managers; first responders; private security firms; and insurance underwriters. The IMEROPEX beachhead will be school safety—with an initial focus on Texas. But that beachhead will expand to other states and themes in the coming years.

Differentiators

The Company offers a fully immersive and integrated “Full Dive” VR experience provided by its Full Dive Virtual Reality Units (FDVUs). Google, Apple, Meta (Reality Labs), Microsoft, Unity, and other vendors are all developing and marketing selected VR system components such as headsets, treadmills, haptic gloves, body suits, and game engines but none are currently offering a fully immersive and integrated “Full Dive” VR experience. Multiple Federal Contractors and VR studios are also offering VR services for operational training, but very few provide VR as a service for risk analysis and crisis mitigation.

World Class Team

The IMEROPEX team includes software/hardware engineers, mathematicians, and scenario developers with over ten decades of VR development, modeling and simulation, and data science experience. safety—with an initial focus on Texas.

The Investment

IMEROPEX has raised $450,000 to date and is currently raising $1.5 million for product development and execution of a significant pilot event with a major customer. Minimum investment size is $100,000.

Investor Traction: IMEROPEX is a member of the Microsoft Startup Hub and has the equivalent of $200K in engineering support and Azure cloud credits.

This is for ACCREDITED INVESTORS and Investment Advisors ONLY

Dear Friends and Investors:

Please join us for a special virtual private investor meeting on Friday, December 1st at 11:00 AM EST featuring American Gene Technologies International (“AGT”), one of the most exciting companies we have seen.

AGT recently announced a merger agreement for a business combination with 10X Capital Venture Acquisition Corp. III (“10X III”) (NYSE American: VCXB), a special purpose acquisition company. The resulting combined company will be renamed “Addimmune” and will trade on the NYSE. Addimmune will be a clinical-stage gene and cell therapy company focused on developing a functional cure for HIV. Prior to the combination, the non-HIV assets will spin-off into an entity that will retain the American Gene Technologies name.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Addimmune will be dedicated to revolutionizing treatments for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a disease which currently impacts 5 million individuals across the US and Europe. Addimmune's lead treatment, AGT103-T, is a genetically modified autologous cell product candidate that has the potential to be the first functional cure and a potential best-in-class adjuvant treatment for HIV.

COMPANY ACCOMPLISHMENTS

AGT's HIV business has made significant strides to advance AGT103-T as the world’s first potential functional cure for HIV. Beginning with a collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease in 2019, the team has made consistent progress from securing FDA approval of an Investigational Drug Application for and completing a Ph 1a safety and durability study of AGT103-T in 2022. The full data from the Ph 1a study was published in Frontiers in Medicine. Additionally, the team recently shared the pre-print of a follow-on analytic treatment interruption study, which evaluated the impact on HIV-specific immune responses in AGT103-T-infused patients following the cessation of antiretroviral therapy (ART). AGT is currently in the process of submitting those results to a peer-reviewed journal.

FUNDRAISING

AGT is raising up to $50 million through the issue and sale of senior secured convertible notes ("Convertible Note"). The Convertible Note features a 3x liquidation preference and a 36-month maturity period and may be purchased by all accredited investors.

USE OF FUNDS

The Convertible Note financing will be instrumental in initiating the Ph 1b study of AGT103-T, expanding HIV research initiatives, and expediting Addimmune's journey toward potential regulatory approval.

TARGET MARKET

We firmly believe that cell and gene therapy has the potential to disrupt the forthcoming $39.3 billion global HIV therapy market, where currently, payors are investing up to $1.7 million per patient in life-long standard care. Be part of the transformation.

Please join us to learn more about this exciting investment opportunity and exciting technology! If you have any questions or would like any information, such as Executive Summary or Deck, prior to the meeting, please email Skylar Rallison at srallison@opus8.com.

Thanks much and we look forward to seeing you online on December 1st!

All the best,

Dear Friends and Investors:

Please join us for a Private Investor presentation and dinner in Tysons Corner, VA on Thursday, September 28 at 5:30pm EDT featuring Coagulation Sciences, an amazing company that has developed technology to decrease unnecessary blood transfusions, which harm patients and are costly to hospitals.

This is for ACCREDITED INVESTORS with the ability to invest $100,000 and Investment Advisors ONLY

We welcome you to review the information below prior to the Company’s presentation.

About Coagulation Sciences:

Problem: Blood transfusions are associated with multiple complications including lung injury, fluid overload, kidney injury, immune system damage, and even shortened lifespan. Furthermore, at least 40% of transfusions are unnecessary, and hospitals lose as much as $800 per transfusion as reimbursement does not cover costs to transfuse. Most tests used to guide transfusion decisions were developed or are similar to tests developed in the 1940s and 1950s. Some require hours to days to return results. There needs to be improvement even beyond newer systems that return results more rapidly and can confirm a bleeding disorder, because they often provide insufficient information to correct the disorder. 

Solution: Coagulation Sciences’ Multiple Coagulation Test System (MCTS) is a Point-of-Care platform that provides information reported by no existing test platform. The MCTS compares the ability of multiple therapies to correct bleeding disorders. Testing is fully automated and results are reported in ~ 10 minutes at the patient’s bedside. 

Company: CS is a medical device company formed to solve the problem of inadequate testing that results in unnecessary transfusions, which are harmful to patients and costly to hospitals. 

Team: The Team and Scientific and Business Advisors have many years of experience and knowledge in Patient Blood Management, Engineering and Technology Development, Business Development and Entrepreneurship, including several successful exits.

Markets: The Coagulation Analyzer market is projected to reach $5B by 2025 while the Point-of-Care Diagnostics market is projected to reach $75B by 2027 (markets & markets). 

What Differentiates Us? Coagulation Sciences’ has the only platform that compares the ability of treatments to correct bleeding disorders. Results the clinician can use to support treatment decisions are available in ~ 10 minutes, at the Point-of-Care.

Intellectual Property: Patents have issued in major markets including the US (six unique patients), UK, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Japan and China, with several pending. 

Business Model: Profit margin on devices is projected to be 50%, while profit margin on single-use disposable cartridges is projected to exceed 70% translating to a razor and razor-blade business model. 

Financial Projections: The company projects revenue in excess of $70M in year four of sales. 

The Investment: CS is seeking to raise $2.16M to complete a $3M round ($840,000 has been invested to date). Two levels of warrant coverage will be provided; 25% for investments below $500,000, and 50% for investments of $500,000 and above. 

Use of Funds: $800,000 Will permit the Company to hire a highly regarded healthcare investment bank to lead a follow-on Series A raise. An additional $1.36M to reach the $2.16M goal will fund salary support and additional clinical validation. The company has begun discussions with institutional investors. If Family Offices or Venture Capitalists invest in the near future, we may not require an Investment Bank. 

Investor Traction: The company has received $5.8M in angel funding to date. After this round closes, with an Investment Bank leading a Series A raise, we plan to raise the capital needed to complete development and the clinical trial to support FDA clearance. 

Investor requirements: Investors must be accredited, and the company is seeking investments of at least $100,000.
