Atense Computer Vaccine A MESSAGE FROM AN EXPERTINDUSTRY ANALYSISThe top three cybersecurity software firms hold a 36% market share and gross over $5 billion dollars a year. Market entry is relatively easy, and smaller firms hold.MARKET SEGMENTOur target markets are business and government, which comprise 79% of the US market. The US government alone invested $16.6 billion in cybersecurity in 2019 and $17.4 billion in 2020. We anticipate getting some revenues from the consumer sector but plan to focus our marketing and sales efforts on commercial and government customersSALES FORECASTWe anticipate providing turnkey Atense Computer Vaccine solutions to commercial and government clients, providing ongoing support using a SaaS (Software as a Service) revenue, model. We also anticipate licensing our technology to manufacturers of web-connected devices, such as cell phones, IoT devices, computers, and peripherals. Because each new client generates ongoing subscription revenues, this relatively flat sales forecast generates a rapidly expanding subscription base and accompanying revenue streams.FINANCIAL FORECASTThe financial projections are based on conservative projections, known capital costs, and competitive pricing with comparable products already in the marketplace. Below are summary projected income statements for the next three years. In addition, our business plan and pro forma financial statements contain five-year forecasts with a complete set of statements (income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements, with accompanying schedules) and detailed explanations of the assumptions underlying the forecasts.\u0026nbsp;","location":"Plano, TX","website":"https://www.atense.com","total_amount_raised":67787,"total_investors":113,"is_funded":true,"is_active":true,"quality_score":1,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/atense","https://www.atense.com"]},"media":{"share_image_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/66475/xxl_cropped_%2BDataCenter-Clean.jpg","logo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/logo/66475/large_cropped_Atense-logo.png","header_media_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/66475/standard_cropped_%2BDataCenter-Clean.jpg","cover_photo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/66475/standard_cropped_%2BDataCenter-Clean.jpg","profile_video_url":"https://wefunder.wistia.com/medias/z06z9r8l6m"},"links":{"company_url":"https://www.atense.com"},"highlights":[],"quick_facts":[{"index":1,"claim_id":"claim-fact-1","value":"The US antimalware market is a $42 billion yearly industry."},{"index":2,"claim_id":"claim-fact-2","value":"Atense protects personal computers, network computers, and data centers from infection and hacking."},{"index":3,"claim_id":"claim-fact-3","value":"We are working to turn our working prototype into a commercial product."},{"index":4,"claim_id":"claim-fact-4","value":"We hold 13 US patents and have patents pending in the US, Europe, India, and China"},{"index":5,"claim_id":"claim-fact-5","value":"The US DoD and large enterprises have already expressed interest in using our technology"},{"index":6,"claim_id":"claim-fact-6","value":"The founding team has over 75 years of experience in technology and startups"},{"index":7,"claim_id":"claim-fact-7","value":"The founder has invested over $600,000 in funds and labor"},{"index":8,"claim_id":"claim-fact-8","value":"The Founder generated over $2 million dollars in patent royalty for his prior company www.unoweb.com"}],"team":[{"id":1082187,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:1082187","user_entity_id":"wefunder:user:1021539","role":"founder","name":"John Almeida","title":"Founder and CEO","bio":"Mr. Almeida holds 29 US patents currently used in virtual content, encryption, online advertising, social networking, and e-commerce.

I have the same questions myself, and I think these are the three reasons: 1) Cybersecurity is a complex field with complex technologies hard for most people to understand. 2) The technology we have solves cybercrime with such simplicity that most people don't believe it is possible. 3) We keep receiving patents, the costs keep escalating, and we don't have funds to invest in an effective marketing campaign. Regarding the other question, we haven't had any funding from outside investors. I have funded the company with my funds. We are now a member of the NewChip Accelerator, and now we'll have a broad base of investors to present the opportunity. We are also working on a deal with a significant investor. Once we agree on all the details and the agreement is finalized, we'll not need any funds for at least 5 years. I have been demonstrating the technology for Cybersecurity professionals. Some do DoD work, and I hear that Atense is the only company with technology to stop the global cybercrime pandemic. I receive e-mails from worldwide businesses and individuals desperate to use what we have right now but unfortunately is not ready yet. If you don't mind, let's connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-almeida-7541b82/. Here is my e-mail as well johnalmeida@atense.com. FYI: In 1996, I filed a patent for interactive television and had a prototype, and I couldn't get funds beyond my investment, and today we have Amazon Prime. In 2001, I had a working prototype of Amazon.com today, and I had a meeting with a Silicon Valley investor, and he said that no company would like to sell on another company's website. In 2010 I had the first social network eCommerce with a working prototype covered by 16 US patents, and I approached investors in Silicon Valley, and no one wanted to invest. At least I received millions of US dollars in patent royalties from major global players in the social network, e-commerce, and online advertisers. What I am going through right now is not new to me. As it appears, I am ahead of everyone else that is hard for the everyday investor to understand me.

Regarding \"...your software is better than Google?\" I'm assuming your questions are related to Google Advanced Protection (https://www.cnet.com/how-to/what-is-the-google-advanced-protection-program/ ). If not, please help us understand by specifying the technology. If I am right, then what Google offers is multiple factors of authentication. Atense, on the other hand, uses a software platform working deep inside the Windows operating system, something no one else does. The authorized software runs all others get blocked. Yes, we currently have 10 US patents and many more pending patents in the US and globally. Please feel free to ask us any other questions you may have.

I find it interesting that you're ahead of the game with respect to competitors such as Google. Are you looking for an exit or looking for the company to individually grow? If no exit, where do you see the company with respect to growth and revenue in 3-5 years? Thanks.","author_name":"Michael Nadler","votes":0,"created_at":"2021-02-25T03:35:41Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/atense#question-132334","answers":[{"id":132388,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:132388","answer":"Hi Michael, Thank you for your question and for your interest in investing in Atense. Our best guess revenues and growth are in the financial model (3rd-year net income: $5 million; 4th-year net income: $23 million; and, 5th-year net income: $55 million). Since it's hard to predict what the market conditions will be in 3-5 years. At that time will look to be acquired or start paying dividend out of the cash flow to the investors. If you'd like, I can send you the financial model, Executive Summary, and business plan. Here is my e-mail: johnalmeida@atense.com.
