## Story
Another EndorsementSeth Green and BeomniExciting Developments from 2022We were granted another US patent – the most comprehensive to dateWe were featured at the Future Investment Initiative conference in Riyadh; the Saudi Public Investment Fund paid over $200K to bring us and the robot for three days of live on-site demonstrations, because they judged our technology to be the most advanced humanoid AI powered robotic system for performing workWe signed an agreement with Cobotic Surgical, Inc. (CSI), founded by inventor Rony Abovitz (founder of Mako Surgical Robotics and Magic Leap) and top orthopedic surgeon Dr. Martin RocheThrough CSI, we secured interest from numerous hospitals and from key US MedTech companies in our surgical robotsWe streamlined our proprietary VR control systems, eliminating nearly all equipment other than the VR headsetWe were featured at the Explorers Club in New York City, at multiple eventsWe were one of only two technology companies at the Explorers Club gala (the other being Blue Origin)We demonstrated our high-performance remote-control technology in a coast-to-coast live demo over three days, connecting events in Beverly Hills and New York, and then in May of 2023 remotely connected from Colorado to BucharestWe developed new networking technology that works efficiently on any systems – even ones where we are a guest userWe continued to advance our AI Brain training systemWe demonstrated the ability for a single Pilot to operate the robot while one or more Passengers observeThe future of the workforce is here today.Beyond Imagination has developed a revolutionary AI-powered humanoid robot designed to eventually do autonomous technical tasks and integrate with LLMs such as ChatGPT and other Al high-compute infrastructure on the Cloud, Edge & more. Our product, "Beyond Manpower," offers a cost-effective solution for businesses looking to reduce labor expenses, improve productivity, and eliminate training costs. Our first application is in the healthcare field, where we are training the robot with the goal of taking on surgical tech duties.We have received interest in advance orders and potential investments from many of the largest hospital systems and two US medical device makers.Our long-term goal is to expand into various industries such as manufacturing, hospitality, retail, logistics, and more. The potential market for this technology is in the trillions of dollars. As Elon Musk has stated, robots like ours will be as valuable as cars. With our system, any worker can train the AI brain by using only a VR headset, without the need for gloves or other equipment. The AI brain then learns from the data gathered to perform the job.Product OverviewProprietary “AI Brain” that will learn from human pilots and evolve to full autonomy across industriesPiloted and trained via the company’s proprietary VR and haptic glove/sensory systemHighly advanced, dexterous arms, hands, and wristsFully Mobile system. All-terrain, stabilized via advanced gyroscope system that can rise up from 5’ 2” to 6’ 2” in heightStereo + 360-degree visionEight issued patents, with more pendingKey business partnerships already in placeValue Creation and Capture Business ModelRobots as a Service (RaaS): one simple monthly payment includes everything: the Beomni robot, the Cloud Platform, AI Brain and any needed maintenanceEach Beomni replaces at least 2.8 workers, saving up to 75% in labor costsLabor costs decrease over time with economies of scaleOnce a skill or occupation is learned, any number of AI robots can have that skillNew workers need no training and no signing bonus. They never quit, and all perform at peak efficiency from the startForward-looking projections cannot be guaranteedOur First Target Market: Surgical Assist RobotsBeomni robots in the operating room are being designed with the eventual goal of providing “surgical tech” services, handing off scalpels, forceps, sponges and other tools to the surgeon in a timely, reliable and efficient manner.We are partnered with Cobotic Surgical, Inc. (CSI), founded by surgeon Dr. Martin Roche and by Rony Abovitz, creator of Mako Robotics and Magic Leap.CSI has already lined up four hospitals for early deployment of Beomni robots. Once Beomni establishes itself to perform duties as surgical techs and cleaning techs, CSI then intends to expand into nursing robots and laboratory techsReturn on Investment: Robots as a Service (RaaS)One Beomni can work two full shifts, seven days a week, replacing 2.8 human workers.Beomni cuts costs by nearly $1.5M per operating room over the projected 7-year life of the robot – $207K per year per OR per Beomni. Much of the revenue is from high-margin software and AI licenses. We plan to deploy our first units quickly into this market – two years after the close of this funding round.Forward-looking projections cannot guaranteed. Business HighlightsFounded in 2018 by Dr. Harry Kloor, Ray Kurzweil, Dean Kamen, Tony Robbins, and others, Beyond Imagination has developed one of the world’s leading general-purpose AI humanoid platform, Beomni, with the goal of reinventing the world’s workforce and creating a future where everyone can have a prosperous, healthy, productive lifeThe company has a group of outstanding employees and Executive Advisors that are proud to support Beomni in all aspects of its businessThe company has a solid patent portfolio and numerous proprietary technologies that give it significant competitive advantages in the marketBusiness has been largely bootstrapped to date, raising $4.2M across two seed rounds, and $1.2M in our open Safe Note roundHigh RaaS Margins + Enormous Growth Potential = High ROI"Robots as a Service" mean high-margin AI Brain/Cloud Platform license fees and Maintenance Contract fees that rise in time to over 50% of total revenuesEconomies of scale will drive the percentage of these high-margin recurring revenues higher and higher.Margin by 2028 > 41% Margin by 2033 > 60%We project revenue of nearly 1 billion dollars by 2027As a manufacturer of hardware+software products, we will require enough funding to complete development of all components and then initiate deliveries to customers. We project 100 units in 2 years, 500 in Year 3 and 2,500 in Year 4, at which point we project profitability. We are seeking approximately $60M in additional funding over the next three years from accredited investors.Forward-looking projections cannot be guaranteed. Limitless MarketsWe are focused on surgical assist robotics; from there we can grow into numerous markets:The restaurant workforce makes up 10% of the overall U.S. workforce. Three in 10 restaurateurs cite staffing as a challenge. Beomni can be trained fill many of these positions.Retail and hospitality markets are hurting for employees. There are 5.5 million retail job vacancies in the US alone, an easy application after surgical assist.With 72% of manufacturing being done by humans today, and with rising labor costs, Beomni is set to fill millions of such jobs around the worldIMPACT – Saving Lives Beomni can take over dangerous and dirty jobs These jobs are vital to the largest sectors of the economy – agriculture, construction, manufacturing, mining, logistics, etc.The World Health Organization (WHO) and International Labor Organization (ILO) estimate 1.9 million lives are lost per year to occupational hazards globally.Beomni will save lives by filling millions of vacant elder-care jobs.Beomni can also supplement personnel, addressing the growing crisis in nursing care, where not enough nurses are availableManagement TeamDr. Harry Kloor, Founder and CEOFounded Beyond Imagination in 2018 and is a successful serial entrepreneur, inventor, scientist, technologist, educator, policy advisor, author, and Hollywood filmmaker.

## FAQ
1. **You have my vote. how far are willing to go to see this come to fruition?**
   - I have spent my entire life working to bring this tech into reality. I’m not stopping - ever.
2. **What is your unfair advantage ? Boston Dynamics already produce robots and Tesla will enter the market with all their might. How can you succeede ?**
   - Great question. Boston dynamics raised about 2 billion over last few decades - know their team and founder. Great people. But what job requires feet ? They not done single job or case trail. Legs are fun texh - but we focussed on actual work - which requires complex hands and arms. We also electric and not hydraulic. As for Tesla - also am aquanted to Elon - and he will do great things. But if it only took money and size apple would not exist. We are ahead of them with two years of testing fo...
3. **Was working with a company called Strateos today. AI for Drug discovery.. we are interested in implementing robotics as we still work with human interfaces... Are you interested in building some type of smart contract or tokenizing? Im not sure why you are raising money throug...**
   - Paying for robots as a service using crypto currencies is certainly a possibility once we come to market; by then, the ecosystem is likely to have matured further and become more of a mainstream facility that's easy for people to use. Our initial market (health care) is more traditional in their financing, which is why we've discussed this internally but have not pursued it aggressively at this time. Wefunder is a great bridge platform for us, and allows us to bring in folks from many backgro...
4. **Also, How does Tony Robbins? Relate to a robotics project? Are you sure you want to raise from this many investors in the beginning? How do you go about choosing an investor? With my first company i was told that i should have a very small amount of seed investors with and mak...**
   - One of the nice things about raising through Wefunder is that all of the investors who contribute through this platform are collected together as a single entity on the Capitalization Table for the company, eliminating one of the key concerns about having many smaller investors. Wefunder therefore allows us to reach out and get help from "regular folks" who want to be part of creating world-changing technologies but don't have millions of dollars of money to invest. We have a great mix of fol...
5. **How are you addressing gender and racial bias typical in AI? I don't see much diversity in your team or any of the various pictures posted.**
   - One of our founding members is Anousheh Ansari - originally from Iran. Another female Vp / engineer is from India: in our next hiring round we seek hire as many woman engineers as possible as we agree - there are many great ones and we want to expand their presence on our team. But not because of gender or race - because of skill and diversity brings more imagination.

## Q&A
- Q: What is your unfair advantage ? Boston Dynamics already produce robots and Tesla will enter the market with all their might. How can you succeede ?
  - A: Great question. Boston dynamics raised about 2 billion over last few decades - know their team and founder. Great people. But what job requires feet ? They not done single job or case trail. Legs are fun texh - but we focussed on actual work - which requires complex hands and arms. We also electric and not hydraulic. As for Tesla - also am aquanted to Elon - and he will do great things. But if it only took money and size apple would not exist. We are ahead of them with two years of testing for our robot. Have you seen his robot do what ours does - so far not. Again - believe they do interesting things. But dollar for dollar we better bet - in my opinion. The world is big enough for all of us - we see ourselves as apple in the early days against ibm. So you have ask yourself would I have invested in apple before it went public?
- Q: You have my vote. how far are willing to go to see this come to fruition?
  - A: I have spent my entire life working to bring this tech into reality. I’m not stopping - ever.
- Q: R&D expenses seem very high - $20M in 2023, $24M in 2024, $30M in 2025, $35M in 2026 and especially $96M in 2027. Can you explain why with some details?
- Q: How are you addressing gender and racial bias typical in AI? I don't see much diversity in your team or any of the various pictures posted.
  - A: One of our founding members is Anousheh Ansari - originally from Iran. Another female Vp / engineer is from India: in our next hiring round we seek hire as many woman engineers as possible as we agree - there are many great ones and we want to expand their presence on our team. But not because of gender or race - because of skill and diversity brings more imagination.
- Q: Quick answer #2: one of the great advantages of Wefunder and the Reg CF structure is that it allows us to have large numbers of individual supporters who are all collected into a single entity in the Cap Table. This makes their participation much more appealing to larger investors. And the ability to also do Reg D investments for larger Wefunder contributions is also appealing, since it allows us to raise significant funds through a common platform. Tony Robbins is an enthusiastic supporter and investor; he sees the exponential potential of general-purpose robotics. Look for posts from him and others on our Twitter feed with hashtags #BeomniRobot and #Beomni for more examples.
- Q: Also, How does Tony Robbins? Relate to a robotics project? Are you sure you want to raise from this many investors in the beginning? How do you go about choosing an investor? With my first company i was told that i should have a very small amount of seed investors with and make sure the investors had relevant experience in ceratin realms i wanted to scale into...
  - A: One of the nice things about raising through Wefunder is that all of the investors who contribute through this platform are collected together as a single entity on the Capitalization Table for the company, eliminating one of the key concerns about having many smaller investors. Wefunder therefore allows us to reach out and get help from "regular folks" who want to be part of creating world-changing technologies but don't have millions of dollars of money to invest. We have a great mix of folks who have joined us here on the platform, and a core of high-powered investors like Tony, Ray and others who provide sage advice as well as capital to grow the company. So it's been a "best of both worlds" experience for us.
- Q: What are the investor perks? I do not see them listed
- Q: Congratulations https://www.fastcompany.com/91337758/beyond-imagination-raises-100-million-humanoid-robots
- Q: It appears company have to raise funds on a regular basis to continue operations. What is the strategy to stay afloat if capital dry in the market and capital raise become a challenge due to economic conditions like a prolonged recession etc. R&D expenditure projections are high for next 5 years and i want to understand how company will survive an economic headwind, what is your plan.
- Q: Quick answer #1: our unfair advantage is that our robots are general-purpose and have a wide range of real-world applications that we are actively pursuing right now. Unlike many other companies, we are focused on near-term deployability of robots that solve problems, rather than deep R&D in either technology or AI that might pay off but require 5-10 years or more of development before becoming viable in volume. We believe that this gives us a much lower risk profile than other companies.
- Q: Was working with a company called Strateos today. AI for Drug discovery.. we are interested in implementing robotics as we still work with human interfaces... Are you interested in building some type of smart contract or tokenizing? Im not sure why you are raising money through WeFunder... I would much rather see this as a token... and blockchain. as there would be a big market for building smart contract for getting paid to utilize or paying to utilize robot/device. curretnly promoting.. however might invest. hhowever If i invest i have to take moeny out of crypto and put it through my bank account and then to you.. doesnt make sense...
  - A: Paying for robots as a service using crypto currencies is certainly a possibility once we come to market; by then, the ecosystem is likely to have matured further and become more of a mainstream facility that's easy for people to use. Our initial market (health care) is more traditional in their financing, which is why we've discussed this internally but have not pursued it aggressively at this time. Wefunder is a great bridge platform for us, and allows us to bring in folks from many backgrounds and not just large investment funds. We want everyone to have a chance to play a part in the evolution of high-quality robots that will improve lives.
- Q: Why have there been no updates on here for investors since 2023?
- Q: i see ur about close when will your next investment round be and on what start up investment platform will it be on next
  - A: We have raised 96% or so from accredited investors. We opened this to give everyone opportunity to invest. Our next rounds are accredited investors so most likely won’t be on platforms.
- Q: When is this coming to a business or store near me?
  - A: We're in the early stages of commercializing our products right now. We plan to deploy our first robots in pilot studies and small, real-world deployments within two years after we hit our financing goals.
  - A: Our plan is B to B as bill has noted for the first 7 years, and then roll out as consumer product. Of course this could happen sooner, depending on how rapidly the market grows.
- Q: I’d like to know what kind of time line are you looking at for production and, if I were to invest I would like to come see your entire facility (proprietary tech excluded of course) to judge your chances of success against much bigger and better funded robotic firms?
