As we enter the Final Four days of our campaign, a quick sports analogy:Defense Wins Championships (how do we defend against competition)Here's how 6x issued patents (US and international), more pending Multiyear NASA ties (Space Act Agreement, Tech Transfer) Big Tire Insights (6+ decades of experience including inside airless tire teams at Goodyear & Bridgestone and how other projects have failed) Supply chain relationships: preferred access to melts, materials and forms not commonly available. Trusted vendors. Deeply connected in SMA research (University, industry, international, conferences, pre-pub studies, NSF-funded work) Sustainability Edge (EPA grant, Urban Sustainnovator program, established eco-friendly reputation) Strong, internationally recognized brand (TIME, NASA, TechCrunch, CES, Viva Tech, Veritasium, national TV appearances in multiple countries, more) Trade secrets (processing, custom alloys, polymer integrations, adhesion, custom hardware & manufacturing methods) In-house proprietary workflows & software (AI-powered SMA tire design) No matter how deep your pockets, this will be a tough act to follow -- either we win (IPO), or we're acquired by a much larger entity that wants to do it together. That's the plan.4 Days remaining before the WeFunder window closes, please don't hesitate and miss out!https://wefunder.com/portfolio to confirm you're locked in.https://wefunder.com/the.smart.tire.company for sharing.
