Invest in FuelGems: Nanotechnology fuel additive which makes fuel more efficient and cleaner

I invested in FuelGems for multiple reasons. Their team and product will change the world when it comes to using gasoline and diesel. Using diesel and gasoline produces emissions such as unburnt hydrocarbons and particulate matter which cause air pollution and cause heart disease and cancer. FuelGems will save lives. Equally important is the fact that only a tiny amount of 1 to 5 grams of their nanoparticles, which are made of carbon and are safe, are needed to treat 260 gallons of fuel. This is hundreds of times less of active materials than what competitors use in their additives. This tiny amount of additive needed makes FuelGems product very cheap and universally applicable across the huge $3.5 trillion worldwide fuel sector.

Kirill and his PhD scientists are an excellent mix of scientific and business talent. The technology is patented and ready for mass production. They bootstrapped the development of the fuel additive and its production method and their pricing of this round is a great bargain because such product would have cost million to develop if was done by a big company. I love the fact that they ran almost every possible type of test of their technology and the results are nothing short of amazing: reduction in greenhouse gasses by 50%, reduction in consumed fuel by 10%, increased lubrication of engine and components all while customers realize huge ROI numbers.

Their worldwide traction is also amazing. What I love even more is the fact that such a small amount of nanoparticles is needed to treat fuel. This lets them price multiple times cheaper than other fuel additives and win a huge market share very quickly. They didn’t spend any money on marketing and huge corporations are contacting them. Such strong demand means that their product is badly needed. They have traction with multi-billion Oil&Gas companies. Just one client of this caliber will bring $30 million in annual revenue. This is extremely exciting because getting 15 clients will sky rocket the company’s annual revenue into hundreds of millions relatively quickly. I believe the company has incredible growth ahead and I am very excited to get in with FuelGems at an early stage and to be the lead investor in this deal.

Investor Q&A

Expand all

What does your company do?

We developed a revolutionary fuel additive that greatly improves the cleanness/performance of Gasoline, Diesel, Bio-fuel. Tiny amount of 5 grams of nanoparticles are needed to treat 260 gallons of fuel, making our additive one of the most powerful and affordable on the market. Users gain up to 1000% ROI. Our additive reduces greenhouse gas and emissions up to 50%, increases engine/fuel pump lubrication and saves fuel.

Where will your company be in 5 years?

We hope to expand rapidly to serve the needs of the massive worldwide fuel market. We believe we can sell our product at a price that is up to 20x+ less than some competitors and results up to 1000% ROI for clients. Increasing the price 2x could potentially result in $500-$800 million of annual revenue while still delivering up to 500% ROI for our clients. These projected revenue levels are based upon us obtaining at least 20 clients. Our goal is to become a billion-dollar company.

Why did you choose this idea?

A revolutionary powerful fuel additive for $3.5 trillion fuel market. Saves fuel by up to 8%, increases lubrication, decreases dangerous emissions up to 50%! User ROI up to 1000%. Micro dose of 1 to 5 grams treats 260 gallons of fuel. Our groundbreaking technology is 800x more effective than competing fuel additives and is priced up to 20x lower.

How far along are you? What's your biggest obstacle?

Our technology is fully developed, tested, patented and ready for mass production. We are in pilot stages with clients which potentially could generate over $50 million in revenue in about 1 year once finalized. Our pipeline has the potential to bring over $100 million annual revenue. Our biggest obstacle is to expand production fast enough to meet the customer demand for trials and purchases. None of these future projections are guaranteed.

Who competes with you? What do you understand that they don't?

We believe we have no direct competitors because we’ve developed the most advanced and powerful solution in history. Our breakthrough additive will dramatically increase the cleanness and efficiency of fuel at a level that can’t be matched. This is because our active ingredient is added in proportion of 1-5 grams to 260 gallons of fuel (up to 800x less than some competition). Our one-of-a-kind combination of incredible effectiveness and incredible affordability puts our additive in a class of its own. The minuscule amount of additive needed to outperform every other existing additive allows us to price up to 20x+ less than additives on the market and move into wholesale to rapidly capture a very large market share very quickly.

How will you make money?

FuelGems will license the technology, outsource the production to a chemical company and/or produce in house. FuelGems will sell to refineries, gas stations operators and fleets. Due to our very low price of 2 cents to treat 1 gallon of gasoline, we expect the savings and ROI for each and every customer will be significant, making the decision to switch to FuelGems a very easy one. We estimated that a small gas station operator with 500 filling stations alone will generate $12 million in annual revenue. Our estimates show one refinery will generate $27 million in annual revenue. There are over 220,000 gas stations and 220 refineries in USA and Europe alone. Our estimates show that only 30 refineries as clients will generate over $800 million in annual revenue for FuelGems.

What are the biggest risks? If you fail, what would be the reason? What has to go right for you to succeed?

We have 7 clients that are multi-billion and multi-million dollar companies in a pilot and pre-pilot stage. Because of our established production process and low cost of materials, our biggest risk is that we will may not be able to scale fast enough to meet demand. Additional funding will help us secure the additional resources, equipment and people to do this.

What is your client traction and revenue?

We are in a pilot and pre-pilot phase with multi-billion dollar companies such as BP, Suncor Energy, PKN ORLEN. While the R and D was mostly funded by the founders we need funding to expand production to meet the current demand. Once we expand production capacity FuelGems will have the capacity generate $50 million in the next two years.

Will you have another fundraise?

We would like to increase shareholder value and minimize dilution. If we raise additional capital after this offering we expect that our valuation will be significantly higher due to the milestones we hope to achieve between now and the future financing. We believe our next round will be at valuation of around $30-$50 million. Our preferred strategy to grow production capacity is to utilize: 1. Revenue 2. Customer prepayments to grow capacity 3. Secure bank debt using customer contracts This approach will minimize investor dilution without sacrificing company growth and increasing valuation.

Is your technology ready and what is your production capacity?

Our technology is ready to be mass produced or licensed. We‘ve developed and perfected a proprietary production method (our very own plasma generator) in order to produce our nanoparticles at a very low cost. We’ve also spent the last 5 years designing and testing the right nanoparticle for maximum effect on fuel. Our current production capacity allows us to treat 75,000 gallons of fuel per month. This is achieved using the generator shown in the video. We look forward to expand our capacity greatly with additional funding.

What tests have you done that you know your technology works?

We’ve completed over 30 in-depth tests (listed below) with a high degree of complexity in the areas of nanotechnology, anti-friction properties and engine bench tests. Our friends and colleagues have driven over 1 million miles with our additive and are extremely happy with the fuel savings. Here are some of the tests we’ve completed: Nanotechnology, atomic, molecular and chemical testing -Atomic force microscopy -Transmission electron microscopy -Scanning electron microscopy -Raman spectroscopy -Infrared spectroscopy -Oxidation testing -X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy -Qualitative chemical analysis -Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy Tribology and friction -Liquid phase electron microscopy -Differential-phase laser scanning profilometer -Fuel pump, testing surfaces of various fuels -4-Ball wear test Internal combustion engine testing -Internal combustion gasoline engine bench test -Internal combustion diesel engine bench test -Internal combustion engine gas analyzer tests -Real-life testing over 1,000,000 miles driven in real cars

Do you have VC investors?

FuelGems is backed by an early stage venture capital fund and accelerator Sputnik ATX. A partner at Sputnik ATX, Dr. Oksana Malysheva is also a scientist. She received her PhD in physics from University of Pennsylvania and understand the technology well. FuelGems founder Kirill Gichunts financed the company. Kirill worked as a managing partner at a venture capital accelerator fund, part of an investment holding with $3bn in assets, where he made over 15 investments into startups, helped grow the companies and achieved exits and successful growth stories.

Is your additive registered with the EPA?

EPA allows registration and usage of fuel additives which are made from Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and Sulfur. Our nanoparticles are mostly made from carbon, thus we believe we will gain EPA registration. Moreover, the additive is environmentally safe.

Where will your company be in 10 years?

Our goal is to expand rapidly and grow our business into a billion-dollar company by executing our strategy. The more additive we sell the cleaner our air will be. We plan to do a IPO or become acquired within the next 10 years.

Why does your technology work?

We believe our technology highly advanced and is the result of some of the brightest minds in various fields and years of extensive research and development. The result is cutting-edge production method which uses a proprietary way to form and apply plasma. Specifically, we’ve developed unique spherical carbon nano-sized clusters and designed a way to stabilize these nanoparticles so that it easily disperses in fuel and avoids agglomeration. This method avoids the problems existing fuel additives face and place our solution in a class of its own.

How did FuelGems develop its technology?

Our team of world-class scientists developed the technology over 5 years. We’ve invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in R and D budget in order to create a new class of fuel additive that we believe is unlike anything the world has ever seen before.

How did the recession and Covid19 impact your company?

The recession has had some positive impacts FuelGems since companies and people are now much more concerned about reducing expenses – and for fuel our additive is one of the best ways to do so while simultaneously increasing performance. A retail operator with $25 billion in annual revenue and thousands of trucks has contacted us and is interested to use our additive to significantly save on fuel. We believe other companies, big and small, will seek savings on fuel expense. We understand that the impact of corona virus on the fuel industry generally has resulted in lower demand for fuel. The impact of Covid-19 on our operations, however, The fuel market is enormous at about $3.5 trillion. While there was a decrease in fuel use for individual drivers and air travel, the demand for fuel remained steady for freight use (delivering freight via trucks, trains and ships). One lengthy ship voyage can use up millions of dollars in fuel, and the use of our additive can cut this number down significantly. Also, countries and islands use diesel to produce electricity (which our additive greatly cleans and improves). Hawaii generates 80% of electricity from diesel, Jamaica 90%, Saudi Arabia 55%, Israel 21%, Mexico 19%, Japan 20%. Electricity production will remain steady.

How do you protect your intellectual property?

FuelGems technology works as it is powered by the team’s large number of marvelous discoveries. In order to protect these we’ve retained a world-renowned IP law firm, Knobbe Martens, and have filed a provisional patent in 2019 and a full PCT patent in 2020 which gives us world-wide protection. Our top priority is safeguarding this incredible technology for the benefit of our companies and our investors.

What is your additive made of?

The key ingredients of our fuel additive are specially designed carbon nanoparticles. They are environmentally safe. The nanoparticles are added to gasoline or another solvent which is then added to fuel which is to be used. The proportion of nanoparticles to ”final user fuel” is 1-5 grams per 260 gallons.

How can your additive be used?

Our additive is extremely accessible and can be used very easily. Individual drivers can add the additive to fuel tanks when filling up. Gas stations operators can add the additive to underground fuel storage tanks when refilling them. Refineries can add the additive to fuel during the refining process.

Is your technology and additive difficult to produce?

Not at all – and this is thanks to the significant amount of time we’ve spend perfecting our production process. The end result is that we can easily produce our additive in large quantities despite our highly proprietary technology. The equipment used in the production process is standard laboratory materials and equipment. The plasma generator used to produce the nanoparticles are built using inexpensive common materials.

1	A potential lack of use or public interest in the FuelGems product and change in the legal and regulatory environment in fuel and fuel additives could negatively impact FuelGems’s business operations and revenue streams.
2	The Company may never receive a future equity financing that results in the conversion of the Securities upon such future financing. In addition, the Company may never undergo a liquidity event such as a sale of the Company or an IPO. If neither the conversion of the Securities nor a liquidity event occurs, the Purchasers could be left holding the Securities until they automatically convert to Common Stock. The Securities have numerous transfer restrictions and will likely be highly illiquid, with no secondary market on which to sell them. The Securities are not equity interests, have no ownership rights, have no rights to the Company’s assets or profits and have no voting rights or ability to direct the Company or its actions.
3	FuelGems’s current business model is built on a product that has demonstrated performance with variance in results in real life and in research institution/university testing and the leadership has assembled a quality team to grow the company. However, it is possible that the company will not be able to successfully implement future components of the business model, manufacturing using its own equipment to produce the nanoparticles or having the nanoparticles deliver the stated results. If FuelGems is unable to deliver these items, or the market does not respond positively to them, some or all of the usefulness of FuelGems product may be at risk, despite any corrective actions FuelGems may take.
4	Although FuelGems intends for the FuelGems product to have the stated effects, specifications, uses and applications, FuelGems may make changes to such effects, specifications, uses and applications for any number of reasons.
5	FuelGems may rely on third parties to develop and build out components of the product or its manufacture. FuelGems may be unable to retain third parties with the requisite expertise, and those it does retain may not adequately perform their obligations under an agreement with FuelGems.
6	FuelGems’s success depends on its continued innovation and increase in the output of the product to provide products that are useful for users. If FuelGems is unable to continue offering high-quality, products, it may be unable to attract additional users or retain current users, which could harm FuelGems’s business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, FuelGems’s success depends on its ability to continue to attract users to its product.
7	If FuelGems runs out of cash and not able to successfully monetize the technology and/or raise additional capital, it may need to liquidate the business.
8	A prolonged downturn in one or more of the economies in the countries where FuelGems operates and intends to operate would result in reduced demand and will affect the ability of FuelGems product to generate significant revenue.
9	Forward looking statements and projections are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements and projections. These and other factors could adversely affect the outcome and financial effects of the plans and events of FuelGems and may cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. No statement is intended to be nor may be construed as a profit forecast. Prospective investors are cautioned not to invest based on these forward-looking statements and projections.
10	An investment in FuelGems is speculative and may involve substantial investment and other risks. Such risks may include, without limitation, risk of adverse or unanticipated market developments, risk of market competition, risk with respect to the execution of FuelGems’s business objectives, and risk of illiquidity. The performance results of an investment in FuelGems stock can be volatile.

Past performance is no indication of future results. There may be no secondary market for the FuelGems stock and it may be subject to substantial transfer restrictions.
11	FuelGems develops new and novel and experimental technology. In addition to the risks outlined, there are other risks associated with FuelGems, including those that FuelGems cannot anticipate.
12	Our business could be adversely affected by the effects of health epidemics, including the recent COVID-19 outbreak, in regions where we, or third parties on which we rely have distribution centers, concentrations of suppliers and sales and marketing teams or other business operations. The COVID-19 pandemic could materially affect our operations, as well as the business or operations of our suppliers, contractors, customers and other third parties with whom we conduct business. The effects of the public health directives and orders, may negatively impact our productivity, disrupt our business and delay our timelines, the magnitude of which will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the restrictions and other limitations on our ability to conduct our business in the ordinary course.
13	The Company currently, in an effort to attract investors, offers certain benefits (rewards/perks), free of charge. For example, future users of FuelGems product are given discounts. At some point, however, FuelGems may abandon the discounts and benefits that have been or are being provided would no longer be benefits.
14	The Company may change its financial monetization strategy in the future that can drastically impact financial projections. For example, the Company may elect for a longer period to offer free products in order to attract more customers/users. Such decisions may impact the financial plan and projections that were stated earlier by the management.
15	Our future success depends on the efforts of a small management team. The loss of services of the members of the management team may have an adverse effect on the company. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining other personnel we require to successfully grow our business.
16	FuelGems’s existing and potential competitors include, but are not limited to, companies that operate, or could develop nanotechnology based fuel additives. These companies could devote greater technical and other resources than FuelGems has available, have a more accelerated timeframe for deployment and leverage their existing customer bases/distribution network and proprietary technologies to provide products that users might view as superior to FuelGems’s offerings. Any of FuelGems’s future or existing competitors may introduce different solutions that attract users or provide solutions similar to FuelGems’s but with better branding or marketing resources. If FuelGems is not able to continue to attract users of it product, FuelGems’s business, results of operations and financial condition would be harmed.
17	Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks that any new company encounters. The likelihood of our creation of a viable business must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the inception of a business, operation in a competitive industry, and the continued development of advertising, promotions, and a corresponding client base. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase for the near future. There can be no assurances that we will ever operate profitably.
