## Story
***Notice: We've been made aware that there have been a few issues keeping investors updated through the Wefunder platform. While the internal development team is working on a resolution, we've chosen to push our closing date back seven days. The show goes on until February 7th!Just one week before our Community Round closes, we have officially announced the Olympus Power Platform—a BOLD next step towards more sustainable portable power.This product package provides a scalable, high-performance system that addresses some of our biggest challenges including EV Charging, Event/Festival Power, Grid-Scale Backup, Emergency Response/Resiliency, and much more.The electricity our world depends upon is no longer reliable.Our lives rely on power—yet our current utilities have shown time and time again that businesses and people cannot depend on them.The United States electrical grid is the most complex system ever designed yet it is outdated and failing.There were 10X as many significant power outages in 2020 as there were in 2000.70% of all electrical transmission lines are past their 50-year expected life.Now electrical utilities are being disrupted with decentralized renewable solar panel generation and the high demand EV fast charging that they do not have the capacity for.Electrical utilities are spending massive amounts of capital trying to solve this problem..They spent an estimated $140 billion on infrastructure and clean energy upgrades in 2022 and plan to spend another $140 billion in 2023. Even with this massive capital influx, the US will still face a $200 billion funding gap for what is needed to maintain the grid and meet renewable targets for 2029.Joule Case provides innovation in a largely stagnant battery market by replacing noxious generators and miles of expensive and cumbersome electrical transmission lines with clean, safe, cost-efficient renewable power. The company’s long-term vision is to create a truly decentralized electrical grid that can withstand challenging conditions without causing widespread outages. Joule Case’s patented battery system can use any type of battery chemistry and generate serious amounts of power—enough to match the grid. This single, easy-to-use system can be built into custom bundles to suit anyone’s needs—even high voltages and multiphase power systems needed for large applications.Joule Case is a perfect solution for most power needs regardless of the business or market. Our current customers include wineries, aquariums, festivals, events, large video display manufacturers, home builders, EV charging companies, food trucks, and even utilities themselves. No matter the size or scale of the application, Joule Case’s system has proven to be a better option than generators or the electrical grid. Mobile businesses include mobile car detailers, groomers, deep cleaners, disaster recovery, electricians, plumbers, landscaping trucks, and more. These entrepreneurs are always in their vehicles driving to the next customer and need clean, reliable power that’s ready to go when they get there. Many currently use generators that are ripe for replacement. A reliable, convenient power source is absolutely critical to keep these businesses operating.There are 35,000 food trucks in the United States alone. Each one has food being prepped with the smell, pollution, and noise of a generator contaminating the experience for both employees and customers. Generators are the biggest frustration point frequently expressed by food truck owners. Not only are they noisy and noxious, but they also fail frequently and require regular maintenance (not to mention rising fuel costs). Now, there are dozens of food trucks that have replaced their generators with a quiet and clean Joule Case system.Tiny homes are built for light infrastructure and minimal environmental impact. Connecting these homes to the main power grid can be incredibly expensive, not to mention an eyesore. Considering their low power requirements and low capital costs, these homes are ideal candidates for a Joule Case system, which can function as the microgrid solution for any type of tiny home. Traditional electrical grid is unavailable and expensive to accessAlternative gas generators are loud and maintenance intenseTiny home owners want clean energyBrands such as Dyson, Red Bull, LifeWater, T-Mobile, and GM have dozens of teams of brand activators ready to attend the next state fair, NASCAR race, or music festival, or to set up shop downtown in a major city. Modern pop-ups require power—and just like with food trucks, the smell, noise, and maintenance requirements of a traditional gas generator detracts from the experience for everyone involved. Joule Case solves all these pain points, while also being a greener choice brands are proud to make.The EV industry currently faces a significant bottleneck: there simply aren’t enough charging locations. The logistics and capital required to replace gas pumps with EV charging stations is massive;. no utility is prepared for the electrical capacity it necessitates. Joule Case’s energy storage systems have the adaptability to be charged by solar panels and other renewable sources or through regular power outlets, and use their patented modular design and swappable units to help in any situation – big or small.Every business and utility is looking for ways to ensure they have reliable power for their critical systems, especially in the event that the grid fails. There were 10X more electrical outages in 2020 than there were in 2000; some recent outages, like the 2021 Texas power crisis, have been so severe that they caused hundreds of billions of dollars in property damage and resulted in hundreds of deaths. There is no justification for such a tragic catastrophe happening in the 21st century. By offering truly decentralized, flexible energy storage, Joule Case is flipping the script and providing an innovative way to ensure that reliable backup power is always available, no matter the conditions.Most portable and backup power is noisy, toxic, and expensive—and poses a serious public health safety issue. But even as we transition toward a greener grid, we still haven't unlocked the potential of renewable energy generation. This is where Joule Case’s energy storage system really leads the way.Finally—a major shift in the battery scene. Prices have dropped 87% in a decade, and big initiatives plus an influx of capital is pushing the sector forward—fast. Joule Case uses the best battery tech on the market, combined with an ingenious way to make them play nicely together in a stackable, swappable, customizable format.Finally—a major shift in the battery scene. Prices have dropped 87% in a decade, and big initiatives plus an influx of capital are pushing the sector forward—fast. Joule Case uses the best battery tech on the market, combined with an ingenious way to make them play nicely together in a stackable, swappable, customizable format.Joule Case’s grid-scale batteries are intuitive, user-friendly, and scalable: if you need more power, all you need to do is stack. Whether it’s one unit or 90+ units, we’ve got it covered. Joule Case has the technology and expertise to provide power that fits your specific needs wherever and whenever you need it. No generators, no noise, no smell, no CO2. Just efficient, reliable energy that scales for all power applications, from small devices to large enterprises. We are past our development stage and currently producing and shipping these to businesses worldwide.Their first mission? Making music festivals greener.Power is one of the largest production costs for a music festival, and it can account for over 70% of its core carbon footprint. Recent lawsuits against Coachella and other concerts have revealed dangerously high levels of toxins in the air—from diesel generators—at these events. And with fuel costs rapidly rising and the energy market forecast as increasingly volatile, something’s gotta give.The music festival sector has a unique opportunity to contribute to CO2 reduction, showcase new innovation, and engage audiences. Joule Case is partnering up with LIVE Nation, Insomniac Events, and festivals like EDC and Burning Man to transition from loud, harmful generators to renewable, stackable energy."The potential for Joule Case in music festivals is massive."- Rutger Jansen, Senior VP Production and Operations @ InsomniacWith events coming back bigger than ever, we believe Joule Case is poised for incredible growth. Starting with Insomniac Events, organizer of Electric Daisy Carnival, Joule Case is on a mission to replace all the dirty diesel generators at concerts and outdoor events with clean, safe, renewable power.The $30B lithium-ion battery market is predicted to spike four-fold over the coming decade. Event power itself is a fast-growing market at 25% CAGR that sits directly in sight for Joule Case technology.Toxins from diesel generators are known to contribute to cancer and premature death, and combined with other compounds in sunlight they form ozone, a potent trigger for asthma attacks and other health issues. What started as a purely environmental issue has quickly escalated into a public health and safety issue, and the verdict is in: generators need to go.As NPR outlines in this article, the rising occurrence of natural disasters is often followed by a spike in deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning. After the legendary cold snap brought the State of Texas and it’s power grid to its knees in February 2021, at least 11 deaths were confirmed and more than 1,400 people sought care at emergency rooms and urgent care clinics for carbon monoxide poisoning during the weeklong outage.Additionally, with California signing into law Assembly Bill 1346, which will effectively ban small gas-powered generators, the widespread transition to clean battery alternatives has begun.Featured on both the BBC and the Discovery Channel, the rare and refreshing innovation of Joule Case hasn’t gone unnoticed...Crowned Early-Stage Innovation of the Year, winner of Camp BizSmart, recognized by Future in Review (FIRE) conference, and with featured articles in Forbes, GeekWire, and more, Joule Case is generating buzz and excitement across industries and platforms.In the pipeline, a well-known, global, $3 trillion corporation is hoping to leverage Joule Case technology into its sales and distribution channels...Users love how Joule Case batteries do everything a noisy, toxic generator can do, and do it refreshingly quietly, and sustainably.Between decades of experience in battery technology, extremely successful exits, and multiple patents, Joule Case brings a highly curated team of experts and doers that are ready to scale.When it comes to affordability, simplicity, energy capacity, and portability, we believe Joule Case is truly in a league of its own.Joule Case has already raised over $2M from angel investors. Big names like LIVE Nation, PG&E, Insomniac, CORT, and PGA are waiting eagerly in the pipeline, and an ambitious vision for the future includes batteries that power everything from Burning Man to your neighborhood food truck, as well as everyday items like refrigerators, air conditioning, lights, and laptops.Forward-looking projections cannot be guaranteed.There’s never been a better time to get onboard with a renewable energy startup.

## FAQ
1. **Can you tell me more about the Joulecase micro-battery?**
   - It is a small battery to charge your phone. About 3000mAh. It fits well in your bag and is branded with the Joule Case logo to look good when your phone needs a quick recharge.
2. **Have you considered a $5k and $10k investment perk? $2k for a shirt and then the jump to $25k seems like an odd gap. I've helped fund a few companies through WeFunder and I've not see a gap like that. Even getting some additional shares at those levels would be a great perk.**
   - Good idea Shane. We have updated our perks and now have exciting options at $5k and $10k.
3. **Please reduce min investment amount to $100. So that non US people can also invest in good number.**
   - Thank you for your interest in Joule Case. We thought long and hard on the minimum investment amount. We will continually monitor this. Stay tuned.
4. **What are you doing differently than significant competitor Jackery (jackery.com)? They appear to be a leader in the portable power stations and solar generators, which is 80% of your target market (camping and off-grid/micro-grid). Thanks!**
   - Thanks for the question, Nathan. It's one we love answering! With Jackery, and all other competitors, you as a consumer are stuck with a solution that is likely too small or complete overkill for your needs. Our patented, stackable battery and power systems mean our product platform and architecture can power anything from a small charging station to a large music festival. Same underlying technology but much more customizable for each individual consumer. Simply put, we provide flexibility a...
5. **What broad view advantages do your patents cover for your company? I see the stackable option.**
   - Thank you for the question. At a high level, our patents allow a single standard power/energy storage architecture to power separate, unique power applications. Powering phone charging, a tailgate, campsite, convention hall trade show, and all the different power applications in a music festival (site lighting, merch, first aid, and main stage) require different voltages, amps and durations. This means Joule Case solves for all of your portable, temporary, and backup power needs. It simplifie...

## Q&A
- Q: What lessons did you learn from your experience with R2EV that will be helpful for Joule Case?
  - A: There were so many lessons! Many technical lessons learned that have made Joule Case a better product. We also learned the value of an immediate sale. R2EV required a very long sales cycle with large car manufacturers. When Joule Case started, we immediately started talking to our customers to ensure there was a product market fit that could be immediately validated with sales.
- Q: Hi, I invested and may do more. This presentation is incredibly well done and thorough, and your Lead Investor does a great job summarizing the opportunity for investors. I usually try to ask very specific questions but in this case I may be a little general. I'm stuck on valuation. I don't think it's at all unfair or unrealistic, but I do want to be convinced that you could get to a multiple of that before investing more. I know you have to be careful about making projections, so I'll ask this way: What would need to happen (no guarantees expected!) as far as capturing the festival market, opening new markets (which ones?), and product innovations to get to a value 3x or more of the likely post money valuation? Thanks!
  - A: Thank you for the investment and the question. As we continue to position ourselves as an attractive acquisition we are expecting significant growth across our market verticals. The festival market is the simplest path to 3x+ post money valuation. For 2022, we will continue to supply to Insomniac (100M contract; 200+ events annually), CORT Rentals (1000+ events annually), and LIVE Nation (1000+ events annually). These events will lead to secured large scale inventory financing.  This will allow Joule Case to be successful without additional equity capital raises.    Food trucks, home backup, camping, photography, and facility backup are all exciting markets that we continue to see growth in sales. When events shut down in 2020, there was a preliminary focus on these markets and we grew them from $0 to over $200K in 2020. We are tracking to double those sales in the next 6 months while the primary focus remains on events.  Depending on how far Joule Case goes along the product roadmap before acquisition, we have several exciting technologies to integrate into the Joule Case product platform. Additional technologies, products, and patents have been identified to integrate Joule Case as the seamless energy/battery provider for power applications such as apartment or facility backup. I believe we will have acquisition opportunities in the near term from strategic customers but if given several years to develop these additional technologies that are already patented, we become a very appealing acquisition opportunity to Amazon, Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook as they continue to push a connected home with devices that require reliable energy/power from a failing grid.
- Q: After reading the foodtruck update, I would like to mention Joule to a foodtrucker I know but have no idea what to tell him regarding cost. Is there a base cost plus a cost per KW? Or can you say what that 12KW system cost including installation? Thanks.
  - A: That would be greatly appreciated. Broadly speaking, our cost is around $0.66 per watt-hour of storage before tax breaks and local/federal incentives that can be up to 40% of the total cost in clean energy rebates. Installation costs vary depending on local costs but a ballpark net cost is $6-$8K for a system of this size and total tax incentives realized.
- Q: Hi, this looks really interesting. Great name also. Maybe this came up elsewhere, but does JouleCase assemble batteries using third party li-ion cells, or is it making its own (or has plans to make its own at some point)? If using 3rd party cells, is the supply relatively secure for 2022? Also, looking back at the original plan for the FUEL battery, will JouleCase explore batteries as a service? (I suppose the trailered battery is a service?) And finally, will be there any smaller batteries coming out in the future (e.g., at 36 or 48 volt) in the 20-25 amp hour range (asking for the e bike market). On larger e bikes/e trikes, the module and battery form factory you have may prove perfect. Thanks.
  - A: Great questions Peter. I am glad you like the name. We do too! Joule Case is leveraging battery packs from our vendors. Like Dell or Apple, we are not a battery chemistry or battery pack manufacturer. We have integrated several different battery chemistries into our platform as we can choose the best batteries out there as a result. Our battery supply is secure. We have been working with our largest battery supplier since 2017 and have establish a trusting relationship through the years. We currently offer battery/power rentals as a service for events to match the current business model of generators. Our new batteries have full IoT 5G capabilities for further data and monetization opportunities. In regards to the smaller battery question: Joule Case is continuing to develop additional products and technologies that will integrate into our product platform/architecture. I can't share all the details but keep an eye out for exciting announcements in the near future!
- Q: Can we get some financial data ?
- Q: I just invested in Joule Case, and I am extremely excited to invest again before you close your funding round. What is your date of close?
  - A: Glad to have you on the team! We will close this round on January 31st.
- Q: Hi,James being that Im a truck driver and some time drivers may have a problem with the engine and brake down and some time it could take 3or 4 hours before roadside can get out to a Driver.if its winter a driver could freeze and summer would be hot.could these stackable batteries be place in a semi to like run a small compact heater are a small Ac Unit.Just asking Horace Banks jr Truck driver.
  - A: Absolutely! This would be a great application and our sales team would be happy to discuss further.
- Q: Thank you for answering my questions. One follow-up: My first question was concerning the most recent round of preferred stock sold. I was under the impression that you sold preferred stock in 2021. In the management update it states “Since the date our financials cover… We also underwent a stock split for our common stock and sold a round of preferred stock.” The WeFunder details page states 10/2021 Priced Round $771,993. If this is correct, can you please provide the terms of this latest raise. Valuation, liquidation pref, etc.
  - A: The date is 10/2021 when the paperwork was filed but was funded in spring of '21. This also created the 10X stock split and converted the convertible notes. It was a pre-money valuation of $14.8M with a 1X liquidation preference non-participating.
- Q: Do you have a suggestion around the disposability care for the product when it reaches end of life?
  - A: Excellent question Samuela. This is one we frequently get and consider often. Companies like Redwood Recycling has setup a large lithium recycling center in Nevada next to Tesla and has proved recycling lithium is economically feasible. I envision a very similar program such as lead acid car batteries with a government deposit. In the meantime, we have second and third life in our batteries to deploy in developing communities through non-profits such as Mercy Corps and World Concern.
- Q: Is there a way that users for the product can monitor the current battery charge status for each stack? Probably having some kinda charge status indicator included on each stack? That way users wouldnt have to stack on an empty module before use, or probably be made aware of a stack that drains quicker than the others during use.
  - A: Great question Samuela. This is something we discuss frequently. Our current version (5th version/edition) being sold on our website does not have this capability but the new version (rev 6) will absolutely have full IoT features. These will mean location, power, temperature and energy level monitoring. First and foremost Joule Case is an elegant and seamless product where consumers don't have to worry about the battery level of each stack no matter the Rev (including the current Rev being sold). When you have the full IoT and app, there are now several additional recurring revenue options. For example, a premium app with a monthly charge allows a general contractor to monitor the power across 10-15 home construction sites across a city. Another example is we can then sell our systems for less than cost and charge for energy throughput daily.
