Property owners simply attach Cameo™ to existing chargers, and our platform handles discovery, reservations, and payments—turning idle charging capacity into consistent income streams. Our Cameo adapters work with all Level-2) EV charger to charge most EVs including Tesla.Turn Your Idle Charger into a Money-Making Asset:Instant monetization of existing charging infrastructureZero additional hardware investment beyond our adapterAutomated operations through our cloud platformScalable network effects as more chargers join the marketplaceMarket Positioning: While competitors build expensive charging networks from scratch, Cameo™ leverages the millions of underutilized Level-2 chargers already installed. We're creating a peer-to-peer charging economy that generates revenue for property owners while solving the availability crisis for EV drivers.PowerHero: No Construction. No Permits. Just Plug in and Charge.Our patented technology transforms standard household outlets into fast 240V charging stations, instantly unlocking the massive apartment-dwelling EV market competitors can't reach. No construction, no permits, no capital expenditure—just plug-and-profit scalability.Why Power Hero Wins Where Others Can't Even Ente:Building owners deploy charging incrementally without costly electrical upgradesResidents charge privately at home, eliminating public station queuesHOAs approve easily—UL-certified devices require no building modificationsLeasing Companies capture revenue from 117M+ apartment dwellers abandoned by traditional infrastructureWhile Competitors Build Stations, We Build Networks:While competitors burn capital building public stations that apartment residents avoid, PowerHero delivers the charging solution directly to where people live. Our technology works with existing infrastructure, scales without construction delays, and generates revenue from day one.Power Hero addresses critical pain points that represent billions in stranded demand: older homes lacking sufficient electrical capacity, apartment complexes where charging installation is prohibitively expensive, and the notorious public charging queues that deter EV adoption.Our PowerPac offers flexible configuration to eliminate these barriers entirely—users charge the unit at home during off-peak hours, then deploy it for EV charging when needed. The unit can be wall mounted or wheeled in place. This scalable solution captures revenue from customers that high power fixed infrastructure providers abandon.Complementary to PowerPac is our Cameo ‘Airbnb’ network which leverages an installed base of millions of home Level 2 chargers to provide affordable neighborhood charging to those that cannot afford a PowerPac solution. In addition, our Cameo network cures the anxiety of being stranded anywhere; where there’s a community there’s likely a home-charger available to provide emergency charging, if it’s Cameo-enabled.Charge Anywhere. Scale Instantly. No Infrastructure Needed.Power Hero is positioned to dominate several emerging charging market segments before competitors recognize their potential. Our modular and flexible design options adapt to any space constraint, while our wheeled model requires zero installation—just plug, charge, and deploy. As EV adoption accelerates and infrastructure struggles to keep pace, Power Hero offers investors the rare opportunity to capitalize on both the problem and the solution in a market that's projected to explode over the next decade.Other Power Hero TechnologiesmPower™mPower™ utilizes our modular, flexible design based on our PowerPac™ that brings power wherever it's needed. It offers roadside assistance for drivers who find themselves stranded without power and it can also be hired for events or used to charge on the go. Here's one mobile charging concept that we're pitching in Asia Pacific where traffic congestion demands nimble transport for mobility.19 Patents. Zero Easy Competitors. One Unbeatable Moat.Power Hero has 19 strategic patents that form a competitive moat around our comprehensive EV charging ecosystem. This intellectual property portfolio doesn't just protect individual products—it safeguards our entire end-to-end solution architecture spanning hardware, software, and network infrastructure.Every Patent Protects a Revenue Stream:See the IP That Locks Out the Competition:Built Different. Defended Better. Scaled Faster: While competitors scramble to build fragmented point solutions, Power Hero's patent portfolio creates barriers to entry that protect our ability to serve every EV charging scenario—from apartment dwellers with limited access to stranded drivers in remote locations. Our IP doesn't just cover what we've built; it anticipates and blocks competitive responses to emerging market needs.2,000 Locations Ready. 650M People Waiting.Over 2000 locations have registered interest in our PowerPac beta launch in California. However, we are being pulled to address an even larger market in Latin America (LATAM) with a population of over 650M through a joint venture in Colombia, which enables us to avoid the tariff issues with China. That positions us to address LATAM in 2026 during the tariff chaos while putting us in an excellent position to address California in Q1’2027.Forward-looking projections cannot be guaranteed.Our business model consists of:Hardware Sales: Sales to government entities, property developers, retailers and car dealerships with residuals.Leasing: Offering a lease-to-own model primarily for direct-to-consumer sales.User Subscriptions: Device subscriptions with power usage, software updates, system set-up, and related services. This subscription model ensures predictable, recurring revenue.How Power Hero Makes Money — Multiple Ways:Forward-looking projections cannot be guaranteed.A $1.5 Trillion Market with the Door Wide Open:The electric vehicle (EV) market is experiencing explosive growth, with projections indicating a surge from $500 billion to $1.5 trillion by 2030. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.8%, signaling a transformative shift in the automotive industry. For investors, this presents a rare opportunity to participate in a market that's not just expanding, but fundamentally reshaping global transportation. Power Hero is strategically positioned to capitalize on this growth, focusing on a critical yet underserved segment: EV charging for apartment residents.Why Smart Investors Are Moving Now:We expect to begin generating revenue this year. To accelerate our go-to-market strategy, we’re rewarding those who invest early with an exclusive opportunity:The first $300,000 of investments will receive a price discount of 50%! Don't forget our other Perks, AND the IPO tag-along registration rights without which a lengthy LOCK-UP period will likely be imposed by the underwriter. Only investors in this campaign get to tag-along at our IPO.Forward-looking statements are not guaranteed.Thank you for considering joining the power revolution. You are not just investing for a return, you’re joining a vision for our future. You see what others miss: that we're not building another charging company. We're reimagining how an entire nation powers its future. The status quo is broken. 117 million Americans live in apartments, locked out of the EV revolution by an infrastructure that forgot they existed. While our competitors build expensive monuments to their own limitations, we asked a different question: What if every outlet could be a charging station?Here's what gets me up every morning: we are creating a new charging future. PowerPac doesn't just charge cars; it democratizes energy access. Cameo doesn't just share chargers; it creates a peer-to-peer energy economy.Together we’re building something unprecedented: a complete ecosystem that works anywhere, for anyone, without compromise. This isn't incremental improvement. This is the future, and it's elegant in its simplicity. Plug in. Charge up. Power everything.The numbers tell the story, but they don't capture the magic. We're riding a wave from $500 billion to $1.5 trillion by 2030. Over 2,000 locations are already lined up for our California launch, with 6 million more waiting in the wings.But here's what excites me most: we're not just building a company, we're empowering the future for a sustainable planet. Every apartment dweller who can finally go electric, every stranded driver who finds power when they need it, every community that becomes energy-independent is the real return on your investment.

Also, I began investing in startups for over ten years and at Mastercard I get to meet a lot of innovators. I have not seen an investment opportunity that is so clearcut as that of Power Hero. Firstly, there is an indisputable need for EV charging and a growing one at that. Secondly, Power Hero has 15 patents that underlie 4 product groups, which not only gives an investor comfort as a defensive asset but the broad utility of the inventions provides assurance of market acceptance in at least one application. All it takes is just one product success to make Power Hero a winner, and the company has 4 potential home-run products. Thirdly, and arguably the most important is the caliber and experience of the team. Esmond and several members of his team have started and exited many successful ventures.
