FAQ:
- Q: Hi there - a) What is your monthly burn rate? b) What is your cash on hand? c) Are you raising a parallel angel or VC round simultaneously? If yes, who is investing in this round?
  A: Hi Teddy, a) our monthly burn rate is about $5k, some months up to $10k. I've built Skeyeon on a minimal burn rate based on my experience at my previous company, Peregrine Semiconductor. b) we have about $120k on hand and $150k in backlog on Govt contracts c) I'm not conducting a parallel raise but additional angel investors beyond our current group is possible but not actively being pursued. d) N/A
- Q: Hi, Please elaborate for us on your patents. How many have been grated and how many are submitted and pending. Of those granted, are they owned wholly by Skeyeon Inc, and if not to whom are they assigned. Thanks for clarifying. Blessings
  A: Hi Kim, we currently have seven issued US patents plus another that was just allowed for which we will pay the filing fee and should see it issue in 4-8 weeks. We also have 3 more US patents in process (aka "pending") and two international patents in process in the PCT system (we will choose which countries to file when that deadline hits). All of these patents are 100% owned by Skeyeon with all rights from all inventors assigned to Skeyeon. The portfolio covers numerous aspects of our system...
- Q: What makes you think Skeyeon will succeed when there are very well funded and publicly traded EO companies today? Do you not think that you are late to the game?
  A: The key advantage is that a VLEO solution will be at least 10X lower cost compared to existing solutions at the same resolution. Cost savings come from the telescope, satellite costs and launch costs, all of which scale at square law or even cube law (telescope/camera) with distance. Most existing EO companies are flying $10-400M satellites aimed at extremely high resolution at very low re-image rates.
- Q: When does this initial level of investing end?
  A: Our current cash supports the company for 2 years. We have not yet withdrawn any of the Wefunder commitments, which will extend our runway. Plus, the current US Govt contract generates cash for us as well. Thanks for your excellent question and let us know if you have any others
- Q: Hello Ron, Could you please provide us with a medium-term forecast of your annual sales (5 years for example). Thank you for your attention.
  A: Hi Hugo, our revenues today are from various government R&D contracts. The largest such contract is expected to generate about $400k in 2024 and about $200k in 2025, all dependent on progress toward our first satellite launch. We have additional projects in the pipeline but they are not fully funded yet, with two large proposals for launch of VLEO constellations to conduct earth observation. If funded, they will kick off in 2025 and generate about $500k/year for two years. But again, thes...
