2018 Likely to Be In Position for Securing Strategic Partner
> OrthodontiCell = Competitor Invisilign is worth $13.7 billion. They straighten teeth in 18 months. We believe based on early small animal data and lab experiments and studies conducted with RANKL and OPG by others that we can straighten teeth in 6 months. They have no provision to freeze teeth straight > we believe we do with our patent pending bioelectric controlled release of OPG. Current Status = We are completing now final animal studies at Forysyth Institute in Boston and plan to enter clinical trials the 1st half of 2018 at Tufts University, UCLA and UCSF in San Francisco.
> VascuStim – Over 1 million diabetic related amputations are expected this year alone. Over 23 million amputations are expected by 2030. The diabetes population is exploding rising from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014 and expected to increase by 25 to 50% more by 2030. Vascustim through collaborations has completed clinical studies in Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland and Mexico in more than 70 patients utilizing bioelectric microcurrent stimulation and/or stem cells. Over 30 papers have been published by a variety of teams from around the world documenting the benefits of bioelectric stimulation in improving wound healing A separate study was completed independently by researchers in Czech Republic demonstrating the benefit of adding selected growth factors. Our partners in Utah for amniotic fluid membranes have documented dozens of cases of diabetic leg and foot wound healing and numerous independent studies have been published documenting the same. The VascuStim approach is to combine specific bioelectric stimulation signals for stem cell homing, blood vessel growth, healing and tissue regeneration with stem cells and selected growth factors for healing diabetic foot and leg ulcers and for limb salvage. In some studies in some countries such as the USA we will utilize only bioelectric stimulation and amniotic fluid membranes to get started due to regulatory constraints. Our bench top bioelectric stimulator via our manufacturing partner in California already has FDA 510K market clearance for improving blood circulation. Amniotic fluid membranes are already marketed under the homologous exemption by our Utah based manufacturing partner. Current Status = We now are launching a worldwide paid registry clinical trial at more than 30 centers with plans for us getting paid for the product during the studies under category B designation reimbursement.

Summary
Leonhardt’s Launchpads is the innovation and startup accelerator arm of Leonhardt Ventures founded by Howard J. Leonhardt in 1982. Howard Leonhardt is an inventor and serial entrepreneur with 21 issued organ regeneration and recovery patents and dozens of more patent claims pending at the USPTO – https://patents.justia.com/inventor/howard-j-leonhardt. Leonhardt Ventures has been bringing organ regeneration and recovery innovations to market since 1982. In the 1980’s they patented and pioneered cardiovascular balloon catheter development – PolyCath. In the 1990’s they patented and developed the leading stent graft system for endovascular repair of aortic aneurysms TALENT and the first percutaneous heart valve. Their team completed the first ever stem cell repair of an animal heart in 1988 and landmark first-ever non-surgical stem cell repair of a human heart in 2001. In 1999 they published their first paper on bioelectric based organ regeneration in CIRCULATION. Leonhardt Ventures has raised over $140 million to fund its startups since its founding and has had primary exits valued at $440 million and secondary exits exceeding $4.3 billion. In 2008 they opened up their first incubator/accelerator in Northern California followed in 2013 in Southern California and 2015 in Utah. These accelerators currently incubate 30 startups 27 of which are focused on bioelectric and endovascular based organ regeneration and recovery. Most of the startups in the accelerator are based on Leonhardt’s patented and patent pending bioelectric stimulation platform technology for stem homing, proliferation and differentiation and organ regeneration via controlled protein expressions. The 2017 startup portfolio is the culmination of over 35 years experience in organ regeneration and recovery research and experimentation.
Our accelerator business model is to advance each startup to first-in-man results and then sell to a strategic partner/buyer preferably with a 3% royalty forward on net sales. Our goal is 23X ROI on accelerator shares and 63X on individual startup shares after 5 years. See schedule chart below of expected exits timing over the next 5 years.
Investments at this time are all 2:1 meaning if you invest $30,000 in the innovation accelerator you receive $30,000 worth of shares of the accelerator stock AND also a 2:1 a warrant valued at $30,000 to acquire at no further charge $30,000 worth of shares of any or all of the 30 startups in the 2017 accelerator portfolio class– You have until Dec. 31st of the year you invest to decide your allocation of your warrant to any or all of the startups you choose.
The startups generally are owned as follows = 50.1% owned by Leonhardt Ventures LLC, 9 to 20% owned by Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. DBA Leonhardt’s Launchpads and the balance 29.9% to 40.9% owned by management, advisors and outside shareholders. The startups generally start out with a valuation of $2.3 to $5 million and the target goal is to sell them in 5 years or after first-in-man data comes in, which ever comes first, at $240 to $800 million with ideally a 3% royalty on net sales forward. We strive as a goal to keep dilution to 37% over 5 years with our anti-dilutive business model.

QUOTE – “These are forward looking projections. As we are a startup the only thing we can guarantee is that we will miss them over and over again, until we survive our own mistakes” Rachid Sefrioui, Professional Investor, Venture Capitalist @ Finaventures, Entrepreneur
GENERAL
By nature of being extremely short in scope elevator pitches leave out relevant risks and can be misleading in portraying a technology or company to be better than it may appear if a more lengthy and comprehensive presentation is made. The conciseness of the language by nature is slanted to the positive and de-emphasizes risks and obstacles.
These risks include…
1. Startups may not have or secure resources to brings it products to market.
2. None of these startups have tested their products sufficiently enough to make any definitive product or company performance claims.
3. The startups patents pending may not be issued. Patent license agreements may not hold up.
4. All the company agreements, including patent licenses, supply and research agreements are subject to conditions which may not be met or may not have already been met to keep them active and enforceable.
5. The company with a small staff undertaking so many activities is bound to have mistakes in information and outdated information on selected web sites and other documents.
6. Any early stage investment is high risk but these startups are even higher risk since they attempt to take on very large medical problems where other firms with much more substantial resources have failed.
7. No other firm has been highly successful financially in stem cell or bioelectric based organ regeneration. Most of the startups in these accelerators are attempting to do something which has never been done before.
8. Traditionally it costs hundreds of millions of dollars just to bring one of these products to market and many years of development by a focused team of professionals. This accelerator business model attempts to bring up to 30 innovations through first-in-man studies with a substantially smaller staff with dramatically substantially less resources than our traditionally required for even one startup of this type. This in and of itself is and indicator of associated extremely high investment risk.
9. Personnel highlighted as being involved in the projects and startups are nearly all part time and are not compensated most often by cash. Many consultants and advisors listed limit their help to a few hours annually. A number do not have signed agreements in place and are working with the companies in a less formal capacity.
10. Research projects started may not be finished for a variety of reasons.
