KNOLL Capital Group Ltd. is a non-public financial holding company which steers INOPTEC-related activities and distributes profits to its business partners.
This financial holding company is the 100% owner of start-up subsidiaries and thus represents an overall start-up company structure comprising the holding company itself and:
1) INOPTEC Ltd. | UK & DE | Company No.: 077 34 246
2) INOPTEC GROUP IRELAND Ltd. | IE | Company No.: 646774
3) KNOLL MEDIA Ltd. | UK | Company No.: 077 34 225
The goal is to foster this start-up company structure and its unique and disruptive human enhancement technology and shareholder value as follows:
KCG is an open-end evergreen fund – which aims to deliver at least a Return on Investment (ROI) 10-fold within 7 – 10 years (IRR > 40%) – plus an additional 20% LP per annum accumulating in 1st rank; the shares are free tradeable (no lock-up periods), with automatic profit distribution (no need to sell the shares).
1. Where does the value of KCG Holding come from?
-
The driving force is INOPTEC Ltd., which owns all the patents and know-how around its disruptive Vision Enhancement System! (1bn USD market)
KCG, in turn, is the 100% owner of this INOPTEC subsidiary and is, therefore, the valid owner of all patents and further assets, according to tax law:
The value of the patents/assets is reflected in the KCG holding company — and not (as one would think) in INOPTEC.
STATUS QUO: Up to now, the main driver of the KCG share price has been an increasing number of international patents, but with future profits from product sales (see last bullet point in this section), the share price will further increase.
— -
Secondly, INOPTEC (or other subsidiaries under KCG) are to be sold later, which is referred to as an “exit” (10x ROI envisaged) – and then all profits flow into KCG and are distributed there “automatically” according to the company’s statutes.
This is also why you never have to sell your shares – their ownership “feels like a bond”.
— -
Thirdly, the overall company structure will also be optimised for tax purposes through an Irish intermediate holding company, which will also be the sales headquarters for Europe — possibly beyond.
— - THE FUTURE: INOPTEC’s business plan is very stable and unique because there are no competitors, our products are patented, and the focus is only on “urgent need markets” where customers are willing to pay “any price” for our wearable tech devices and eyewear.
The goal is to sell these products, mainly B2C as a brand, similar to the business cases of Apple, Samsung, Fitbit, Garmin, Polar, etc.
Hence, the patents above are still salient over time, but the KCG share price will soar as soon as INOPTEC’s profits gradually become more dominant.This unique proposition leads to high growth and significant profits – see Slide#2 of 16, which you can DOWNLOAD here.
2. Why did people invest? — apart from the aforementioned ROI expectations.
- We create win-win synergies to forge common interests among partners and team members.
— - Shareholders are participating in a unique network of excellent and bright-minded thought-leaders with similar interests, ethical values, etc. – striving to bring a disruptive world’s first technology to market.
— - Suppliers, manufacturers, B2B clients, big brands, etc., who wanted to become exclusive long-term partners — and part of this lucrative project at the forefront of novel safety & performance technologies.
— - Co-founders and other team members of INOPTEC – to either become serious co-owners or to get some incentive shares (ESOP).
— - Co-branding and similar publicity synergies in media networks.
— - The cherry on top is networking with other investors, and finding new clients or other opportunities at our events.
I.E., please download the “INVITATION to our Shareholder & Associates Meeting 2023” in Dublin, IE, 26–28.10.2023.
Who are “Associates”? They are typically entrepreneurs themselves, who are symbolically invested in KCG – which is an alternative pathway to be part of the #foundersclub of K|EnC Ventures. This deliberate overlap/mix ensures that we have enough investors and founders for these events.
3. Who has invested so far?
- C-level managers, company owners, and executive partners of companies who wanted to become exclusive suppliers, manufacturers, B2B brands, etc. because all KCG investors automatically become INOPTEC’s “preferred suppliers” – as we strive to create a self-stabilising network with mutual support.
— - Business advisors – like successful entrepreneurs with exit experience.
— - Legal experts — such as lawyers and tax advisors.
— - Finance experts — such as bankers, portfolio managers, and stockbrokers.
— - Co-founders and other team members of INOPTEC.
— - Family & Friends of the founder — where also new investors have become friends, as we foster a culture of mutual support.
— - Influencers & Networkers — such as keynote speakers, etc.
— - Purpose-driven investors who are interested in both — social impact (UN SDG, longtermism, effective altruism) and shareholder value.
The leading proponent who tries to advocate this movement is the founder himself, Ralf G.J. Knoll (CV PDF download)— although fully aware that KCG attracted all sorts of investment characters so far.
The latter should change gradually, as the main purpose of this company is mainly to help customers in need, e.g. light-sensitive migraine patients (avoiding painful attacks, allowing them to sustainably participate in outdoor sports again #inclusion, #participation, #sustainablity, #purposedriven etc.), — whilst earning money is a desired side effect to attract (also) classical investors.
Therefore, the meaning of ‘sustainable‘ is not limited to the green economy but also includes the pursuit of a happy and healthy life over the long term.
–
More information on the founder’s background, goals to improve society, and ideals can be found on his YouTube Channel and KCG’s YouTube Channel.
Ralf G.J. Knoll is still the lead investor – regarding the combination of money invested (> 200k EUR cash) AND time invested (equivalent to> 1 million EUR).
— - End consumers (i.e. migraine patients, outdoor sports enthusiasts, motorcyclists, etc.) and any form of client (including B2B clients, i.e. hospitals, health insurance companies, fire brigades, airlines, rescue & law enforcement teams, etc.) who want to support the development of this urgently needed product and to participate in the lucrative dividend discharge as a co-owner (please register your interest in completing the form below).
—N.B. In a wider sense, this progressive and inclusive form of democracy/ownership has similarities to beneficial societies. Did you know that the oldest existing University, in Bologna, was owned by its students?
If you are interested in the various forms of democracy/ownership design — you might like to watch Roman Krznaric at the RSA on YouTube where he speaks about steward-ownership — and to read about his renowned wife, Kate Raworth, an economist known for doughnut economics.
This way, the founder of KCG, Ralf Knoll, who is also a Fellow of the RSA, is trying to establish a kind of mutual aid society, or a steward-owned company, which goes well beyond any product crowdfunding initiatives, which are mainly focussing on the product, but not on the common/individual long-term good –AND– on sharing the financial returns.
