Easy and Secure Investing for Everyone

Regolith offers a wide range of financial instruments, including:

1. Pre-IPO and Angel Round: Over-the-counter deals and venture investments that provide the opportunity to invest in companies at early stages of their development before they go public
2. Commodity Fund: Trading in commodity groups allowing participation in deals with commodity assets.
3. IPO: Participation in the initial public offering of shares, giving the opportunity to purchase shares of companies at the start of their trading on the stock exchange.
4. Real Estate: Investments in real estate, including construction in Thailand, UAE, and the USA, as well as real estate funds.
5. Stock Market Fund: Trading in shares through funds that operate both on the rise and fall of stock prices (long/short fund).
6. Crypto Token: Crypto assets and crypto funds offering investments in digital currencies and related products.

There are 7 criteria for selecting venture deals for Angel Round and Pre-IPO at early and late stages:

1. First, we look for B-round companies. This reduces the possible time to IPO.
2. We do not consider companies whose financing round was valued lower than the previous round.
3. We require companies to have a capitalisation growth rate of at least 0.8% per week. The higher, the better, but 0.8% is the minimum.
4. We investigate companies that have already been invested in by 10 or more venture funds and try to identify at least two well-known venture funds. Then we analyze the statistics of these funds related to taking companies public, their exit times, and the results they achieved. There should be at least two such funds.
5. We study the company and, in most cases, try to engage with it to see if the product works. We typically look for market leaders with large clients. Good examples are Instacart and BitPay, both of which we assessed against our criteria. The Instacart service was not userfriendly , whilst BitPay, amongst other things, was very user-friendly and trustworthy. We chose BitPay after checking the company met the necessary criteria.
6. Our business sectors should become key trends of the year. This includes, cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, energy, software, automation, robots, etc. Underwriters aggressively conduct IPOs for companies these sectors in quick succession. For example, in 2021, pharmaceutical companies specializing in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease conducted 6 IPO deals. Since then, there have been less IPOs in this sector, signalling the end of this trend. With this in mind, we are assessing the current themes for 2023-2024 and focus on these For example, crypto lending - ABRA, and SaaS - Dataminer, as well as crypto acquiring and storage - BitPay.
7. Then we ask our brokers in the USA to show us deals based on this selection process. They will either offer us possible deals, or we will ask them to find free shares of the companies that we are interested in. It can work both ways. If a company's fundraising goals are already met, and there are no shares, our broker will show us their main competitor. This starts the process of searching for shares and negotiating with sellers. Sellers are mainly employees who have worked in these companies for many years and want to buy a house or leave the company. They have an option that we will buy out.

Each potential deal undergoes an assessment by Regolith analysts to determine its potential. This is followed by a rigorous legal review to ensure its security. Only after these stages does Regolith decide to participate in a particular deal.

Regolith maintains accounts with brokerage firms that are members of the NYSE, FINRA, and SIPC and are regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. SIPC partially protects our structure from the loss of funds and securities such as stocks and bonds belonging to SIPC members experiencing financial difficulties. This organization serves as an analogue of the FDIC and insures the assets of clients on brokerage accounts in case of bankruptcy. SIPC protection provides brokerage clients with insurance coverage of up to $500,000, with a limit of $250,000 per account. When a brokerage firm closes due to bankruptcy or other financial difficulties and client assets are missing, SIPC intervenes as quickly as possible and within certain limits works to return funds, stocks, and other securities of clients, as well as other client assets. With the help of SIPC, investors of brokerage companies experiencing financial difficulties (according to analysts' estimates, no less than 99%) receive back their investments from SIPC. From its creation by Congress in 1970 up until December 2020, SIPC helped return assets totaling $1.418 billion to approximately 773,000 investors.

Countries whose legal systems are based on English common law have the "strongest protection of external investors." The National Security and Investment (NSI) Act empowers the government to thoroughly review and intervene in business operations such as mergers and acquisitions to protect national security, while providing businesses and investors with the confidence and transparency needed to conduct business.

Regolith is also subject to regulation by the FSA as a financial regulator. It is responsible for monitoring the activities of registered companies. Companies are required to have insurance coverage for their financial activities and undergo mandatory government inspection every 12-18 months.
