00:00welcome to go fund yourself watch up-and-coming entrepreneurs step into the spotlight to pitch
00:12their businesses to you this is interactive TV like what you see scan the on-screen QR code
00:20with your mobile device and invest in these businesses in real time all right here we go
00:25let's go another round you decide whether to help these entrepreneurs dreams come true I got to get
00:30me some of that or tell them to go fund yourself I'm in you have me a Latino I think there's a real
00:36opportunity there meet the Titans ready to ask the questions you the investors want answered
00:42how do you make money creator of go fund yourself Rory Kataya it makes sense to crowdfund something
00:50like this and get in now Jason Waller I can't tell you what to do but this is a lottery ticket David
00:55Meltzer things will go viral very quickly this isn't just entertainment because there is a huge
01:00opportunity with the money that you raise what will you do with it that's massive oh I like that and
01:07now it's time to go fund yourself
01:09joining the panel today our guest Titans wing lamb CEO and co-founder of Wahoo's fish taco and Shannon
01:26Carlson president and founder of curator 24 and here to bring data transfer into the future is Charles
01:33Yeomans founder and CEO of atom beam our technology applies to virtually every machine in the world this
01:42technology we believe is going to turn into a very big deal you very well likely in the next few years
01:49we'll have it on your phone and just about anything you could name because everything needs it
01:54hey everybody welcome welcome I'm Charles Yeomans I'm the CEO of atom beam and we are a software company
02:08that has a product called nerd pack that basically will increase the speed of data almost any data from
02:16almost any machine machine data IOT data is growing very fast 30 to 40 percent a year the networks that
02:26have it can only manage to put through somewhere between 10 and 0.1 percent of it so what do you get you
02:35get very little data going through is this compression technology it's like it but it's not I mean we have 99
02:43patents that say it's not there's a packet loss associated with it no all right now I'm very
02:48interested tell me how this works so what we do is we have a machine learning algorithm and what it
02:53does is it looks at a big sample set of these little tiny messages it might be 10 bytes nothing
02:59that compression can work on and it looks in those packages for patterns that repeat and each one is
03:08matched to a code word and so you might have 128-bit patterns but 3-bit 5-bit 10-bit code words data gets
03:18generated all the patterns in it are replaced with code words and it can all be done in a swap which
03:26in computer terms is about as fast as it gets a couple of microseconds so the effect is we get about a 75%
03:35reduction in the size of the of the files and we can do it in a couple of microseconds which in effect
03:41means we get about on average about four times more data through a given pipe four times more effective
03:48bandwidth and so this is a big deal right for a lot of different purposes so how is that different from
03:54compression technology what compression is doing is compression says okay let's look at one file in
04:01isolation for repetitions of pattern but if you're talking about a typical machine data then it's too
04:08small it's not going to work so the only way you can use compression on it is you take a bunch of these
04:14things smash them together and then you can compress it but to get that you got to wait you got to wait
04:21until you get enough of these little files so that it actually works you might wait a few minutes you
04:26might wait an hour you know so you have to accept a lot of latency but ours you get no latency and it
04:34just flows right through all of our military and allied militaries use this link called link 16
04:41link 16 is super slow it's 1980s tech it's 25 30 k bps k bps and which is like dialogue so if you're
04:52the military and you say how long is it going to take to replace the hardware to upgrade the hardware
05:00and how much would it cost to upgrade the hardware and literally 10,000 nodes 10,000 places where this
05:07is probably 10 years and billions how much would it cost to install NERPAC our technology as a software
05:16upgrade I mean a lot less than billions we have a two million dollar contract with the US Space Force
05:25that says we want you to push link 16 through our satellites have you begun executing this oh yeah
05:35we're three-quarters of the way into it and everything's secure that piece is all yeah we have it we have a
05:41two-star retired admiral on our board we have another assistant secretary of defense this is
05:46the stuff you gotta lead with baby that's powerful I was right that's right baby let him know hot damn
05:55all right how much money are you trying to raise uh 10 million okay Rory's gonna write you a check today
06:01what's your revenue right now revenue is small it's only like a million something what happened to the
06:08two million dollar contract well no because we're we have the contract oh I see I haven't realized
06:12that yet right okay so you know so in and just to be clear the we have a SAS version of this that's
06:20commercial but nobody wants it everybody wants on print everybody wants the installed product so
06:26we just released the beta a couple weeks ago the GA comes out at the end of this month and we have a
06:33line pretty long of people who want to use it they don't want the SAS product why because of security
06:39issues what is it most of the companies are big companies they don't want to send things to our
06:46cloud they want it in their own cloud they want it on their own devices they want it in their own stack
06:51and so now we're addressing that with this new approach we already have beta testers
06:59uh fintech moving data around for banks uh gas meters and other kinds of smart meters I mean just
07:07an instance there a smart meter generates maybe a mega day and the network that is those are attached to
07:15can send about 10 kilobytes kilobytes a day so you have about one percent you can send the gas meter guys
07:23are really all over this so we're a lot of the the car companies we have I can't say the names of them
07:29but there's two big car companies that are working with us right now want to get into pilots um some of
07:37the big oil companies I mean you name it everybody wants to get more data than they can get and this is how
07:44you can do it without having to completely change spend billions of dollars on the network is anyone else
07:50doing what you're doing in the space right now no what's your next biggest hurdle
07:54it's really just getting this software into as many devices as possible in the real world and
08:05really pushing it because that's when you find out what you really got right Charles do you have
08:12someone on your team that's prioritizing where the biggest opportunities lie because it seems to be a
08:19mathematical no-brainer and if you're raising 10 million dollars for example I think me as an
08:25investor and others listening would like to know where's that lowest hanging fruit where the hundred
08:30million dollar deal is so the gas meter thing is really good um so we're partnered with a company
08:37a mid-sized player in the in a smart meter area so our go-to-market in many cases and this is a good
08:44instance is we cut a deal with them they work with us to get it tested in their stack and and in
08:54proposals and and at the same time they want to start selling this to their competitors we want to be a
09:02distributor but how big of an opportunity is that we haven't like negotiated the price so it's harder
09:07for me to tell you exactly yeah that's what I'm saying I'm saying like in this space when you have
09:12something this big you know that's where you hire the consultative firms you don't have the capacity
09:19to understand like what those companies over the last 20 years have learned in this space
09:24there's tons of companies that have not only the relationships but the knowledge of prioritizing
09:32these opportunities and quantifying and quantifying them so you know it won't like McKinsey right that's
09:37what they do and why I think a great investment for you or utilization of those funds would be
09:44because you're looking at a multi-billion dollar business that's what we think I mean look I'm
09:50it's it's a data at high speed baby everybody loves data you love data I love data obviously the
09:56department of defense loves data you got one there with with you know with them so do you have a reg a
10:00reg cf what do you got open right we are filing a reg a this week we did a reg cf earlier this month
10:07um okay but you're going bigger sold out in eight and a half days so look that's important for the
10:15viewers to know this that's huge right like so these are the things that the people watching this are
10:20going to be like they're going to have FOMO I don't want to miss out on that clearly a phenomenal
10:24idea like a product business the whole thing like this is it's unbelievable so kudos to you for that
10:31fantastic it's very rare that we see something that we just think is just checks all the boxes
10:37for us right where we're quiet I'm sitting here like I don't even know what to say it's so good
10:41eight and a half days closing your reg cf wow that deserves a damage one oh pretty awesome they
10:52really really got into it right away understood what I was talking about right away nice man you
10:59got the red button that's a big deal that's a big deal is it yeah oh that's big yeah very big great
11:04job where do I write a check it was exciting and interesting and I you know and I appreciated that
11:09they really got it and got excited about it they see what I saw when you were you were a little quiet
11:16on that one so uh what are you thinking it reminds me of the early mid 80s in the reagan warriors star
11:23wars there was a tiny little company called sun microsystems oh little startup and together with
11:32our old company sparta incorporated we built the best mousetrap on how to communicate in real time
11:39before we launched missiles as we now know as the internet so that guy reminded me of that because
11:46he's got something unique he's not a gigantic company it's a small right but he's got something
11:52that can revolutionize so you were quiet because you were in awe I was in awe yes yeah absolutely amazing
11:59yeah Jayce I was in awe as well you were like hey what do you think I'm like I don't even know what
12:04to ask him he's covered everything he started out of the gate slow I was like and you were asking I'm like
12:09that seems like it's the same thing yeah and then after he got out of his own way and he explained
12:14that he closed that reg cf in eight days and that that he has a two million dollar deal with the uh
12:20space force space force right like all these things he has lined up I was in awe as well viewers
12:26watching this invest this is the kind of thing you want to invest in that's my opinion like this is
12:31something that I would put my money where my mouth is on this because like you said that's that's a home run
12:37you know you have those moments where you meet someone and they're telling you their concept idea
12:41business whatever and you just know this is a grand slam yeah hey I'm you know pleased proud that uh
12:49we have these kind of companies on the show so that the average person sitting in their living room
12:53right now so could say hey I could be an owner in that they would never see this kind of asset class
13:00yeah you had you have to be rich like wing to get into some microsystem early unbelievable right
13:05exactly so hey I'm proud of that he may close this before the episode ends it may start and before
13:10the damn show ends before he gets to his car until it could be full absolutely amazing congratulations
13:17way to go
13:18I think Adam Beam is the software company of the future um they're solving the problem
13:29everyone's facing dude that sounds awesome right don't forget to scan the qr code scan that code
13:35don't miss out on the next big thing go fund yourself
13:38and now joining our panel of titans our author speaker and entrepreneur chelsea huesom and ted
13:52haberfield president and chairman at investor relations firm mz digital and heading to the
13:57stage now with a product that could revolutionize the lighting industry is john mcdonald owner of twist
14:03bright twist bright is a revolutionary new bulb that i invented this is a great opportunity for
14:11me and my company and i'm hoping to come a name brand across america somebody that they can trust and
14:17rely on that's what i i'm about
14:25hi titans my name is john mcdonald and i'm the founder of mcdonald products over the past several
14:30years has been major problems with light bulbs not working humming buzzing flickering as a fourth
14:36generation contractor with mechanical and electrical engineering experience i reinvented the light bulb
14:43with a twist i would like to introduce to you twist bright with a mobile bulb it goes from 12 watts to
14:53two watts which is a twist i redesigned the inner side to separate the board of the led and the driver
15:04i give it space and that's why there was heat short lifespan and flickering and by putting my switch
15:11in there that stopped the buzzing and humming so i created the world's best immobile bulb okay that
15:17seems pretty interesting so show us how that works simply just twist righty brighty lefty less lighty
15:28doesn't heat up it doesn't get hot because it's led and then i also got a heat shield in there and i
15:32separated the uh the components to keep the heat down for a longer lifespan to give it 10 years and i
15:37noticed that a lot of led bulbs don't work really very well if uh if they're on a dimmer yeah so this
15:44is this i could see this thing selling like hotcakes what do you think chase where are you at with
15:49this have you sold any yet or no okay what i did is i had uh companies reach me to license it which i
15:54didn't want to take that route okay why not because it's my baby and i and i want to make it grow and i
16:00know what it's what i'm going to do with it but licenses get you paid and it's still your baby i take
16:05my time and i i what i did was i sent a team out hit the streets did surveys that's how i got my pricing
16:12what is your price point my bulb is 1995 and you know everybody loved the price that's where i got
16:18the price from is the people have you sold any of these what i did was i i sold them on amazon
16:24no advertisement i sold them on amazon how many on the amazon nobody really knows about it but i do get
16:29sales here and there so you have some revenue oh yeah what's the revenue you have maybe 15 000 right
16:35now and how long you've been making the bulbs i i just opened my business in december so you're doing
16:40pretty well then i mean you're less than you got 15 000 that's great okay how much money are you
16:45raising well i'm looking to sell the product live i'm capable of doing 25 000 bulbs a day so you're
16:52not really raising capital you want to push this out there where people buy them now i want to push
16:55this out there and buy them now so people can scan the code on screen and buy these bulbs right now
17:00and not only that i have a second bulb um that it could also be purchased and it's for emergencies
17:06like when the electric's out tell us about that oh wow let's do it a twist that's huge can you bring
17:13that over here because this my man here loves gadgets i i show him that he's gonna knows me
17:16well 12 000 of them tomorrow he knows me well so this has a battery in it that has a battery and
17:22self-charges look at that that's pretty cool and it's a 10-year bulb you like it huh and how long
17:28will the light last six to eight hours wow constant use i will say i like the dimmer i my husband and i
17:35when when it's nighttime you know it's nice you want to read a book you can turn it up but then
17:39you know you want to kind of set the mood so this is brilliant honestly that's i noticed that this one
17:44doesn't dim is there a reason for that because that is dim i i got it down on two watts so the
17:48battery would last eight hours i could see you crushing this on shopify on amazon on market dot
17:56on market dot live so where do you need the most help is it is it marketing is it where do you need help
18:01i just launched tv commercials i'm here to launch um i'm ready to blow it up i took my baby steps
18:08these are my babies and they're ready to go out and make me money so you envision doing this to
18:11the consumers and then eventually do you see you go to hotel chains i want to go everywhere
18:18light bulbs are everywhere i want to be everywhere i own 100 of mcdonald products it could make my
18:23growth faster if i sold a percentage of my business but i'm i didn't want to take that route i think you're
18:29missing a real opportunity i get what you want to do and sell this product but why not license it to
18:38commercial license it to industrial license it outside of where where like right now you could
18:45do your whole gig make twist bright the biggest name in consumer uh lighting products but it's still
18:51hundreds and still at 100 yeah but i always have that opportunity to do later but why not now how much
18:58you offer me well one second you know what maybe he's right how much more value would he get for a
19:07license once he's demonstrated he sold a million units right now i get all the profit i disagree like
19:14i i would say that just because you sold a million units the people that do industrial lighting
19:18will see the value and they'll pay him millions and millions of dollars for it when i've done licensing
19:24deals in that space with literally no product here's the innovation i'm licensed it there's
19:31millions of dollars they don't have to prove that in the commercial space and so and here's another
19:35thing you know i i built this name i built this brand and i don't want somebody that had problems with
19:40their light bulbs selling my product they're patent protected their patent yeah i got two separate
19:44patents filed on them i took my time and did everything right wow how much money have you put into it
19:50when i started i had two dollars in my pocket i was remodeling the kitchen and i wrote the concept
19:56down on a napkin and showed a couple guys they loved it so then i got on the phone called my
20:00attorney i didn't have the money but he said you know what i'm gonna help you with it oh that's awesome
20:05and he started doing the research and i got him paid um worked my way up i probably maybe up to
20:11about a hundred thousand into it now i sold my trucks trailers everything that i had
20:15to because i believe in what i got and who i am you're a real entrepreneur yeah so people can scan
20:23the code right now on the screen and and purchase this product from a from a real guy at any stage
20:28of your life people you can come up with something and make it happen here's a guy doing it good for
20:32you congratulations getting off that stage i feel like a million dollars this is my opportunity in my
20:40moment it was a great opportunity to sit here and talk to the titans and also get their feedback
20:47and and maybe learn something from them and get some advice you know if i can get the business to
20:53where i want it it'll be my legacy and something i can leave to my children and they can continue on
20:58with something i had a dream of you know that american dream still lives this is what america was built
21:05on years of experience fourth generation in the space writes an idea on a napkin and then barters
21:12and bargains and beats his way to bringing it to market and then turns down huge licensing offers
21:21he's the first person smart enough to say go fund yourself isn't just for funding this is what i need
21:27i need exposure in order for people to buy my product because once they see it they're going to buy it
21:32and i think that speaks for itself absolutely what do you what do you think ted a good old american
21:37story i love it man contractor just you know getting his elbows greasy and just making it work
21:43like this i think this is an excellent christmas present stocking stuffer i think it's it's small
21:50enough and cool enough and probably a good price point that i think it'll sell i'm excited to see
21:55what kind of marketing he's doing he's already got tv ads going which is great i think this thing's
21:59going to sell like hot cakes and i'm sure he's just going to keep bringing these things out one after
22:02another so it's exciting i don't think you know how good twist pride is twist pride you just adjust
22:11it by twisting a little bit it doesn't overheat or anything i don't like that idea it's a cool idea
22:15i'm sure you know of the ring i think twist pride is going to be as big as the ring company to be
22:18honest so go scan that qr code don't forget to scan the qr code go scan that code go fund yourself
22:32so
22:41you
22:45you
22:47you
