Overview


The Future of Building Technology


Founder and CEO Chuck Ardezzone, a serial entrepreneur, started developing Galexa 3 ½ years ago after running a successful film and documentary production company (Source). Chuck is looking to get back into the real estate market and build affordable housing in Collier County, Florida. 


After learning about how the cheapest housing is made with wood, which rots, molds, and burns - he decided to look into alternative building systems.


After years of research and development, we believe Galexa created one of the first and only total composite building system


                       *Images are of demo versions. Product is still currently under development.


The next step questioned whether the marketplace would accept the new improved product? The answer was a resounding YES. To date Galexa has over 200 units on order with no marketing.


Galexa homes are currently under development and are in the production stage.

THE PROBLEM


Affordable Housing Materials Are Lacking


Traditional building materials (wood, concrete, and steel) all fail over time and are no match for Mother Nature.


All of them have drawbacks in strength, weight or longevity. We believe Galexa’s 100% composite materials are far superior to wood which rots, molds, and burns, steel which is super heavy & rusts, and concrete, cracks.


In addition most most materials used in today’s building industry take considerable time and labor to construct On Site. Since Galexa pre-engineers their wall, floor, and roof systems in the factory, we expect they save time and $ and make the process in the field much faster. A typical 1800 SF home can be erected in only a few days. 


Reasons to Invest

  • To date, Galexa has over $11 million in their pipeline consisting of over 200 units to be built.
  • Galexa is proudly disrupting the $1.7 trillion construct industry (Source).
  • We reduce on site labor costs by over 30%. In addition, our materials exceed even the toughest standards for strength and durability.
  • All Galexa structures are 250 MPH hurricane rated, rust proof, rot proof, termite proof, Class A fire rated and bulletproof, literally! 

The Market


Disrupting the Construction Industry 


Galexa is proudly disrupting the $1.7 trillion dollar construction business (Source) by building with safer stronger and more energy efficient materials.


  • Wood, which rots, burns, and attracts termites
  • Steel, which is heavy and rusts
  • Block,  which cracks and breaks



In particular, the exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) market is projected to reach $108.11 billion by 2023, through a CAGR of 12.24% (Source). We estimate that in a short time frame through targeted marketing, Galexa can secure between three to eleven percent (3-11%) of the $108 billion EIFS market, generating over $3.2 billion in dealer sales.


The Solution


Galexa Make Strong, Safe, Energy-Efficient Buildings


Galexa wall systems are constructed in our factory controlled environment and delivered on site to be installed within days instead of weeks. 



     *Images are of demo versions. Product is still currently under development.

Because our materials are up to 80% lighter than steel and can be cut with standard field equipment - we project installation labor is greatly reduced while worker safety is increased. 


This is because of our 100% composite materials. They are stronger, safer and more energy efficient than traditional materials such as concrete and wood. 



*Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development.

With our wall system, we don't believe there will be a need for rebar repair and reinforcement after years of corrosion. This can save hundreds of thousands of dollars during the building’s useful life. 


The construction industry has historically been subject to heavy labor costs and long construction time frames for on site work. Galexa wall systems will be made in our factory to the specification of the client and delivered on site ready to be installed. We estimate reducing the on-site labor costs by over 30%. In addition, our materials exceed even the toughest standards for strength and durability such as the various Florida hurricane ratings. All Galexa structures are rated 250 MPH hurricane rated and are one of the only 100% composite building systems in the Florida Building code.


Why Invest


We Believe We Have Some of the Safest Homes Available on the Market


In addition to our Florida factory, Galexa expects to have a factory to serve the Western United States and likely in Puerto Rico due to the large rebuilding effort needed in that country.

Instead of giving back the monies how about offering investors the option to keep the money in at the lower valuation. I would be fine with that. When do u plan on a re raise at the 7m valuation and will it be on start engine? Thank you

Hi. Thanks for the presentation. I was able to get an ideal of the company and the direction it is looking to go towards. As a relatively new investor with a low budget and minimum knowledge other than what’s been presented, how could it be beneficial for me to come on board and for us long-term? Thanks,GN

I do like this as traditional building costs are skyrocketing, but becoming lower quality, slower than pre-fab means, etc. I can also see a massive need in coastal regions for better building materials to withstand hurricanes, or bulletproof housing in military (instead of just concrete), The information you provided about the finances was great and you answered that. I see here that I am investing in Galexa Homes Inc, Does Galexa Homes Inc own Galexa Inc? Or have any ownership interest in Galexa Inc? If so, why are they separate entities? Or is Galexa Inc basically Defunct now and not really operating? Does Galexa Inc benefit at all if, say, Galexa Homes becomes a billion-dollar corp, or do they own any Galexa Homes assets, IP, etc? Just trying to nail down what I am investing in, etc

FAQS

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.

Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice.

StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC.

StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”) is our investor trading platform. SE Secondary is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (“ATS”) operated by SE Primary that matches orders for buyers and sellers of securities. It allows investors to trade shares purchased through Regulation A+, Regulation Crowdfunding, or Regulation D for companies who have engaged StartEngine Secure LLC as their transfer agent. The term “Rapid,” when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace, specifically refers to transactions that are facilitated on SE Secondary, This is because, unlike with trades on the StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”), trades on SE Secondary are executed the moment that they are matched.

StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”) is a bulletin board platform on which users can indicate to each other their interest to buy or sell shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings not necessarily through SE Primary. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about such private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. All investment opportunities on SE BB are based on indicated interest from sellers and will need to be confirmed. Even if parties express mutual interest to enter into a trade on SE BB, a trade will not immediately result because execution is subject to additional contingencies, including among others, effecting of the transfer of the shares from the potential seller to the potential buyer by the issuer and/or transfer agent. SE BB is distinct and separate from SE Secondary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. By contrast, under SE BB, SE Primary assists with the facilitation of a potential resulting trade off platform including, by among other things, approaching the issuer and other necessary parties in relation to the potential transaction. The term “Extended”, when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace denotes that these transactions are conducted via SE BB, and that these transactions may involve longer processing times compared to SE Secondary for the above-stated reasons.

Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on SE Marketplace, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.

It also does not constitute an endorsement, solicitation or recommendation by StartEngine. StartEngine does not (1) make any recommendations or otherwise advise on the merits or advisability of a particular investment or transaction, (2) assist in the determination of the fair value of any security or investment, or (3) provide legal, tax, or transactional advisory services.
