Company Description

Founded in February 2020, IPD Products has designed an air sterilization product – the Ionic Plague Destroyer – that is engineered to remove pathogens from the air and create healthy, safe, and clean indoor environments. While the company was formed less than six months ago, it has secured a licensing agreement for a patent that covers methods for air disinfection and sterilization.

Looking ahead, IPD Products hopes its product will serve as an important tool to help combat transmission of the novel coronavirus indoors. The company is raising its first round of capital to ramp up manufacturing and production in anticipation of a launch in Q4.

Perks

Investors that purchase the first 350,000 Crowd Notes, and thereby fund the first $350,000, will receive Crowd Notes with a conversion provision based on a $3.5 million valuation cap instead of a $5 million valuation cap. That means, in connection with equity financing of at least $1 million, the company has the option to convert the Crowd Note into non-voting preferred shares (Conversion Shares) at a price based on the lower of (A) a 20% discount to the price per share paid for Preferred Shares by investors in the Qualified Equity Financing or (B) the price per share based on a $3.5 million valuation cap (instead of $5 million).

Valuation

Security Description

A Crowd Note modifies the typical convertible note so that the crowd does not automatically convert to equity shareholders on the next financing and remain off the issuer’s capitalization table, but the crowd will still participate in any exit as if they had converted to equity. If there is no future financing, the holders of the Crowd Note still have upside, but could miss out significantly.
