Engineered as a fleet, not a unit: each deployed iONE node sharpens a self-learning fleet that anticipates failure across the base and compounds, climate by climate, into a proprietary degradation dataset no competitor holds.
iONE is a new product category the European stack lacks: the autonomous deployable energy node, the missing physical layer beneath the orchestration software.
What we propose. iONE is the solar power station the European grid is missing — PV, storage and smart control in one rugged, foundation-free unit that lands on a critical site in hours and runs it autonomously, in place of the diesel generator. We are raising EUR 2.5M Seed at EUR 15M pre-money — inviting the Seed lead investor to lead (≈14%, board seat, milestone tranches) — to take it from prototype, through field validation in six climate zones, to first commercial deployment.
The iONE platform, developed by G.T. GmbH (Berlin), is an autonomous, deployable, telemetry-equipped distributed energy node engineered to constitute that layer within the European energy-resilience infrastructure stack. The platform operates at the architectural and protocol layer where European energy sovereignty is structurally won, foregoing the cell-manufacturing layer that the preceding four years of European battery-infrastructure investment have demonstrated to be the wrong layer.
The European energy market in 2026 is a market in which the orchestration software has matured — gridX-into-E.ON, Octopus Kraken, 1KOMMA5°, Tibber, Next Kraftwerke — while the physical-asset layer beneath it has remained structurally inadequate to the operational envelope the market now requires. The EPEX SPOT wholesale market clears at fifteen-minute resolution; recurring negative-price hours and the Dunkelflaute stress envelope of 25 November 2025 (documented in Chapter II §4) record the operational inadequacy of the existing distributed-asset base under the European winter regime. The Critical Entities Resilience Directive imposes autonomous-power capability on eleven sectors of designated critical entities; the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (ESRS E1) prohibits the diesel category from continuing to constitute the low-cost answer. The architectural gap is documented; the regulatory window is open.
The iONE platform addresses this gap through a three-layer architecture engineered for the operational requirements documented above. The physical layer is a structurally rigid, dual-axis-tracked, foundation-free deployable envelope with twenty-five-year design life and asymmetric thermal-and-mechanical engineering optimised for the European latitude profile. The internal control layer is iONEOS, the deterministic-and-probabilistic intelligence system through which the platform builds toward its prospective data moat. The external orchestration layer is the European protocol surface — EEBus, Modbus TCP, OCPP, SG Ready — through which the deployed node participates in the European distributed-energy market under the operator's elected platform. The architectural choice is independence by design, compatibility by standard; the platform survives any one geopolitical configuration of the upstream cell supply chain through trilateral sourcing across Civil, Assured European, and emerging Gulf-and-Eastern-Mediterranean cell-manufacturing tracks.
The institutional case rests on four passages, set out in operational detail across the chapters that follow:
- Climate. Our own calculations, which you can verify in the live calculator, show the category reaching the 100 Mt CO2e/yr CPP threshold by 2040 — on a conservative, 57-country basis, without inflated multipliers (Chapter V).
- Economics. Three independent revenue layers — hardware margin at the two-times all-in mark-up, the iONEOS subscription across every deployed unit (GT-built and licensee-built at parity), and grid-flexibility revenue — under capital-light contract-manufacturing, not the gigafactory-construction model that failed across the preceding cycle (Chapter VI).
- Risk. Four structural diversifications: multi-channel distribution via the GT Energy Family framework, multi-segment exposure across four independent end-markets, trilateral cell supply, and founder-led independent component validation (Chapter VII).
- Commitment. Over EUR 374,000 in formally capitalised founder shareholder loans, with further operational expense carried personally.
The platform extends to the Seed lead investor the formal request to anchor the Seed round at EUR 2.5 million at a EUR 15 million pre-money valuation — a priced equity round, approximately 14% dilution (EUR 17.5 million post-money), with the lead investor taking a board seat at close and each tranche released against documented milestones certified by the board — deployed across three milestone tranches (EUR 800,000 at close for certification and Validation Programme launch; EUR 900,000 against documented first-tranche delivery for supply-chain governance and senior hires; EUR 800,000 against second-tranche operational metrics for series-ready scaling), complemented by the HTGF and IBB Berlin engagements both in active conversation. The aggregate institutional capital structure delivers the platform through certification, Validation Programme launch, and commercial validation under documented operational governance. The remaining nine chapters of this memorandum document, in operational detail, the substrate on which the request is constructed.
