# iONE — Seed Investment Memorandum

> Confidential investment memorandum prepared by G.T. GmbH (Berlin) for the Seed lead investor and the broader institutional climate-tech capital base. Documents the iONE autonomous, deployable, telemetry-equipped distributed-energy node positioned as the missing physical layer for European energy sovereignty. The platform addresses the structural failure of the 2022–2026 cell-manufacturing investment cycle (Northvolt, ACC, Britishvolt, AMTE Power) by operating at the architectural and protocol layer rather than at commodity component manufacture.

## Key facts

- Issuer: G.T. GmbH, Berlin, Germany (VAT DE365568840, tax 29/313/31449)
- Recipient: Seed lead investor (sought)
- Ask: EUR 2.5 M Seed across three milestone tranches (EUR 800K / EUR 900K / EUR 800K)
- Complementary capital tracks (in process): HTGF up to EUR 1 M, IBB Berlin
- Climate Performance: the iONE climate case is computed on a single counterfactual basis — CPP (grid-average emissions on-grid, diesel off-grid) under Project Frame's counterfactual discipline; Project Drawdown and IPCC AR6 are reference sources, not parallel scoring methods. Our own calculations, verifiable in an interactive comparator, show the category reaching the 100 Mt CO₂e per annum institutional threshold (CPP) by 2040 on a conservative, per-country basis across 57 reachable markets (PVGIS, EEA/ENTSO-E) — without inflated multipliers
- Customs classification: HS 8543 70 90 (category-creating position)
- Maturity: TRL 5-6; two operational prototypes at Berlin test site; deployment site pending
