  • Gaurav Choudhary, Market Research Lead: Collaborator and husband of the founder, responsible for market research and viability assessments to guide product strategy.

  • Advisors/Board: None formalized yet; plans to add industry mentors from AI/hardware sectors.

Governance and Decision-Making

Decisions are founder-driven for speed, with input from external experts as needed.

  • Governance Overview: Adheres to LLC operating agreement; major decisions (e.g., funding, pivots) require founder approval.

  • Ethical Guidelines: Committed to responsible AI—e.g., Aegis tech prioritizes user privacy with no unnecessary data collection. Compliant with emerging AI regulations.

  • Conflict Resolution: Handled via mediation or arbitration per California LLC laws.

Financial and Operational Structure

We focus on sustainable growth through innovative revenue streams.

  • Revenue Model: Planned preorder sales of Aegis smart coasters to luxury venues and consumers (preorders not yet launched; no B2B sales to date); future B2B partnerships and AI software subscriptions. Projections: Produce 1000 coasters by mid-Q3 2026 to begin sales. Without B2B, sell 50-100 four-packs per year for $50-75k revenue. With B2B (expected to be significant), revenue could double to $100-150k. Cost per coaster: ~$75 before shipping, $100 after. Retail price: $250 individual, yielding high profit margins.

  • Financial Health: Bootstrapped to date with personal investment from the founder; projecting break-even by Q4 2026 via initial sales.

  • Operations Overview: Hardware prototyping in-house; manufacturing partners for scaling, with multiple supply chain partners in China for coaster materials.

Risk Management and Compliance

We proactively address challenges in the AI/hardware space.

  • Key Risks & Mitigations:

    • AI Vision Challenges: Mitigated via outsourced engineering expertise and iterative prototyping.

    • R&D Delays: Addressed through agile development and partner collaborations.

    • Market Competition: Protected by patents pending; focus on niche luxury entry.

    • Regulatory: Compliant with FCC for hardware and CCPA for data; monitoring AI ethics laws, including standard certifications for AI privacy as hurdles to overcome.

  • Compliance Certifications: Pending GDPR alignment for international sales; standard AI privacy certifications in progress.

  • Insurance: Coverage for product liability and cyber risks.
