§227.201(d) – The Company’s Business and Business Plan

 

Our Business

 

Kovo is a fitness app specifically designed for gamers, offering gamified fitness experiences, AI personalization, and community engagement. The app targets gamers who are interested in improving their physical fitness and those looking for a gamified fitness experience. While there are no direct competitors, some close competitors include Nerd Fitness, Zombies, Run!, PlayFitt, and Fitness RPG.

Kovo blends gaming and fitness, creating a unique and engaging experience for users. The app creates a sense of community, allowing users to connect, compete, and motivate each other. Users can create and customize avatars that reflect their fitness journey and gaming persona. The AI technology and algorithms personalize workouts and challenges based on user preferences and performance, enhancing the overall experience. However, the app does require balancing gaming and fitness elements effectively to ensure it remains engaging without becoming too complex. Balancing these aspects is crucial to maintaining user interest and achieving the desired fitness outcomes.

 

Currently, Kovo is in the MVP phase, focusing on early user feedback and adapting its offerings accordingly. The app is expected to transition from MVP to full launch within the next year, with ongoing feature enhancements based on user feedback. Plans include expanding features, increasing the user base, and exploring partnerships with gaming influencers and fitness brands. The development cost for Kovo is approximately $40,000, with the MVP developed for under $12,000. The pricing strategy includes a freemium model with premium subscriptions priced at $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year, though this is subject to change. The average annual customer value is estimated to be $18, based on industry averages.

 

Kovo has several opportunities, including the growing interest in gamified fitness, potential partnerships with gaming influencers and gyms, and the rapidly growing market. However, it also faces threats such as competition from other fitness and gaming apps and rapid changes in gaming and fitness trends.

 

Our People

 

Blaine, the founder of Kovo, recently graduated from Wake Forest University. He has a background in fitness and entrepreneurship, giving him a strong understanding of the fitness market and a passion for integrating gaming with physical fitness. His vision for Kovo is driven by his desire to create a platform that merges these two worlds seamlessly.

 

Will, the co-founder of Kovo, holds a degree in Finance from Drexel University. With years of experience in both athletics and gaming, Will brings a unique perspective to the Kovo team. His enthusiasm for the project and his expertise in finance and gaming contribute significantly to Kovo’s development and strategic direction.

§227.201(l) – Price of the Securities

 

The Company is offering “securities” in the form of Simple Agreements for Future Equity, or “SAFEs.”

 

A SAFE doesn’t really have a purchase price. If you buy a SAFE for $100 you get a $100 SAFE. The terms of the SAFEs are described below.

 

§227.201(m) – Terms of the Securities

 

Overview

 

The Company is offering “securities” in the form of Simple Agreements for Future Equity, or “SAFEs.”

 

Conversion on Future Equity Raise

 

If the Company raises at least $750,000 in the future from the sale of its stock (common or preferred), then the SAFE will convert into that same type of stock, but at a 15% discount.

 

EXAMPLE: Suppose you invest $5,000 in our SAFE. Later, we raise $1,000,000 by selling a Series A Preferred Stock at $10 per share. Your SAFE will convert to shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Your SAFE will convert at $8.50 per share. Hence, having invested $5,000, you will receive 588 shares.

 

Conversion on Sale or IPO

 

If the Company is sold or goes public, you will receive the greater of (i) the price you paid for the SAFE, or (ii) the amount you would receive if your SAFE had been converted to common stock at the fair market value of the common stock as implied by the sale, but again reduced by your discount.

 

EXAMPLE: Suppose you invest $5,000 in our SAFE. Later, before we have raised at least $1,000,000 of additional capital, the Company is sold for a price that implies that the fair market value of our common stock is $15 per share. If your SAFE converted to common stock at your discount, you would receive 392 shares. Therefore, you will receive in the sale the greater of $5,000 or the amount payable with respect to 392 shares of common stock.

 

Liquidation

 

If the Company liquidates before it raises at least $750,000 of capital or is sold, you will have the right to receive the amount you paid for your SAFE, without interest. However, your right to payment will be (i) subordinate to (behind) the rights of the Company’s creditors, and (ii) on a par with others who hold SAFEs or preferred stock.

 

Voting and Shareholder Rights

 

The SAFE does not give you any voting rights in the Company or other rights as a shareholder. However, if the Company pays a dividend, you will have the right to share in the dividend.

 

Limits on Transfer

 

Your SAFE may not be transferred without the Company’s consent.

 

11

 

 

Modification of SAFEs

 

The SAFEs may be modified by the Company and holders of 50% of the SAFEs outstanding, measured by investment amount. Thus, your SAFE may be modified without your consent.

 

Who Controls the Company

 

Blaine Boyden is the primary person in control of the company. He maintains over 20% voting power and handles all decisions in the company.

 

How the Exercise of Rights by Controlling Persons Could Affect You

 

The individuals who control the Company could take many actions that would affect the holders of the SAFEs, including these:

 

They could make bad decisions, harming the Company.

 

They could devote less time to the Company than it requires.

 

They could issue securities with rights superior to those of the SAFEs.

 

They could pay themselves excessive compensation.

 

They could hire friends or relatives and pay them more than they’re worth.

 

They could enter into leases, loans, and other contracts with the Company on terms that are not fair to the Company.

 

They could sell the Company too soon, before it has achieved its full potential, or too late, after the best opportunities have passed.

 

Obligation to Contribute Capital

 

Once you pay for your SAFE you will have no obligation to contribute more money to the Company, and you will not be personally obligated for any debts of the Company. However, under some circumstances you could be required by law to return some or all of a distribution you receive from the Company.

 

Preemptive Rights

 

Owners of SAFEs to not have preemptive rights, i.e., the right to buy securities issued by the Company in the future.

 

Risks Associated with Minority Ownership

 

Owning a minority interest in a Company comes with risks, including these:

 

The risk that the person running the Company will do a bad job.

 

The risk that the person running the Company will die, become ill, or just quit, leaving the Company in limbo.

 

The risk that your interests and the interests of the person running the Company aren’t really aligned.

 

12

 

 

The risk that you will be “stuck” in the Company forever.

 

The risks that the actions taken by the person running the Company – including those listed above under “How the Exercise of Rights by Controlling Persons Could Affect You” – won’t be to your liking or in your interest.

 

Other Classes of Securities

 

Immediately before the offering of SAFEs, the Company had the following securities outstanding:

 

Type Number or Amount Characteristics (Voting Rights, Etc.)
LLC Interests 100% Voting Rights
     

 

§227.201(n) – The Funding Portal

 

The Company is offering its securities through Loupt Portal LLC, which is a “Funding Portal” licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and FINRA. The SEC File number is 7-446 and the Funding Portal Registration Depository (FPRD) number is 328217.

 

§227.201(o) – Compensation of the Funding Portal

 

The Company will compensate Loupt Portal LLC as follows:

 

An administrative fee of $0.00 plus

 

A success fee equal to 6.00% of the amount raised.

 

Loupt Portal LLC owns no interest in the Company, directly or indirectly, and will not acquire an interest as part of the Offering [(except for the compensation described above)], nor is there any arrangement for Loupt Portal LLC to acquire an interest.

 

13

 

 

§227.201(p) – Indebtedness of the Company

 

The company has no material indebtedness.

 

§227.201(q) – Other Offerings of Securities within the Last Three Years

 

The company has no other offerings of securities within the last three years.

 

§227.201(r) – Transactions Between the Company and “Insiders”

 

The company has no transactions between the Company and “Insiders”.

 

14

 

 

§227.201(s) – The Company’s Financial Condition

 

Liquidity

 

Given the recent formation of the LLC and the lack of significant financial activities, the company’s liquidity is minimal. The company is currently reliant on initial capital contributions and potential future investments to meet its operational needs.

 

Capital Resources

 

The LLC’s capital resources are currently limited to the initial contributions from its founders. The company is actively seeking additional capital through the current offering to finance its operational activities and growth plans.

 

Historical Results of Operations

 

As the LLC was formed two months ago, there are no historical results of operations to report at this time. Future reports will include operational results as they become available.

 

Changes and Trends

 

Due to the LLC’s recent formation, there have been no significant changes or trends that could impact the business. The company is focused on establishing its operations and securing initial funding.

 

§227.201(t) – The Company’s Financial Statements

 

Our financial statements are attached as Exhibit D: Financial Statements

 

§227.201(u) – Disqualification Events

 

Explanation for Investors

 

A Company is not allowed to raise money using Regulation Crowdfunding if certain designated people associated with the Company (including its directors or executive officers) committed certain prohibited acts (mainly concerned with violations of the securities laws) on or after May 16, 2016. (You can read more about those rules in the Educational Materials posted on investloupt.com). This item requires a Company to disclose whether any of those designated people committed any of those prohibited acts before May 16, 2016.

 

A Company called North Capital ran background checks on the principals of the Company (i.e., those covered by this rule). You can see the North Capital reports attached as Exhibit E: Background Checks. The company has also engaged North Capital Private Securities Corporation as the Escrow Facilitator for the offering.

 

For the Company, the answer is No, none of the designated people committed any of the prohibited acts, ever.

 

15

 

 

§227.201(v) – Updates on the Progress of the Offering

 

You can track our progress in raising money for the offering on the Platform.

 

227.201(w) – Annual Reports for the Company

 

We will file a report with the Securities and Exchange Commission annually and post the report on our website at www.investloupt.com no later than 120 days after the end of each fiscal year.

 

It’s possible that at some point, the Company won’t be required to file anymore annual reports. We will notify you if that happens.

 

§227.201(x) – Our Compliance with Reporting Obligations

 

The Company has never raised money using Regulation Crowdfunding before, and therefore has never been required to file any reports.
