The market for mutant creation is substantial and rapidly growing. As fictional franchises like X-Men and movies like Spiderman demonstrate, there is tremendous public fascination with superhumans and their extraordinary abilities. Surveys indicate that over 80% of people would be interested in obtaining mutant powers if given the opportunity. While no true competing companies exist yet, the market is ripe for disruption. The potential applications for real-world mutants span numerous multi-billion dollar industries including defense, intelligence, sports, entertainment, and more. There is sizable pent-up demand from governments, private security firms, professional sports leagues, and others who would pay top dollar for mutants providing competitive advantages. Our proprietary mutant creation process is patented and places us years ahead of any potential future competitors. By moving quickly to establish ourselves as the premier source of real mutants, we can capture significant first-mover advantages and brand equity. As the only proven method for developing superhuman abilities, we expect to enjoy a monopoly on this breakthrough technology for the foreseeable future. Overall, the market potential for mutants is vast. As the first and only company capable of creating real mutants, we are positioned to tap into surging demand across sectors generating billions in revenue. Our patented process and head start ensures we will dominate the market before any potential competitors can catch up. The opportunities for monetization are immense. Funding Needs Mutants Investment requires substantial capital investment in order to establish the facilities and infrastructure necessary to develop and produce new mutants. We estimate our funding needs as follows: Lab Spaces Main research lab: $2 million for equipment and buildout Secondary labs: $500,000 each for 2 locations, used for testing and analysis Total: $3 million Equipment DNA sequencing machines: $500,000 CRISPR gene editing systems: $250,000 Computing systems: $200,000 Lab supplies and materials: $500,000/year Total: $1.45 million initial, $500,000/year ongoing Salaries Research scientists: $150,000 each x 10 = $1.5 million/year Lab technicians: $60,000 each x 6 = $360,000/year Total salaries: $1.86 million/year Other Facility maintenance, utilities, etc: $300,000/year Legal and regulatory expenses: $200,000 initial, $100,000/year ongoing Total Funding Needed Initial investment: $6 million Ongoing expenses: $3 million/year We require an initial investment of $6 million to establish our lab facilities, acquire equipment, and hire our initial team.
