NOW... THE EASY PART
To date, there have been 5,000+ individual investors from 188 different countries. These angels have endured the difficult part that's been our years of an ever-evolving path. That said, I'm pleased to announce we have accomplished our goal.

November 2023: We were granted a provisional patent on TED ("RHINOFriend")
January 2024: Our Non-Provisional Patent became Pending.

Jan 19th:
"Mr. Calascione, if you even get a majority of your claims granted, $100m is your floor."

We can see the finish line,
