Investment Opportunities at Hoku

Join Us in Building the Three-Dimensional Internet

Hoku is transforming how humanity experiences digital information. We're replacing endless scrolling and linear page-viewing with immersive three-dimensional navigation—creating an entirely new category: the visual Internet.

Our patent-pending technology positions us at the convergence of multiple massive markets: web browsing, search engines, social media, artificial intelligence, information visualization, spatial computing, augmented reality, holographic displays, and even neural visualization systems. Together, these represent a $1+ trillion addressable opportunity.

Limited Series A Allocation Available for Strategic Accredited Investors

Series A Funding Round

Investment Overview

Status: Accepting expressions of interest for Series A round
Anticipated Timeline: Q4 2026 = Q1 2027
Target Raise: $25M - $45M
Investor Profile: Accredited investors with strategic value beyond capital

This funding will accelerate product development, scale user acquisition, and establish Hoku as the category leader in spatial Internet navigation before major incumbents enter the market.

Why Hoku Represents a Unique Opportunity

1. Patent-Protected Technology

Our comprehensive patent applications cover the core innovations that make spatial Internet navigation possible:

• Real-time collision-aware spatial distribution algorithms

• Unified multi-source content integration architecture

• Adaptive context display with progressive information disclosure

• Context-aware expansion strategies preserving semantic relationships

• Multi-modal rendering across 2D screens, VR, and AR devices

This intellectual property creates substantial barriers to competitive replication and provides sustainable defensibility as the market develops.

2. First-Mover Advantage in Emerging Category

We're not competing in a crowded market—we're creating a new one. Spatial computing hardware is reaching mainstream adoption (Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, upcoming AR glasses), and Hoku is positioned to become the default information interface for this ecosystem.

The window to establish category leadership exists now, before tech giants build competitive platforms.

3. Proven Product-Market Fit

• Average session duration: 23 minutes (5-7x industry average)

• Week-over-week retention: 73% among monthly active users

• 5 Trillion + data elements already visualized

• Users across 190 countries

This isn't theoretical technology—it's a working platform that users love and actively choose over traditional browsers.

4. Multiple Revenue Streams

Spatial Advertising: Premium 3D advertising packages ($25K-$500K+ per campaign) delivering 300-800% increased exposure versus traditional digital ads

Premium Subscriptions: Tiered plans from $9.99 to $49.99/month for enhanced features and ad-free experiences

Enterprise Licensing: Custom deployments for corporations, research institutions, and government agencies ($50K-$500K+ annually)

Developer Platform: API access, revenue sharing, and marketplace fees from third-party ecosystem

Strategic Data Licensing: Privacy-compliant, anonymized insights for research and market intelligence

5. Exceptional Technical Team

World-class engineers with backgrounds in game development, VR/AR platforms, and high-performance distributed systems. Prior experience shipping products to millions of users and building systems processing billions of transactions.

Combined with product design excellence and proven entrepreneurial experience.

Market Timing: Why Now?

Hardware Ecosystem Maturing: Apple, Meta, and others investing billions in spatial computing hardware. Consumer adoption accelerating rapidly.

Behavioral Shift Emerging: Users increasingly frustrated with traditional interfaces. Growing awareness that "there must be a better way."

Competitive Window Open: Large incumbents focused on hardware and general platforms. Opportunity exists to establish category leadership before competitive response.

Technology Ready: Our platform is proven, operational, and scaling. Not research-stage—ready for growth capital.

Monetization Validated: Early advertising pilots and enterprise conversations confirm market willingness to pay premium pricing for spatial advertising and enterprise deployments.

Minimum Investment: $250,000
Securities Type: Preferred equity with standard investor protections
Lock-Up Period: 36 months from investment date, with potential extension provisions at company discretion
Transfer Restrictions: Restricted securities with limited transferability; no public market exists

This is a private placement offering with no general solicitation. Investment opportunities are extended only to pre-qualified accredited investors with whom Hoku has established substantive relationships.

Understanding Lock-Up Provisions

The 36-month lock-up period reflects the long-term nature of building category-defining technology platforms. Early-stage investments require patient capital committed to multi-year value creation.

Lock-up provisions may include:

• Prohibition on sale, transfer, pledge, or hypothecation of shares during lock-up period

• Extension of lock-up period in connection with future financing rounds, at company discretion

• Exceptions for estate planning transfers, charitable donations, or transfers to affiliated entities (subject to approval and transferee agreement to same restrictions)

• Waiver provisions requiring board approval and potentially majority investor consent

Investors should expect capital to remain illiquid for minimum 36 months and potentially significantly longer. There is no guarantee of liquidity events (acquisition, public offering, secondary sales) following the lock-up period. Investment should be considered illiquid indefinitely.

Risk Disclosure

Investment in early-stage technology companies involves substantial risk and is suitable only for investors who can afford complete loss of invested capital.

Material risks include but are not limited to:

• Market Adoption Risk: Spatial navigation represents paradigm shift; mainstream adoption timeline uncertain

• Competition Risk: Large technology companies possess resources to develop competitive offerings

• Technology Risk: Scaling challenges, platform dependencies, and technical complexity

• Monetization Risk: Revenue projections dependent on successful sales execution

• Regulatory Risk: Privacy regulations, content liability, and potential antitrust considerations

• Liquidity Risk: No guarantee of future funding rounds, acquisition, or public offering

• Capital Risk: May require additional funding beyond Series A to achieve profitability

Prospective investors must review comprehensive offering materials and conduct thorough due diligence. Consultation with qualified legal, tax, and financial advisors is strongly recommended.
