______
The following is only a brief summary of the risks involved in investing in our Company. Investment in our Securities involves risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to other information contained in this Disclosure Document. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Some statements in this Document, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute “Forward-Looking Opinions.”
Limited Operating History
The Company has a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of its business and prospects. The Company is subject to all the risks inherent in a small company seeking to develop, market and distribute new services, particularly companies in evolving markets such as the Internet. The likelihood of the Company's success must be considered, in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the development, introduction, marketing and distribution of new products and services in a competitive environment.
Such risks for the Company include, but are not limited to, dependence on the success and acceptance of the Company's services, the ability to attract and retain a suitable client base, and the management of growth. To address these risks, the Company must, among other things, generate increased demand, attract a sufficient clientele base, respond to competitive developments, increase the “CrowdCaster” brand name visibility, successfully introduce new services, attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel and upgrade and enhance the Company's technologies to accommodate expanded service offerings. In view of the rapidly evolving nature of the Company's business and its limited operating history, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its operating results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
Prospective investors must undertake their own due diligence.
Prospective investors are being provided with limited information regarding our company, our current and future business and operations, our management, and our financial condition. While we believe the information contained in this Offering Memorandum, including its exhibits, is accurate, such documents are not meant to contain an exhaustive discussion regarding the company. We cannot say with any certainty prospective investor that the abbreviated nature of this Offering Memorandum will not omit to state a material fact which a prospective investor may believe to be an important factor in determining if an investment in the Shares is appropriate for such investor. As a result, prospective investors are required to undertake their own due diligence of the company, our current and proposed business and operations, our management, and our financial condition to verify the accuracy and completeness of the information we are providing in this Offering Memorandum. This investment requires investors to conduct thorough due diligence and consider their own investment objectives, financial situation, and risk tolerance. Investors should seek advice from their financial advisor or other qualified professionals to assess whether this investment aligns with their investment goals and risk profile.
We are not dependent upon any proceeds of this offering to provide to develop our business. Because this is a best effort offering there are no assurances., We do not intend to raise any capital to develop our business.
We depend on the cash investments acquired from this offering to fuel the growth and advancement of our business within our network marketing framework. Should we sell less than all of the offered Shares, it will severely restrict the capital available to us for expanding our platform and harnessing the potential of our network marketing model, potentially hindering our ability to meet our growth objectives.
This offering operates on a best-efforts basis with no minimum requirement, and there are no assurances that we will sell all or any portion of the offered Shares. Even if we manage to sell all of the offered Shares, we cannot say with any certainty any significant revenues or sustained profitability in the future, nor can we guarantee immunity from potential revenue declines.
As a company in the development stage, we face challenges in expanding our platform and leveraging the potential of our crowdsourcing network due to the lack of a public market for our securities. We do not have any firm commitments for additional Utilizing the resources within our network marketing framework may present challenges in acquiring the necessary investment funds on favorable terms. Should we encounter difficulties in securing the required capital within our network, our capacity to expand our platform and meet our growth targets could be compromised. This situation could potentially jeopardize our continuity as a viable entity, putting investors at risk of losing their entire investment in our company.
6
Need for Additional Capital
The Company has limited revenue-producing operations and will require the information from this offering to execute its full business plan. The Company believes the information from this offer will be sufficient to develop its initial plans. However, the Company can give no assurance that all, or even a significant portion of these shares will be sold or that the information collected will be sufficient to execute the entire business plan of the Company. Further, no assurance can be given if additional information is needed as to how much additional information will be required or that additional information can be obtained, or if obtainable, that the terms will be satisfactory to the Company, or that such endeavor would not result in a substantial dilution of shareholder's interest.
Competition
The Affiliate Network Marketing business is highly competitive, and the Company competes with many different types of companies that offer some form of products and services. Certain of these competitors may have greater industry experience or financial and other resources than the Company.
Growth Strategy Implementation: Ability to Manage Growth
The Company anticipates that significant expansion will be required to address potential growth in its customer base and market opportunities through its Crowdcaster app. The Company's expansion is expected to place a significant strain on the Company's management, operational, and financial resources. To manage any material growth of its operations and personnel, the Company may be required to improve existing operational and financial systems, procedures, and controls and to expand, train, and manage its employee base. There can be no assurance that the Company's planned personnel, systems, procedures, and controls will be adequate to support the Company's future operations, that management will be able to hire, train, retain, motivate, and manage required personnel, or that the Company's management will be able to successfully identify, manage, and exploit existing and potential market opportunities through Crowdcaster. If the Company is unable to manage growth effectively, its business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
Dependence upon Management and Key Personnel
The Company is and will be heavily dependent on the skill, acumen, and services of the management of the Company. The loss of the services of these key individuals, and certain others, for any substantial length of time, would materially and adversely affect the Company's results of operation and financial position. (See "Management").
Possible Inability to Find Suitable Employees
The Company's success depends significantly on its ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, including retaining the services of full-time employees, part-time employees, and managers to assist the Company in the conduct and management of the Company's business. Competition for such personnel is intense. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to find these suitable employees or personnel, or if found, that these employees or personnel can be hired on terms favorable to the Company.
There is no public market for our shares.
There is no public market for the Shares, and there are no assurances a public market will ever be established. Accordingly, an investment in the Shares should be considered illiquid.
Arbitrary Offering Price
The offering price of the common shares offered hereunder has been arbitrarily determined by the Company and bears no relationship to any objective criterion of value. The price does not bear any relationship to the assets, book value, historical earnings, or net worth of the Company. In determining the offering price, the Company considered such factors as the prospects, if any, for similar companies, the previous experience of management, the Company's anticipated results of operations, the present financial resources of the Company and the likelihood of acceptance of this offering. Please review any financial or other information contained in this Offering Circular with qualified people to determine its suitability as an investment before purchasing any shares in this offering.
We may experience significant losses from operations.
Even if we do generate operating income in one or more quarters in the future, subsequent developments in our industry, customer base, business or cost structure or an event such as significant litigation or a significant transaction may cause us to again experience operating losses. We may not become profitable in the long term, or even for any.
7
Limited Market for Securities
The Company's securities are not currently quoted on any recognized stock exchange or trading platform. Therefore, there is currently no market for the Company's Class A Non-Voting Common Stock is limited. There can be no assurance that a meaningful trading market will develop.
Dividend Policy
To date, the Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its stock and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends, if any, in the future will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.
Control by Existing Management
Under the terms of the Company's Articles of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of California, each common shareholder is entitled to no votes on any matters presented to stockholders of the Company. As of the date of this offering memorandum, none of the officers or directors of the Company hold any outstanding common shares.
Given the maximum number of common shares offered hereunder may be sold, of which there is no assurance, the present officers and directors of the Company are not expected to own any significant portion of the issued and outstanding common shares. As a result, purchasers of the common shares will not have a limited voice in the Company's management, and the voting control of the Company will not be retained by the current management. (See "Principal Shareholders" and "Description of Securities").
No Commitment to Purchase; Best Efforts Offering
The offering of these securities is being done on a "best efforts" basis. However, there is no assurance that all, or any, of the shares offered hereby will be sold. No individual firm or corporation has agreed to purchase any of the shares offered herein. The shares are being offered on a best-efforts basis.
The Company is Entirely Dependent on its Internet Content for Digital Broadcast for use by Televisions, Computers and Mobile Devices, and the Company's Future Revenue Depends on Its Commercial Success
The Company's future development and growth depends on the commercial success of the Company's Affiliate Marketing Network. The Company's Affiliate Marketing Network, or other services under development, may not achieve widespread market acceptance. The Company has recently begun to commercially introduce its service for the delivery of digital video (with audio), and the Company's future growth will depend, in part, on customer acceptance of this service. Failure of the Company's current and planned services to operate as expected could delay or prevent their adoption. If the Company's targeted customers do not purchase and successfully deploy the Company's planned services, the Company's revenue will not grow significantly the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition will be seriously harmed. In addition, to the extent that the Company promotes any portion of its streaming technology as an industry standard by making it readily available to users for little or no charge, the Company may not receive revenue that might otherwise have been received by the Company.
The Internet Content Delivery Market for Affiliate Marketing Network, Computer and Mobile Devices is Relatively New, and the Company's Business will Suffer if it Does Not Continue to Develop as the Company Expects
The market for Internet content delivery services to televisions, computers and mobile devices is relatively new. The Company cannot be certain that a viable market for the Company's Broadcast technology service will emerge or be sustainable. If this market does not develop or develops more slowly than the Company expects, the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition will be seriously harmed.
8
ANY FAILURE OF THE COMPANY'S INTERNET BROADCAST NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE COULD LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT COSTS AND DISRUPTIONS WHICH COULD REDUCE THE COMPANY'S REVENUE AND HARM THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS, FINANCIAL RESULTS, AND REPUTATION.
The Company's business is dependent on providing its customers with fast, efficient and reliable Internet Broadcasted content. To meet these customer requirements, the Company must protect its network infrastructure against damage from:
•Human Error.
•Physical and Electronic Security Breaches.
•Fire, Earthquake, Flood, and other Natural Disasters.
•Power Loss.
•Sabotage and Vandalism; and
•Similar Events.
Information gathered by this offering are applied to General Corporate Purposes - Management Discretion
Although a majority portion of the net proceeds of this Offering Circular is for specific uses, the balance will be available for working capital and general corporate purposes. Therefore, the application of the net proceeds of this offering is substantially within the discretion of the management. Investors will be relying on the Company's management and business judgment based solely on limited information. No assurance can be given that the application of the net proceeds of this Offering Circular will result in the Company achieving its financial and strategic objectives.
Our management has full discretion as to the use of considerations from this offering.
We presently anticipate that there will be proceeds from this offering used for the purposes set forth under “Use of Considerations” appearing elsewhere in this Offering Memorandum. We reserve the right, however, to use the funds from this offering for other purposes not presently contemplated which we deem to be in our best interests in order to address changed circumstances and opportunities. As a result of the foregoing, purchasers of the Shares offered hereby will be entrusting their funds to our management, upon whose judgment and discretion the investors must depend, with only limited information concerning management’s specific intentions.
Risks Relating to Our Business
Our lack of business diversification could lead to a loss of all or part of your investment if we are unable to generate revenues from our primary services.
THE MARKETS IN WHICH THE COMPANY OPERATES ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND THE COMPAN Y MAY BE UNABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY AGAINST NEW ENTRANTS AND ESTABLISHED COMPANIES WITH GREATER RESOURCES.
The Company competes in markets that are new, intensely competitive, highly fragmented, and rapidly changing. Many of the Company's current competitors, as well as a few of the Company's potential competitors, have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company does. Some of the Company's current or potential competitors have the financial resources to withstand substantial price competition. Moreover, many of the Company's competitors have more extensive customer bases, broader customer relationships and broader industry alliances that they could use to their advantage in competitive situations, including relationships with many of the Company's potential customers. The Company's competitors may be able to respond more quickly than the Company can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements.
As competition in the Internet content delivery market continues to intensify, new solutions will come to market. The Company is aware that other companies will in the future focus significant resources on developing and marketing digital broadcast products and services that will compete with the Company's products and services.

Increased competition could result in:
•Price and Revenue Reductions and Lower Profit Margins.
•Increased Cost of Service from Telecommunications Providers.
•Loss of Customers; and
•Loss of Market Share
Anyone of these could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The Company's Business will suffer if the Business is Not Able to Scale Its Network as Demand Increases
The Company has had only limited deployment of its Affiliate Marketing Network services to date, and the Company cannot be certain that its network can connect and manage a substantially larger number of customers. The Company's network may not be scalable to expected customer levels while maintaining superior performance. In addition, as customers' usage of bandwidth increases, the Company will need to make additional investments in its infrastructure to maintain adequate downstream data transmission speeds. The Company cannot assure you that it will be able to make these investments successfully or at an acceptable cost. Upgrading the Company's infrastructure may cause delays or failures in the Affiliate Marketing network. As a result, in the future, the Company's network may be unable to achieve or maintain capacity. The Company's failure to achieve or maintain high-capacity data transmission could significantly reduce demand for the Company's service, reducing the Company's revenue and causing the Company's business and financial results to suffer.
The Company's Business may suffer if the Company Does Not Respond to Technological Changes
The market for Internet content delivery services is likely to be characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product and service introductions and changes in customer requirements. The Company may be unable to respond quickly or effectively to these developments. If competitors introduce products, services or technologies that are better than that of the Company, or that gain greater market acceptance, or if new industry standards emerge, our Internet-based broadcast technology may become obsolete, which would materially and adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.
In developing the Company's Internet-based broadcast service, the Company has made and will continue to make assumptions about the standards that the Company's customers and competitors may adopt. If the standards adopted are different from those which the Company may now or in the future promote or support, market acceptance of the Company's service may be significantly reduced or delayed, and the Company's business will be seriously harmed. In addition, the introduction of services or products incorporating new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards could render the Company's existing services obsolete.
We may require additional capital that may not be available in the future.
If we cannot achieve sufficient cash flows from operation, we will require additional financing. We do not know if additional financing will be available to us on terms that we find acceptable. If financing is not available, we may have to sell, suspend, or terminate our operations.
If the Company Fails to Promote and Maintain Its Brand in the Market, the Company's Business, Operating Results, Financial Condition, and Its Ability to Attract Customers will be Materially adversely Affected
The Company's success depends on the Company's ability to create and maintain brand awareness for its Affiliate Marketing Network This may require a significant amount of capital to allow the Company to market the Company's Affiliate Marketing Network and services and to establish brand recognition and customer loyalty. Many of the Company's competitors in this market are larger than the Company and have substantially greater financial resources than those of the Company. Additionally, many of the companies offering similar products have already established their brand identity within the marketplace. The Company can offer no assurances that it will be successful in establishing awareness of the Company's brand, allowing the Company to compete in this market. The importance of brand recognition will continue to increase because of low barriers of entry to the industries in which the Company operates and may result in an increased number of direct competitors. To promote the Company's brands, the Company may be required to continue to increase its financial commitment to creating and maintaining brand awareness. The Company may not generate a corresponding increase in revenue to justify these costs.

Our integrity and accountability standards may negatively affect our bottom-line results
A core tenet of our business model is to advance diversity and inclusion. We will seek to balance purpose and profit, considering the impact of our decisions on our employees, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment, and becoming part of a community of leaders that uses business as a force for good. However, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in implementing this strategy or in reaching this status. We believe that more and more companies are signing on to similar underlying operating principles. However, there is no evidence at this time that investors will derive any direct benefits from our status.” In our pursuit of protecting the environment and our communities, contributing to a world with less inequality and poverty, better health, greater human
11
connections and more jobs with purpose and dignity, we may make decisions that may be incrementally more expensive to implement, and that may make it difficult for investors to compare us with our competitors that are pursuing bottom-line-only business strategies.
We are not an investment company, and we will not divert our attention to a costly host of complex regulations that would divert attention from the conduct of our business, which could materially and adversely affect us.
If we fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then we will need to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the anticipated levels of our operations.
Even if this Offering is successful, the need to enroll more equity investors will not be If planned operating levels are changed, more time would be needed to implement that plan, but no additional cash may be required to execute our business plan. If we are unable to obtain the necessary number of investors in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we may be forced to curtail our plans and significantly delay, scale back or discontinue our operations. If we enroll enough equity investor through the issuance of additional equity it could result in dilution to our existing investors or fixed payment obligations that could reduce our ability to continue operations. Furthermore, these securities may have rights senior to your Shares and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations and potentially impair our competitiveness, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt. Any of these events could significantly harm our business, financial condition and prospects. There is no minimum offering amount for this Offering, and therefore no guarantee that we will be able to make meaningful strides of growth from the number of equity investors in our program.
Our business may be adversely affected by competitive market conditions, and we may not be able to adapt our business strategy to a changing economy during a global pandemic.
We face competition with other affiliate marketing networks. Companies may give more time and attention to other potential retailers which are better or better known or have a longer operational history than us. There are no assurances that any of the possible transactions under review by us will be concluded successfully. Even if we are successful in making the competition may compel us to pay prices that are higher than what would otherwise be the case. Success of our business strategy will also depend on our ability to anticipate and keep up with technological developments in the digital world and the changing economy. If we are unable to implement our strategy successfully or properly react to changes in market conditions, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the concurrent economic slowdown may have an unexpected effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and governmental authorities around the world have implemented measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. These measures have adversely affected workforces, customers, supply chains, consumer sentiment, economies, and financial markets, and, along with decreased consumer spending, have led to an economic downturn across many global economies.
The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly escalated in the United States, creating significant uncertainty and economic disruption, and leading to record levels of unemployment nationally. Numerous state and local jurisdictions have imposed, and others in the future may impose, shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, shut-downs of non-essential businesses, and similar government orders and restrictions on their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Such orders or restrictions have resulted in temporary facility closures, work Crowdcaster ages, slowdowns, and travel restrictions, among other effects, thereby adversely impacting our operations. In addition, we expect to be affected by a downturn in the U.S. economy, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to make acquisitions and may have a significant impact on our business operations and financial results.
The extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain the COVID-19 outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Additionally, the extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts our operations will depend on a number of factors, many of which will be outside of our control. The COVID-19 outbreak is evolving, and new information emerges daily; accordingly, the ultimate consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak cannot be predicted with certainty.
Risks Relating to Our Management
Our executive officers may significantly influence matters to be voted on and their interests may differ from, or be averse to, the interests of our Investors.
The Company’s executive officers controlled less than 14.9% of our outstanding Class A Non-Voting Common Stock prior to this Offering. Accordingly, the Company’s executive officers possess significant influence over the Company on matters submitted to the stockholders for approval, including the election of directors, mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets,
12
and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. This amount of control gives them substantial ability to determine the future of our Company, and as such, they may elect to close the business, change the business plan or make any number of other major business decisions without the approval of ,Investors. The interest of our majority stockholder may differ from the interests of our ,Investors and could therefore result in decisions that are averse to ,Investors.
Our Approach to Generating Revenue
We're excited to share with you the core of how we plan to generate revenue. Our focus is on a strategy called Affiliate Marketing, which we believe holds great potential for our company. This method involves teaming up with other businesses to introduce their products or services to our network of investors and customers. When someone in our network makes a purchase using our recommendation, we have the chance to earn a commission – a portion of the sale – which contributes to the money we bring in.
Companies in the Obsidian Prime Pre IPO gram will not participate at all in the affiliate marketing program.
It's important to be upfront with you about where we stand right now. As of this moment, we haven't started earning revenue through this strategy. We're in the early stages of putting this plan into action, building relationships, and setting the groundwork for success.
Now, let's talk real numbers. While we're enthusiastic about Affiliate Marketing, we can't predict exactly how much income it will bring in. There's a certain level of uncertainty because we're venturing into new territory. We want to be honest with you about the possibilities, even the unpredictable ones.
We respect your choices as investors. You have the option to decide if you'd like to hear from us or not. But we want to share a potential risk with you. If a significant number of investors choose not to receive updates from us, it could impact on our ability to earn money through Affiliate Marketing. We want you to know that these choices matter and could influence our revenue.
In a nutshell, Affiliate Marketing is a significant part of our plan to grow. While we're excited about the journey ahead, we're also aware of the challenges. We're fully committed to being transparent with you, our valued investors, as we navigate this path.
If we lose the services of our key personnel or are unable to attract qualified staff, our business could be adversely affected.
Our future success is substantially dependent upon the performance, contributions, and expertise of our senior management team. In addition, we are depending on our ability to attract and retain qualified management and operating staff. The departure of any of the members of senior management or any other key executive and the decline in our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are dependent on certain key personnel and the loss of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our success is, to a certain extent, could be attributable to the management, sales and marketing, and operational expertise of key personnel, that we currently have and may hire and will perform key functions in the operation of our business. The loss of one or more of these key employees could have a material adverse effect upon our business, that could result in our financial condition, and the results of operations to be adversely impacted.
We face increasing competition from other established companies, small enterprises, and other organizations that have far greater resources and brand awareness than we have.

Our financials have been independently audited.
Our financials did undergo an independent audit to ensure accuracy and transparency. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of financial reporting to provide stakeholders with reliable and trustworthy information about our company's performance. Through rigorous auditing processes, we strive to identify and address any potential errors or omissions in our financial statements, adhering to industry best practices and regulatory requirements. Our goal is to maintain the integrity of our financial reporting and instill confidence in our stakeholders regarding the financial health and stability of our company.
Our management has limited experience operating a public company and are subject to the risks commonly encountered by early-stage companies.
As a new startup, our management team brings valuable experience in operating small companies, although we acknowledge that managing expansion as a public company presents unique challenges that we are prepared to navigate. While our current management may not have overseen a company with large-scale growth, we are committed to learning and adapting to meet the demands of our evolving market.
Given our limited operating history, we recognize the inherent risks and uncertainties that come with being an early-stage company in a rapidly changing market. These risks include ensuring we have sufficient capital to execute our growth strategy, developing our product and service offerings to meet customer demands profitably, and ensuring the success of our growth strategy amid market fluctuations.
We are dedicated to addressing these risks proactively and are focused on laying a solid foundation for sustainable growth. By mitigating these risks and leveraging our strengths, we are confident in our ability to achieve our business objectives and deliver value to our stakeholders
We may be unable to manage growth, which may impact on our potential profitability.
Successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management and financial resources. To manage growth effectively, we will need to:
·Establish definitive business strategies, goals and objectives.
·Maintain a system of management controls; and
·Attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as develop, train, and manage management-level and other employees.
If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition, or operating results could be materially harmed, and our stock price may decline.
Our lack of adequate D&O insurance may also make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers.
In the future we may be subject to additional litigation, including potential Class A Non Votingction and stockholder derivative actions. Risks associated with legal liability are difficult to assess and quantify, and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time. To date, we have not obtained directors and officers liability (“D&O”) insurance. Without adequate D&O insurance, the amounts we would pay to indemnify our officers and directors should they be subject to legal action based on their service to the Company could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Furthermore, our lack of adequate D&O insurance may make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers, which could adversely affect our business.
We are currently considering various growth strategies, including the possibility of becoming a public company in the future. While we acknowledge the potential benefits of going public, such as increased access to capital and market visibility, we are also mindful of the significant expenses and reporting obligations associated with this process.
As part of our commitment to responsible financial management, we understand the importance of maintaining robust financial and management processes and controls. These measures are essential not only for accurate financial reporting but also for effective expense management and overall business operations.
While we may explore the option of going public in the future, our immediate focus is on building a strong foundation for growth and ensuring that we have the necessary infrastructure in place to support our business objectives effectively."
14
We estimate that it will cost $50,000 annually to maintain the proper management and financial controls for our filings required as a public reporting company that we hope to become soon after this offering. In addition, if we do not maintain adequate financial and management personnel, processes and controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial performance on a timely basis, which could cause a decline in our stock price and adversely affect our ability to raise capital.
We may not pay dividends in the future; any return on our investment may be limited to the value of our Class A Non-Voting Stock
We do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our Class A Non-Voting stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base and development and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our Class A Non-Voting Stock, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our board of directors. If we do not pay dividends, our Class A Non-Voting Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.
The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under our Articles of Incorporation and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers, and employees.
Our Articles of Incorporation contains provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our company and shareholders. Our bylaws also require us to indemnify our officers and directors. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our agreement with our directors, officers, and employees. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors, officers, and employees that we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resulting costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors, officers, and employees for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors, officers, and employees even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and shareholders.
A reverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our Class A Non-Voting Common Stock.
The liquidity of the shares of our Class A Non-Voting Common Stock may be adversely affected by a reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following a reverse stock split, especially if the market price of our Class A Non-Voting Stock does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split.
We are classified as an “emerging growth company” as well as a “smaller reporting company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies will make our Class A Non-Voting common Stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive consideration in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our Class A Non-Voting Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Class A Non-Voting Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Class A Non-Voting stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act.
We could remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our Class A Non-Voting stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $1.07 billion as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding year period.
15
Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company”. Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies,” “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

POTENTIAL RISK AND REWARD
Risks:
The potential risk of earning equity from a Pre-IPO company is that the company may never go public. In such a case, you would have invested your time and effort without receiving any financial any financial gain. Additionally, you could lose out on other job Crowdcaster ortunities while working for that pre-ipo company. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the value of the stock will increase, and it could even decrease in value.
We may issue shares of preferred stock in the future that may adversely impact your rights as holders of our Class A Non-Voting Stock .
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Accordingly, our board of directors will have the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares, as well as the authority to issue such shares, without further stockholder approval. Currently there are no shares of Preferred stock issued and outstanding. We have not yet determined if we will ever issue a preferred stock of if we will ever designate Preferred Stock at stockholders' meetings, for all purposes, including election of directors.
Our board of directors could in the future authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our Class A Non-Voting Common Stock , and the right to the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the Class A Non-Voting Stock . To the extent that we do issue such additional shares of preferred stock, your rights as holders of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock could be impaired thereby, including, without limitation, dilution of your ownership interests in us. In addition, shares of preferred stock could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult, which may not be in your interest as holders of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock.
We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
If we become a reporting company we will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to include in our annual report our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We do not have a sufficient number of employees to segregate responsibilities and may be unable to afford to increase our staff or engaging outside consultants or professionals to overcome our lack of employees.
We do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, our directors have the ability, among other things, to determine their own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
As a Regulation A, Tier 2 issuer, we will be subject to the periodic and current reporting requirements under Rule 257(b) of Regulation A.
Dilution.
Dilution typically occurs when a company issues additional shares, leading to a decrease in the ownership percentage of existing shareholders. However, in a cash -based shares model where shares are not purchased with cash but instead earned through completing cash s, the issuance of additional shares does not necessarily result in dilution of existing shareholders' ownership percentage.
Since your shares are allocated based on completed cash s rather than monetary investment, the traditional calculation of dilution based on net tangible book value per share may not be applicable. Each shareholder's ownership stake is determined by the number of cash s completed rather than the number of shares purchased, and the issuance of additional shares does not directly impact this ownership percentage.
Limited Transferability and Liquidity
To satisfy the requirements of certain exemptions from registration under the Securities Act, and to conform with applicable state securities laws, each investor must acquire their shares for investment purposes only and not with a view towards distribution. Consequently, certain conditions of the Securities Act may need to be satisfied before any sale, transfer, or other disposition of the shares. Some of these conditions may include a minimum holding period, availability of certain reports, including financial statements from our company, and limitations on the percentage of shares sold and the way they are sold. Our company can prohibit any sale, transfer, or disposition unless it receives an opinion of counsel provided at the holder's expense, in a form satisfactory to our company,
17
stating that the proposed sale, transfer, or other disposition will not result in a violation of applicable federal or state securities laws and regulations. No public market exists for the shares and no market is expected to develop. Consequently, owners of the shares may have to hold their investment indefinitely and may not be able to liquidate their investments in our company or pledge them as collateral for a loan in the event of an emergency."
Distribution of Shares
Our company's shares are not currently listed for trading on any exchange, and there is no guarantee that we will be registered on any exchange in the future.
While we aspire to meet these criteria in the future, we cannot assure our inclusion on any trading market until deemed necessary by management. As a result, our shares fall under Securities and Exchange Commission rules that impose additional sales practice requirements.
No Current Market For Shares
There is no current market for the Shares offered in this offering and no market is expected to develop in the near future.
Compliance with Securities Laws
The shares offered by Obsidian Prime Inc. are being made available in accordance with specific exemptions from registration requirements under the Securities Act, as well as relevant securities laws in Nevada and other applicable states. These exemptions are crucial to ensure legal compliance and protect the interests of our investors. In the event that the offering fails to meet the criteria for these exemptions, purchasers may have the right to seek rescission of their share purchases. Such a scenario could potentially lead to financial challenges for Obsidian Prime Inc., impacting our operations and all stakeholders involved. Therefore, we are committed to adhering strictly to securities laws to safeguard the integrity of our offerings and maintain investor confidence."
Offering Price
The pricing of shares offered by Obsidian Prime Inc. has been determined based on various factors, including the company's current stage of business development and the overall industry landscape. Our offering price is set considering these factors, and it may not directly correlate with the company's assets, net worth, or other specific criteria of value. Instead, it reflects our assessment of market conditions and the value proposition of our affiliate marketing network within the industry.
Lack of Firm Underwriter
Obsidian Prime Inc. is offering its shares on a "best efforts" basis, led by our management team without compensation, and through select FINRA registered broker-dealers. These broker-dealers engage in Participating Broker-Dealer Agreements with our company to facilitate the offering. It's important to note that this arrangement does not guarantee the sale of the maximum shares offered or any specific amount. The success of the offering depends on various factors, including market conditions and investor interest, and there is no assurance that all offered shares will be sold.
Projections: Forward-Looking Information
The management at Obsidian Prime Inc. has developed projections regarding our anticipated financial performance. These projections are hypothetical and are based on the presumed implementation of a sophisticated and well-funded marketing plan, along with other factors influencing our business. They represent Management's best estimate of our probable results of operations, given present circumstances, and have been reviewed by an independent auditor or accountant.
These projections are grounded in several assumptions that Management believes to be reasonable. However, it's important to acknowledge that some assumptions may not materialize due to unforeseen events and circumstances beyond our control. Therefore, actual results may vary from the projections, and these variances could be significant.
It's worth noting that assumptions regarding future changes in sales and revenues are inherently speculative. Additionally, projections cannot account for factors such as general economic conditions, regulatory changes, increased competition, terms of future capitalization, and other risks inherent to our business.
While Management believes that the projections accurately represent potential future results of our operations, we cannot be certain of these outcomes due to the inherent uncertainties and risks associated with our industry and broader market conditions.

DILUTION
If you choose to participate in this Offering and purchase shares, it's important to understand that your ownership stake in our Class A Non-Voting Common Stock will be diluted immediately. This dilution is determined by the variance between the price per share charged to the public in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Class A Non-Voting Common Stock following the completion of this Offering.
Future Dilution
It's important to recognize that dilution may occur in the future as a result of various actions taken by Obsidian Prime Inc. This could include an increase in the number of outstanding shares resulting from activities such as a public offering, a crowdfunding round, a venture capital round, or an angel investment. Additionally, dilution may arise from employees exercising stock options or the conversion of certain instruments, such as convertible bonds, preferred shares, or warrants, into stock.
Investors should be aware that dilution can occur through the issuance of additional shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock in future financing rounds. Dilution can impact the value of shares, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share. Investors should carefully consider the company's future financing plans and the potential impact of such issuances on their investment.
We believe these revisions accurately reflect the nature of the securities being offered and provide clear and relevant information to potential investors. If further clarification or additional amendments are required, please let us know.
In the event of issuing more shares, investors may experience value dilution, where each share is worth less than before, as well as control dilution, where the total percentage of ownership is reduced. Furthermore, there may be earnings dilution, leading to a decrease in earnings per share, particularly if the company opts to offer dividends. However, it's worth noting that most early-stage companies, including Obsidian Prime Inc., are unlikely to offer dividends initially, as they typically reinvest earnings back into the company to fuel growth and expansion.

HOW WE INTEND TO MAKE MONEY:
As an investor, you may be curious about how Obsidian Prime generates revenue and sustains its operations. One of the key strategies the company employs is affiliate marketing. Let me explain how it works and how it contributes to the company’s financial success.
Obsidian Prime forms partnerships with other businesses and promotes their products or services to its network of investors, which includes you as an investor. When these investors make a purchase from one of the partner businesses based on Obsidian Prime’s referral, the company earns a referral fee or commission.
By leveraging its extensive network and investor base, Obsidian Prime is able to showcase a variety of products and services to its investors. These promotional offers and exclusive deals are made available through affiliate marketing. When you, as an investor, make a purchase using the unique links or codes provided by Obsidian Prime, the partner business can track that sale back to Obsidian Prime’s referral. As a result, the company receives a portion of the revenue from the sale as a referral fee. Investors will be given the option to opt out of being offered products and merchandise from third parties. They can opt out of at any time and for any reason. Investors have the option to opt out of receiving communications or offers from third parties.
This revenue generated from affiliate marketing serves as a significant source of income for Obsidian Prime. It enables the company to cover various operational expenses, such as employee salaries, office rent, marketing activities, and other costs associated with running the business.
By leveraging its partnerships and network, Obsidian Prime curates and promotes products and services that it believes its investors will find valuable. These offerings may include a diverse range of items, such as software subscriptions, online courses, exclusive deals on physical products, access to premium services, and more. The company carefully selects these offerings to ensure they align with the interests and needs of its investor base.
The discounted prices and free trials provide added incentives for investors to explore and try out these products and services. By offering these benefits, Obsidian Prime aims to enhance the investor experience and provide access to valuable resources at a more affordable or risk-free basis.
From an investor’s perspective, this approach creates multiple advantages.
Firstly, it increases the engagement and satisfaction of investors, as they can discover and benefit from a wide array of products and services that cater to their interests and needs. This, in turn, contributes to investor retention and loyalty.
Secondly, by driving sales and transactions through its affiliate marketing model, Obsidian Prime Inc earns referral fees or commissions. These revenues not only cover operational expenses but also provide a source of funding for the company’s lending initiatives and overall growth.
Thirdly, it’s important to note that every purchase made by investors through Obsidian Prime Inc platform contributes to the success and profitability of the company itself. As an investor, this is a significant aspect to consider.
When investors make purchases through our platform, it not only provides them with access to valuable products and services but also directly benefits Obsidian Prime Inc. As a shareholder in the company, these purchases contribute to the company’s overall revenue and financial performance.
By supporting the company through their purchases, investors actively contribute to the growth and success of Obsidian Prime Inc. This can result in increased shareholder value and potential returns on investment. The more successful the company becomes in generating revenue and building its customer base, the greater the potential for long-term profitability and value appreciation.
Therefore, as an investor, it is crucial to recognize that the products and services offered by Obsidian Prime not only provide value to investors but also directly impact the success and financial well-being of the company itself. By aligning their purchasing decisions with the company’s offerings, investors play an integral role in the growth and profitability of the company, ultimately benefiting themselves as investors.

Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value of a single cash per share of common equity immediately after completion of this offering.

Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares of B Common Stock being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares of Class A Non-Voting Stock you purchase is also a result of the lower net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing shareholders.
As of January 18, 2024, Obsidian Prime Inc. has not issued any shares of common equity, including our Class A Non-Voting Stock . Therefore, the net tangible book value of our shares of common equity is not applicable at this time."

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In the ordinary course of our business, we are not exposed to market risk of the sort that may arise from changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates, or that may otherwise arise from transactions in derivatives.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of the Company's Class A Non-Voting Stock , stock-based compensation, the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, and the valuation allowance relating to the Company's deferred tax assets.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

Overview of Obsidian Prime Inc. (O.P.):
Obsidian Prime Inc. (O.P.) operates as a distinct affiliate marketing network, pioneering a novel approach to affiliate marketing by integrating crowdsourcing with affiliate marketing strategies. Our platform emphasizes community engagement and accessibility, available across multiple channels including the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and web-based applications.
Our Business Model:
We're overhauling the traditional marketing model to introduce a dynamic and innovative approach. Instead of relying solely on conventional advertising methods, we're leveraging cutting-edge strategies to engage with our audience in more meaningful ways.
Our traditional marketing model focused primarily on one-way communication, where businesses pushed their message out to potential customers through advertisements, commercials, and other promotional channels. While this approach had its merits, it often lacked personalization and failed to truly connect with consumers on a deeper level.
In contrast, our new approach to marketing is centered around fostering two-way communication and building genuine relationships with our audience. We're prioritizing engagement and interaction, seeking to understand our customers' needs, preferences, and pain points on a more intimate level.
Through targeted content creation, social media engagement, community-building initiatives, and personalized communication channels, we're creating opportunities for meaningful dialogue and collaboration with our audience. Rather than simply broadcasting our message, we're actively listening to feedback, responding to inquiries, and addressing concerns in real-time.
By adopting a more holistic and customer-centric approach to marketing, we're not only enhancing brand awareness and loyalty but also driving tangible results in terms of customer acquisition, retention, and advocacy. Our goal is to create a more authentic and immersive brand experience that resonates with our audience on a deeper level and inspires long-term loyalty and advocacy.

OBSIDIAN PRIME its goal is to the goal of disrupt marketplaces. Our business plan revolves around three key components:
Practicing what we preach: OBSIDIAN PRIME offers crowdsource-based equity consideration for stock to individuals who wish to own a piece of a company striving to go public one day. This Crowdcaster opportunity is not limited to wealthy accredited investors but extends to non-accredited individuals lacking the capital to invest. Our single online cash allows individuals to earn one share of stock by providing their contact information. The contribution required will not exceed 10% of the greater of the non-accredited investor's annual income or net worth.
• First, embodying our principles through action, OBSIDIAN PRIME by offering crowdsource-based equity consideration to individuals who aspire to own a stake in companies aiming to go public.

• Second, we identify visionary, leadership-driven startups with a first-to-market advantage, capable of creating substantial and measurable market disruption. We empower these startups by providing them with the necessary capital, operational support, mentorship, and market access. Our aim is to enable their leadership to focus primarily on technology innovation, product development, and customer acquisition.
32
• Third, we ensure that our portfolio companies maintain their vision and have the essential resources, capital, and market access to achieve our collective objectives and accelerate their growth. We provide comprehensive support services beyond their core expertise, including assistance in establishing a robust legal structure, implementing effective accounting systems, and leveraging our Affiliate Marketing Network's human resources, operations, management, and advisory network. By addressing operational challenges unrelated to technology or growth, we enable streamlined operations, transparent valuation, and reduced complexities when pursuing acquisitions, management buyouts, additional capital raises, or mergers with third parties.
Through these three components, OBSIDIAN PRIME anticipates generating substantial returns by nurturing and supporting startups that align with our criteria during their initial stages. As these companies grow and mature, we plan to monetize our assets through avenues such as recapitalization, special dividends, or strategic exits.

ABOUT OUR AFFILIATE MARKETING MODEL
At OBSIDIAN PRIME INC, our mission is to nurture and transform innovative products and services into disruptive and successful products and services through the power of equity crowdsourcing. We provide a comprehensive suite of services and benefits to every cash -based investor in our crowdsource network, enabling them to focus on helping to scale the business they have stock in. Our diverse environment offers a new form of capital “human capital” We aim to guide, nurture, and collaborate with highly motivated cash -based crowdsources with market Crowdcaster ortunities, found nowhere else.
While traditional affiliate marketing scenarios use a network of affiliate marketers everyone for himself method, we use crowdsourcing which turns a group of individuals into a team. This is what sets us apart. Instead of acquiring individual users we utilis crowdsourcing concept that significantly enhances the chances of success. Through our crowdsourcing process, entrepreneurs can leverage our management, marketing, and technical support, along with office space, human resources and payroll services, legal and accounting assistance, transaction advisory and investment banking services, and other types of mentoring support. Unlike short-term incubator programs, we maintain involvement with our portfolio companies for an extended period, typically three to seven years on average. Our focus goes beyond short-term financial returns as we seek disruptive companies and winning teams to create a platform of portfolio companies that shake up their respective markets, ultimately generating attractive returns for our investors.
We have no plans to acquire equity positions in any portfolio companies or exercise controlling voting rights. Instead, we act as their business incubator, providing them with a suite of "blue-chip" benefits to enhance their likelihood of success. Even for companies in which we hold a less-than-controlling equity position due to valuation or other reasons, we offer access to the same value-added services. These companies become part of our portfolio platform but are not directly controlled by us. To ensure compliance with the Investment Company Act and maintain flexibility, we implement robust internal procedures to track valuations of our operating portfolio companies continuously. This ensures that these companies represent at least 60% of our total assets on an unconsolidated basis, excluding cash and government securities.
MARKET CROWDCASTER ORTUNITY
In the U.S., three out of five start-up companies struggle to survive beyond three years. However, as start-ups mature and receive outside funding, guidance, and mentorship, their likelihood of success increases. We target companies that have already demonstrated business viability by delivering a product to the market, acquiring customers, or making significant progress in product development and customer acquisition. Clearing these significant hurdles in the business cycle reduces certain completion and success risks. By offering capital, value-added services, guidance, mentorship, and expansive networks, we provide important support and guardrails for their future growth. Our timing aligns with the changing landscape brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and economic shifts, creating numerous Crowdcaster ortunities for disruption and innovation across industries and processes.
33
OUR STRATEGY
Our winning strategy revolves around partnering with initiative-taking management teams and disruptive entrepreneurs. We believe that selecting companies with a developed technology, service, or product, at least one customer, and two to three years of business activities enhances their likelihood of success. We recognize that start-up companies face the highest risk of failure during the initial years.
ABOUT OUR CROWDSOURCE-BASED BUSINESS MODEL
At OBSIDIAN PRIME INC, our goal is to transform our innovative ideas into disruptive and successful companies through a unique crowdsource-based approach.
To achieve this, we offer a comprehensive suite of services and benefits to every company in our portfolio. This empowers their management teams to focus on creating technology, building products and services, and acquiring customers at a scale. Our highly diverse environment provides patient and enthusiastic capital, deep operational and corporate finance mentoring, and an expansive network of professionals who can advise and open doors in key areas for early-stage companies. We actively guide, nurture, and collaborate with initiative-taking management teams and disruptive entrepreneurs. We expect all OBSIDIAN PRIME entrepreneurs to bring deep domain experience, understand their market Crowdcaster ortunities, and have developed business models targeting high growth and high profitability.
While traditional business incubators and accelerators focus on raising funds and acquiring equity positions, our pioneering crowdsource-based incubator model sets us apart. We do not acquire controlling stakes in portfolio companies. Instead, we provide them with a robust support structure that significantly enhances their chances of success. This unique support attracts entrepreneurs who seek partners with our expertise, allowing them to focus on their core skills.
As an incubator, we actively participate in the business of our portfolio companies through a crowdsourcing system. We provide various services including management, marketing and technical support, office space, human resources and payroll services, legal and accounting assistance, transaction advisory and investment banking services, as well as guidance, mentoring, and other forms of support. Unlike short-term incubator programs, we maintain long-term involvement with our portfolio companies, typically spanning three to seven years on average. Our focus extends beyond short-term financial returns as we seek disruptive companies and winning teams to create a platform for portfolio companies that bring about disruption in their respective markets, generating attractive returns for our investors.
We do not intend to take equity positions or exercise controlling voting rights in our portfolio companies. Instead, we act as their business incubator by providing a suite of "blue-chip" benefits aimed at enhancing their likelihood of success. Even for companies where we hold less-than-controlling equity positions due to valuation or other reasons, we offer access to the same value-added services. They become part of our portfolio platform without being directly controlled by us. To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, we have robust internal procedures in place to track the valuations of our operating portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. This ensures that these companies always represent at least 60% of our total assets on an unconsolidated basis, excluding cash and government securities.
MARKET CROWDCASTER ORTUNITY
In the United States, three out of five start-up companies struggle to survive beyond three years. However, as start-ups mature and receive outside funding, guidance, and mentorship, their likelihood of success increases. We target companies that have already demonstrated business viability by delivering products to the market, acquiring customers, or making significant progress in product development and customer acquisition. Clearing these significant hurdles in the business cycle reduces certain risks and enhances their chances of success. We believe that our capital, value-added services, guidance, mentorship, and expansive networks can provide important support and guidance, allowing experienced managers to maintain focus on core capabilities without stifling creativity or the ability to disrupt markets or product sets.
The COVID-19 pandemic and concurrent economic slowdown have caused significant shifts in all areas of society. We anticipate a surge in creativity and a rethinking of business practices and daily routines. OBSIDIAN PRIME is well-positioned to foster growth and drive change. We believe there are numerous industries, niches, and processes ripe for disruption. Some examples include mobile banking solutions for unbanked populations, educational digital testing and performance optimization, brand engagement through online gaming and cellular networks,
34
·Nurturing and Advising – Our collaborative and consensus-seeking approach is much preferred to the protective provisions typically required by venture capital firms. We believe in collaboration with winning management teams, and that includes achieving consensus with our portfolio companies on per case corporate decisions. A typical venture capital investment requires certain protective provisions in the portfolio company’s governing documents. These provisions generally require the venture capital firm’s approval for all major corporate events such as offer of the company, additional financings, mergers and acquisitions, material employment agreements, material joint ventures, and other relationships, regardless of the size of the firm’s equity stake in the portfolio company.
·Mitigating Risks for Failure – The suite of value-added services we offer to our portfolio companies will enhance their likelihood of success. For our operating portfolio companies, we will wrap them with our support and services (see “Business - Our Strengths and Competitive Advantages”) that will increase their competitive advantages. For our other portfolio companies that are not our portfolio companies, we will offer them access to the same support and services, and if accepted, we believe these benefits will not only mitigate their risks for failure but enhance their likelihood of success.
·Recognizing High Probabilities of Scale – Our platform of portfolio companies in the digital space will allow us to achieve economies of scale. For instance, we will be in a much better position to negotiate on behalf of our portfolio companies with third-party human resources benefits providers. We expect to be able to purchase higher-quality and more comprehensive human resources benefits for employees of our portfolio companies than these companies can on an individual basis.
·Multiple Bottom Lines – We offer attributes that will increase the likelihood of long-term and outsized success. Because there is no agreed, strict definition of an ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) investing, we cannot claim strict adherence to a set of ESG principles. But we do believe in socially responsible investing, and we seek to put ESG principles into practice. We seek companies doing excellent work and whose business at a minimum is not causing harm to the environment, society, or industry. OBSIDIAN PRIME change can appear to shake up an industry, but we see that as a positive change. Further, we seek founders and entrepreneurs who understand that diversity of thought breeds success which is best achieved with a diverse workforce. Pay levels, ethical treatment of the entire value chain, and transparency are additional attributes that we offer and value. We believe that these values increase the likelihood of long-term and outsized success.
We do not intend to hold any equity positions in any of the portfolio companies in our program this will allow us to focus our efforts on growth. We want to not be deemed an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. To ensure strict compliance with this asset test so as not to trigger the Investment Company Act, we plan to develop and implement robust internal procedures to track valuations of our operating procedures in dealing with the companies in our program. (See “Business – Investment Company Act Considerations.”)
We are not a holding company, but rather a company focused on supporting and accelerating the growth of startups. Our success and equity consideration program will primarily depend on, and be associated with, the success of such business operations. We are not engaged in the business of, nor will we ever be compensated for, rendering investment advice. Therefore, neither we nor our management will be deemed an “investment adviser” subject to registration under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 or the Blue Sky laws.
Our Strengths and Competitive Advantages
We believe our competitive strengths lie in the “blue-chip” benefits we confer and make available to all our portfolio companies. We believe that these benefits will greatly enhance their likelihood of success. Some of these benefits include:
·Enthusiastic, supportive, human capital – Unlike business accelerators who may be more focused on short term financial returns, we plan to provide enthusiastic, supportive, and patient capital. Through mentorship, we will also coach management on how to raise subsequent rounds of financing for their own organic growth, growth through acquisitions, management buyouts, or other material events.
·Operational support, if needed – Many of our principals and advisors are serial entrepreneurs and veterans in technology, information design and infrastructure (our platform), banking, corporate finance, and business incubator business. If needed, we will provide a wide range of operational support that may include management, marketing and technical support, office space, employment human resources and payroll services, legal and accounting services, transaction advisory and investment banking services, offers guidance and support, management and advisory services, and other types of mentoring support, including access to governmental lobbying where needed and diversity training and management. We believe the winning formula is to remove some of the operational challenges common to early-stage companies that may distract management from growing the business.
35
·Mentorship – We promote idea exchange, coaching and collaboration. We plan to be active participants in all material aspects of our operating portfolio companies’ business. We believe that each of our portfolio companies has a unique business or market advantage, and we plan to nurture that advantage and coach management on how to best leverage this advantage. Wherever possible, we also plan to encourage our portfolio companies to collaborate for mutual benefits.
·Network of professionals – Our network stems from long-term relationships. This includes clients and senior managers across industries and disciplines, influencers, business developers, product designers and developers, and board members. We plan to customize our deployment of our deep and extensive networks to each portfolio company and help them open doors and Crowdcaster ortunities to offers and partnerships.
Investment Company Act Considerations: NOT
We intend to continue to conduct our operations so that neither we, nor any of our portfolio companies, is required to register as investment companies under the Investment Company Act.Section3(a)(1)(A)of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Section3(a)(1)(C)of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the issuer’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. Government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis, which we refer to as the 40% asset test. Excluded from the term “investment securities,” among other things, are U.S. Government securities and securities issued by majority-owned portfolio companies that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company set forth in Section3(c)(1)or Section3(c)(7)of the Investment Company Act.
We will monitor our compliance in the portfolio companies to ensure that each of our portfolio companies is in compliance with an applicable exemption or exclusion from registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The securities issued by any wholly-owned or majority-owned, that are excluded from the definition of” investment company” based on Section3(c)(1)or 3(c)(7)of the Investment Company Act, together with any other investment securities we may own, may not have a value in excess of 40% of the value of our total assets on an unconsolidated basis. We believe that neither we nor certain of our portfolio companies will be considered investment companies for purposes of Section3(a)(1)(A)of the Investment Company Act because we and they will not engage primarily or hold themselves out as being primarily engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Rather, we and such portfolio companies will be primarily engaged in non-investment company businesses. Consequently, we and our portfolio companies expect to be able to conduct our operations such that none will be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
The Investment Company Act defines a majority-owned, of a person as a company 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of which are owned by such person, or by another company which is a majority-owned, of such person. We treat companies in which we own at least a majority of the outstanding voting securities as majority-owned portfolio companies. The determination of whether an entity is majority-owned, of our Company is made by us. We also treat portfolio companies of which we or our wholly-owned or majority-owned, is the manager (in a manager-managed entity) or managing member (in a member-managed entity) or in which our agreement or the agreement of our wholly-owned or majority-owned, is required for all major decisions affecting the portfolio companies (referred to herein as “Controlled Portfolio companies”), as majority-owned portfolio companies even though none of the interests issued by such Controlled Portfolio companies meets the definition of voting securities under the Investment Company Act. We reached our conclusion on the basis that the interests issued by the Controlled Portfolio companies are the functional equivalent of voting securities. We have not asked the SEC staff for concurrence of our analysis, and it is possible that the SEC staff could disagree with any of our determinations. If the SEC staff were to disagree with our treatment of one or more companies as majority-owned portfolio companies, we would need to adjust our strategy and our assets. Any such adjustment in our strategy could have a material adverse effect on us.
Qualification for exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act will limit our ability to make certain investments. To the extent that the SEC staff provides more specific guidance regarding any of the matters bearing upon such exclusions, we may be required to adjust our strategy accordingly. Any additional guidance from the SEC staff could provide additional flexibility to us, or it could further inhibit our ability to pursue the strategies we have chosen.
The loss of our exclusion from regulation pursuant to the Investment Company Act could require us to restructure our operations, sell certain of our assets or abstain from the purchase of certain assets, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. See “Risk Factors— If we are deemed an ‘investment company’ under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted.”

Employees
We currently have three full-time employees. A fourth employee will start part-time January 1, 2025.
Competition
Our ability to produce revenues will rely on several factors including and not limited to identifying winning management teams and disruptive entrepreneurs. We will compete with angel investor groups, traditional business incubators, business accelerators and venture capital firms, many of whom may have a lot more capital and other resources than we do.
Intellectual Property
We have several patents or trademarks still in processing.
Legal Proceedings
We are not involved in any litigation, and our management is not aware of any pending or threatened legal actions relating to intellectual property, conduct of our business activities, or otherwise.
The Company’s Property
We do not own any real estate, our office space. We maintain an executive office in a 2-story building located at the new Brentwood building indicated on the cover page of this Offering Memorandum.
Our objective is to support small retailers with our affiliate marketing services. Then expand and develops the process more efficiently.
Competition
In the affiliate marketing industry in the USA, the landscape is diverse, with numerous players each holding a portion of the market share. While many affiliate marketing initiatives originate from various regions across the country, Silicon Valley remains a significant hub for technological innovations in this sector. Although ventures outside of Silicon Valley are present, only a few successfully materialize into fully operational entities.
Given the lead time required for new affiliate marketing ventures to establish themselves, Silicon Valley is poised to maintain its dominance in the foreseeable future. This dominance potentially enables Silicon Valley to dictate market dynamics, including pricing strategies, thereby giving them a competitive edge.
The influx of affiliate marketing ventures from other regions or nations could intensify competition, leading to price adjustments, diminished profit margins, and a potential loss of market share. These factors may pose challenges to our profitability. However, we are confident in Obsidian Prime Inc.'s ability to compete effectively amidst evolving market dynamics.
While we do not intend to rely on government support to develop our own Crowdsourcing Network, it's important to note that competitors in the market may possess greater financial resources and capital, potentially impacting our competitive position. Despite this, Obsidian Prime Inc. remains committed to navigating these challenges and maintaining a strong foothold in the affiliate marketing industry.
Seasonality
We do not expect any seasonality in our business.
Litigation
The Company has no current, pending or threatened legal proceedings or administrative actions either by or against the Company issuer that could have a material effect on the issuer’s business, financial condition, or operations and any current, past or pending trading suspensions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
______
Please see the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This discussion contains opinions reflecting our current understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. However, actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those stated in or implied by these opinions due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Offering Circular. Please see the notes to our Financial Statements for information about our Critical Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations:
Overview:
Obsidian Prime Inc, a Affiliate Marketing network incorporated in California in January 2024, is pleased to present an overview of our financial performance and strategic direction. Our fiscal year ends on December 31.
Financial Condition:
Our financial statements mirror our reliance on crowdsource transactions and equity consideration. Crowdsource transactions involve the exchange of goods or services without the use of cash, while equity consideration transactions entail issuing equity in exchange for goods or services. We recognize revenue from these transactions based on the fair value of the goods or services exchanged. However, it is worth noting that our financial statements may have included revenues from these transactions without separate identification.
Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months:
In the upcoming year, our cost of revenue will primarily be attributed to operating the Affiliate Marketing Crowdsourcing Network, where we offer products and services via promotions and special offers, as well as our marketing efforts. Currently, we do not incur research and development expenses, and we do not foresee any in the near term. Nevertheless, we anticipate significant expenditure related to marketing and promotional activities for the products we intend to highlight. Our general and administrative expenses, including legal, accounting, and consulting fees, have been modest thus far, but we anticipate an increase in these costs as we expand our operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements: The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk:
Our business operations shield us from market risk stemming from fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or transactions in derivatives. However, in compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), our management is responsible for making estimates and assumptions that can influence the reported figures of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Although these are diligently considered, the actual results may vary. Key estimates and assumptions include the fair value of our Class A Non-Voting stock and the valuation of stock-based consideration.
Results of Operations
Revenues
As of the date of this filing the Company has no revenue.
Cost of Services
As of the date of this filing the Company has no revenue.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our operating expenses from inception on January 18, 2024 has been $522.00.
38
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of January 18, 2024, the Company had approximately $578.00 in total assets, of which $500.00 is in software under development.
The Company has enough capital to last up to and through the offering, to sustain its current operations. The Company has no bank lines or other financing arranged. We believe that the crowdsourcers we partner with from the offering will be adequate to meet our liquidity and capital expenditure requirements for the next 36 months. We anticipate that we will need at least $200,000.00 to attain significant business growth. In the future, we may need to seek additional capital, potentially through private placements, bonds, or convertible notes to fund our plan of operations.
PLAN OF OPERATION FOR THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS:
See "DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS":
Insurance
The Company does not currently have, nor does it contemplate purchasing any liability or other insurance in the near-term future.
Employee Benefit Plan and Medical and Health Insurance
Upon commencement of revenue-producing operations, or shortly thereafter, the Company expects to implement an Employee Benefit Plan and medical and health insurance for each officer that is competitive with industry standards.
Over the upcoming year, our cost of revenue will be primarily driven by the operation of the Crowdsourcing Network, which focuses on offering products and services through promotions, special offers, and marketing efforts. Currently, we do not allocate resources to research and development expenses, and we do not anticipate such expense the foreseeable future. However, we do expect to incur significant expenses related to marketing and promotional activities for the products we intend to promote. Additionally, our general and administrative expenses, encompassing legal, accounting, and consulting fees, are presently at a minimum level, but we anticipate an increase in these expenses as we intensify our operational activities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:
Obsidian Prime maintains a commitment to transparency and simplicity in our financial operations and, as such, does not engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -Affiliate Marketing Transactions:
We would like to provide additional clarity regarding the treatment and reporting of Affiliate Marketing transactions in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section.
Facilitate Informed Decision-Making: Investors can make informed decisions about the company's investment potential, considering the specific characteristics.
Enhance Trust and Transparency: Full disclosure of the company's financial operations fosters trust and transparency, which are essential elements in building strong investor relations.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk:
Our business operations do not subject us to market risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or derivative transactions. However, in line with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), our management is obliged to make estimates and assumptions that can influence the reported figures for assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Consequently, there is a possibility that actual results may deviate from these estimations. Notable among the key estimates and assumptions made by our management are the determination of the fair value of our Class A Non-Voting Stock , the valuation of stock-based consideration, the assessment of the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, and the evaluation of the valuation allowance pertaining to our deferred tax assets.
39
Contingencies:
The Company may potentially face exposure to losses due to existing conditions that are contingent on future events for resolution. Management, in collaboration with legal counsel, conducts assessments to gauge the likelihood and potential magnitude of any significant losses related to ongoing legal proceedings or unasserted claims. In cases where it is deemed probable that a material loss has been incurred and the liability's amount can be estimated, the estimated liability is recognized in the Company’s financial statements. In instances where a potentially significant loss contingency is considered reasonably possible but not probable, or if it is probable but unquantifiable, the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the potential loss range, if ascertainable and material, are disclosed. Contingent losses that are deemed remote are generally not disclosed, except in cases involving guarantees, which are disclosed.
Ongoing Reporting Requirements Under Relaxed Standards:
Following the completion of this Offering, our intention is to transition into a public reporting company under the Exchange Act. As an "emerging growth company" according to the JOBS Act, we will be obligated to maintain ongoing public reporting. This report will adhere to relaxed standards that recognize the unique characteristics and requirements of emerging growth companies. These standards aim to promote transparency and accessibility in financial reporting while accommodating the distinct challenges and Crowdcaster ortunities faced by companies in their early stages of growth.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
As an issuer with less than $1 billion in total annual gross revenues during our last fiscal year, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and this status will be significant if and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we:
·will not be required to obtain an auditor attestation on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2012.
·will not be required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”);
·will not be required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our security holders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes);
43
·will be exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure.
·may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A; and
·will be eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards.
We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under Section 107 of the JOBS Act. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act.
Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial offer of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this offering, while a public offering, is not a offer of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our Class A Non-Voting Stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.
Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions are also available to us due to the fact that we may also qualify, once listed, as a “smaller reporting company” under the Commission’s rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation on their assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.
44
INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight
The Board of Directors oversees the Company’s business, evaluating the risks associated with our business strategy and decisions. The Board implements its risk oversight function as a whole. The Board of Directors may determine to create committees, for audit, compensation, or other purposes, as the Company grows, but ultimate responsibility for the strategy and direction of the Company shall remain with the Board for the foreseeable future. Further, as our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, we are not subject to requirements concerning independent directors or the establishment of any committees.
Term of Office
Under its bylaws, the Company’s single initial board member may serve in that capacity unless removed for cause. To date, no additional directors have been added to the Board. The Board of Directors appoints the executive officers, subject to removal by the Board of Directors.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among any of our executive officers or directors.
During the current fiscal year or any currently proposed transaction, there is no transaction involving the Company, in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the Company’s total assets at year-end for its last the fiscal years.
Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest
There are no conflicts of interest between the Company and any of its officers or directors.
Stock Options
The Company has no stock option plan.
Indemnification Agreements
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors, executive officers and other key employees. The indemnification agreements and our amended and restated By-Laws will require us to indemnify our directors to the fullest extent permitted by California law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), may be permitted to directors, executive officers or persons controlling us, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
The California Business Corporation Act permits, but does not require, corporations to indemnify a director, officer or control person of the corporation for any liability asserted against her and liability and expenses incurred by her in her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of her status as such, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not Crowdcaster used to, the best interests of the corporation, and, unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, whether or not the corporation has provided for indemnification in its articles of incorporation. Our articles of incorporation have no separate provision for indemnification of directors, officers, or control persons.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the act and is therefore unenforceable.

RECENT OFFERS OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
The following are all issuances of securities by the Company since its formation in January 18, 2024 which were not registered under the Securities Act. In each of these issuances the recipient represented that he or she was acquiring the shares for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards distribution or resale except
In compliance with applicable securities laws. No general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with any transaction, and the certificate evidencing the securities that were issued contained a legend restricting their transferability absent registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an applicable exemption there from. Unless specifically set forth below, no underwriter participated in the transaction and no commissions were paid in connection with the transactions.
The shares of our Class A Non-Voting Stock were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.These shares of our Class A Non-Voting Stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance of shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, these shareholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) since they agreed to receive share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” All shareholders are “sophisticated investors” and are family members, friends or business acquaintances of our officers and directors. Based on an analysis of the above factors, we believe we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction.
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Parties
We have adopted a related-party transactions policy under which our executive officers, directors, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of our Class A Non-Voting Stock , and any members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons are not permitted to enter into a related-party transaction with us without the consent of our audit committee. If the related party is, or is associated with, a member of our audit committee, the transaction must be reviewed and approved by another independent body of our Board of Directors, such as our governance committee.
Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest
There are no conflicts of interest between the Company and any of its officers or directors.
Employment Agreement s
We have no employment agreement with any officers.
