$2M raise · 5% equity · $40M post-money cap · SAFE structure
A dynamic technology pioneer.
KumoKodo.ai specializes in the development of cutting-edge, AI-powered web and mobile applications. We are poised to capitalize on the multi-trillion-dollar AI and digital transformation markets by providing businesses with essential tools that make work easier, stronger, faster, and better.
Our hybrid business model is built on two synergistic pillars: a scalable SaaS portfolio of AI-powered applications, with five core products operational (Kodokyo, SiteBeacon, Aether AI Support, AI Colosseum, and LisAI) plus two additional products in private beta with design partners (Akiko, a spatial multi-account Gmail cockpit, and Kodori, an AI-native document management system for law firms and AEC), and high-value custom development & consulting services. Notably, all KumoKodo.ai applications utilize Aether AI Support as their integrated helpdesk and ticket management system, demonstrating our commitment to eating our own cooking and validating our platform in production environments.
Building on this foundation, our 5-year strategic roadmap includes the accelerated launch of 10 additional high-impact AI SaaS applications — for a total of 17 SaaS products by Year 5 — addressing critical pain points across diverse industries. We are led by a founder with over two decades of experience in web development and digital marketing, supported by seasoned executives with proven track records in enterprise sales and complex, secure technology integration. We are now raising a focused $2,000,000 pre-seed round at a $40M post-money valuation cap, designed to preserve founder ownership before our priced seed round in Year 2.
The investment proposition.
We are raising a focused pre-seed round to graduate Akiko and Kodori from private beta, accelerate Kodokyo's enterprise rollout, and bring the next 2-3 pipeline products to market. The round is sized and priced to preserve founder ownership and optionality before a priced seed round in Year 2.
Why this shape
A small, focused pre-seed round at a healthy valuation cap lets us close quickly with strategic angels and small pre-seed funds, hit the milestones (Akiko + Kodori GA, first paying enterprise customers on Kodori, Kodokyo enterprise traction) that justify a higher Series-A valuation, and avoid heavy dilution before the company's value is fully reflected in the round price. The $40M cap is supported by 7 products shipping today, an additional 10 in the pipeline, and a Year 5 revenue trajectory north of $114M with 67%+ net profit margins.
Strategic benefits of the investment
- →Accelerated product velocity. Graduating Akiko + Kodori from private beta and bringing 2-3 pipeline launches to market over the next 18 months.
- →Targeted talent acquisition. Hiring focused product, sales, and customer success roles aligned with our highest-leverage launches.
- →Enterprise traction. Investing in the Kodokyo enterprise motion (SOC 2 / SSO / SAML rollout) and Kodori's legal + AEC pilot programs.
How the investment is structured: SAFE
All investments will be structured using a SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) — the standard, founder-friendly instrument for a pre-seed round of this shape.
- →Valuation cap. $40,000,000 post-money. The SAFE converts to equity at the lower of the cap or the discount rate at the next priced round.
- →Discount rate. 20% off the next priced round's share price, rewarding pre-seed investors for taking earlier risk.
- →Why a SAFE?. No maturity date, no interest accrual, no board seat at this stage (an observer seat is offered to the lead investor). Closes in days, not weeks.
The team.
Our leadership team is uniquely positioned to execute on this vision.
A visionary with two decades of hands-on experience in full-stack development, digital marketing, and AI product conceptualization.
18 years of experience in enterprise software sales, with a proven history of securing high-value accounts from giants like Boeing and GE Healthcare.
A technical architect with extensive experience managing complex, secure AI integrations and mission-critical government systems.
This team's synergistic blend of technical acumen, sales leadership, and operational experience is our most significant competitive advantage.
Financial projections.
The pre-seed raise funds two complementary execution scenarios. The Conservative path reflects lean execution against the $2M raise alone. The Base path is the trajectory we expect to deliver, assuming a follow-on priced seed round in Year 2 funds the marketing and hiring acceleration. Both incorporate the Akiko and Kodori private-beta products graduating to general availability.

Note: The Base Scenario shows a small initial Year 1 loss reflecting the upfront investment in talent and infrastructure required to graduate Akiko and Kodori from private beta. Both scenarios incorporate revenue contributions from all 7 currently-shipping products plus the 10-product pipeline.
Highlights
- →Explosive revenue growth. Projected to grow from $1.5M in Year 1 to nearly $115M by Year 5 in the Base Scenario, reflecting aggressive market penetration and adoption of our expanding SaaS suite — including Kodori's high-ACV legal/AEC accounts and Kodokyo's enterprise team subscriptions — alongside custom development and consulting services.
- →Elite margins. Consistently maintains gross margins above 82% and net profit margins that climb to over 67%, a hallmark of highly scalable and efficient SaaS businesses.
- →Compelling returns. A projected cumulative profit exceeding $118 million by Year 5 in the Base Scenario offers an extraordinary return on investment for pre-seed investors entering at a $40M post-money cap.
