Grace Century is a research group representing accredited investors, 500+ strong, with a wealth of experience, contacts and insight.
We filter through the 100’s of projects that are brought to us each year and find the true “game changers” that are poised to be the next leader of a new industry or change an existing industry. This usually results in one or two very special projects for consideration a year.
As a group, we are able to negotiate for our members projects obtained from a position of strength, gaining the best possible arrangement, and gaining continuous involvement and oversight as the project develops.
Through this continuous involvement from the top, utilizing our networks in all aspects of business, and offering on-going information, we believe Grace Century gives its members a project with dramatically reduced risk while increasing the probability of success.

Capital is the life blood of every business. Virtually
every business ever started and every business
that will ever be formed all started the same way.
First, with the entrepreneurs own money, and then
with “forward-thinking” investors, willing to accept
risk for much greater returns.

Between the years 2000-2008, Banks and other
traditional sources of capital for the “would-be
entrepreneur” slowly left the space. After 2008’s
financial crisis, funding capital for start-ups through
these sources, was non-existent.
Private Equity, Venture Capitalists, and Angel
Investors have never played a more important role
or had the opportunity to participate at such an
advantageous stage in young companies lives.

Grace Century is an International Research and
Private Equity Consultant, located in Ras Al
Khaimah, U.A.E. The firm is fully licensed by the
RAK Investment Authority.
Grace differs from a typical Private Equity firm
in that once it has researched a niche industry, it
selects the most promising “young” firm within
that industry, conducts stringent due diligence,
and then negotiates for both its group and Grace
the best capital formation package it can. Grace
acts as a bridge to the selected firm and its group
and acts as an independent out-sourced investor
relations entity for its members with constant
updates and review.
Only “game-changing” and disruptive
business models are selected. In other words,
firms who are poised to be industry leaders from
the start. Grace prefers the following industries:
Healthcare, including Life Sciences, Financial
Services, and Alternative and Renewable Energies.
Rarely do Individual Investors have the opportunity
to participate in highly researched Private Equity
Projects at the “ground floor”. This is usually
available only to “insiders”. At Grace, we believe
that high reward doesn’t have to be accompanied
by high risk.
Through research, due diligence, and constant
oversight, Grace believes it can actually reduce
risk in a traditional high risk asset class. From
the beginning of every project, Grace is involved
with top management on a daily basis, utilizing
its expertise and global network to assist the
promoted firm in every aspect of launch.

Grace receives literally over 100 projects submitted
for consideration a year. These are screened
through a rigorous process of parameters, and
produces approximately one project a year.
These fall into the $5,000,000 to $20,000,000
range and must be a “Game-Changer “ for the way
business is normally done or be a solution for an
untapped or unmet need.

Our Consultants are International professionals,
all of which have been entrepreneurs in their own
right. They know what investors want and need
when considering a private equity project.
This includes:
• Due Diligence to find companies with distinct
and competitive advantages
• Monitoring “use of capital”
• Marketing and channel assistance for the
companies
• Information on benchmark successes and
challenges

Projects are introduced to new Members with
an eye on risk. While we reserve some projects
exclusively for existing Members, we hold one
open to new Members.
A new Member is asked only to decide if Private
Equity participation in a “ground floor” project
is appropriate for their individual portfolio. With
that, they are provided with all the necessary
business plans and research necessary to make
an informed investment decision. If a member
decides to participate, they invest directly with the
firm under consideration.
Grace Century only acts as a bridge, as it also
invests directly along with its Members.

Project Overviews
The Quantum Group, allows you to profit
directly from the approaching “U.S. Government
stimulus” provisions, mandated by 2014.
Electronic Medical Records (the ability for
Doctors, hospitals, and patients to have all
patient records on line in real- time) are a
mandated and required element of the U.S.
health-care reform. It has long been proven that
EMR not only improves the level of health-care
but also reduces costs. It is estimated that 90%
of the U.S. records are still on a paper system.
The ones that aren’t, still don’t talk to one
another.
Quantum’s platform, PWeR 2.0 is poised to
change all that. “One Patient-One Record”
ready- to- use, “Cloud-Based” systems. Security
and reliability parameters exceed the strict
HIPAA guidelines.
Briefly noting key points:
• Quantum holds 3 U.S. Patents with 17 U.S.
Patents Pending.
• The platform encompasses all aspects
from History, drug interaction, scheduling,
billing, and practice management. It also
allows patients to track their Doctors
directions, facilitating “wellness programs”
with simplicity.
• No other platform we know of does this.
PWeR is a unique ‘cloud based’ solution
developed to capture significant market share
before the 2014 mandate allows, in “Critical-
situations”, for providers to have access to
vital history to properly provide treatment.
The market for EMR is 90% undeveloped in the
U.S. as well as international. This must go to
100% developed by 2014 to avoid large penalties.
Quantum, through Grace, also has access to
both Latin America and Chinese markets.

Project overviews
Stem Cells ARE the future of medicine. They have
the potential to re-grow and repair virtually any
organ, nerve, tissue or bone.
Originally, Stem Cells from Umbilical cords was
able to be used in therapies to treat certain blood
disorders in family members. The family had to
decide at the time of birth to store the cord in a”
Bio-Bank” approved for storage. If the decision
wasn’t taken, it was gone forever. This industry
called the “Cord-Blood” industry and has been
growing at a rate of 25%/year.
Recently, the NIH (National Institute for Health)
discovered that powerful Stem Cells can be found
in a Child’s first set of teeth and also in Wisdom
teeth. These Dental Stem Cells have the ability
to grow bone, tissue, and even neural cells. This
has created an unprecedented new opportunity
to provide Stem Cell banking services to families.
Grace has found the one company, that was
founded a year ago. They are already positioned to
be the leaders in Dental Stem Cell Banking.
They are the ONLY Dental Stem cell Banking
service which:
• Has proprietary rights and uses the ONLY
FDA/ADA (food and Drug Administration /
American Dental Association) approved kit for
transporting dental tissue
• Cultures Dental Tissue Stem Cells in a FDA
and GMP approved Laboratory and under
CLIA (Clinical Lab Improvement Amendment),
and the ONLY one in the U.S., which tests for
Stem cell Biomarkers, thus ensuring that the
customer’s sample contains Stem Cells.
• The Company is already doing 30% of its
business internationally. The U.S. Market is
estimated to be worth $3Billon, and with 4
million new Children coming into the 5-12 year
age group annually, the market is wide open.
While 1000’s of firms are working on therapies
to utilize these cells, and some have not yet even
been thought of, everyone knows that the Stem
cells are the key. We feel Bio-banking, with an
Industry leader, is the only way to make money in
Stem Cells now.
