Graphene Frontiers
• Zhengtang Tom Luo:      EL
• A.T. Charlie Johnson:   PI
• Mike Patterson:         Mentor




• The subject of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics, graphene is believed to be
  the strongest and most conductive material ever measured
• Graphene Frontiers is working to scale and commercialize a patent
  pending production process for manufacturing graphene that produces a
  higher quality material at a lower cost than other known methods

What We Did: F2F/Phone Discussions
• Sudip @ Osage Capital Partners
• John (CEO), Wayne (Founder), Keith, and Allen at Graphene
  Technologies
• Bo Ning from Knighthawk Engineering
• Andreas Kopietz from kopietz-consulting.de
• Jason Heikenfeld, Gamma dynamics
• Miguel Fonseca at DISPLAX
• Joseph King, Managing Director of Global Investments at DuPont
  Ventures
• Pannam team. Meeting with Nick Briggs(sales), Joe Lough
  (technical), Herb Gieseler, Jeff Lubich, Barry McCray, Claudia Bostic,
  Mike Olszewski, Mike Rish.
Partners
• Investors
   –   We need them to share cost
   –   Risk: what are risks? (IP, competition, market readiness)
   –   Why will they partner with you?
   –   What’s the cost of the partnership?


• Competitor example: Graphene Supermarket

• Display/Touch screen manufacturers: Gamma dynamics, DISPLAX,
  Pannam
   –   We need their expertise and manufacturing capability
   –   Why will they partner with you? They need a new “Buzzworthy” product
   –   We might get stuck in non-profitable products – “Buzzworthy” = loss leader?
   –   What’s the cost of the partnership? Time and resource for joint product
       development
What We’ve Learned
• We will need a partner to enter the paper-thin display or
  rugged touch screen market

• Key to success is clear and candid communication of our
  material specs and limitations—still some unknowns, e.g.
  durability

• We might have limited knowledge of partner capability and
  resources—significant due diligence required

• Value will be in IP generation: How do we ensure that we
  capture some of this and share in the upside? (JV?)

Graphene frontiers lecture 8 resources

  • 1. Graphene Frontiers • Zhengtang Tom Luo: EL • A.T. Charlie Johnson: PI • Mike Patterson: Mentor • The subject of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics, graphene is believed to be the strongest and most conductive material ever measured • Graphene Frontiers is working to scale and commercialize a patent pending production process for manufacturing graphene that produces a higher quality material at a lower cost than other known methods
  • 2. Graphene Frontiers Business Model Canvas “B” Scale up Equipment Foldable / Education Flexible Mfg Bendable Transparent Customization Service/Maint. Conductor Universities Build Prototype Durable Collaborative Paper thin R&D display Downstream (PTD) Fabrication Companies Rugged Higher Quality Touch IP License Large Area Screen CVD Equipment “Industrializable” Integrate Into Other Products Low Cost Facilities/Lab Intermediate License/Royalty Capital Equipment Personnel Product Sales Direct Sales/Travel Lab space
  • 3. What We Did: F2F/Phone Discussions • Sudip @ Osage Capital Partners • John (CEO), Wayne (Founder), Keith, and Allen at Graphene Technologies • Bo Ning from Knighthawk Engineering • Andreas Kopietz from kopietz-consulting.de • Jason Heikenfeld, Gamma dynamics • Miguel Fonseca at DISPLAX • Joseph King, Managing Director of Global Investments at DuPont Ventures • Pannam team. Meeting with Nick Briggs(sales), Joe Lough (technical), Herb Gieseler, Jeff Lubich, Barry McCray, Claudia Bostic, Mike Olszewski, Mike Rish.
  • 4. Partners • Investors – We need them to share cost – Risk: what are risks? (IP, competition, market readiness) – Why will they partner with you? – What’s the cost of the partnership? • Competitor example: Graphene Supermarket • Display/Touch screen manufacturers: Gamma dynamics, DISPLAX, Pannam – We need their expertise and manufacturing capability – Why will they partner with you? They need a new “Buzzworthy” product – We might get stuck in non-profitable products – “Buzzworthy” = loss leader? – What’s the cost of the partnership? Time and resource for joint product development
  • 5. What We’ve Learned • We will need a partner to enter the paper-thin display or rugged touch screen market • Key to success is clear and candid communication of our material specs and limitations—still some unknowns, e.g. durability • We might have limited knowledge of partner capability and resources—significant due diligence required • Value will be in IP generation: How do we ensure that we capture some of this and share in the upside? (JV?)
  • 6.
