📌 KEY HIGHLIGHTS
✓Achieved profitability in 2024 with $665K net income
✓$30M DoD contract validates technology for defense applications
✓232% revenue growth ($2.2M → $7.4M) demonstrates traction
✗High debt ($4.3M) vs low cash ($248K) - survival raise

🐂 BULL CASE
- +DoD validation with $30M contract de-risks technology
- +Profitability achieved early demonstrates capital efficiency
- +Dual-use technology (defense + commercial) expands TAM to $60B+
- +Tethered design solves key limitations of untethered drones
- +Four strategic patents protect core technology
🐻 BEAR CASE
- −High debt burden ($4.3M) with minimal cash ($248K)
- −Airborne wind energy has poor track record - Makani failed after $200M+
- −Hardware business model is capital-intensive and difficult to scale
- −Single customer concentration risk - DoD is majority of revenue
- −This raise is necessary for survival, not optional growth capital
