Hi HN, my name is Marcus.
I have been developing a "One Model" I call Capella since my sophomore year 2019 in college.
Capella is a dynamic forecasting agent that maps the future horizon 12+ months ahead.
It maps the future sequence of events that you can follow.

Capella does not require large dataset to process and outlines future horizon.
Only input it requires is a 5 year timeseries pool of a system.
EX) pool of historical asset price, pool of historical sentiment, etc.

Processing low-resolution video file is our next R&D goal.
We are exploring if events we experience are a byproduct of free-will or a predetermined one.

We applied Capella on financial markets first since it offered the best value for the cost to maintain it.
Profitability is one, but financial markets is extremely rich in information content.
Capella outlined major events that would shift the economic landscape a year ahead.

In 2022, we held a private demo to executives at Samsung.
We outlined predetermined events upcoming to the financial markets for the next 13 months from the date of the meeting.
They were mind blown, eyes widened, and half skeptical about the technology we were showing them.

We prepared 20 sequence of investments to follow for a year in the US markets.
After a year, 20 sequence averaged 29.2% return (beating the S&P500 by 13.9%). Top sequence returned 140.5%.
It outlined major buyouts and horizon that would disrupt global oil markets just to name a few.
(It turned out to be the Nord Stream Pipeline.)

One of the executives from the meeting offered to set up meetings with major investment banks in Korea.
We needed some guidance since we have no clue on how to price what we had for a fundraise.
He found a comparable deal and said there is a good salvage value that we could benchmark from.
This is where problems started to arise.

-- Problems --

1. We haven't incorporated the company due to legal reasons of me not being a US citizen.
I need to set up the company in the US for the long term growth of what I created.
I am not sure if it is even legal for me to set up a company in the Delaware as a C-corp.
Even then, I am unsure on how I can work on my company here.

2. We are low on cash.
Our initial cash balance was extremely low.
Even with good returns, our revenue barely covered the computer and electricity bills.
To increase cash, we developed a weaker version of our earlier model to sell it.
But after seeing the reaction from demos, we realized it was the dumbest idea I ever had.

3. My only source of funding is disappearing soon.
My parents helped me finance good majority of our operation expenses.
I can't ask for funding from them anymore.
I came to SV last month to help my parents move back and decided to visit VC events on the side.
Luckily one VC showed interest in us and wants to potentially co-invest as the funds we required is high.

4. Our prototype proved that it works but it requires packaging to launch it as a product.
With the computation and migration time, it would take about 12 months with 4 additional team members.
A lot of talented people showed interest in our work but we don't know how to protect our technology.

I reached out to various VCs via cold emails but I haven't received a single reply yet.
Been looking over few more networking events that I can go to.
With my runway shortening, I am unsure of what to do next.

Throughout the last 4.5 years of development,
I solved problems that seemed impossible everyday to get to the current model.
Lost girlfriend of 3 years, my best friend and co-founder, and my sanity couple times.
Despite all of this, I don't want to give up.

But it seems like my current situation is something that I can not fix by myself.
If anyone has any advice, please let me know.
