Figures as reported by the issuer in the filing shown on hover. Each year’s pill shows the assurance level of its filed statements — audited, reviewed (CPA review, less than an audit), or unaudited, as the filing’s own report or certification states it. A dashed pill marked * is inferred instead: the SEC minimum for an offering that size, which the issuer may have exceeded. No pill means we couldn’t tell. Headcount is the filing’s point-in-time count, not a year-end average. Manually corrected figures are marked “Corrected”.

Christoph Geppert
Branding and Product Design Lead

For the last four years Christoph has been living his dream, combining his passion for design and sustainability in one single project. Since 2018 Christoph has been developing an electric motorbike for India. Starting with the entrepreneurial ambition of longstanding client Tau Lotus, he developed the definition of the strategy for both the business and the brand, the technology concept and industrial design for the motorbike, investor engagement and sustainability assessment. From Christoph’s early studies in management strategy and environmental economics at the University of St Andrews and in Münster, Germany in the early nineties, Christoph’s desire to utilize design as a driving force to advance sustainability has been clear. After several years of working as a strategic consultant, Christoph’s belief in design as a corporate tool for success was strengthened enough to study industrial design at Central St Martin’s College in London. This lead to design projects for the next 20 years ranging from strategic definition and name development to product design and aircraft interiors, websites and many other brand experiences. Clients range from large corporates like Qualcomm, Sony PlayStation, Nokia and British Airways to startups and disruptors like ecoATM, Floreon, Catwalk Club and Spring Bank. Christoph latest quest for learning means he is IEMA certified for Carbon Management and GRI certified for Sustainability Reporting.

About this data. Figures are compiled from public sources — SEC EDGAR filings (Form C, C-AR, 1-A, 1-K) and funding-platform pages — and may be delayed, incomplete, or restated by the issuer. Financial statements are as reported by the issuer; each year is labeled with its assurance level (audited / reviewed / unaudited). A valuation cap is the conversion ceiling of a SAFE or convertible note, not an agreed company valuation; post-money figures are computed as pre-money plus amount raised and are not a traded price. Crowdonomics is not a broker-dealer, funding portal, or investment adviser; nothing here is investment advice or an offer to sell securities. Verify all figures against the linked EDGAR filings.
