"The network IS the computer"

- John Gage, 1984

Charity Engine is building the

biggest computer on the planet.

• Crucial for all major industries:

finance, energy, pharma, biotech,

automotive, construction

• Server farms cost billions,

are the size of football fields,

and need an entire town's

worth of electricity

• Most locations already at

limits of energy use

Cloud Computing: the new Arms Race

3

• Already a $120Bn market (IDC)

• 30% CAGR

• $241B market by 2020 (Forrester)

Demand for computing is massive – and growing

• Cloud computing is the fastest-growing IT sector

4

Although striking, the image below is NOT the future of computing.

The K-Computer, China

World's 4th-largest supercomputer

THIS is the future of computing.

Visualization of the entire internet.

Ideal source of computing supply: The Internet Itself

• Only platform that "beats" Moore's Law:

not only faster chips, but also millions

of new devices added weekly

• 50 billion online devices

by 2020

• Average PC runs at

< 1% of capacity

• $1 billion+ of computing

power wasted daily

"The network IS the computer"

7

Despite huge potential, computing is (ironically)

one of last industries to adopt Shared Economy model

Transportation: Uber has no fleet.

Finance: Lending Club holds no balances.

Hospitality: Airbnb buys no hotels.

Computing: Providers still use their own hardware!

8

The main problem wasn't technical…

(distributed science projects already showed proof of concept)

Over $2 billion in computing power donated

through Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC)

9

…the problem was how to MARKET it.

10

"Distributed systems will often be the most efficient and elegant technical solution… but it seems difficult to convince the world to use these systems"

- Excerpt from Page & Brin'soriginal white paper on Google

So, how do you harness the 99% of idle PCs

whose users aren't motivated by science?

Charity Engine's unique business model

has triggered colossal interest.

Unique revenue split: Charities, Prizes and Profits

13

1/3 of earnings go to generous cash prizes for lucky users

14

The REAL reason users love it: 1/3 of earnings go to charity

15

User response to Charity Engine ads has been INSANE

Just onboarded top-tier brand as first customer:

Wolfram Research

• Secured $100,000 initial contract

with Charity Engine

• WR has stated interest in quickly

boosting its order size by 2x, 3x, or

more after successful integration

• Immensely admired brand

within the computing industry

• WR is also making a strategic cash

investment in Charity Engine

• CEO Stephen Wolfram has assumed

advisor role at Charity Engine

19

Pilots underway with many more top brands

New Customers with Pilots Underway or Requested:

In Negotiations with other Potential Customers:

One of Charity Engine's many killer apps: Web Scraping

• Without us, firms simply cannot scale

their scraping ops, due to cost hurdles

and/or blocked IP addresses

• Almost every new customer

asks us to provide this service

• Several customers have explicitly told us:

"it's either Charity Engine, or not at all"

• Our limitless unique IP addresses make

Charity Engine an unbeatable scraping

platform; no other player can deliver this

Commercialization campaign now underway

to lock in multiple revenue streams

• YEAR 1: Onboard 5+ additional enterprise clients

• ONGOING: Use any idle devices on network for altcoin mining

• YEAR 2: Launch web UI to capture long tail of SME customers

Revenue Goal:

$1M ARR within 24 months

22

With our unfair advantages – free hardware, free energy –

Charity Engine undercuts AWS by up to a staggering 90%

23

Charity Engine is already

one of the world's ten biggest computing platforms…

Supercomputer Rankings once Charity Engine scales

25

• Onboarded 200,000 PCs before server meltdown

• Mobile app ready for deployment, to enable addition

of millions of phones and tablets worldwide

On track to become planet's biggest computer -

by several orders of magnitude

• A Charity Engine network of ~20M PCs would be larger

than every supercomputer on Earth, combined

• No limit to how large Charity Engine scales

26

Our clients also love using the

world's GREENEST computing solution

• By only using spare processing cycles

of devices that were running anyway,

Charity Engine bypasses the huge

carbon footprint of server farms

• Charity Engine's grid called "the

greenest volunteer computing grid

of them all" by industry media

• Better yet: Our "Winternet" approach

can send computations to cold/night

places where heat is welcome, not waste

– enabling Zero-Carbon Computing

27

Team has decades of experience in distributed computing

28

Charity Engine has won multiple awards,

and captured the attention of the tech press

Media Coverage Awards and Industry Recognition

29

• Most crucial use of funds: expand server capacity and user ads,

to capture the unbelievable user demand

• Proceeds will also be used to expand sales, marketing functions

• With proven product and customer leads in pipeline,

Charity Engine is ready for immediate, massive scale-up

Currently raising a $500K seed round

• SVC2UK names Charity Engine one of the companies

"likely to hit $100M revenues in next 3 to 5 years"
