• 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

Although striking, the image below is NOT the future of computing.
The K-Computer, China
World's 4th-largest supercomputer
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"

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.

"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
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

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
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"
