The spinning wing is pushed sideways by the wind (the "Magnus effect"), and its pull on the cable drives a generator on the ground. The company reports that winds at this height are stronger and steadier, giving much more constant output than normal wind or solar.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The first customers, per the company, would be off-grid sites currently running diesel generators and businesses wanting cheaper, cleaner power — served by the MAG25 model (about 0.1–0.2 MW, priced at €300,000 per unit, sold directly or leased), planned to be ready within 12–18 months. A larger 2 MW model (MAG80, €1.7M per unit) is planned for 2027–2028 to serve utilities and data centers, where the company sees its main growth. Ongoing maintenance and performance contracts would add recurring income.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">So far, the company has built and flown a 15-metre prototype fully autonomously — publicly documented — and reports 18 letters of intent from four continents worth over €180M in potential revenue, plus partnerships with EDF and Michelin’s Start2Prod programme (both of which rest on the company’s materials; we found no public record of either).

The prototype operates under authorized operations at the Transpolis test site (per the company and the site operator), and the campaign reports DGAC authorizations for the MAG15. The commercial gate is European certification: the EASA process is planned to start with this round — a dedicated Certification Project Manager is budgeted — and no settled EU certification pathway for airborne wind systems yet exists.</span></span></p> <table cellspacing="0" class="Table" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:none; width:6.5in"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="background-color:#f4f2ec; border-bottom:1px solid black; border-left:1px solid black; border-right:1px solid black; border-top:1px solid black; vertical-align:top; width:312px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><strong><span style="color:black">โ Strengths</span></strong></span></span></p> </td> <td style="background-color:#f4f2ec; border-bottom:1px solid black; border-left:none; border-right:1px solid black; border-top:1px solid black; vertical-align:top; width:312px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><strong><span style="color:black">โ ๏ธ Concerns</span></strong></span></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-bottom:1px solid black; border-left:1px solid black; border-right:1px solid black; border-top:none; vertical-align:top; width:312px"> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Test operations run at a professional certified test site with the operator publicly confirming the collaboration</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Certification is explicitly planned and budgeted in the use of funds — the company is not ignoring the gate</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">French DGAC authorizations reported for the prototype (per the campaign)</span></span></li> </ul> </td> <td style="border-bottom:1px solid black; border-left:none; border-right:1px solid black; border-top:none; vertical-align:top; width:312px"> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">EASA certification has not begun, and the certification framework for this category of aircraft is itself still forming — timeline risk is structural</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Every commercial milestone in the plan sits behind certification</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Current permit scope (altitudes, locations, operations near people) not in the pack we reviewed</span></span></li> </ul> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h1><span style="font-size:16pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="color:#2e74b5">๐ถ Valuation detail</span></span></span></h1> <table cellspacing="0" class="Table" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:none; width:6.5in"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="background-color:#f4f2ec; border-bottom:1px solid black; border-left:1px solid black; border-right:1px solid black; border-top:1px solid black; vertical-align:top; width:213px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><strong><span style="color:black">Pre-money valuation</span></strong></span></span></p> </td> <td style="border-bottom:1px solid black; border-left:none; border-right:1px solid black; border-top:1px solid black; vertical-align:top; width:411px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">€9,961,800 — the figure shown on the listing; Sowefund’s own investor guide states the valuation it displays is the pre-money figure (the value before this round’s money is added).

The share class, voting rights, and whether you would hold shares directly or through a holding vehicle set up by the platform (a structure often used so many small investors act as one shareholder) are not in the pack we reviewed. In practice, on French platforms either structure is common; which applies determines whether you vote yourself or a representative votes for the pooled crowd. How a decision to sell the company would reach you depends on those same undisclosed documents.</span></span></p> <h2><span style="font-size:13pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="color:#2e74b5">Dilution — how your share can shrink</span></span></span></h2> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">When a company raises money again, it creates new shares, and every existing shareholder’s percentage shrinks unless they buy more ("dilution"). The pack we reviewed does not state whether a next round is planned — but the plan it describes points that way: the utility-scale MAG80 phase (2027–2028) sits beyond what a €600–715K round funds. Whether you would have the right to join future rounds ("pre-emption"), or whether any existing investors hold protection that shifts dilution onto others ("anti-dilution"), is not in the pack we reviewed. Illustrative example with standard mechanics: if you owned 0.01% after this round and the company later raised a round that doubled the share count, your stake would become 0.005% — the same shares, half the percentage. A sale price would then be split over that larger share count.</span></span></p> <h2><span style="font-size:13pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="color:#2e74b5">If the company is sold or wound down</span></span></span></h2> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The standard payout order is: lenders and creditors first, then any shareholders with a priority right to be repaid before others (a "liquidation preference"), then everyone else splits what remains. Whether any share class in Wind Fisher holds such a priority, how the remainder is split, whether a majority can force all shareholders to join a sale ("drag-along"), whether you can join a sale on the same terms as the founders ("tag-along"), and whether any lock-up applies — none of this is in the pack we reviewed.
