The returns range is an illustration of what a successful sale could pay, built from named sector benchmarks — not a forecast. Where something was not in the pack we reviewed, it did not lower any score — instead it appears in the questions section, so you can ask the company directly.

It pairs a small, quiet outdoor unit with a 1,000-litre water tank and a heat pump. The clever part is physics: when water freezes, it releases a large amount of heat, and the system harvests that heat to warm the house — so it can store energy when outside conditions are good and draw on it on cold nights. The company reports the system stores about five times the energy of a same-size ordinary tank and runs at about 35 decibels, quieter than a normal air-source heat pump. It sells through heating contractors (so the contractor, not Nullpunkt, deals with the homeowner) at a system price of roughly CHF 29,900, and the company reports more than 30 installation partners in Switzerland and first systems already in use. The three founders previously ran an engineering firm together (Trinovent GmbH, from 2014) doing aerospace and machinery work. This EUR 400,000 raise is to fund the market roll-out, build sales and service, and finance the company until it breaks even.</span></span></p> <div style="border-bottom:solid #9dbad6 1.0pt; padding:0in 0in 3.0pt 0in"> <h2><span style="font-size:13pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="color:#1f4e79">📈 The returns picture</span></span></span></h2> </div> <table cellspacing="0" class="Table" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:none; width:6.75in"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="background-color:#f4f2ec; border-bottom:1px solid #d0d0d0; border-left:1px solid #d0d0d0; border-right:1px solid #d0d0d0; border-top:1px solid #d0d0d0; vertical-align:top; width:200px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><strong><span style="color:black">The target</span></strong></span></span></p> </td> <td style="border-bottom:1px solid #d0d0d0; border-left:none; border-right:1px solid #d0d0d0; border-top:1px solid #d0d0d0; vertical-align:top; width:448px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">About 4x your money over about 3 years.

Because the shares sit in that pool, you do not vote individually at company meetings — the pool votes the whole block as one, decided by a simple majority among pooled investors, under a standing authority given to the pool leader. Decisions to sell the company are effectively made by the larger holders: the founders and their holding company hold about 68%, and a defined majority of votes (including a majority of the preference shares) can approve a sale.</span></span></p> <div style="border-bottom:solid #d9d9d9 1.0pt; padding:0in 0in 2.0pt 0in"> <h3><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="color:#2e74b5">Dilution — how your share can shrink</span></span></span></h3> </div> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Dilution means your slice of the company gets smaller when new shares are issued in a later round. The company expects to raise again (it describes financing “until break-even”). Your preference shares carry some protection: a standard “weighted-average” anti-dilution provision that partly compensates you if a future round is priced below this one, for 24 months after this round; and rights to take part in future share sales (“pre-emption”), though for pooled investors these work through the pool. Note a clause that lets a 95% shareholder majority require everyone to join a future round.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><strong><em>Illustrative example (mechanics only). </em></strong>Suppose the EUR 400,000 buys about 3.8% of the company. If the company later issues 25% more shares and you do not invest again, your slice would fall to about 2.85% (3.8% × 0.8). The anti-dilution protection would soften this only if that future round is priced below this one. Figures are illustrative because the full ownership table was not in the pack we reviewed.</span></span></p> <div style="border-bottom:solid #d9d9d9 1.0pt; padding:0in 0in 2.0pt 0in"> <h3><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="color:#2e74b5">If the company is sold or wound down</span></span></span></h3> </div> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">If the company is sold or closed, the money is paid out in order: first lenders (including the insider loans, to the extent not yet converted), then shares with priority, then everyone else. Your preference shares get the greater of (a) your money back, or (b) what you would get by converting to an ordinary share and sharing in the proceeds — in plain terms, on a weak sale you get your money back ahead of the founders, and on a strong sale you convert and share the gains like everyone else. After your preference is paid, the rest goes to ordinary shareholders in proportion to their holdings; your class does not both take its money back and then also share that remainder. A “drag-along” right lets a majority (60% of votes plus a majority of the preference shares) force everyone to sell, with a floor that you receive at least your original price. A “tag-along” right lets you join a sale if large holders sell more than 10%. There is a 2-year founder lock-up, a 15-year minimum term on the shareholders' agreement, and no way to sell your shares early — so this is a long, illiquid hold. One term to verify directly: a clause lets the founders buy back a preference holder's shares for CHF 1.00 in total; although framed as an option, that price means no money back, so do not rely on it as protection.</span></span></p> <div style="border-bottom:solid #d9d9d9 1.0pt; padding:0in 0in 2.0pt 0in"> <h3><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="color:#2e74b5">Terms not in the pack we reviewed</span></span></span></h3> </div> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The full ownership table — who owns exactly what after this round (referenced as an exhibit but not attached).</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The exact percentage the EUR 400,000 tranche buys.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Whether the ~10% employee share pool grows before the next round.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The patent application numbers, filing dates and countries.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The EHPA / EU certificate number.</span></span></li> </ul> <table cellspacing="0" class="Table" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:none; width:6.75in"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="background-color:#e6f1fb; border-bottom:1px solid #d0d0d0; border-left:1px solid #d0d0d0; border-right:1px solid #d0d0d0; border-top:1px solid #d0d0d0; vertical-align:top; width:648px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><strong><span style="color:black">ℹ️ This is not investment advice. </span></strong><span style="color:black">The purpose of this overview is to help potential investors preselect crowdfunding projects quickly.
