THE opportunity
Unleash the Power of Collaborative Robots
Today, countless "dirty, dull, and dangerous" tasks still fall on human shoulders. Hazardous inspections, disaster response, and infrastructure maintenance--these crucial but risky jobs put lives at stake and limit productivity. While robots excel at specific tasks, they often struggle to cooperate in unstructured environments. Changing weather, shifting terrain, and unpredictable conditions can throw traditional robots off balance.
*The above graphic contains images of our prototypes which are currently not available for general use.
AvaWatz provides a solution with our leading-edge AI platform that equips robots with the ability to communicate, strategize, and adapt on the fly. Our robots can share data and insights in real-time, participate in joint decision-making efforts, coordinate their actions seamlessly, and adjust to changing conditions.
This means that robots can take on the hard stuff while humans stay safe and focus on higher-level tasks. No more sending engineers into perilous pipelines. No more putting first responders in harm's way. With AvaWatz, robots can collaborate and solve problems, boosting safety and efficiency across industries.
*The above graphic contains images of our prototypes which are currently not available for general use.
Unlike competitors, we’re not simply building robots that specialize in one task or skill. At AvaWatz, we're creating an AI toolkit for perceiving the world, sharing information with robot and human teammates, making consensus-based decisions, and acting to accomplish shared goals. It's the same cooperative process humans have used to complete every task since the beginning of time, and by doing the same for robots, we aim to usher in a new era.
*The above graphic contains images of our prototypes which are currently not available for general use.
Potential of AvaWatz Trusted AI Robotics Platform
- Companies can create robots for specific tasks, like inspecting pipelines in the dark or exploring dangerous environments.
- Researchers can develop even more advanced AI algorithms for robotics applications.
- The future of robotics is wide open, with nearly endless possibilities for how robots can help us in the real world.

I am very excited about Avawatz, and have increased my investment multiple times. I just saw your update on Avawatz's security and surveillance technology, and I'm concerned that it could be used by rogue regimes like the one in Tel Aviv to commit further atrocities against the Palestinian People. How do you plan to avoid such an outcome?

I'm from D3VC, a venture fund that specializes in equity crowdfunding deals, particularly in innovative and forward-thinking companies. I've got a couple of questions about Ava Watz that piqued our interest: Intellectual Property - Could you please provide details on any patents you may hold? We're eager to understand the core technologies these patents protect and how they enhance your competitive position in the market. Valuation Inquiry - We noticed your valuation has increased to $80 million despite showing decreasing revenues in your previous financial disclosures. Could you explain the key factors that contributed to this valuation adjustment? Thanks for your time, and looking forward to your insights!

FAQS
With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
