USA India Israel Tech Acceleration Opportunity Realize superior returns on investment through a qualified and managed diversified portfolio of international equity investments in early stage world-class technologies that will gain North American market access through the Mirus Global startup acceleration network. Background Early Stage Entrepreneurs Worldwide early stage entrepreneurs struggle to develop their opportunities for global markets. They tend to lack the international knowledge and access to critical talent and resources for their development. Entrepreneurs with truly scalable technologies want to grow their businesses to the fullest potential by having the right support and assistance in their early stage corporate and strategic formation, technology development, international market access, and in fund raising. Investors Venture capitalists (VC) and strategic corporate investors need access to highly qualified deal flow for subsequent investment, licensing, or acquisition. High net worth individual investors (Angels) want access to the same qualified deal flow but with the ability to have a more personal connection with the investment and in a diversified/lower risk manner. Both investors are challenged with accessing global investments. Investors have significant interest investing in opportunities that have proven leadership teams with world-class technology in a lower risk manner. Operation The team of Mirus Global will source, qualify, and support global entrepreneurs, being incountry in India, Israel, and the United States. With significant personal experience and extensive international networks, the team of Mirus Global will work directly with entrepreneurs in all aspects of their development, supporting the corporate formation, technology development, financing, and market access. The Mirus Global program of acceleration for a portfolio company lasts a maximum six months, in-country, with a funding roadshow in the United States, and an overall endpoint being a successful fundraising event that will enable further acceleration in the portfolio company s target market. This latter in-market acceleration phase will last six to eighteen additional months, involve location of a portfolio company s corporate office in Mirus Global s foreign market office, and be focused on market access and expansion along with ongoing corporate development, including financing.

Portfolio Targets The focus high tech early stage startups with world-class entrepreneurs; where there is both rapid development and low capital intensity Key technologies big data, cyber security and fraud prevention, blockchain, web and mobile, app monetization solutions, entertainment, ecommerce, IOT (internet of things) Areas of interest software, internet services and infrastructure, digital media, communications Economic Model Mirus Global will take equity positions in approximately 90 Portfolio Companies over a three year period. Mirus Global will seek to receive from each Portfolio Company, for its participation in the Mirus Global acceleration program, a five (5) year warrant to purchase common shares at par-value that will represent five percent (5%) of the Portfolio Company's outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis at the first round of funding that is greater or equivalent to $250,000. Mirus Global will seek to receive an additional warrant representing five percent (5%) stock, on a fully diluted basis, under the same terms and conditions of current investment round, based on 1) the Portfolio Company realizing an external accumulated financing of at least $250, 000, including Mirus Global's investment, within twelve (12) months after completion of the acceleration program; and 2) Mirus Global participates in such investment round with an investment of no less than $50,000. The Mirus Global aforementioned investment will be at the same terms and conditions as the current investment round and in addition to any warrants received. If prior to an investment in a Portfolio Company, as mentioned above, Mirus Global decides to make a mezzanine money contribution in a Portfolio Company, Mirus Global will seek to receive a convertible note from the Portfolio Company that will represent one percent (1%), for each $5,000 invested, of the Portfolio Company's outstanding shares, at par-value and on a fully diluted basis, at the first round of funding that is greater or the equivalent of $250,000. With respect to each Portfolio Company, Mirus Global will seek to obtain an assignable right to make "follow-on" investments for each round of funding. This "follow on" right will be assigned pro rata to Unit Holders who express interest in a direct investment in a specific Portfolio Company. As a result, Unit Holders will have an opportunity to increase their individual stake in the Portfolio Companies that reach the External Financing stage by investing in such companies. 2

Upon a portfolio company liquidation event, distribution of funds will be split 80/20 with Mirus Global Investors receiving 80% and 20% going to the management of Mirus Global. Mirus Global projects an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 23%. Mirus Global is raising $5MM (USD) to cover three years of operation. Subscriptions, including a 1:1 warrant, are being offered to High Net- Worth Individuals (HNWI) in minimum increments of $200 thousand. Why Mirus Global? Mirus Global looks at things a little differently. Reduced risk with investor control we provide lower risk access to high-growth potential investments where the Investor has ultimate control. Direct international access we are in-country to source the best opportunities, develop these to scale, and provide access to critical markets like the United States. Unparalleled support and resources we assist and guide the entrepreneurs in their most critical times of development, helping them ultimately gain critical international market access and funding. Success that is aligned with your success we are financially incented to generate superior returns on investment for all Mirus Global Investors. We succeed when our entrepreneurs and you succeed. Mirus Global uniquely offers a highly selective investment program for scalable technology-enabled startups 3
