Introduction

Water is a critical resource for food production, and climate change is forcing us to think differently. We all felt the recent heat waves across the world & here in the UK with temperatures hitting an all-time high. We've seen the news of floods & droughts threatening our planet’s livelihood. Rethinking how we irrigate our crops & produce our food sustainably is critical to meeting the needs of the world’s population which is expected to grow to 10B people by 2050. That's where ALVÁTECH comes in.

With their innovative award-winning products ALVÁTECH is reimagining water technology to help the 570 million farmers worldwide grow more, save water & improve soil health.

ALVÁTECH disrupts water molecules in an ecological way, runs off solar energy and is chemical-free. Backed by science and phenomenal results on the ground, they're now raising to scale up in the projected $15.6B precision farming market (by 2030) with the aim of becoming a global industry leader that'll help reshape the future of farming.

Substantial accomplishments to date

Since launching in 2019, ALVÁTECH installed their water treatment devices & established an international distribution network spanning across six continents.

ALVÁTECH success stories and testimonials keep growing and they've grown their revenue 3x between 2021 and Q3 2022*.

Their technology has been validated by independent reviews from industry research institutions such as the Red Cross, Brimrose USA and the University of Agadir.

ALVÁTECH has been awarded several international AgriTech awards, including:

- WE4F - Water & Energy for Food Award
- The International AgriTech Excellence Award by a panel of judges from Syngenta, Kubota, M&S and Barclays Bank and
- The International DeserTech Award

ALVATECH has recently entered into collaborations with several agricultural companies.

*Based on unaudited management accounts.

Monetisation strategy

ALVÁTECH's dual business model has been tailored to the needs and business culture of the agriculture industry, offering leasing and purchase options.

Their sales channels include a growing network of distributors in selected countries, referral schemes, as well as collaborations with business partners, NGOs and governments.

ALVÁTECH aims to grow and diversify their product offering with plans to launch an e-commerce platform to support Hydroponics & Vertical Farming sales.

Use of proceeds

With their successful technology, product development, and the establishment of global distribution and sales operations, ALVÁTECH aims to harness the proceeds of this round for growth.

The funds are to be divided between 3 key areas:

> 51% will go toward increasing sales in high-priority countries, supporting the distributors and increasing local professional & marketing support.

> 27% will be used to increase capacity for operations and production to meet the growing demand for ALVÁTECH devices, allowing the company to stay ahead of the curve.

> 22% will go toward developing ALVÁTECH’s Artificial Intelligence, big data technology, and devices which we aim to be the next generation of climate change battling solutions.

Investing involves risks, including loss of capital, illiquidity, lack of dividends and dilution, and should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Please read the Risk Warnings before investing. Investments should only be made by investors who understand these risks. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future.

The summary information provided about investment opportunities on this webpage is intended solely to demonstrate the types of investments available on the Seedrs platform, and any investment decision should be made on the basis of the full campaign. Full campaigns are available to investors who have become authorised to invest on the Seedrs platform. All investment activities take place within the United Kingdom, and any person resident outside the United Kingdom should ensure that they are not subject to any local regulations before investing.

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £14,996,290

This is the fully-diluted pre-money valuation of the business (i.e. before the new investment comes in and including issued options and other equity interests). In contrast, the post-money valuation is based on inclusion of the new investment in the value.

It is calculated as the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new investment. e.g. If Company A is ascribed a pre-money valuation of £1,200,000 by prospective investors investing £300,000, its post-money valuation is £1,500,000.

The investee business is responsible for setting its own valuation, it has not been prescribed by Seedrs.

Pitch type

There are 5 types of investment pitch available on Seedrs.

  • Equity
  • Convertible
  • Fund
  • Cohort
  • Secondary

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Learn more about pitch type on Seedrs

Equity Offered

The equity offered is the percentage of the company’s shares being issued in return for the amount of investment raised.

When the amount raised is less than 100%, the equity offered is based on the target raise. Once the company has raised over 100% it is based on the total raised.

In some scenarios, entrepreneurs may accept additional direct investment after closing their Seedrs campaign. Provided this is within 6 months of the closing and on the same terms, we do not typically offer pre-emption rights on that extra investment (where you have the opportunity to invest again to maintain your percentage shareholding).

Learn more about investing and pre-emption rights.

Seedrs nominee

This shows if you are able to choose, when making an investment, that you be represented by, and your shareholding be managed by, the Seedrs nominee.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Seedrs will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Seedrs will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Seedrs will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Secondary market

This shows if the business has opted-in or opted-out of allowing its shares to be bought and sold on the secondary market.

Direct investment

This is an option to invest and hold shares 'directly' in the company (rather than via the Seedrs Nominee). This option is only available to those investing over the threshold amount, which is determined by the fundraising company.

If you choose to hold your shares directly, you will be responsible for any contractual or administrative arrangements with the company you are investing in.

Payment options

We are not able to accept card payments for investments into this sector. You can pay for your investment by creating a bank transfer, using funds in your investment account or create a Pay by Bank payment. Your investment will only be completed once the funds have reached our account.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale. As a result, the Campaign and post-investment experience, including investor rights, will differ from a business-led campaign on Seedrs. Most notably, the business will not engage with investors in the discussion forums both during and after the sale or provide any updates to investors.
