Idea

Introduction

Centaur Robotics is reimagining mobility for the 10% of the global population that cannot walk 400 metres without assistance, a £7 billion global opportunity. The company combines convenient service with stunning two-wheeled vehicle design to create a new mobility proposition for individuals as well as global brands in airlines, shopping centres, retirement living plus hotels and restaurants.

Following the successful investment round in 2020, Centaur Robotics is raising the final £65,000 of our seed equity round for the completion of pre-production market trials, design optimisation, large scale trials and production scale-up. The company has commercial traction prior to the planned full commercial launch in June 2024.

Monetisation strategy

Our strategy is that the sale of the Centaur vehicle will represent 97% of the company's future revenue. From our competitor analysis, our vehicle price is less than two-wheeled vehicle direct competitors (Scewo, iBot, OMEO) but we are a premium price to four wheeled vehicles (existing wheelchairs and mobility scooters). Our premium price to existing power-chairs and scooters is supported by our award winning design (Royal College of Art's Design Age Institute, Blue Badge Access Awards, China's Design Intelligence finalist, Future of Ageing at V&A Dundee and London Design Museum) and our superior agility (rising/lowering seat, tight turning circle, very narrow silhouette to fit doorways, intuitive, non-intrusive proprietary steering that is not based on Segway technology).

Service support revenue represents the remaining three percent of Centaur's year one revenue.

Our plans for future revenue streams include the introduction of data services to customers as a value added service.

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £4,247,675

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.

Find out more

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.
