- 8. The Solution – Phase II Phase II - Enhancing the innovative & creative capacity of the corporation’s information system The idea here is to use AI & deep learning to develop smart algorithms that will allow the corporation’s information system to provide “creative ideas” This phase is still in early stages of development; due to IP-related issues, only limited details can be provided at this stage! This has a huge potential to pave the road for a new genre of “creative machines” and human-computer interface (HCI) Beam Riders © 2017 - Confidential & Proprietary
- 9. Competition Landscape In the innovation management systems market, leading players include Imaginatik, Qmarkets and others All seem to focus on stages 2&3 of the value chain In the cognitive brain-training market, leading players include Lumos Labs, Cognifit, Peak and others All seem to focus on executive-function skills e.g. memory, attention, planning, focus, speed etc. These skills are relatively easy to measure and boost NONE focuses on innovation or creative thinking. These skills are far more tricky to measure let alone to boost; hence the innovation of Beams! Beam Riders © 2017 - Confidential & Proprietary

- 28. IMPACT IMAGINE a world where people halt reactivity and irritation before they hurt others, think before they act, fall asleep at night, focus, breathe deeply without stopping what they are doing….Where an ACES score of 9 doesn’t mean a lifetime of physical and mental health crisis… IMAGINE you, your loved ones, your co-workers having access to stress relief anytime, anywhere for $135 or $240.
- 29. IMPACT IMAGINE Global communities having access to stress relief immediately after a crisis and the first responders use them too… Giving these to your mother-in-law at holidays… Or a 3 year old right before a tantrum… A college student during an exam… A foster child who has just been moved to a new home… An autistic child so they can regulate during school… Your dog when she freaks out during a lightning storm… This is not just another device. This is LIFE CHANGING and it can CHANGE THE WORLD. Thank you!
