Hybrid Energy pre-seed overview

Our pre-seed round now starts at ₱80,000 through our Founding Patron tier, with a current range of ₱80,000 – ₱200,000 via a convertible note that converts to equity at Series A with a 20% early-backer discount. Individual angel participants start at ₱250,000, with syndicate and strategic distribution partners ranging up to ₱2,000,000. All tiers accommodate both direct equity and convertible instruments depending on investor profile.

Our downspout micro-turbine housing, blade profile design, and hybrid switching controller are protected as Utility Models with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL). Seed capital will fund additional design patent filings.

Based on a conservative run-rate of ₱8M in annual installations, the company is projected to achieve operational break-even by Month 10 post-funding. Margins expand significantly as recurring SaaS and annual O&M revenues accumulate.

To align long-term value, pre-seed investors in PRIME Hybrid Energy are granted allocation rights or share-swap options into sibling ventures (BIG 4 Expo, ICKY, Prime Axis, Thrifty Tribe) as detailed in the master shareholder agreement.

We are registered in the Philippines as a private corporation. The corporate structure separates the primary EPC operations from sibling platform ventures while offering unified investor oversight and consolidated reporting for pre-seed shareholders.

The Investor Profile Tool on this page uses three answers you provide - your target allocation range, primary focus area, and investment horizon - to match you to one of four defined pre-seed tiers: Founding Patron, Angel Participant, Syndicate / Regional Partner, or Strategic Partner. Each tier has a fixed benefits package and an illustrative value-multiple projection derived from our financial model. No personal data is collected or stored — your selections are saved temporarily in your browser session only and cleared when you close the tab. The tool is designed to help you understand which entry point best aligns with your goals; final terms are always negotiated individually under NDA.

Pre-seed investors can realise returns through three pathways: (1) Dividend distributions starting in Year 2 at a 30% net-profit payout ratio; (2) Secondary share transfer to a new incoming investor at a negotiated premium (anticipated during Series A outreach in Years 3–4); or (3) Strategic acquisition by a larger utilities, EPC, or fintech group. The company targets a full Visayas-scale exit event in the 5–7 year window, with an implied valuation of ₱60M–₱120M based on conservative 5–10x net-profit multiples.

Direct competitors in Western Visayas include small solar EPC shops (Solaric, SunAsia resellers) and hardware distributors. None offer a factory-built rainwater micro-turbine integrated into a hybrid controller. Our moat is threefold: (1) Proprietary rain-hydro IP — a Utility Model covering the blade profile and switching controller; (2) SaaS lock-in — the ₱1,200–₱3,600/mo monitoring platform creates annual recurring revenue that pure-hardware competitors cannot replicate; (3) Regional distribution network — relationships with agri-resort operators, LGUs, and barangay captains across Capiz and Antique give us first-mover customer acquisition cost advantages.

Residential and farm solar installations below 100 kWp follow standard MERALCO / local distribution utility net-metering rules and a building permit from the local government unit. Our hybrid controller is classified as a micro-generation device — no DOE special permit required below 100 kWp. For the rain-hydro component, a Local Water Utility Administration (LWUA) clearance is required for any system diverting rainwater from a municipal supply, though most of our off-grid installations use private catchment only. We estimate a 4–6 week permitting window per installation, already factored into our project timeline. Seed capital includes a legal retainer specifically for regulatory liaison.
