Demand Derivatives Corp.

OVERVIEW
Derivatives markets transact $10 trillion per day.  This amount is 10,000 times bigger than Amazon customers buy each day.
Derivatives trading is a massive market.
The CME is the largest futures exchange in the world.  They have a market cap of $65b and a 91% market share of futures in the U.S. -- a near monopoly.
The team at Demand Derivatives has figured out how to break through that monopoly and offer better products (much lower risk, much lower cost).

PROBLEM
The current design of derivative instruments put traders at risk of default and the financial system at potential risk of collapse (think of 2008).  If trading on our exchange were successful, such catastrophic economic "storms" are not possible.  Traders will have defined and manageable losses.  The entire industry needs our solution.

UNDERLYING ASSETS
We will trade traditional assets in all major asset classes:  gold in metals, crude oil in energy, corn in agriculture, 10yr T-Notes in interest rates, euro in foreign exchange, and a major stock index in equity indices).  In time, we will add others.  There are no plans for trading crypto.

THE TEAM
Our team has over 100 years' combined experience in the industry.  We have an executive from the BATS exchange, and a former official from the Chicago Fed, and a former executive from Morgan Stanley, all on the board.  Our president helped design risk management protocols for large investment banks.  Our general counsel held positions at the CFTC, NASD, and several investment banks, all positions focusing on derivatives.

CAPITAL NEEDS
We are focusing our capital raising efforts at$3m.  This amount will get us to launch.  The second $3m (needed in about six months), will mainly help make the launch successful. ($6m total round A)  Right after launch, we are expecting to raise $20m (round B) to take the company through the startup phase to sustainability.   We have several interested parties for the $20m capital raise.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The money will be mainly used for regulatory licenses, technology install/testing, IP protection, setting up operations & controls, and preliminary marketing.
