Legacy Global Companies, Inc.

“Lasers are displacing conventional technologies because they can do the job faster,   better, and more economically.” Coherent 2022 - Global Laser Leader
THE CHALLENGE:   The initial industry for this technology continues to face high energy costs associated with roasting coffee and its product emissions (smoke & particulate matter),  requiring additional energy expenditures. The National Coffee Association states, “FDA is clamping down on the U.S. coffee industry for their product emissions.”

THE SOLUTION:   We provide a carbon-neutral approach that offers substantial energy cost savings resulting in higher profitability. The opportunity expands over four major industry sectors, coffee, cocoa, fruit & nuts, and agriculture, representing an overall CAGR of 6.2%. Our advanced laser technology roasts coffee, consuming 87.5% less energy and delivering zero emissions, thus providing a “Green and Clean” process.

THE OPPORTUNITY:   Diversified holds a combined total of 128 global patents pending along with a U.S. Patent for their laser technology,  positioned within market sectors totaling $750 trillion U.S. dollars. The initial industry for this technology continues to face high energy costs associated with roasting coffee and its product emissions,  requiring additional energy expenditures of 1.5 million BTUs of energy.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: The patents and pending patents were developed by our law firm, Nixon Peabody, to eliminate  competition, including “workaround attempts.”  Our partnerships with the leading design firm Cambridge Design Partnership, located in the U.K., and our U.S. manufacturer of lasers, Optical Engines, position Diversified as a positive disrupter by providing a choice that can benefit all. Our team achieved scale on one-pound batches this year (2022)—investment to date of $1.5M+ in addition to $1.8M of sweat equity.

THE MODEL:  Our sales platform, CoffeeTec.com, is owned and operated by Legacy Global Companies. CoffeeTec.com is the largest eCommerce platform in the world of coffee roasting equipment, both new and used. There are 70,000 unique visitors on a global basis per month. Our database of over 22,000 roasting operators has opted in for education, ongoing equipment needs, and technical support. Since Legacy Global owns both companies, thereby providing revenues and profits from two separate divisions within the same company to compound returns. Diversified Laser Technology (DLT) will manufacture and sell roasters for profit through CoffeeTec.com distribution.

THE TEAM: (This platform will not allow pictures or bios which we have.)

THE ASK: 20% of Legacy Global Companies, Inc. stock for $5.0M on a current valuation of $25.0M. 

The investment will be used to produce scaled roaster models for sales while simultaneously building out the teams’ infrastructure for CoffeeTec.com and Diversified Laser Technologies. We plan to use a 3-Year convertible note with a 15% discount and a 5% interest rate. This will be a rolling close. A subsequent raise of $5.0M will follow the deployment of this initial $5.0M investment raise.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY ZONE INVESTMENT - if a taxpayer sells an asset for $5 million, which then results in a $5 million capital gain, the investors can invest the proceeds into a Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund. As long as this happens within 180 days of the sale, the investor can avoid capital gains taxation.
