NATION BUILDINGConnect. Vote. Build.

Investor Presentation

OUR PITCH• OneFeather combines e-voting with

messaging for mobile and web into a SaaS package.

• One million voting events in North America every years (civic, union, business, aboriginal, society, etc), mostly done with 19th century tech.

• Moving to e-voting lowers cost of gov’t, which lowers barriers to direct democracy.

• Registration for voting also creates registration for channelled/branded messaging.

THE TEAM• Lawrence Lewis

• First Nations Band Manager, Electoral Officer, serial entrepreneur

• Matthew Lehrner

• Web/Mobile programmer/project manager, 10+ years experience

• Damir Wallener

• Product management, politician, business dev, hardware/software designer, multiple startup exits

• We are the right team to execute this business plan because we combine hands-on gov’t/electoral experience with aboriginal relationships and strong technical capability.

ADVISORS• Currently looking at formalizing our Advisory Board

• Ross Tennant: Managing Partner, Coastal Developments, former Beduin/Sun Microsystems

• Bill Yoachim: Councillor, Nanaimo Regional District & Snuneymuxw First Nation

• Jason Corless: Professor, University of Victoria, Computer Science

• Brenna Latimer: Director of Communications, BC Treaty Commission

• Holes that need filling: Advisors who are (a) outside our geographical area, (b) well-versed in messaging apps/services, or (c) high level political experience (this one is in process of being filled).

MARKET OPPORTUNITY• There are ~1,000,000 elections in North America annually. (civic, labour, education,

aboriginal)

• At full market penetration a $999 SaaS e-voting solution generates $1B

• First sub-sector is aboriginal/First Nations (10,000 voting events). Target client is holding a leadership vote or internal referendum.

• Second sub-sector is labour unions (10,000 voting events). Target client is holding a leadership or contract ratification vote.

• They need cheap, easy to administer (IE, no IT dept.) elections. They have tightly defined voter ID requirements.

• Why now? In Q4’14, Damir door-knocked over 2,000 middle class doors during a mayoral campaign. 25% of responders (many retirees/seniors!) complained they couldn’t vote “on the internet”. The marketplace is ready for this!

MARKET PROBLEM

• “Everybody” wants e-voting, but requirements are not well-understood:

• Civic gov’t wants to spend less money, not more

• Civic gov’t doesn’t have the technical chops to make good vendor choices

• Civic employees don’t want to feel like their jobs are threatened

• Scytl is an example of an e-voting solution that Just Doesn’t Work - expensive and contractor-heavy

OUR SOLUTION

• OneFeather solves all these problems with an e-voting platform that saves money, unburdens civic IT dep’ts, and protects existing employees.

• SaaS platform makes e-voting implementation easy, and reduces overall election cost

• Focusing on Aboriginal and Labour allows for rapid entry into “friendly” markets

• Allowing existing electoral staff to manage the e-voting preserves their jobs, removing additional barriers to adoption.

• Focusing on sub-sectors where we have existing relationships, allows establishing credibility one election event at a time

• Extensive market validation by the next municipal election cycle (2018).

TRACTION• 80% electronic voting adoption for Malahat FN’s February constitutional referendum (Land Code). News of

this success is already driving numerous other voting engagements for Q2:

• In place:

• Malahat, Sucker Creek, and Kyuquot/Chekleseht Nations

• In active contract negotiation:

• Lake Babine, Wetsuweten and Denee Nations

• At the proposal stage:

• Cheam, Haisla and Toquaht Nations

• Branded messaging in place for Tribal Journeys and Aboriginal Tourism BC, with negotiations under way with BC Metis Association.

• We have gotten this far with no accelerator program, no external investment, no buzz-generation. Join us in taking the next step!

MARKET FIT/COMPETITION• Our biggest competitor is the status quo - paper elections at physical polling stations.

• Marketplace example: Area E, Cowichan Valley Regional District.

• 1,500 residents, costs ~$20,000 to hold an Area-wide vote.

• Governance requirements mandate a vote for many spending proposals, but many spending proposals involve less money than it would cost to hold the vote -> so many issues aren’t dealt with.

• If overall cost of voting reduces to $5k, it enables more effective, responsive government. This represents a fundamental change in customer behaviour.

• OneFeather can hit that cost target with 75% e-voting adoption.

• Nobody is offering a solution for this scale of gov’t, and this is where the vast majority of election events occur.

• By solving this problem, we build our credibility from the grass-roots up, which will greatly ease the cost and time of lobbying more senior levels of gov’t.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

• Once someone has entrusted you with a council vote or their contract ratification vote, they will trust you with anything.

• We are very politically active. It would take less than 48 hours to get a motion on the floor regarding e-voting at number of regional gov’ts.

• We are just starting to look at IP, but everywhere Damir has worked, IP has followed.

• Barriers to entry: Voting is a highly emotional event. The technological problems are well-understood, what the marketplace is waiting for is a cheap, and trustworthy solution. The latter is the real barrier.

REVENUE MODEL

• Revenue is from holding election events for $999

• Election events typically recur on 2-4 year cycles

• Immediate “cash” collections - credit card/PayPal

• For the market sector, we are after high volume

• Looking at 2018 BC municipal election cycle:

• Approximately 2,000 election events on one day

• At $999 per event = $2M

EXPENSE/MARKETING• Need to up-staff development for 3 months to reach next technical/revenue milestone.

• Pre-funding clients: personal visits, custom contract, relatively high cost to acquire

• Post-funding clients: directed to a landing page, low cost to acquire

• Sanctioned by senior gov’t by EOY 2017 will lock in clients and minimizing acq. costs

• OneFeather has unique relationships with First Nations (Canada & US) and regional civic gov’t
