Challenges to 21st Century Networks
The Root Cause of These Challenges
3
• The Internet was designed for ease of
communication between trusted peers, not security
• Engineers have been working for the past 20 years
to bolt security onto a fundamentally insecure
structure
• The ensuing Rube Goldberg machine will function
only as long as quantum computers remain offline
• Hundreds of billions invested in job-specific, bolt-on
solutions
Silicon Valley is seldom accused of lacking
ambition, but in the case of security, few
pitches that promise to revolutionize anything
in cybersecurity make it to a live meeting with
investors. Instead, venture-capital firms have
chased relatively quick wins from marginally
improving existing cybersecurity products.

Apollo’s OpportunityApollo provides a disruptive paradigm for transmitting mission-critical data across the Internet
The Apollo solution integrates security, resilience, and high performance into the very fabric of the network
Cyber-resilience becomes a profit center rather than a cost center when the network becomes a competitive advantage
What Problems Does Apollo Solve?
Critical Infrastructure Military / Government Corporate / Commercial
Passing telemetry data
between IPPs and ISOs
Network provision at 80%
cost savings
Bandwidth usage auditable
Gateway hardware is off-the-
shelf and affordable
Software can be embedded
in devices
Invited to Trident Spectre
trials four years running –
laudable success
High-resolution satellite
imagery transferred quickly
and securely over public
Internet
Applications for offensive
cyberwarfare is an option
Superior and cost-effective
VPN replacement solution
Secures data in motion
between branch offices –
enterprise, retail, financial
services, etc.
Applicable for inexpensive,
high-quality VoIP and video
conferencing

Every alternative energy supplier and
independent power producer (IPP) must
establish a connection to the regional grid
coordinator (ISO)
Network connections must be secure and
allow real-time updates regarding
generation capacity and end customer
demand
Standard process is to establish a custom
connection to an MPLS private network –
hardware is expensive and slow to set up
MPLS represents a major opex line for
IPPs
With more small generators (e.g., rooftop
solar) and storage providers (e.g., idled
Teslas), the ISO cannot manage grid
resources using MPLS technology
Apollo’s software paired with inexpensive
off-the-shelf hardware allows alternative
energy providers to connect to ISO
network using standard Internet circuits
Connection to ISO can be established
quickly and at greatly reduced capex to
IPPs
Apollo’s solution is as performant and
reliable as an MPLS network, reduces IPP
opex, and offers greater auditing capability
to ISOs
Apollo software could be embedded as
firmware on small generation and storage
devices, allowing the ISO to manage its
extended grid much more efficiently and
securely
Customer Problem Apollo’s Solution
Case Study Distributed Power Generation IoT
Control Layer
Apollo Client Apollo Gateway
Non- Apollo Clients
Underlying IP /
Transport Network
Apollo Virtual Network Overlaid on top
of existing IP / Transport Network
• Control layer directs messages in dynamically changing independent paths through
waypoints (“deflects”)
• Dynamic paths allow for integrated security – hackers can’t reassemble split-streams
of unique sessions into usable messages – even with a Quantum Computer
• Control layer converts & meters UDP transmission through most efficient paths –
routing around network jams
7
How Does Apollo Work?• Each packet is AES 256-bit encrypted and
each transmission path uses a different
encryption key
• Transmission method completely changes a
network’s attack surface – security through
dispersion
• As performant and reliable as MPLS and
more secure, all while using the public
Internet

Missed Revenue Opportunities: Current management has snatched defeat from the jaws of sales
victory time and again despite strongly positive technical assessments by potential customers.
Lack of Discipline: The company has raised nearly $90mm from angel investors who have not been
supported by an accountable board.
Terrible Management: The management
have paid themselves more in bonuses in 30
months than the firm has taken in in revenues.
Travel expenses are averaging $48,000 /
month. No new bookings or deals in the last
12 months. CEO, CRO, CTO, CFO, and CMO
all overpaid and unqualified.
