the pitch


From Ford To The Future 


While the Saleen S1 is brand new, the Saleen business is far from new. The company has a 40-year history with the Ford Motor Company, where they design, develop, manufacture, and sell high-performance vehicles based on the chassis of the Ford Mustang, Ford F-150, and new Ford Bronco. While these Ford vehicles are part of the Saleen Signature Series, we are continuing our Saleen Original Series with the Saleen S1, a two-seater sports car entirely designed and developed by Saleen Automotive. 


Saleen is led by Steve Saleen, who is recognized worldwide for his expertise in specialized vehicle manufacturing, vehicle certification processes, and mass customization. In total, Steve Saleen has been an inventor to 25 patents across multiple facets of automobile design, development, and manufacturing.






The Problem & Our solution


Introducing the Saleen Original Series Nationwide


Bringing a new series of vehicles to the marketplace is almost impossible unless you are a large, established, global manufacturer. However, Saleen has been making original vehicles for years, commencing with the Saleen S7 Supercar in 2000, Ford GT 2004-2006, and the Dodge Viper.  




The Saleen S1 is the next chapter in the Saleen Original Series. Seeing the need for a true “Driver’s Car,” Steve Saleen and team started with a clean sheet of paper and designed the S1 based on 40 years of racing experience.



**The Saleen S1 is in the prototype phase and is not currently available on the market.


THE MARKET & OUR TRACTION


First Place Growth In The Luxury Car Premium Performance Market


We believe Saleen is positioned well in a growing market, as the luxury premium performance car market was estimated to be $617 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2023 to 2030, reaching over $1 trillion by 2030.  Saleen hopes to capitalize on this growth by launching the Saleen Original Series, first with the S1 and then introducing additional models in the following years. Saleen is continuing to see strong demand throughout  the pandemic and is optimistic about the growth of its largest revenue stream, the Saleen Signature Series. (Source, Source)


Saleen generates revenue  by designing, developing, and manufacturing automobiles. Currently, the majority of our revenue comes from the Saleen Signature Series, which includes globally popular Ford automobiles such as the Ford Mustang, Ford F-150, and Ford Bronco.  The company’s newest revenue stream will come from the production and sales of the Saleen Original Series, which are designed, developed, and produced entirely in-house by Saleen Automotive.



SALEEN DISTRIBUTION


We believe Saleen has a significant advantage in the marketplace over new competitors because of our existing distribution channels. We’ve established a dealership network of 80 Ford dealers and are continuously expanding as needed. By utilizing these dealers, Saleen has direct access into an existing customer base that provides tremendous opportunities. We also plan to open additional “Saleen Premiere” dealerships specifically aimed at marketing the Saleen Original Series like the S1. Saleen Premiere dealerships, much like the Ford dealers, are full service dealers that offer financing, service, and warranty. In addition to the dealership distribution model, Saleen also plans to expand on its previous 3e concept (Irvine) and open additional Saleen 3e centers at select locations. Saleen 3e Centers are direct to consumer showrooms (3e = Entertain, Educate, and Experience) that showcase the vehicles and the entire Saleen experience. 


*Saleen S7


With its 40 year racing legacy, it makes perfect sense for Saleen to be present at appropriate racing venues to further expand its reach. By utilizing  “Ride and Drives,” potentially new customers will be able to experience the awesome Saleen S1 first hand and turn the “interested” into “buyers.”

WHY INVEST


The Past, Present, & Future of Automobiles


We believe Saleen is an established and extremely successful company, meaning an investor will invest not only in a new car series, but also in a company already generating revenue through its relationship with Ford Motor Company, including a 40-year history of racing and manufacturing. In addition to this, an investor will be getting a stake in the Saleen Original Series, starting with the S1, a high-performance American-made two-seater sports car entirely developed and designed by Saleen Automotive.  


Saleen is fundraising to bring the S1 to market and eventually launch other cars in the Saleen Original Series. Investments in Saleen will help with S1 development, certification, manufacturing, the launch of Saleen 3e Centers, and the expansion of Saleen Original Series with other models.


Join Saleen and bring a new line of high-performance cars to the world! We create experiences, relationships, and lifestyles, centered around innovative, stylish, and high performance vehicles.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment.

StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC.

StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”) is our investor trading platform. SE Secondary is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (“ATS”) operated by SE Primary that matches orders for buyers and sellers of securities. It allows investors to trade shares purchased through Regulation A+, Regulation Crowdfunding, or Regulation D for companies who have engaged StartEngine Secure LLC as their transfer agent. The term “Rapid,” when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace, specifically refers to transactions that are facilitated on SE Secondary, This is because, unlike with trades on the StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”), trades on SE Secondary are executed the moment that they are matched.

StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”) is a bulletin board platform on which users can indicate to each other their interest to buy or sell shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings not necessarily through SE Primary. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about such private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. All investment opportunities on SE BB are based on indicated interest from sellers and will need to be confirmed. Even if parties express mutual interest to enter into a trade on SE BB, a trade will not immediately result because execution is subject to additional contingencies, including among others, effecting of the transfer of the shares from the potential seller to the potential buyer by the issuer and/or transfer agent. SE BB is distinct and separate from SE Secondary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. By contrast, under SE BB, SE Primary assists with the facilitation of a potential resulting trade off platform including, by among other things, approaching the issuer and other necessary parties in relation to the potential transaction. The term “Extended”, when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace denotes that these transactions are conducted via SE BB, and that these transactions may involve longer processing times compared to SE Secondary for the above-stated reasons.

Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on SE Marketplace, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.

The availability of company information does not indicate that the company has endorsed, supports, or otherwise participates with StartEngine. It also does not constitute an endorsement, solicitation or recommendation by StartEngine. StartEngine does not (1) make any recommendations or otherwise advise on the merits or advisability of a particular investment or transaction, (2) assist in the determination of the fair value of any security or investment, or (3) provide legal, tax, or transactional advisory services.
