the pitch


Illuminating Lives & Transforming Health


Kineon began with a core mission to empower the largest number of people in the most impactful way, to take ownership of their health and quality of life. 


Our light therapy devices provide an effective alternative approach to pharmaceuticals – providing not a band-aid solution, but a genuine shift in how we approach pain relief.


With FDA clearance, 9,000+ units sold, and $3.5M+ in sales, we believe Kineon is quickly becoming one of the most effective solutions for chronic pain on the market.



The Problem & Our solution


The Chronic Pain Epidemic

Chronic pain is a debilitating condition that affects over 20% of adults in the United States, and severely impacts the lives of millions of people every day.


For too long, the answer to chronic pain has been temporary and costly solutions, such as pharmaceuticals, that simply mask the pain without addressing the root cause.


These solutions are not only ineffective but also carry harmful side effects, leaving people trapped in a cycle of pain long-term.


To date, there are now over 6,000 clinical studies showing the benefits of light therapy for a huge variety of conditions, including acute injuries (MCL, ACL, meniscus tear or sprain) as well as inflammatory conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tendinitis, and gout (Source).


Laser therapy has also proven to be very effective post-surgery to speed up recovery (Source | Source).



Affordable At-Home Laser Therapy

Traditional laser therapy devices can cost upwards of $15,000, making them inaccessible to many (Source). Meanwhile, most home-use devices rely solely on LED technology, lacking the penetrating power required for effective tissue targeting. 


Alternatives to laser therapy devices typically include costly surgeries, reliance on pharmaceutical drugs, or outdated R.I.C.E methods. 



That's why Kineon developed MOVE+ Pro: the next-generation laser therapy device that tackles chronic pain head-on in as little as 5 minutes. 


Unlike costly clinical treatments or ineffective home-use devices, MOVE+ Pro bridges the accessibility gap by offering sub-$500 pricing, optimal dosing, and a simple user experience. MOVE+ Pro works by combining LEDs and lasers in a narrower emission field, penetrating deep into the body for optimal dosing. 



Our wearable device works in direct contact with the skin, ensuring consistent and effective treatment. With MOVE+ Pro, individuals can manage their pain and inflammation at home, and take control over their health and quality of life.



the market & Our Traction


Bringing Light Therapy Home & Beyond


For decades, the potential of light therapy has been hindered by complex dosing and prohibitive costs. However, the correct dosing has required testing to optimize and the cost to produce laser devices has made it prohibitive for home use until the last 3 years. 


Our target market, the chronic pain market is expected to reach $142.5B by 2033 (Source). But thanks to recent advancements in VCSEL lasers, Kineon has created MOVE+, a battery-driven, wearable system that brings the power of light therapy into the comfort of your home. 


The market has responded with enthusiasm, as evidenced by our growth, delivering over 9,000 devices worldwide within just 9 months, increasing our monthly revenue to $400K. From September 2022 to May 2023, we saw our sales increase from $80K to $400K. As a consequence, our COGS experienced an increase from $13,452 to $63,784.


*The above testimonials may not be representative of the opinions or of the experiences of other users and is not a guarantee of future performance or success.


The MOVE+ has been endorsed by world-renowned athletes, medical professionals, and biohackers who are getting incredible results, and sharing their journey with millions of people all over the world.


We've partnered with athletes from 6 renowned professional sports leagues including the NFL, Soccer, CrossFit, NBA, MLB, and Rugby, earning support from elite athletes like Sara Sigmundsdottir and Brooke Wells (both Crossfit Games Athletes with 1.8M+ IG followers). 


*The above testimonials may not be representative of the opinions or of the experiences of other professional athletes and users and is not a guarantee of future performance or success.


With the medical community's overwhelming support, we've been able to launch a Medical Practitioner Reseller (MPR) program to better reach those who need our product the most.


Our operations have received FDA and FCC clearances, and we've continued to develop and scale our U.S. and ROW warehouses to streamline shipments. 


We've already designed and shipped multiple product upgrades since August 2022, and we're now preparing to launch our next cutting-edge product, the Gut+ later this year. This device can be a huge step forward in supporting common gut health-related issues, like IBS, Crohn's and Colitis.


Our next anticipated game-changer, the Brain+, is in the works, which aims to treat a range of common cognitive disorders like anxiety, depression, PTSD, Alzheimer's, and dementia.


*This is a rendering of GUT+ and BRAIN+. Images are computer-generated demo versions. The products are still currently under development and are not yet available on the market.


We aim to expand our reach from the medical community and professional sports leagues, to beyond, transforming lives, one MOVE+ at a time.

FAQS

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.

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.

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.
