Our mission is Finding, Funding, and Scaling a new generation of technology companies with breakthrough innovations that can deliver greener, more sustainable, more efficient and effective manufacturing and use of products in an industry, that will benefit the world when broadly adopted and lay a foundation for bringing advanced manufacturing back to America.
Over the next 10 years, COTE will invest billions of dollars in this new generation of technology companies in a better way — a new paradigm — to inspire the entrepreneurs and the innovations that will build a better world for humanity and ensure our nation is not left behind.
Investing in the future of America in this way is driven by a core belief and faith — demonstrated time and time again throughout the course of our nation’s blessed history — that the more value we create in the world through broad adoption of breakthrough innovations, the more value we create for our nation, our people, and our investors.
Breakthrough IP
That Is Green
Transforms manufacturing into a high growth, highly profitable business through greater efficiency and effectiveness
Reduces carbon footprint/greenhouse gas emissions, use of natural resources, and toxic chemicals and their discharge
Rejuvenates/recycles post-consumer and post-industrial waste for use in making the same products vs. downgraded uses
Makes Economic Sense
The opportunity of a lifetime
Green is no longer a nice to have, its a must have, that transforms manufacturing into a high growth, highly profitable business through greater efficiency in resource use.
This transformation is happening in virtually every industry driven by fast growing demand for green manufacturing and products, under pressure from governments and the public.
The next generation of unicorns — companies valued at a billion dollars or more — will be led by technology companies transforming how products are made and used in an industry.
Finding, Funding, and Scaling
Breakthrough Innovations
We provide capital for scaling a breakthrough technology company’s manufacturing and operations to meet customer demand as they enter markets and beyond, backed by their “brick and mortar” assets, including new product designs, know-how, and proprietary manufacturing equipment and contracts.
Asset Backed.
We receive a percentage of a company's revenues ("IP royalty" or "revenue share") to provide our investors with an annual cash yield, paid quarterly, plus a percentage of a future company exit (IPO, sale) to buyout the royalty, leaving equity ownership and control in the hands of the entrepreneurs building it.
Dividend Paying.
We provide IP management, technology, and operations support to protect, optimize, and scale the use of a company's IP assets, and we bring a shared technology platform for integrating smart manufacturing into the company's operations to optimize performance, profitability, and quality.
