Award-winning hardware founder · now an AI platform factory

I built an award-winning device.
Then I rebuilt the company as a factory that builds companies.

CloviTek started with a man who arrived in America with almost nothing and shipped a CES 2018 Innovation Award Honoree audio device. The hardware era taught a hard, capital-hungry lesson. Today that lesson is an automated pipeline: idea → research → business plan → full-stack SaaS → deck → launch.

CES 2018 Innovation Award Honoree
Commercial Integrator BEST Award · InfoComm 2018
Built at Lassonde Institute, University of Utah
SEC Form D filed to raise up to $1M (CIK 0001802262)

Awards belong to the founder's prior hardware venture (CloviTek Inc.) — shown as heritage/credibility, not as awards of the current AI platform.

The origin story

The why

Ukraine-born, raised in an orphanage and foster care, arrived in the US in 2005 with roughly a dollar in his pocket. An electronics engineer (Chernivtsi State, 2002; UVU CS, 2009; University of Utah MBA, 2016). The motto, verbatim: "I am a simple man with complex ambitions."

The first product — CloviFi

A WiFi/Bluetooth HD audio transmitter that streams TV audio to your own phone or headphones — conceived at a gym where he couldn't hear the TV. Built not just for convenience but for the 360 million people with hearing loss the market ignored. Built with dev partner Diffco out of the Lassonde Institute.

The recognition Real

CES 2018 Innovation Award Honoree (not "Best of Innovation"), a Commercial Integrator BEST Award at InfoComm 2018, coverage in Sound & Vision and audioXpress, booth interviews at CES 2018 & 2019 (Eureka Park).

The honest middle Real

SEC Form D filed Feb 2020 to raise up to $1M (amount sold at filing: $0; CIK 0001802262). Around 2022, hardware operations ceased amid COVID and funding constraints. In 2026, relaunched as CloviTek, an AI SaaS factory.

The thesis — and the differentiator

One award-winning device taught us how slow and capital-hungry a single physical product is. So we rebuilt the company around that lesson.

Then vs. now

Then: I paid a CPA $2,000 to assemble my books and filings. Now: my agents do it — financials, research, business plans, decks, even this data room — produced by the same automation that builds the products. The factory generated its own due-diligence package.

The moat

Every product shares auth/SSO, billing, CDN, charts, narration, and lead infrastructure. Shared infra + cross-sell = compounding margin. The factory itself is the product — and it's sellable as the Investor Starter Kit you're using right now.

The ask Indicative

Raising $75K–$150K to accelerate code-generation + mobile and add a second engineer — not required to launch; bootstrappable to first ~$10K MRR, raising from a position of traction.

Indicative range, not a fixed target or a securities offer. Pre-revenue; figures are labeled assumptions. SEC Form D for the prior hardware entity (CIK 0001802262) is historical and unrelated.
