Quanta

Bartosz Solowiej was born in Poland during the communist revolution.  His family came to the US as refugees in 1984. As a Polish-born naturalized US Citizen, he's come to deeply appreciate the value of diverse perspectives.  As an adult, he traveled to Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Nepal, and India with his five children in order to cultivate this wisdom firsthand. His closest friends and colleagues will attest to the extent that he strives for the betterment of humankind in all he pursues.  His heartfelt commitment to humanity is clearly evident throughout his entrepreneurship in finance reform within Quanta Ventures; his novel research within The World Bank; his service on the local Professional Alpine Ski Patrol, and his painting and sculpture within the fine art community.  By cultivating integrity, compassion, and emotional intelligence despite adversity, he is determined to bring opportunity for others to do the same, the world over.

Quanta offers high-yield private micro-funds that produce dependable dividends to customers through a SaaS model.  Quanta's AI investment solution gives organizations and individuals access to a basic income model capable of compounding at over 700% annual returns on investment.  

Quanta provides small capital micro-funds for mission critical non-profit organizations and endeavors financial perpetuity for its customers. Quanta's goal is to support regenerative financing for individuals, municipalities, non-profits, and non-governmental organizations whose mission is tied to the stability and protection of critical human systems: those whose purpose is not explicitly for profit.  

Imagine a school, village, humanitarian project, and social service program with its own private fund capable of supplementing operating revenue, enabling growth, and expanding its reach in communities throughout the world, especially in developing countries where banking and financing instability continues to stifle opportunity for the less fortunate. 

Quanta provides private universal basic income in earnest.

Quanta is solving the problem of access to a high-yield automated trade execution platform capable of accurate predictive analysis at global scale.  Furthermore, Quanta is solving the problem of presentation and productization of a blackbox infrastructure required to ensure the success of our customers.  

Quanta's solution stands apart from similar order management systems on the market today.  It doesn't put the onus on the customer to understand complex market dynamics and strategies.  Instead, customers with minimal investment capital and limited experience will leverage Quanta using a mobile application interface, which abstracts complexity behind an intuitive interface. 

Quanta's current problem is scaling our execution and order management platform to account for our customer wait-list.  Soon after, Quanta will expand the platform into international markets and offer traditional securities while continuing to work toward the development of public equity funds for municipal use. In the long run, public equity funds will supplement funding for health care, municipal programs, and provide communities with opportunities to supplement regional funding through the use of public regenerative capital investments (public equity funds).  

People will have access to universal basic income through regional programs designed for perpetuating the most essential systems for human health and safety.

Quanta monitors and leverages cryptocurrency exchange accounts using a sophisticated fund management AI infrastructure.  Quanta tracks accounts using automated strategic investment algorithms that earned over 100% returns in the most recent six months among pilot-program customers.  To protect customers, Quanta enforces a human-in-the-loop process for all strategic trade execution.  

Quanta has in-house legal and trading oversight from partners.  Our processes are governed by regimented oversight and bound to regulatory standards. Despite these protections, all investments suffer occasional loss.  For this reason, Quanta insures itself against liability for excessive losses. 

Quanta believes in customer education and stands for self-empowerment.  Quanta gives customers access to the Quanta Institute: an online academy that offers curated courses on alt-currency markets, investments, and strategies.  Quanta focuses on empowerment through education and product experience design to maximize the benefits of micro-funding and extend opportunities to as many as possible.  

Quanta earns operating revenue based on performance; customers share a percentage of revenue with Quanta from their realized gains, invoiced monthly.

Quanta is serving communities in three phases. Each subsequently builds upon the previous customer layer.  Currently, Quanta is serving a small set of mostly friends, family, and professionals, who have a variety of investment experience. Most have a strong desire to earn dividends that supplement retirement income from personal wealth and all want to mitigate losses due to current economic restrictions.  

Quanta will onboard customers in batches to build a performance track record prior to phase two: small nonprofits and NGOs.  Quanta engages with all customers 1-on-1.  Interviews determine risk and target revenue goals.  

Quanta tracks results in immutable account transaction ledgers.  Customers have a performance record that documents their gains.  Quanta markets primarily through word of mouth. Quanta discloses general performance metrics to new customers and leverages viral market effects to attract and nurture new relationships.  

As Quanta matures, it will offer a more formal legal process, offering customers with better protections, shelters, and compliance atop individual investment accounts. This is similar to protections provided in trust funds. Ultimately, in phase three, Quanta will offer a mobile application for account management across markets and exchanges.  Quanta will offer a packaged API product to select financial institutions.

Quanta is breaking ground by offering access to high growth investment tools that are traditionally out of reach for private individuals, small businesses, municipalities, small non-profits, and nascent NGOs.

Quanta believes that it will support emerging markets for services that are critical to the health of societies around the world.  Quanta impacts society much like the Grameen Banking system.

Quanta seeks to establish public equity funds that leverage capital for the benefit of a specific individuals and not-for-profit enterprises. These capital funds are managed by a software service product that automates trades using a sophisticated proprietary strategic infrastructure.

Four years ago, after years of entrepreneurship, investing, and trading, the founders' personal frustration with the rising costs of health and community services became overwhelming.  They observed friends and family members struggling to find accessible resources due to financial limitations.  

Independently, their lifelong skills in programming, business, and individual investment led to extensive experimentation with technical analysis algorithms in cryptocurrency markets.  Eventually their mutual interests led the founders to meet one another.  Together, they began accurately predicting market movements with novel quantitative strategies.  

They invested in the markets.  They realized staggering percentage gains.  They researched solutions to automate our processes.  They spoke with prospective customers and beneficiaries.  The pieces fit.  The founders decided to formalize their efforts by forming Quanta Ventures in 2019.  

What began as a small pilot client base quickly escalated into a wait-list of clients all awaiting the automation and formal release of our software product. Now, Quanta is feverishly developing infrastructure and positioning itself to support expansion by reaching out to investors (and MIT).

People deserve better.  Quanta is channeling abundance to opportunities that lead to a better and more equitable world for mankind in harmony with Nature and the Earth.  Community resources deserve a shot at protection through perpetual funding.  Quanta puts money to work to help people live better lives.  Quanta challenges the notion that actuarial models impose on society through insurance premiums and pay-to-play schemes that capitalize on risk aversion.  

Quanta intentionally eschews corporate investments and private equity in favor of performance-based returns for the benefit of our communities.  Quanta combats rising cost-of-living and protect the integrity of health, environmental, social, and human services with our mission.  Quanta's long-term target customers are nonprofits critical to human welfare. Quanta imagines how humanity will benefit from a clean water fund, a regional health fund, a reforestation fund, a mental health fund, community agriculture fund, and so on.  

Quanta dares to be different, challenges the financial status quo, and takes bold steps to leverage for-profit capital markets and securities to benefit small communities of change-making luminaries worldwide. Quanta is a bridge between income inequalities.

Quanta's founding members are lifelong professional entrepreneurs.  They've built multi-million dollar products backed by top-tier investors.  They've endured extremely difficult circumstances and overcome failures with persistence and tenacity. They've traveled the world extensively to teach their children to understand humanity.  They are capable and creative individuals with a lifetime of experience. Thay are disciplined, thoughtful, compassionate, and emotionally intelligent. 

Professionally, the founding team members are skilled in computation, infrastructure, business development, and customer relationship management. They understand the meaning of "endeavor" and apply ourselves to problem solving and product development with a sense of life-long devotion and purpose.  They realize that we have the tools, the strategies, and the collective will to develop a successful product together that has the power to augment the course of human history in a market ripe for execution. 

Quanta's principals are also technical leaders in major corporations: the director of design was formerly lead designer at Uber and now works at Apple; the director of business development is a lifelong sales executive and PhD-level academic; the director of strategy is an algorithms expert at Lockheed-Martin. 

Quanta's supporting advisers are professionals with years of financial experience. Quanta has an advisory partnership with a multi-million dollar private investment fund. Together, Quanta is well-equipped to deliver on its promise to customers, reach novel emerging communities, and make a lasting impact on the world.

Just as David stared down Goliath, Quanta is faced with the peril of disrupting consumer and small business funding, donning a slingshot that takes critical shots at the financial establishment by funneling capital to underrepresented individuals, groups, and organizations in any economy. As a small and unknown company, Quanta is facing imposing regulatory bodies head-on. 

Regulatory governance threatens Quanta by enforcing taxation, investing restrictions, and audit. Quanta is keenly focusing on this potentially ruinous outcome. Quanta has operated "under the radar" for years to ensure that its core IP has the legs to support its ambitions. Quanta has a spectacular corporate counsel. It's also maintaining an immutable block ledger of transactions. Quanta's ledgers provide reputable auditing and reporting tools that may eventually meet municipal IFMIS requirements. 

Quanta's CTO also conducts technical research and consults as a technical expert for developing world governments using Big Data IFMIS AI solutions at The World Bank. 

Overall, Quanta manages regulatory, engineering, strategy and business development setbacks by distilling the issues and working carefully through problems. 

Financially, Quanta is currently compensating for limited funding by offering consulting services to businesses and publishing research on AI.

Quanta chooses the "right" thing over the quick fix--integrity and truth over smoke and mirrors.  It's not easy being honest.  The founders speak openly, honestly, and strive to hold everyone at Quanta to account. Consequently, they attract collaborators sharing an inherently holocratic model of leadership.  Members of Quanta's ranks support each other with the tasks at hand using their individual strengths to achieve the improbable and overcome adversity together.

Quanta leadership "takes the high road" in situations writhe with overwhelming adversity. They're not only technologists and entrepreneurs, but also parents. They know failure and success.  They've persevered through the relentless challenges in life, love, and family.  Rather than pretend they are perfectly enlightened and impervious to hardship, they embrace their humanity together.  They actively support their communities with hard-earned wisdom.  They lead support groups for men, serve as outdoor emergency care technicians for the National Ski Patrol, and lead by example.  Their families, and customers, count on them to do the right thing.  

Internally, the founders strive to apply hard-earned lessons to ensure Quanta's success.  They created the business structure with premier legal representation and engineered the product from the ground up, leaving no stone unturned.

Quanta provides a means to develop universal basic income to NGOs, non-profits, and individuals.  Quanta uses incredibly effective strategies wrapped into a streaming AI microservices architecture that's equipped to consume streaming timeseries data from cryptocurrency exchanges and traditional securities exchanges.  

Moreover, Quanta is a SaaS offering to customers and doesn't receive or manage any of the capital directly, which grants the ability to license the software to customers without taking possession of individual wealth.  Customers have the ability to retain their own funds without concerns over leveraging, lending, fraud, or liquidation in the event that Quanta's business is disrupted due to force majeure. 

Lastly, the overall returns that Quanta offers to customers on their privately held capital are significant compared to managed investments, including mutual funds, ETFs, stock traders, and brokers.  This gives customers the opportunity to receive regular dividends to supplement their incomes and revenue streams.  No other business on the market is offering this level of service under a similar set of operating principles.

Daily - Quanta monitors multiple tokens in multiple markets for investment opportunities in both up and down cycles of market activity.  Quanta serves customers' private investment accounts by placing trades with a high probability of success, in real time.  When taking profits, Quanta secures revenue quickly.  In its final release, Quanta will be a mobile app that will allow customers to adjust their risk profile and monitor account activity on the fly.  Quanta  also offers access to the Quanta Institute, which provides courses curated to educate investors about trading, markets, and capital investment strategies.

Customers will have liquidity, wealth, and education.  Customers will benefit from blackbox strategies that don't require extensive market or trading knowledge.  Customers will be able to enroll in the Quanta Institute, which will afford them a wealth of knowledge relevant to money management and trading.

Weekly - Quanta provides customers with a snapshot of all account values in one dashboard.  They will be able to view their progress, trades, and see charts summarizing account activity.

Although customers can go to individual exchanges to see their positions, they won't have to.  All the information will be available in the Quanta customer dashboard.  They'll gain peace of mind since all their information will be delivered in real-time, allowing them to intervene in the event that sudden liquidity is necessary.

Monthly - Quanta doesn't charge a setup fee for services.  Instead, Quanta splits revenue with the customer, which is invoiced on a monthly basis.  The amount of revenue will be a 70-30 revenue split with the customer receiving the lion's share.  To make things simpler for the customer, quanta will auto-debit the amount of revenue within five days of issuing an invoice to the customer.

Customers won't be bothered with complicated invoicing or manual payment to Quanta.  They can also draw down the profits on the account through their individual exchanges or OTC trading solutions without Quanta's intervention. 

Long Term - Customers will collect significant revenue over the long run as a supplemental basic income for their NGO, non-profit, or individual needs. They will get educated in money management and investing.

Quanta recently closed a pilot of the service that had three customers. Quanta has a wait-list of over 100 customers.  Quanta decided to focus on solidifying  legal agreements and developing a corporate structure that will enable institutional investment in Quanta before re-instating business transactions and releasing a product to those on the wait list.

In one year, Quanta anticipates serving over 400 customers, with a goal of accepting 25 new customers per month.  Quanta will limit engagement in batches to ensure the highest quality of service.  Both the amount of overall traded capital and the number of customers will need to be managed carefully to ensure that Quanta's strategies continue to operate as expected.

In five years, Quanta will be able to support thousands of customers in markets around the world.  Quanta will also release APIs to institutional investors and brokers on a limited basis. 

Initially, Quanta aims to re-instate its services in a SaaS product as a web frontend dashboard.  Quanta will monitor trades with a human-in-the-loop trading model vetted by humans.  Quanta will complete its internal microservices infrastructure within a year, which will enable experimentation with automated trading systems.

Quanta's revenues will support operating costs and accelerate the growth and development of new initiatives in the non-profit and NGO sector (phase II), where traditional sawtooth fundraising will be smoothed by Quanta's SaaS offering.

To achieve this, Quanta will complete the current cycle of engineering and business development, ensuring legal protections for customers and Quanta alike.  Quanta will use revenues and funds from SOLVE to hire business development, administrative, accounting, customer support, and engineering resources, and seek mentorship in select areas of improvement, which will streamline the operations and allow a deeper focus on the development of Quanta's product.  Quanta will also employ the current UX/UI designer full time, which will enable the development of the Quanta Mobile Application within five years.

Financially, we are a scrappy bunch.  Funding is the top barrier to our immediate expansion.  We have limited private capital available to us through friends, family, and we pursue consulting work among businesses and The World Bank.  Quanta also privately derives limited operating revenue using Quanta's strategies.  Quanta needs to replace these external dependencies with a full internal revenue infrastructure, which is contingent upon a number of accomplishments that overcome the following key barriers:

1. Funding - Quanta needs seed funding to develop new technologies and implement strategies for automation at scale.
2. Legal Protections - Quanta is not investment advisors, we are a software company.  We have these protections put in place by a very experienced internal general counsel.
3. Engineering Resources - Quanta needs engineering talent that understands the infrastructure and architecture requirements. Quanta is working on publishing engineering reference material to disclose streaming AI microservices patterns.
4. Business Development - Quanta needs sales and business development resources to engage with non-profits beyond the scope of those already on our waitlist.
5. Long Term Partnerships - Quanta needs partners that are brokers and fund managers over the next five years in order to strengthen our position among institutions.

1. Funding - Quanta has no shortage of connections to venture capital, angel investments, and customers.  Quanta is more inclined to delay the involvement of VCs and angels for as long as possible. Quanta has turned down investment offers knowing the value of ownership surpasses the thirst for capital.  Quanta will inevitably pitch with a functioning product in hand, thereby protecting the overall value and company mission: to serve the non-profit sector with public equity and micro-funding opportunities.
2. Legal Protections - Quanta has a very experienced internal general counsel who specializes in financial software services with an eye on SaaS.  Quanta will leverage this expertise to extend its market scope to foreign nations, with an interest in assigning a dedicated counsel to each market.
3. Engineering Resources - Quanta intends to publish blogs and a book that discloses the underlying architectural pattern implemented throughout the Quanta platform. Publishing will give Quanta exposure to pundits, academics, and professional engineers while also empowering educational discovery and innovation deep within the engineering community.
4. Business Development - Quanta has a BD lead that is driving customers to its doorstep, however, Quanta will leverage existing customer testimonials to attract new customers with real-world results.
5. Long Term Partnerships - Quanta already has access to high-level resources at Robinhood, Binance, equity funds, and other institutional investment firms.  Quanta's network is extensive, and the connections we have are strong because we invest heavily in cultivating relationships with great integrity.

Quanta is currently delaying the formal partnership with private equity, institutional brokers, and non-profits.  Quanta does have informal partnerships with investment advisors and financial experts. Quanta recently completed a six month product pilot that demonstrated over 100% returns on investment for all customer accounts.  Now, Quanta is focused on the development of a web application frontend for its Order Manager, which will set the stage for re-engaging with partner companies upon completion by Fall 2020.

Quanta provides a black-box SaaS product that earns significant revenues for customers with private cryptocurrency exchange accounts.  Quanta's customers agree to a 70-30 revenue share on profits taken using Quanta's software services.  Customers pay nothing up front and Quanta collects revenue share on a monthly basis within five days of issuing a customer invoice.  

Additionally, customers also pay a 1.5% annual maintenance fee on the total revenue and portfolio value, due annually, to cover administrative expenses and insurance.  Lastly, Quanta offers paid access plans to aspiring investors seeking practical knowledge in money management and investin through the Quanta Institute.

Quanta exemplifies a market linkage model for low-income clients.

Quanta's revenue sharing model will sufficiently cover operating expenses.  Quanta's revenue models indicate break-even targets at around 50 customers if Quanta maintains a lean business operating structure.  Since inception, Quanta has maintained a lean operation without any brick-and-mortar requirements.  Moreover, a portion of Quanta's revenue goes into an internal investment fund that Quanta leverages to extend operating revenue.  The rest goes to employment, legal, computing infrastructure, and catastrophic insurance protection to ensure the safety of its customers.

Overall, Quanta facilitates trade relationships between clients within external exchanges.  Quanta's target clients are low to mid income customers with a need to leverage as little as $10,000 in order to supplement their income requirements.

Our organization took approximately $28000 in revenue from the recent pilot program on a one time basis due to risk, legal, and personal agreements to test strategies at an elevated level of risk to pilot customers.

Quanta has accepted approximately $150,000 in funding from anonymous private investors in the course of 5 years in order to develop its strategies and early infrastructure.

Quanta's founding member also take revenue from consulting in undisclosed amounts in order to continue work on Quanta indefinitely.

Quanta will transition through three rounds of investment.  First, $1.2M for the initial vertical growth phase and rollout of the web-based Order Manager over the course of 12 months.  Next, another $4M for horizontal growth across exchanges and mobile application development over the next 12-18 months. Last, Quanta will require $40M for global growth into foreign markets on a dedicated cloud infrastructure at petabyte scale over the course of 18-24 months.

The start of this process depends on the access to capital investments and product development release cycle that is already underway. Until the product receives full-scale funding and enough capital is deployed to allow the founders to work on a full-time basis, capital continues to trickle in through consulting agreements with large scale business clients with an interest in AI.

The Elevate Prize will offer Quanta much needed exposure, funding, and partnership opportunities, which will affect Funding, Talent, Business Development, and Long Term Partnerships. More specifically:

1. Funding - The funds from the Elevate prize will support the operating revenue requirements.  Our models assume an average of 50 customers over the course of the first year, though Quanta intends to acquire 100 by year's end at a minimum.  To get there, Quanta needs Elevate funding to finish developing the initial product and open the opportunity to acquire customers without the distraction of consulting work or needless VC pitches.
2. Talent - Participation in the MIT community will give Quanta exposure to a broader pool of talent in all areas of operations, especially engineering.  Quanta will also certainly take advantage of mentoring from Elevate partners when making decisions and strategizing talent acquisition.
3. Business Development - Participation in the Elevate program will instill confidence in customer acquisition. Moreover, Quanta will appreciate mentoring opportunities that will further our talent acquisition strategies.
4. Long Term Partnerships - Without question, the technical and professional partnerships afforded to Quanta from the MIT community, as well as the additional funding, will enable Quanta to begin discussions with professional partners in the financial community, who require the confidence that participation with MIT will afford.

Overall, Quanta wants to deliver a product that revolutionizes the status quo and provides models for engineering infrastructure to other companies while promoting a thesis that supports organizations with an intrinsic value to society.

Funding: Quanta needs more accurate models that leverage Monte Carlo methods that estimate revenues based on past market performance.  While we have the internal chops to do this, it comes at the expense of engineering our automation. The same person is responsible for both tasks. Hence, we need partners here.

Talent: Quanta needs exposure to the academic and professional community from people who understand our market with specialize in financial industry talent recruitment.

Mentorship: Quanta believes there's always something to learn; success does not correlate with knowledge and wisdom can be expensive. Help us learn from experienced leaders in order to maximize the potential for long-term success.

Board Members: Quanta is seeking Board Members with a vested interest in the themes central to the Quanta mission.

Legal: Quanta is non sequitur in its approach to SaaS investment licensing. Though off to a great start, more legal support is needed, please.

Robinhood et al - Quanta has connections, but we need to be further established in our company strategy, modelling, and forecasting. This will open doors to a fruitful conversation with our contacts.

Non-Profits - Quanta has a list of small non-profits, but more exposure and market research are needed to properly scale to assert the general benefits that Quanta will offer to a wider base of non-profits.

Advisors - Quanta, again, is always open to industry professionals with mentoring bandwidth, especially if these relationships yield industry opportunities and business development advantages.
