Market OpportunityOur market is anyone with a flat roof building or

land.The market size is huge with 185.5 million

buildings and 40% of all the open land in the US.Even capturing 1% of this market, our portion

would be substantial.Many of these sites are marginal areas and

only urban turbines and solar will work well with reasonable paybacks.

Renewable energy markets are growing at 400%

Problem

Most people live or work in the city and are concerned with climate change and rising electric costs.Few renewable energy products will work in

the city because of space requirements or unsuitable environmental conditions.

Suitable requirements for wind or solar are often located outside of the city and use valued open space or they clutter scenic vistas.

Solution

The Urban Turbine works well in the city and is perfectly suited for roof top or field installations and is suitable for wide environmental conditions catering to the customers

needs right in the city to use space they already have and don’t use.Field studies demonstrate our Urban Turbines

work as well or better than solar in the city with the same cost but less space and considerably better than traditional wind systems.

Products /ServicesWe currently offer three turbine sizes roof or

tower mounted. We can either install the turbine or assist the customer installing it.

Future Products /ServicesOur turbines are very adaptable and fit into a

large variety of customer needs.

Revenue ModelDirect sales to our primary customers; building

owners, land owners, farmers and colleges. Our niche are customers in the city where other technologies do not work well.

We price our turbines to give us an approximate 50% gross profit and still have a 6 to 8 year payback.

Location of the turbine is important for good paybacks. Typically a unit will make 1/6 of the cost of the turbine in revenues each year with a 40 year projected lifespan.

Revenue History

2011 to 2013 we have had three customers as research projects to help offset the high costs of field testing research with total revenues of $80,000.00

In August of 2014 we secured our first customer for the finalized commercial UT-5 model for $61,000.00.

Marketing StrategyUrban Power has been received well with

just a word of mouth campaign. We plan on expanding the process with a lecture series we are sponsoring on climate change which is proving to be very fruitful.

After proper funding, we will add a marketing manager and a sales campaign to include trade shows and green magazines. We will drastically increase the number of potential customers we can reach to increase sales.

Growth Strategy

We plan to add distribution centers all over the US to utilize the sales infrastructure already in place to increase sales and our customer base.

Our turbines fill a much needed niche. Our customers are often aware of other technologies limitations and are interested in our products because of their ability to operate in the urban area.

Growth

We expect gross sales of over $600,000 in 2015. We already have $450,000 in potential sales waiting for various approvals to sign and hopefully get started in the spring.

We feel confident we will grow at an annual growth rate of 20% or better for many years.

Team

I am the only leadership team member actively working for Urban Power USA. After proper funding Urban Power USA plans to hire a proven Chief Operating Officer and marketing manager to start the expansion of commercial sales.

Urban Power USA uses a number of outside contractors to fill the personnel void until permanent employees can be hired.

CompetitionTraditional wind turbines do not operate in

city areas. Past installations have fallen short in power production.

Solar is the only true competitor in the urban market and enjoys many financial incentives to make it as cost effective as our turbines.

Solar requires a lot of space and often voids roofing warrantees because of numerous penetrations needed. To correct this issue solar can use weighted installations which often exceed roof loading limits.

Page 16: Urban power usa crowdfunding

Our AdvantageUrban Turbines can be mounted on any

building with wind and require a smaller space with few roof penetrations. Multiple turbines can drastically improve the power production on a building.

Urban Turbines can also partner with solar in a hybrid power system because each technology makes power at different times of the year. This partnership would enhance both technologies for customers looking for year round power production.

Investment Uses 40% will be used to construct and install

turbines in good wind areas for certification to access financial incentives provided by state and government agencies. They will also provide an income stream by the sale of power.

20% will be to hire an experienced marketing and sales manager as well as funding for advertising and trade shows.

40% is for operating capital during commercial and manufacturing build up.
