How we prioritise
First qualification: AltaIR — access through AltaLab; Foundamental — sector fit and minimum cheque; EFI Group and Concorde — industrial context; SMRK — technology experience in Ukraine. This is a qualification order, not an investment-probability score.
First ask: do you invest in a Ukrainian manufacturer with proprietary internal AI, does a $500,000 round fit, and are inventory and working capital eligible? Only then prepare a personalised package. Mandate mismatch is a reason to defer, not to rename a manufacturer as SaaS.
Second group: technology funds where stage, geography, scalability or climate impact still need qualification. Later: Horizon Catalyst and u.capital have substantially larger cheques. Separately: LUN is a potential partner; no manufacturer-investment mandate is confirmed.
Cheques are public indications, not offers. Historical portfolios establish experience, not available capital today. Recheck activity and terms before contact.

| LUN ↗P · Partner, not a confirmed investor | Manufacturer-investment mandate not confirmed. | Potential partner for demand data, suburban housing and distribution. | Do not label an investor without evidence; a partnership experiment is not fundraising. | Separate partnership discussion through the official team, not a financial pitch. |

011h and AUAR are analogues, not investors
011h: the 2022 round combined construction standardisation and a digital process; investors included Redalpine, Seaya Andromeda, Breega, Foundamental and A/O PropTech. This helps identify capital profiles but does not establish comparable ModulDim performance.
AUAR offers robotic microfactories and production software. Shadow and Concrete confirm AUAR in their portfolios. The difference: we sell homes; our AI system still needs to demonstrate impact. Robotics is a future direction, not an existing production line.
