The investment thesis

AI has models. It has search. It still lacks a portable memory layer.

Linux made computing portable across heterogeneous machines. MemHoard.Ai aims to make persistent, governed memory portable across models, applications and hardware.

Commercial wedge nowCompleted private memory for SME files, databases and operations.
Expand horizontallyOne memory substrate for apps, agents, vehicles and robots.
Scale technicallyFrom a single node to routed experts and distributed compute.
Sources & framing

Analogy, not equivalence. The Linux comparison describes a strategic ambition for portability and standardisation; it is not a current market-share claim.

CNCF reports Kubernetes as a common operating layer for modern infrastructure, with 82% of surveyed container users running it in production in 2025: CNCF Annual Cloud Native Survey 2025. Android documents the Linux kernel as the platform base: Android Open Source Project.

The adoption gap

SMEs are being asked to adopt AI without owning the context it needs.

17%of small EU enterprises used at least one AI technology in 2025, versus 55.03% of large enterprises.
01
Knowledge is fragmented.

Documents, network shares, databases, images and voice notes are stored as separate assets—not as durable organizational context.

02
Retrieval is not continuity.

Search and RAG can locate content; they do not automatically maintain identity, chronology, relationships and operational state across time.

03
Cloud-first defaults create sovereignty and cost friction.

Regulated or IP-sensitive SMEs need data, models and memory inside their boundary—and predictable capacity for repeated agent workloads instead of open-ended token consumption.

Sources & definitions

AI adoption by size: 2025 EU survey, 17% small, 30.36% medium and 55.03% large enterprises: Eurostat, Use of artificial intelligence in enterprises (Dec. 2025). Survey scope is enterprises with at least 10 employees.

Distinction between external context, RAG and long-term agent memory: Letta context hierarchy. The State of FinOps 2026 documents growing concern around AI usage visibility, variable pricing, tokens and inference cost. Sovereignty requirement is MemHoard's product thesis, not a market statistic.

Method. Comparison reflects publicly documented competitor positioning reviewed 1 Aug. 2026. “Not a documented core capability” does not prove technical impossibility. The MemHoard row separates current first-party product claims from the federated-node R&D roadmap; live demonstration, connector inventory and independent benchmarking remain diligence requirements.

Evidence status: MemHoard Ltd reports a complete product, testing across the stated local-hardware tiers and active commercial proposals. This public deck does not present named customers or booked revenue. First-close diligence therefore requires a live demo, reproducible benchmark pack and named paid-deployment evidence—no traction figure is inferred.
Sources & product status

Current product status and architecture are first-party statements by MemHoard Ltd, dated 1 Aug. 2026; the public product positioning is available at MemHoard.Ai. Demonstrations, security review, deployment records and benchmarks belong in the investor data room. The conceptual distinction between persistent agent memory and external retrieval is supported by Letta's context hierarchy and the Mem0 technical paper.

Commercial starting point · product complete

The product exists. The round builds the company around it.

MemHoard.Ai is local-first for sovereignty and privacy, with cloud only when explicitly requested. It is already available, tested and active in commercial proposals and PoCs.

01 · PRODUCT STATUS

Sellable now

The current product searches, reasons across and serves cognitive tasks on enterprise databases, network shares, file paths and documents.

02 · MEMORY FOUNDATION

Cognitive base

Documents, written and voice notes, images and diagrams become persistent cognitive concepts inside the customer-controlled MemHoard database.

03 · OPERATIONAL DEPTH

Beyond generic prompting

Responses can rely on path knowledge, database structures, chronology and extracted relationships—not only a single prompt or vector match.

04 · PILOT MECHANISM

Hardware-backed PoCs

Proposed model: lend a configured node for a multi-month KPI-based PoC. Failed KPIs return the hardware; passed KPIs activate a pre-agreed multi-year contract.

05 · GO-TO-MARKET

Commercial build-out

Build business development, marketing, solution selling, onboarding and customer success around the first production-ready MemHoard offer.

06 · COMPANY-BUILDING ROUND

$5M · 24 months

Product, PoC model & evidence classification

Product completion, availability, testing, PoC activity and current operational scope are first-party MemHoard Ltd statements dated 1 Aug. 2026. Public positioning: MemHoard.Ai — The Memory Layer for Private AI. The loan-hardware/KPI/multi-year-contract mechanism is a proposed commercial structure, not a claim that such contracts are already signed. Exact PoC duration, KPIs, hardware liability, termination and contract terms require legal and customer validation.

128 → 256 GBone or two GB10 nodes
512 GBone M3 Ultra high-memory node

Technical precision: the two-Spark configuration aggregates 256 GB across nodes; it is not one transparently pooled VRAM address space. Each Spark has two rear QSFP ConnectX‑7 connectors; NVIDIA's validated two-node topology uses one matching port per unit and NCCL/MPI for distributed work.

Official hardware sources

NVIDIA documents 128 GB unified memory, two rear QSFP ConnectX‑7 network connectors and model support up to 200B parameters—or 405B with two Sparks: DGX Spark Hardware Overview. Its official two-node guide specifies a QSFP/CX7 cable, a direct 200 GbE link and distributed workloads using NCCL/MPI: NVIDIA Spark Stacking and Connect Two Sparks.

Apple states Mac Studio with M3 Ultra can be configured to 512 GB unified memory and run LLMs over 600B parameters in memory: Apple Newsroom, 5 Mar. 2025; current specifications: Apple Mac Studio. As of the 1 Aug. 2026 research cutoff, Apple's current product page still identifies M3 Ultra; an M5 Ultra configuration is therefore not claimed. AMD documents up to 128 GB unified memory for Ryzen AI Halo class systems: AMD, 2026.

Model fit depends on precision, quantization, context length, KV cache, runtime and overhead. Manufacturer parameter figures are capability ceilings, not MemHoard latency or throughput benchmarks. MemHoard Ltd reports the 128/256/512 GB deployment bands as tested product configurations; detailed results belong in the data room.

Why SMEs need an owned AI option

Agent adoption turns token billing into variable operating cost.

98%

AI spend is now a FinOps scope

FinOps practitioners managing AI spend rose from 31% in 2024 to 98% in 2026.

$2.50 / $15

Input / output per 1M tokens

Current standard API price for GPT‑5.6 Terra; reasoning, tools and repeated context can add consumption.

$11k/mo

Transparent workload example

2B uncached input + 400M output tokens per month at the cited Terra rates.

For repeatable, high-duty workflows, MemHoard.Ai offers SMEs a second economic model: owned local capacity, private models and persistent memory—without mandatory per-token cloud dependency.

Sources, price basis & calculation

The State of FinOps 2026 covers 1,192 respondents representing more than $83B in annual cloud spend. It reports that 98% now manage AI spend (63% in 2025; 31% in 2024), AI cost management is the most desired skillset, and granular monitoring of tokens, LLM requests and GPU utilization is the leading requested tooling capability. The sample is the FinOps community, not all SMEs.

OpenAI's current model comparison lists GPT‑5.6 Terra at $2.50 per 1M input tokens and $15 per 1M output tokens: OpenAI API model comparison. Illustrative arithmetic: 2,000 × $2.50 + 400 × $15 = $11,000/month. This scenario assumes uncached text tokens and excludes tool calls, storage, networking and discounts.

Economic discipline. This is evidence of variable AI cost—not proof that local inference is always cheaper. MemHoard must benchmark total cost of ownership by workload, including hardware depreciation, energy, administration, model quality, latency and utilization.

The 2.04M UAE + EU organization universe is context—not a revenue forecast. MemHoard will publish a TAM/SAM only after paid deployments establish vertical mix, contract value and conversion.

Inputs, formula & limitations

UAE Ministry of Economy reported more than 557,000 SMEs and 63.5% of non-oil GDP in 2022: UAE Ministry of Economy & Tourism. Eurostat's 2025 enterprise-ICT survey population was ~1.53M enterprises with 10+ staff: 83% small, 14% medium, 3% large, yielding ≈1.484M SMEs: Eurostat metadata.

The former “organization count × assumed ACV” TAM has been removed from the main investment argument. The $2M exit-ARR target is forward-looking arithmetic: 50 production customers × $40k blended ARR. Both customer count and pricing require validation; the existing pricing hypothesis spans $18k–$60k annual platform revenue before services.

The 24-month funded scope is a management decision introduced to separate commercial execution from future options. Hardware and token economics appear in the optional technical appendix. Hospitality, mobility, Kimi-scale deployment, dynamic offload and distributed settlement remain documented there for diligence without being represented as near-term revenue commitments.

External technical precedents include DeepSpeed ZeRO-Inference, NVIDIA Megatron Core and Petals. They support feasibility research, not a claim of current MemHoard implementation.

Personal vehicle + robotaxi use case

“Go pick up my wife at work.

A navigation system can parse an address. A cognitive-memory layer must resolve authorized identity, the correct workplace, entrance, timing, passenger verification and exceptions—without exposing the household memory to every vehicle subsystem.

The hard problem is context orchestration.

WHOHousehold identity

Resolve “my wife” through explicit relationships and permissions.

WHEREPlace memory

Workplace, correct entrance, pickup zone and learned geography.

VERIFYPassenger match

Consent-based face, device or credential verification.

ACTSafe hand-off

Arrival notice, exception handling and auditable completion.

The same memory primitive can serve owned vehicles and autonomous-taxi fleets, with different tenancy, consent and retention rules.

Autonomous-mobility context & privacy

Dubai RTA's strategy targets 25% of journeys via autonomous transport by 2030. RTA reported pilot operations by Baidu Apollo Go, WeRide and Pony.ai and a planned commercial driverless launch in 2026: Dubai RTA. The “pick up my wife” sequence is a MemHoard future-use-case hypothesis, not a claim about a current vehicle integration. Biometric controls reference European Commission GDPR guidance.

Allocation, runway & organizational assumptions

Raise size and allocation are management proposals. Percentages sum to 100% and dollar values to $5.0M. Straight-line gross budget capacity is approximately $208k per month over 24 months before revenue; actual burn must be lower initially and milestone-gated. The operating plan targets formalization of the founder + six-engineer nucleus, 10–12 FTE by month 12 and 14–16 FTE by month 24, subject to hiring and commercial evidence.

The data room should include a monthly cash model, compensation bands, employment and option structure, hiring sequence, hardware capex, revenue assumptions and a minimum-cash trigger. This deck does not represent the allocation as an audited budget.

Target status & calculation

All milestones, customer counts, headcount and ARR figures are forward-looking targets—not forecasts. $2M exit ARR across 50 production customers implies $40k blended ARR per customer, within the current $18k–$60k platform pricing hypothesis but not yet validated. Named customers, signed contracts and measured revenue have not been supplied for inclusion; no traction has been invented.

A staged financing structure may tie portions of the round to company-formation, paid-deployment, conversion and ARR gates. Exact tranche terms are subject to investor negotiation and are not proposed as binding terms in this deck.
