We are thrilled to announce that Akuma Engineering Ltd. (“Akuma” or the “Company”) has launched a €500,000 Convertible Note Bridge Financing. This pivotal raise is designed to accelerate the development and market expansion of Vox Messenger, positioning us at the forefront of the secure messaging, cybersecurity, and fintech markets.
This is a unique opportunity for both experienced investors and those looking to make their first step into technology investment, allowing you to join us as we build the secure future of digital trust.
The Problem Akuma is Solving: The Crisis of Digital Trust
The very concept of digital trust is under attack. Identity fraud has reached epidemic levels, driven by the rapid rise of sophisticated AI tools. Deepfakes and digital impersonation attacks surged by 3,000% in 2024, resulting in staggering annual losses for businesses—estimated at €12.3 billion.
Existing major messaging platforms often monetize user data, fail to meet EU GDPR compliance standards, and create security vulnerabilities through fragmented systems for communication and payments.
Akuma is committed to ending this crisis by delivering a secure, integrated solution.
Our Solution: Defining the Future of Digital Trust
Vox Messenger v3.0.0 is built on a revolutionary technology stack designed for the quantum computing era and engineered to authenticate real human presence.
1. SpatialID™ Technology: This is our patented 3D spatial recognition system that actively authenticates real human presence, effectively defeating deepfakes and AI impersonation attempts. This crucial innovation is the core of establishing true digital trust in communication.
2. Post-Quantum Encryption: Vox Messenger incorporates military-grade security protocols, future-proofed against the threats posed by quantum computing. We currently have a 2-year technical lead in post-quantum implementation.
3. Vox Crypto Integration: We offer seamless crypto and fiat transactions with personalized IBANs, all fully regulated in EU and US markets.
Unlike competitors such as Signal, WhatsApp, or Telegram, Vox Messenger is the only platform offering 3D identity verification to defeat deepfakes, combined with post-quantum encryption and regulated integrated cryptocurrency payments.
Proven Traction and World-Class Leadership
Akuma is not just a concept; we have a strong foundation and accelerating growth:
• Users: We already have 300,000+ active users across more than 100 countries.
• Retention: Our monthly user retention rate is 94%, significantly above the industry average of 76%.
• Partnerships: We maintain strategic partnerships with organizations like Logitech, UC Irvine, Yale University, and Nikon.
Our success is driven by a world-class leadership team, including CEO/Founder JB Benjamin, a former GCHQ consultant with 15+ years of cybersecurity expertise; CTO Gareth Murfin, a mobile development veteran with 800 million+ app downloads; and Interim CFO Michel Clerin, a former Managing Director at Bankers Trust and Merrill Lynch.
The Investment Opportunity Explained
This €500,000 Convertible Note Bridge Financing is a short-term loan that serves as a ‘bridge’ into our forthcoming €4,000,000 Series A Preferred Stock Offering.
What is a Convertible Note?
A Convertible Note is a loan to Akuma that offers investors highly favorable terms if (or when) we execute a “Qualified Financing” (the first €1,000,000 raised in our Series A Offering).
Key Investment Highlights for You:
• Investment Size: Individual Notes range from a minimum investment of €10,000 up to €50,000. Akuma reserves the right to increase the total offering size up to €750,000.
• Attractive Interest: The Notes carry a 12.0% annual simple interest coupon (paid monthly). Additionally, each Note includes a 12.0% bonus interest payable as a lump sum when the principal is repaid or converted.
• Warrants: Each €10,000 Note includes 1,000 common stock purchase warrants.
• Conversion Advantage: If you elect to convert your Note during the Qualified Financing, you receive Series A Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to eighty percent (80%) of the price paid by new Series A investors—this is a built-in 20% discount.
• Valuation Cap: Your conversion is based on a €15,000,000 pre-money valuation cap, ensuring you benefit from whichever mechanism (the 20% discount or the valuation cap) results in the greater number of shares.
How We Will Use the Funds:
The estimated Net Proceeds from this Bridge Financing are €450,000. These funds are critical for immediate operational growth, allocated as follows:
• 30% (€135,000) for Product Development & R&D
• 25% (€112,500) for Sales & Marketing
• 22% (€99,000) for Team Expansion & Wages

We invite you to review the detailed Term Sheet and Investor Deck. This Bridge Financing is scheduled to terminate on the earlier of the €500,000 offering amount being reached or November 15, 2025, unless extended.
For interested investors, please note that an investment in the Notes is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Investors must be familiar with and understand the offering terms and represent that they can afford the loss of their entire investment.
