Live platform, customer deployed, 8 LOIs, 120 instances represented in LOIs and…" lang: en-GB --- Invest in Firevault # Creating a new category in cyber resilience. Firevault takes the data organisations cannot afford to lose off the network, and gives it back only on the owner's terms. A live Offline Secure Storage® platform built around physical disconnection, controlled access and dedicated hardware. Why invest Live 8 LOIs 120 instances in LOIs £200k committed Image: Cover of the September 2026 Firevault EIS investor pitch (https://fire-vault.com/investor/eis-september-2026/slides/slide-01.jpg) 18-slide private pitch The public case in one line: a live category-creating platform with commercial proof, contracted recurring economics and a market only beginning to move offline. Live Platform deployed 8 Letters of intent 120 Instances represented £200k Capital committed Why invest in Firevault ## The investment case without giving the pitch away. The private pitch contains the detailed market sizing, commercial pipeline, unit economics, roadmap, round terms and illustrative return scenarios. The public page answers one question first: why is this worth opening? The problem ### Critical data remains permanently reachable. Cybersecurity keeps defending connected environments. The highest-consequence data often does not need to stay online continuously. Permanent route → permanent exposure The solution ### Four products. One offline platform. Offline Secure Storage combines dedicated hardware, physical disconnection and controlled access in a managed service. LUV · Vault · Storage · Enterprise The proof ### Already live, not a prototype. A customer-deployed platform, commercial LOIs and committed private capital provide evidence beyond the original concept. Live · LOIs · capital committed The model ### Physical infrastructure with recurring economics. Minimum-term managed-service contracts are designed to turn installed capacity into predictable recurring revenue. 36-month standard contracts The market ### Security spend is rising. Offline adoption is early. Firevault is entering a category where organisations increasingly need separation as well as protection. Full market model inside the pitch The round ### Capital converts into capacity. The £2m EIS seed is designed to add infrastructure, increase delivery capacity and convert a commercially validated pipeline. Detailed deployment plan in the pitch Why Firevault ## We removed the path instead of defending it. Most security products add controls around an asset that remains network reachable. Firevault adds a different state: physically disconnected at Layer 1 until authorised access is required. Connected model A route always exists. Identity, firewalls, endpoint security, backups and monitoring all protect a network path that remains available. OSS model The data path can disappear. Dedicated storage sits offline and the path is introduced only for a verified, governed session. The architectural difference ### Security by changing the state of the asset. The category thesis is deliberately simple: some sensitive and critical data does not need a permanent network presence. Firevault gives organisations a way to take that data offline without returning to manual tape workflows. The pitch goes deeper into Layer 1 architecture, controlled connectivity and how the platform was built. Commercial proof ## Enough traction to warrant a closer look. The purpose of the public page is to establish momentum without publishing the customer, partner and pipeline detail contained in the confidential deck. From lab to live ### Customer deployed. Market engaged. Firevault has moved from architecture and testing into production use, early commercial demand and an active partner ecosystem. 1+ Year live First regulated-sector customer operating on the platform. 8 LOIs Commercial intent across multiple market routes. 120 Instances in LOIs Demand expressed in actual deployable units. 100+ Partner conversations A growing route to market beyond direct sales. The business model ## Three numbers worth knowing before the deck. The detailed rack model, operating cost assumptions and contract economics stay in the private materials. These are the headline characteristics investors need to understand first. Contracted revenue 36 mo ### Minimum term Each sale starts with a multi-year customer commitment rather than a month-to-month storage subscription. Full contract economics → investor pitch Hardware economics ~9 mo ### Rack payback The model is designed so installed infrastructure can recover its initial hardware cost quickly as contracted instances fill capacity. Rack model → investor pitch Margin profile 80%+ ### Gross margins Dedicated physical infrastructure is delivered through a recurring managed-service model rather than one-off hardware sales. Assumptions and detail → investor pitch Product ladder ## From one person's vault to national infrastructure. One core architecture supports multiple customer types and contract sizes. The investor significance is the ability to climb the value ladder without changing the category. 01 Entry ### LUV Low-use, high-importance data for individuals and small teams. Up to 300GB 02 Core ### Vault Dedicated digital safe deposit boxes for directors, professionals and high-value personal data. 2 · 4 · 8TB 03 Scale ### Storage Scalable OSS for organisations protecting business-critical and recovery data. 20–300TB 04 High assurance ### Enterprise Dedicated offline infrastructure for government, defence and critical environments. 300TB+ Defensibility ## More difficult to replicate than a feature. The detailed IP and roadmap remain confidential. Publicly, the moat can be understood through three things: architecture, delivery and category position. 01 Architecture ### Re-architected. Built from the ground up around physical disconnection, not bolted onto a connected stack. 02 Technology access ### Patentable platform. The technology is held outright by Firevault, secured and not available to anyone else. 03 Execution ### Lab to live. Live and proven in production, from physical infrastructure through to customer operations. The team ## Commercial execution meets technical depth. The investor deck contains the detailed biographies and track records. The public page shows who is responsible for turning the technology into a scaled company.
