Accelerator (the “Accelerator”, “Cal-X Stars”, “Cal-Impact”, “CalXelerator”, “Leonhardt Ventures” and “We” or “Us”), a subsidiary majority controlled holding of Leonhardt Ventures LLC., and Member, the entity, that has applied and is receiving Membership to the Cal-X Stars Business and Innovation Accelerator Program per the terms of this agreement (the “Member” and “Company” including “It,” “You,” and “Yours”).  The Cal-X Stars terms and conditions expressed below are presumed equally apply to Cal-Impact and CalXelerator sub-accelerators unless specifically defined differently.
The Accelerator and the Member hereby agree as follows:
  1. Effective Date and Conditions. This Agreement will be effective upon mutual recognition of innovation or startup being posted on accelerator affiliated web site(s) – www.leonhardtventures.com and/or www.calxstarsstg.wpenginepowered.com, www.cal-impact.com, www.calxelerator.com.  You will be entitled to have access to and use the services of the accelerator once all payments are received and upon the start date of your assigned cohort. If you are unable to attend a specific cohort for any reason, you may request to push your seat to a later cohort. This Agreement as well as Terms & Conditions constitute the entire agreement and supersedes and merges all prior discussions, understandings, agreements and negotiations. The following Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms”) describe your rights and obligations in connection with your receipt, access and use of any of the Services (as defined below) provided by Accelerator, including but not limited to your use of our platform and community (“Platform”). Please feel free to contact us at howard@leonhardtventures.com with any questions regarding these Terms.
  2. Accelerator Participation. Per the interview, diligence, and acceptance process, Member agrees that they are eligible for the accelerator per the requirements of the Cal-X Stars Business and Innovation Accelerator application and Terms, and that its submissions were true, accurate, and factual. Having been accepted, during the time in which Member is enrolled in the Accelerator, Member’s CEO (the “Representative”) will be eligible to receive: participation with peers in advisory board sessions; education by experienced executive officers of start-up companies and investors; mentorship by experienced entrepreneurs or investors on business and fundraising issues; multiple opportunities to meet investors and investor groups; discounted and or free services by third party providers; and finally certification as a Leonhardt’s Launchpads by Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. Accelerator graduate if they meet the graduation requirements below.
Key Terms:
    • Leonhardt Ventures LLC the parent of Leonhardt’s Launchpads by Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc., CalXelerator and Cal-Impact exclusively decides what innovations and startups and how many innovations and startups enter its accelerator arm(s).
    • Leonhardt Ventures LLC or outside founders/inventors have 100% ownership of their own invention, innovation, platform or startup before being accepted into the accelerator. They agree to give up up to 20% ownership to the graduate long duration accelerators over time before exiting or graduating (see conditions below – 9% on entry with 9% dilution floor and pre-emptive right to purchase at prevailing market prices at time of acquiring + earned warrants for allocation from accelerator capital raises). They agree to give up up to 49.9% to a combination of angel investors, accelerators and advisors/employees/board directors over the course of the acceleration period up to exit or graduation (see conditions and terms below).
    • Original founders and inventors maintain 50.1% un-dilutable ownership throughout the acceleration period unless waived.  This is Leonhardt Ventures LLC is nearly all instances so far and presumed to be the same forward.
    • CalXelerator gets 6% non-dilutable seed stage equity in ALL innovations and startups going through their 108 day program (if participant opts not to cash pay for CalXelerator support).  If innovation or startup is accepted into one of the graduate longer duration accelerators – Leonhardt’s Launchpads by Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. or Cal-Impact Social Good Impact Accelerator they give up 9% seed stage equity (with dilution floor at 9%) and the pre-emptive right to acquire up to 20% ownership right up to exit or graduation from the from the accelerator.   As funds come into these graduate long duration accelerators they earn an equal value warrant to be applied to gaining more ownership in any of the innovations or startups in the portfolio.
    • If equity is granted in a C corporation startup it is provided in the form of common stock shares.  If any investor in these companies ever gets preferred stock at preferred terms the accelerator has the right to convert their common stock shares and original terms to the same preferred terms and preferred stock granted to others.  If multiple preferred shares rounds are completed with differing terms the accelerator may select to match the best of these.
    • If equity is granted in an invention asset or Licensable Technology Platform (LTP) this is done via Fractional Asset Ownership recorded as unit shares in an electronic cap table. Changes in total authorized shares must be approved by a majority of shareholders of the asset.  The graduate accelerators always have a 9% floor on dilution.
    • All owners of fractional interest in assets, Licensable Technology Platforms, have full Pre-Incorporation Rights guaranteeing if they have by example 9% ownership interest in the LTP they will have exactly 9% ownership interest in the spin out C corporation common stock. In fact the cap table used to recorded the Fractional Ownership Unit Share Ownership positions in the LTP assets will simply be converted to corporation stock cap table when the spin out is complete. The Cap Table will be exactly the same without a single change on that spin out date.
    • If an innovation or startup is accepted into either the Leonhardt’s Launchpads by Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. or Cal-Impact Social Good Impact longer duration accelerators they get 9% non-dilutable seed stage equity, with a anti-dilution floor at 9%, and pre-emptive right to purchase up to 20% ownership right up to exit.  Note – CalXelerator gives up their 6% equity stage which is rolled over to 9% Cal-X Stars equity in the case of upstream handover.
    • As money comes into Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. and its used to help develop the portfolio with both common shared and/ortargeted resources they earn matching identical warrant right to acquire the same $ value in those portfoliinnovation assets or startups on conversion. Cal-X Stars may convert warrants to shares at any time at their discretion right up to exit.  The conversion price is always the same market price applied to all cash investors at that time that should be published on the password protected Leonhardt Ventures valuations portal on their web site.
    • The allocation of the warrants should strive to track reasonably close to the value in resources the accelerator provided to the specific LTP or startup.  Value could be access to a key patent claim or claims, time, pre-clinical support, clinical support, key introductions, capital raising assistance, key strategic guidance, key supporting data, key partnership introduction, building advisory board or board of directors, valuable press coverage, showcases, key template documents, Demo Days or other forms of value.
    • LTPs do not have bank accounts.  All PPM raised funds are deposited in the Leonhardt’s Launchpads by Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. which during the period of acceleration assists LTPs on meeting their financial obligations.  A spin out C corporation within the accelerator will have its own bank account.
    • All investments in Leonhardt’s Launchpads by Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. OR Cal-Impact Social Good Impact Accelerator are 2:1 meaning if someone invests $30K they get $30K of accelerator shares AND at no additional charge a warrant to acquire $30K of Fractional Ownership interest in any portfolio assets. After making the investment they have until Dec. 31 of the year they invested to decide the allocation of their warrant.  If at LTP stage the conversion is automatic  on request. If the asset has spun out to become a stand alone C corporation a 2nd board approval for allocating warrants to these assets will be required.  Investors may seek this via a pre-approval before making their investment in the accelerator via the 2:1 plan.
    • Investors investing > $25K may request in their subscription agreement (subject to pre-acceptance) that their provided funds be ear marked for the development of a particular innovation.  In these cases the accelerator will take 27% of that amount to cover common shared resources overhead and will deposit in an escrow like account then balance ear marked for supporting the development of that specific asset innovation Licensable Technology Platform or startup. This may only be done IF the accelerator has already met its essential basic overhead obligations of shared resources payroll, taxes, subscriptions, rent, electricity, shared lab and office supplies, legal, regulatory, common quality system and accounting bills. If the accelerator is short on meeting these basic essential overhead bills an ear marked allocation is not permitted at that time.
    • Investors investing > $250K may request in their subscription agreement (subject to pre-acceptance) not only ear marking of their funds to a particular LTP but a common order that a particular LTP be converted to a C corporation and upon opening of their own bank account that all but the 27% overhead amount for the accelerator be transferred over to that account.
    • Leonhardt Ventures LLC inventions, venture creations and startups are given priority for acceptance into the Leonhardt Ventures LLC controlled accelerators over outside external new inventions or founded startups.
    • Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. and Cal-Impact Social Good Impact Accelerator may have accelerators within their accelerators where innovation platforms or startups may have multiple product launches instead of just one.
    • Any IP developed by a portfolio innovation team or startup that may be applicable to another innovation or startup in the same accelerator class is automatically transferred over as a fee free exclusive license with full ownership rights for that application of use to that innovation or startup for their specific organ or purpose application.  Once the innovation or startup exits the accelerator this condition forward no longer applies but backwards does.
    • Investors investing in the accelerator and its portfolio of accelerating innovations via its 2:1 plan
    • Patent license fees and royalties are not paid to the original inventors or creators of a technology other than un-dilutable equity at 50.1% by any innovation asset platform or startup unless specified in advance in writing. If the non-dilution pact is broken, even if voluntarily, than the original inventors and creators of a technology are eligible for a market rate compensation in fees and royalties.
    • Prior to January 2020 IP Terms
    • Leonhardt Ventures LLC and Leonhardt’s Launchpads by Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. agree to grant to any LTP or startup accepted in their accelerator exclusive organ or purpose specific only rights to all IP it has or creates during the acceleration period with no fees or royalties to be paid other than those that may be paid to all shareholders.  This is in exchange for their respective 50.1% and 9% floor anti-dilution ownership positions.  If the anti-dilution convent shall be broken for any reason, including voluntary release, then the particular LTP or startup must pay market rates to license any IP.  Market rates will be determined by a committed comprised of 2 members one being the Leonhardt Ventures LLC patent attorney of choice and the other being the patent attorney of choice of the startup or LTP asset manager.  If all of these are controlled by Leonhardt Ventures that at least one of the parties must be an independent non-affiliated committed participant selected by the 2nd leading shareholder of the LTP or startup other than Leonhardt Ventures LLC.

These core values are simple to adhere to and the Accelerator team is here to work with you through any issues or challenges, however, we can’t “entrepreneur” for you, no matter how much we work, the program relies on your dedication, passion, and expertise to succeed as a business outside of investor meetings and graduating.

  1. Program Guarantee. If Member meets the requirements and graduates the program, and does not meet at least 3 new investors for the Pre-Seed Program, 5  new investors for the Seed, 10 new investors for Series A Programs or $200K aggregate , 20 new investors for Series B $500K aggregate or 30 new investors for Series C or $1 million aggregate  or does not receive a reasonable investment offer within 12 months of graduating, Member may receive its resource fee back upon requesting and submitting a guarantee request form to howard@leonhardtventures.com. This guarantee is not valid if: the Member purposefully decides to forgo fundraising and/or investment at any point of the program, does not accept a reasonable investment offer presented, does not utilize the full program above or participate in the accelerator programming, an offer falls through in due diligence, Member does not graduate or pay a remaining balance of a resource fee, Member refuses/misses or ignores investor introductions, or the accelerator Member goes out of business or becomes insolvent during the term of the guarantee. Running a business is difficult, thus you do not have to attend all masterminds if you let your advisor know ahead of time (we are here to work with you); however a single unexcused absence, no-showing  a scheduled investor meeting intro, or refusing an investor intro does nullify this guarantee; as well as continued absences or lack of participation can result in you being reset to a new cohort and or potentially removed from the program completely. Neither investors nor your competitors care how tired you are or how many hours you were up working the night prior, or any other excuse. Be professional, be prompt, be on-time, and if there is an issue let your Startup Champion and Advisor know. It’s part of respecting people’s time and being courteous. We are here to work with you to help you succeed.
  2. Executive Coaching, Advisor, & Mentor Session Procedures. If meeting by phone, the Member will be early for, initiate all scheduled calls, and will call the designated phone number at the appointed time. The time of all 1-1 meetings will be based on a mutually agreed upon time using an online scheduling system or available time slots, and initiated by the Member. If the Member is more than 10 minutes late for the appointed time, the scheduled time will be forfeited by the Member and/or rescheduled at discretion.
  3. Meeting Cancellation Policy. Member agrees that it is the Member’s responsibility to give 24 hours in advance of the scheduled calls/meetings for cancellation. Advisors, Mentors, and Coaches reserve the right to terminate coaching/advising of any Member for any reason or subtract a missed session from a Member’s total sessions. If a legitimate serious event, illness, or emergency causes a significant impact to a member’s ability to attend sessions and or cohort masterminds, accelerator has the right to decide on whether to re-assign the Member to a new mastermind, cohort, or place membership on hold until a later date. There is a zero absence without notice but we do have a “reasonable” reason policy; such as a VC called me and wrote me a check so I had to miss, etc.

  8. Accelerator Resource Fees. Depending on scholarship level and program, Cal-X Stars reserves the right to bill an additional (in addition to the 1/30th to 1/5th scale share plan depending on stage of development) resource fee of $10 per day to further help cover general overhead resources (electricity, rent, lab equipment ready available, curated documents) required to remain as a limited equity accelerator/incubator program. At the time of membership acceptance, a minimum deposit may be required to secure your seat in the portfolio cohort. This allows us to secure materials ahead of time as well as mentors. The remainder is due on the starting date of your assigned cohort unless authorized for a monthly payment plan on a financial need or merit basis, or a full scholarship is authorized by Leonhardt Ventures LLC,  Howard Leonhardt or the program Managing Partner or Director. Accelerator reserves the right to charge late fees of $10 per day and/or withhold services if resource fee payments are not received on a timely basis. Members may pay directly through Zelle or Bill.com to Cal-X Stars. Other payment options are cash, check, or PayPal, each of which may incur an additional processing fee. If a Member’s payment is returned for insufficient funds, a charge will be added to your current bill and the total amount due will be increased by $35. Any fees for books and materials shipped to the Member are non-refundable. Additionally if utilizing any of our software platforms such as Morgan Stanley Shareworks CapShare Cap Table, LivePlan, Calendly, MailChimp, Asana, SocialMediaMadeSimple, DocuSign, ShareVault, SignNow, DropBox, Microsoft Office, Adobe Suite other software license charges may apply.  By example the annual fee for Morgan Stanley Shareworks CapShare Cap Table management program is $10,000 annually per startup and if upgraded to the Carta Cap Table system the annual charge is $17,500. ShareVault secure due diligence room document storage membership access is $20,000 annually. Accelerator portfolio startups will be required to pay their pro-rata portion of general liability, D&O, product liability, employee liability and clinical trial insurance as well as well as any HR, payroll, accounting or insurance handling service providers bills separate from general overhead fees paid.
  9. Payment Plans. Member recognizes that payment plans are extended as a courtesy to ease the financial burden on those that need it. However, a payment plan is not a subscription fee, the full resource fee and any fees and charges for the payment plan are due in their entirety regardless of whether the Member participates in the program or graduates from the program. Member should consult an expert such as an accountant or CPA for the proper way to characterize this payment on the balance sheet, but in the Accelerator’s view this should be treated as an account payable with a payment schedule.
  10. Change of Control. Change of Control means the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the acquisition of the Member by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation or stock transfer, but excluding any such transaction effected primarily for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Member), unless the Member’s stockholders of record immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions hold, immediately after such transaction or series of related transactions, at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity (provided that the sale by the Member of its securities for the purposes of raising additional funds shall not constitute a Change of Control hereunder), and (ii) a sale, assignment, exclusive license, lease or other disposition or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Member. In connection with a Change of Control (including a transaction that results in the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Member), there is no release from the obligation of payment.

Cal-X Stars Scholarship Agreement

This Scholarship Agreement (the “Scholarship Agreement”) is entered into by and between Leonhardt Ventures LLC,  Leonhardt Launchpads by Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc and its Assignees, and Member, the entity, that has applied and is receiving Membership to the Cal-X Stars or Cal-Impact Accelerator Programs per the terms of Cal-X Stars ACCELERATOR MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT (the “Member” and “Company” including “It,” “You,” and “Yours”) and shall expire 15 years (the “Period“) from cohort start date. In exchange for a scholarship discount to the program, the Member agrees to give Leonhardt’s Launchpads by Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc.:
    1. Investment Rights.  9% seed stage equity with anti-dilution floor at 9%. The right to invest to acquire up to 20% ownership via investment  in any investment round at last market price right up to exit (note final round prior to exit has to be a bonafide real full financing round not one designed just to increase final round pricing): (i) Any current round or future funding round during the Period, at the same terms and rights as investors in the current round as of the date of acceptance of this agreement (i.e. we have the right to invest in any funding round during the Period at the terms of your current open round, if you have one open as of your start date, with at least 25% or more in signature commitments); or (ii) If the Company is raising a current round as of the date of the start of the program and does not have at least 25% in signature commitments as of this agreement, Cal-X Stars may at its option receive the terms and rights of any previous round of at least equivalent to $500k USD that has closed within 90 days of the start of the program (i.e. for example if you recently closed a round of at least $500k USD within 90 days and are starting a new round, we have the right to invest at the previous price until you have reached over 25% in commitments – or for example if you only have closed a friends and family or angel round of <$500K USD within 90 days prior, we would not receive those terms and (ii) is not an option); or (iii) If neither of the above is applicable, then Cal-X Stars may at its option instead receive the same rights and terms in any round within the Period, with same rights as those investors, at either a 20% discount or 1.5x the discount of the round as defined already in that round; whichever results in the greater number of shares (i.e. for example the majority of early stage rounds have discounts from 10%-35%, thus if your discount offered to investors in a round during the Period is 15%, Cal-X Stars ’s rate would be 1.5x of 15% or 22.5% discount, and if you had no discount we would receive a default 20%). Signature commitments are defined as the amount of signed investor agreements; the percent of which are defined as the percent in total as a dollar amount of the stated round goal explained in either terms or to investors (i.e. for example if stated $500k USD, 25% of signature commitments would be $125k USD).
    2. Company Duty. For the length of this agreement, Member must keep Accelerator informed of the status of its open rounds, and prior to accepting the final investment and the legal close of the round, Member must provide Cal-X Stars the opportunity to review all of the documents and diligence for up to ten business days before close via email to howard@leonhardtventures.copm, upon which time if Cal-X Stars does not commit to the round, the round may be closed without its participation. Once emailed, howard@leonhardtventures.com will send a return email confirming to Member that its notification has been received, if this confirmation email is not received then Member is deemed to not have submitted notice. If there seems to be technical errors in the process Member can reach out to howard@leonhardtventures.com to reach out to Cal-X Stars on their behalf. If the rights stated in this agreement are not respected before closing each round during the terms of the agreement above, Member agrees to extension of Period to 15 years from signature.
    3. Investor Rights.  In order to facilitate Cal-X Stars, or its assignees, due diligence process into the investment, Member will grant data and information rights for the term of this agreement. Data and information rights shall not be construed to include information that would cause an unnecessary burden or expense on the Member, such as the completion of a CPA audit of financials. Data and information rights refers to making any and all information that Member makes available to present and prospective investors available to Cal-X Stars or Leonhardt Ventures LLC, and its assignees, or responding to reasonable requests for information and diligence as part of the investment decision-making process.
    4. Follow-On Investment. Should Cal-X Stars or Leonhardt Ventures LLC make an investment into Company, Company agrees to allow it follow-on investment rights to invest in a subsequent round at the same terms as investors in that round. The amount allowed under the follow-on rights is equal to two times the investment by Cal-X Stars (i.e. if $100k was invested, then follow-on rights allow an investment up to $200k), this clause shall not limit any pro rata rights that would allow investment greater than 2x the previous investment.
    5. Change of Control & Automatic Exercise. Change of control as defined meaning the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the acquisition of the Member by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation or stock transfer, but excluding any such transaction effected primarily for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Member), unless the Member’s stockholders of record immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions hold, immediately after such transaction or series of related transactions, at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity (provided that the sale by the Member of its securities for the purposes of raising additional funds shall not constitute a Change of Control hereunder), and (ii) a sale, assignment, exclusive license, lease or other disposition or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Member. If such an event happens, it shall result in an automatic net exercise as if an investment occurred, under the applicable terms of Section 1, for the total amount of 5x the scholarship amount only if the automatic net exercise would result in a positive transaction for Cal-X Stars meaning proceeds greater than its actual or implied cost basis after the exercise. Accelerator will opt for a cash payout if it has the option between cash and stock. To the extent such net issue exercise would result in the issuance of Shares, Accelerator shall be deemed to have elected for the “Shares” to be Common Stock. If this agreement is automatically exercised, the Company shall notify Accelerator of the automatic exercise as soon as reasonably practicable. For clarity, net exercise means that Cal-X Stars shall receive the net proceeds of the agreement without the transfer of any principal in order to reduce the number of back and forth transactions.
    6. Transfer Restrictions. Any securities arising from this agreement shall be subject to standard SEC transfer restrictions, and/or other country of origin transfer restrictions that apply if not operating in the USA.
    7. Assignability. This agreement and its rights may be assigned or transferred by Leonhardt’s Launchpads by Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. to other parties, whether that be a wholly owned subsidiary of Leonhardt Ventures LLC or Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc., separate or affiliated fund, or identified otherwise by Leonhardt Ventures LLC.
    8. Codification. Parties agree to re-codify into a separate warrant contract, agreement, or other securities contract with the same economic terms and defined rights, including the date, and will specifically identify the terms claimed by Cal-X Stars under (i), (ii), or (iii) above as deemed necessary by Accelerator.
    9. Total Agreement. Upon acceptance of a scholarship to the Cal-X Stars Accelerator program for the Period, Member agrees to the above terms under Scholarship Agreement, in addition to the terms and conditions of the program. This scholarship is an award, but also optional, the Member may pay the full program resource fee up front in lieu of accepting the scholarship. Once accepted however, this is a non-terminable agreement. If a Member pays full program resource fee without a scholarship or discount up front at time of signature only, this Scholarship Agreement and it alone will be void and treated as struck from the overall agreement upon signature.
