THE SOLUTION
Creating clean and safe spaces
CBOT, one of the world’s first IoT autonomous disinfection robot, is uniquely positioned to restore healthy and safe spaces for offices, schools, hospitality, healthcare and more. Unlike any other cleaning method, CBOT is the only known offering to combine advanced technologies (IoT, AI, robotics, Cloud) in a future-looking platform that will safely bring people back to work, school, travel, and leisure. Additional capabilities of the CBOT and CIRQ+ system offer real-time data verification and analytics to confirm treatments and ease the fears of managers, property owners, workers, and customers.
Currently, Cirq+ offers two distinct technologies to commercial properties to modernize and streamline operations: The CIRQ+ Smart Room System with integrated Energy Management System (EMS) and CBOT, autonomous disinfecting robot.
By adding the CBOT autonomous disinfection robot to the Smart Room / Energy Management System and connected IoT controls of the CIRQ+ platform, we have developed a future-looking platform enabled by modularity and IoT controls. This allows the platform to evolve with property needs while accommodating the deep roadmap of new product innovations in our portfolio. Accordingly, the CIRQ+ smart hubs provide enormous sales expansion (upsell, cross-sell) for customers worldwide.
CBOT
CBOT: An autonomous disinfection robot navigates mapped paths within areas to electrostatically spray and treat spaces without manual labor, establishing new disinfecting standards and policies.
Using RPLIDAR and other advanced sensors CBOT moves through each space to complete its programmed spray paths with precision. These same sensors coupled with the AI provide active obstacle avoidance to ensure CBOT reroutes around these objects and fulfills its required tasks.
Additionally the Platform helps increase awareness through a backend dashboard and provides real-time tracking of scheduled disinfecting events to deliver documented Verification Notification that treatments were completed along with the ability to send alerts if issues were experienced.

What an amazing week CIRQ+ and StartEngine community! As our team is rolling out CBOT installations into facilities, we are thrilled to share that we are seeing 98% efficiency in treated areas goals for the robots in very demanding installations!
This is exceptional considering the complexity of each of the spaces considering the CBOT must navigate through fields of furniture, cubicles, offices, bathrooms and more to treat and protect the spaces.
CBOT is always on call and ready to complete its goals!
ORDERS, REVENUE AND MORE!
Based on CBOT’s performance record one of partners has ordered more units to expand installations into additional customer facilities… so more REVENUE!!! With this new round of CBOT being produced and deployed CIRQ+ will be treating and protecting up to 52,000,000 sq/ft annually…yes you heard that right…WOW!!
To put this into perspective and with the NFL draft just a couple of days away… CBOT treatable area with these units can treat an equivalent to 970 Football fields a year… incredible performance coverage!
Oh… Good luck to your teams during the draft!!
CAMPAIGN EXTENDED
Getting ready and approved for a Reg CF is no small feat and our team has been working closely with the amazing StartEngine team over the past 6+ months to launch our campaign. This process was very involved and stringent going through compliance reviews to ensure the accuracy of information across every word in the campaign. Some day we will teach a class in this…
We went live late in Q1 2022 which is why there was a limited time on campaign, but we are excited to say that we have completed the new reviews to extend the campaign through the end of 2022 which was always our intent!
CONFIRM INVESTMENT
REG CF formalities- For investors that have already committed to our campaign please keep an eye out for a confirmation email from StartEngine asking you to reconfirm your investment… we would greatly appreciate it!

CBOT INSTALLS!
CBOT DEPLOYMENTS
Happy Monday everyone! We would like to share some exciting news as our team has completed successful installs for CBOT in a number of high-profile facilities that showcases autonomous disinfection to protect people and create safer and healthier spaces today and for the future!
FROZEN IN TIME
Across our nation COVID-19 has literally frozen facilities in time! During one recent installation, offices and cubicles were being cleaned and prepared for staff to reenter the space for the fist time in 2 years and the team found boxes of cereal and food that had expired back in May 2020! Just a staggering realization that reinforces why the CIRQ+ team stepped up to take on infectious disease control for commercial properties.
OFFICE BUILDINGS
A typical CBOT install and set up delivers rapid and efficient deployment- time is money as they say. First CBOT is navigated through this facility and programmed to electrostatically treat the selected areas and surfaces with a hospital grade all-natural disinfectant.
Once mapping is complete it returns to a designated home charging station and is ready to roll. CBOT is always on duty 24/7 and will always show up to do its job!
For this select corporate facility, today April 4, 2022 workers are returning first time to their offices after being vacant for over 2 years!
CBOT has been embraced as part of a front-line and enhanced cleaning protocol to protect workers every day. The system is on a regular schedule to treat fields of cubicles and hot desks in less than 15 minutes without manual labor. Once complete a back-end report is generated verifying the time and completion of the treatment.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Financial institutions are adpoting CBOT as part of elevated cleaning protocols to protect staff and consumers. For this install, CBOT navigates through a 7,000 sq-ft bank branch daily treating the entire facility in under 10 minutes! This includes break-rooms, bathrooms, offices, cubicles, teller stations and customer areas without manual labor.
ROLLING INSTALLS NATIONALLY
Stay tuned.... more CBOT autonomous robots installs rolling out across the nation over the coming weeks!

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
