REASONS TO INVEST

Conn3ct's products are currently in development to provide a tech-enhanced upgrade to what we believe is an outdated business model that exists within the trucking industry. Conn3ct is currently developing a mobile app to aid in eliminating the costly and complicated brokerage aspect of freight transportation, with the goal of creating a seamless system that empowers both drivers and customers.

We believe that the trucking industry acts as a lifeline for the American economy, transporting roughly 72.2% of the nation's freight and generating over $875.5B in gross revenue. By developing an accessible tool that caters specifically to this sector, we believe that Conn3ct has the potential to serve a robust customer base of over 1.1M for-hire carriers registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.*

Conn3ct was created to even the playing field for the drivers by eliminating compartmentalization of information. Our goal is to provide users with the ability to filter loads and information that is specific to their unique profile. We intend to include social media elements in future iterations of the app to allow drivers to interact and share information with one another.

Streamlined, Tech-based Booking Software for More Efficient Trucking


Conn3ct Inc. is in the process of designing a digital freight brokerage platform to make transporting goods easier than ever before by connecting customers directly to carriers.


*The above are images of Conn3ct's is beta app. The app is not currently available to the public.


We are designing the Conn3ct app to enable carriers with the opportunity to create their own tailored user profile and be matched with customers based on job logistics, such as the commodity being shipped, carrier proximity, capacity, and load capacities. We intend for our intuitive system to be able to filter all of the critical data, saving customers time and money, while allowing carriers to have more control over their workload and increase their earning potential.


*The Conn3ct app is currently in the beta stage, and is not currently available to the public.



The Problem & Our solution


Automating Freight Logistics to Empower Customers & Carriers Alike

Within the freight industry today, both customers and carriers remain heavily reliant on brokers to act as a go-between. Freight brokers are traditionally responsible for negotiating bookings, yet this order of operations can be chaotic and compartmentalized, resulting in lost time and money. As a way to eliminate the middleman and optimize efficiency, Conn3ct is creating a tech-based solution that simplifies the entire process.



With Conn3ct, our aim is to eliminate phone tag between multiple parties, hefty brokerage fees, and waiting for confirmed payloads. We are developing our trucking management system to provide a more accessible, cost-effective, & easy-to-navigate environment for all.


*The Conn3ct app is currently in the beta stage, and is not currently available to the public.


We are developing our app to enable customers to post freight jobs in real-time, which would then be filtered only to nearby carriers who fit their specifications. Similar to ordering a ride on a ride sharing app, once a carrier accepts the job, both parties are directly connected and have the ability to exchange critical information throughout the transaction – including invoices, arrival times, and live tracking updates.


*Conn3ct is currently pre-revenue and is currently accepting shippers and drivers to its waitlist.



the market & Our Traction


A Revolutionary Platform Primed to Partner with America's Lifeline

By developing an accessible tool that caters specifically to the trucking sector, Conn3ct has the potential to serve a robust customer base of over 1.1M for-hire carriers within a $875.5B industry.


*The Conn3ct app is currently in the beta stage and is not currently available to the public.       (source)


As Conn3ct Inc. prepares for our official launch, we have been working diligently to fully develop every aspect of our business model. The company has expanded its operations by hiring a Chief Marketing Officer, and we are rapidly growing brand awareness through our email wishlist, social media outreach, marketing campaigns, and consistent engagement with our target audience. Meanwhile, we believe that our connections within the industry translate to direct access to 300+ customers & over 2,000+ carriers.


*Conn3ct is currently pre-revenue and is currently accepting customers and carriers to its waitlist. The Conn3ct app is currently in the beta stage and is not currently available to the public.


Currently, our web-based system has an early beta build that is being optimized ahead of launch. Conn3ct plans to pursue patents on the proprietary aspects of the app upon their completion & integration. Conn3ct also recently participated in a request-for-quote (RFQ) and bid contract which valued the business at $40M in revenue.


With a long-term goal of hosting 100,000+ loads for carriers and managing 250,000 users daily, Conn3ct's team is confident in what we are creating, and we are eager to move forward to realize our platform's full potential.



Why Invest


Invest Today & Help Us Usher in a New Era in Freight Logistics

Trucking and shipping operations are integral to our international supply chain and economy, and according to reports, over 90% of carriers are small businesses, operating a fleet of six trucks or less. Carriers continue to be in high demand for delivering our everyday necessities, and now more than ever, the industry needs updated tools and technology to navigate new challenges.


You can be part of providing a cutting-edge solution by investing in Conn3ct today!

The apparent lack of transparency combined with a business model that seems to not be transformative or evolutionary but instead just a simple marketing clearinghouse for connection makes this a hard opportunity to consider. Perhaps I am mistaken; so please provide details as requested on this platform below.

What's up with all of the secrecy? Why can't I view questions and answers in order to determine whether you deserve my investment capital? Perhaps you can help me understand why I shouldn't find your approach to be off-putting.

I want to second this. It seems very strange that a company which wants to raise money here, does not want to publicly differentiate itself from its competitors, especially LaneAxis that, as far as I can tell from the pitch here, does exactly the same thing and also has a couple of patents.

DIVERSE INVESTMENTS

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.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment.

StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC. StartEngine Bulletin Board ("SE BB") is a bulletin board platform that advertises interest in shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings. SE BB enables shareholders to communicate interest in potential sales of shares in private companies and investors to discover, review, and potentially invest in private companies. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. SE BB is distinct and separate from StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”), which is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (ATS) operated by SE Primary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. While a security may be displayed on the bulletin board, these securities will be subject to certain restrictions which may prevent the ability to buy and sell these securities in a timely manner, if at all. Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on the bulletin board, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.
