Overview

Bringing Hope to Communities Through Tech-Powered Biopharma

iMBP is developing a revolutionary approach to drug discovery to help people live longer, healthier, and happier lives with their loved ones. Our founder, Chairman, and CEO Dr. Urban A. Kiernan, Ph.D. is a seasoned BioTech leader with decades of industry business and scientific research experience. However, his passion is what drives him beyond what any academic or work experience could ever afford him.

"The feeling of helplessness I experienced when my first wife died from cancer was devastating. Then, a single Dad with two little girls, the world turned upside-down. From this pain, I recognized the utopic potential the biopharma industry has to offer... and that is the power to keep families together... for just one more... one more memory to hold onto. You cannot put a price tag on that. This is my passion and this is why I created iMBP."

– Dr. Urban A. Kiernan –

Husband, Father, Founder & CEO of iMBP

The Problem & Our solution

Harnessing the Power of TechBio to Improve Drug Discovery & Development

Today’s developmental process for new, lifesaving drugs is complex, expensive, and time-consuming. The current industry solution is to simply spend more money, resulting in over-expensive therapeutics with marginal benefits. Ultimately, the deficiencies of this system places the cost burden on the people who need these therapeutic solutions most.

Our Solution was the development of iPlatform™, our proprietary computational approach that uses in-silico therapeutic discovery and molecular design to improve upon traditional biotechnology. This creates both economic and time-saving advantages to drug discovery, allowing for life-saving solutions to potentially reach the clinic faster and more affordably. This is the value that TechBio offers to you and your loved ones. Enabled through our partner Amazon Web Services (AWS), iPlatform™ is rapidly evolving and already producing drug asset leads for the expansion of the iMBP drug pipeline.

the market & Our Traction

Rapid Development & Progress in Multiple Massive Markets

Our drug asset efforts are currently focused in three primary areas: metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disease (Alzheimer’s Disease).

Our TechBio approach has allowed iMBP to achieve multiple milestones normally not experienced in BioTech companies until much later in life, including:

Two partnership agreements with Ligand Pharmaceuticals/OmniAb for drug asset development
A partnership agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for iPlatform™ development
Acceptance of iMBP into the McDermott Wills and Emory LEAP program for corporate legal counsel
Raised over $1,100,000 in total funding to date
An issued U.S. patent for proprietary therapeutic methodology (US/9,783,600)
Five established disease therapeutic asset programs, with four additional programs in preparation to go online
Preparation of first technology and two additional method IP set for provisional filing in December 2022
Assembled group of world renowned and experienced advisors and executive team members

CEO at Ligand Pharmaceuticals

In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the issuer and the terms of the offering, including the merits and risks involved. These securities have not been recommended or approved by any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority.

What is a Convertible Note?

A convertible note offers you the right to receive Preferred Stock in iMetabolic BioPharma. The amount of Preferred Stock you will receive in the future will be determined at the next equity round in which the Company raises at least $5,000,000.00 in a qualified equity financing. The highest conversion price per security is set based on a $25,000,000.00 Valuation Cap or if less, then you will receive a 10.00% discount on the price the new investors are paying. You also receive 3.50% interest per year added to your investment. When the maturity date is reached, if the note has not converted then you are entitled to receive Preferred Stock equal to your investment and interest back at a price per security determined by dividing the Valuation Cap by the aggregate number of outstanding equity securities of the Company as of immediately prior (on a fully diluted basis).

How much can I invest?

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.

When will I receive my shares?

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.

What will the return on my investment be?

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.

Can I cancel my investment?

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.

What is the difference between Regulation Crowdfunding and Regulation A+?

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.

None of the information displayed on or downloadable from www.startengine.com (the 'Website') represents a recommendation, offer, or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any security.

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.
