"Our accelerator focuses on launching organ regeneration and recovery startups based on common core patented platform technologies. We operate like a tree nursery that develops proprietary seeds. We grow those seeds into small plants in pots and then sell them to strategic partners that grow them into full trees in a full orchard and harvests, markets and sells their fruit. We are not in the tree business, we are not in the orchard business, we are not in the fruit business. We realize our core strength is in inventing and patenting pioneering breakthrough technologies and getting them launched quickly with positive supporting data and key opinion leader endorsements. We believe we can do this in our areas of focus better than anyone else, faster and with less cost. It is this intense focus on what we do best that I believe is our greatest strength."
We offer two opportunities with us:
- Invest in our innovation & startup accelerator Leonhardt's Launchpads by Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. and own a piece of all 30 startups in our portfolio under 506(c) SEC rules – limited to accredited investors only, permits general solicitation. Company must use reasonable means to verify investor's accredited status usually with a 3rd-party reference.
- Invest directly in any of our startups that have matured to a level where they have been spun out of the accelerator into a stand-alone C corporation under 506(b) rules. Does not allow general solicitation. Allows up to 35 non-accredited investors. Accredited status is self-verified by investor.
For a limited time we are offering a 2:1 incentive to early stage investors in our innovation & startup accelerator Leonhardt's Launchpads by Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. By example, if you invest $30,000 you receive a $30,000 value common-stock certificate in Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. (which gives you partial ownership in all 30 startups) and you get a warrant to acquire $30,000 value of unit shares of startups within the accelerator. You have until Dec. 31st of the year you invested to decide your allocation. You can apply all $30,000 value of warrants to one startup such as HairCell or you can split as little as $1000 per startup in all 30 startups. If you do not let us know by Dec. 31st we will make that allocation split for you by splitting your money into $1,000 amounts (with any excess going into the last amount) and randomly investing your money into the startups, subject to the following restriction regarding startups that have converted from the LTP stage.
Note – All startups in our accelerator start as Licensable Technology Platforms (LTP's) and are only converted to be stand-alone C corporations once they have matured enough to be financially stable on their own. As an LTP they do not have their own bank account, tax return, accountant, CEO or board of directors. This is all handled by the accelerator on their behalf until they are spun out. If an LTP converts to a C corporation then in order to participate in the 2:1 early stage investor-incentive plan the allocation into the C corporation requires a 2nd approval by that corporation's board of directors before the allocation is accepted.
Our framework for driving growth and creating shareholder value = FOCUS on the right things.
- Focus on new applications for our platform technologies.
- Focus on the launch stage where we are most skilled and experienced.
- Focus on gaining patents on pioneering technologies.
- Focus on developing research collaborations with top-tier institutions and individuals.
- Focus on gaining opinion leader endorsements.
- Focus on gaining positive press and trade show exposure.
- Focus on gathering positive supporting data.
- After first-in-man data is received on organ regeneration and recovery technologies, seek a strategic partner (or 10,000 subscribers for Regenerative Economy innovations).
- Develop and nurture an innovation culture. Rapid prototyping. Try a lot of stuff and keep what works. Constant experimentation. Do. Try, Fix, Try again.
- Use profits from sales of quick-to-market Regenerative-Economy products to fund anti-dilutive development of longer-to-market Regenerative MedTech products and to cover overhead.
- Minimize dilution by keeping overhead low. Focus spending on patents, product, people, positive press, opinion-leader endorsements and data, not on overhead. Do more with less. Bootstrap even when we do not have to bootstrap.
- Cross-fertilize learning between organ-specific applications of core platform technologies = organ regeneration and recovery.

Risks and Warnings:
Investment in our innovation & startup accelerators(s) and our startups is deemed extremely risky. This type of investment is not suitable to inexperienced investors. This type of investment is not suitable for nest-egg savings. We are attempting technological achievements that have never been accomplished before by anyone else. We are operating with nowhere near the amount of capital and personnel resources deemed normally necessary to develop and bring to market these products. All of our agreements in all directions are subject to conditions, often financial, which may not be met. Although we attempt to ensure all information is accurate and up to date across over 10,000 pages on over 40 web sites it is highly likely there are mistakes and outdated information. By entrepreneurial inclination we accentuate the positive in our news developments and reduce attention to the negatives. Our team has failed in the past to have full commercial success with products and return on investment to investors where we thought commercial success was possible and even probable. By experience with new early stage innovations of our 30 startups we realistically can expect most to fail to reach their set goals and at best only a few of them, if any, to reach great success.
- We are operating with far fewer funds and a smaller staff than all the competitors we know of in the fields we operate in today. We may not have sufficient capital or personnel resources to bring our products through first-in-man studies as is our goal. We have nowhere near the capital to bring any of our products all the way to market through all phases of clinical trials normally required.
- Our patents and patent options + licenses are all subject to conditions, maintenance fees and other requirements that may not be met due to cash flow difficulties.
- We may be sued for patent infringement by other patent holders.
- Our strategic partnerships and research agreements are all subject to conditions and requirements which may not be met.
- Our technologies are not proven to be either safe or effective and are all early stage in nature.
- The disease states we are addressing, such as heart failure, have a history of failed attempts at new technologic breakthroughs.
- A disproportionate to normal substantial portion of our capital goes to breakfasts, lunches and dinners with advisors, investigators, potential and existing investors, researchers, potential and existing employees and board members and potential strategic partners.
- Howard J. Leonhardt has at this time complete voting majority of shares for nearly all startups in our accelerator(s) and the accelerator itself. In many cases he has special voting rights for him to maintain his control of ownership through an exit sale.
- Howard J. Leonhardt and our entire core staff is spread thin across not only the 30 startups in our accelerator but other endeavors.
- Most of our management team and board have other jobs other than working just for us.
- No stem-cell-based organ-regeneration startup that we know of has become a commercial success yet.
- The goal to fully regenerate damaged or diseased organs back to full health and function has not been accomplished by anyone ever before.
- We may be sued for misleading investors although we attempt not do so.
- We may be sued for injuring patents although we attempt not to do so.
- We are entering industries with high regulatory obstacles and may not meet all those obligations to remain in compliance considering in particular our small staff and low amount of funds.
- We generally utilize substantially less legal, accounting and regulatory outside help than most counterparts in our industry. This puts us in position of greater risk.
- We generally purchase substantially less insurance coverage than most counterparts in our industry.
- Our labs and research may be in violation of environmental regulations.
- Our labs and research may be in violation of animal ethics regulations.
- We do not have control of our manufacturing quality or continuity of supply since we work 100% with external manufacturers.
- Competitors with more resources may be able to copy our products and bring them to market more quickly.

2017 Brief Summary Achievements
WARNING: These elevator pitches are brief and concise by nature. By being so brief appropriate risks are not conveyed in these short statements. These elevator pitches reflect only the most positive optimistic personal opinions of the startup founders. Full risk statements are found at the bottom, in our private placement memorandum and other locations. These risk warnings include – Our patents may not hold up or protect us. Our patents pending may not be issued. We have too little data to support any performance claims definitively at this time. Early data is uncontrolled and is not statistically significant. We are underfunded for the work we plan to do. We are understaffed for the work we plan to do. Our small staff is diverted from focused attention with other jobs and many projects. All of our advisor, employment, supplier and patent license option agreements are subject to conditions which may not be met and are often in arrears due to financial constraints. We are attempting to achieve product performance goals never reached before by other groups with substantially higher amount of resources.
2018 Likely to Be In Position for Securing Strategic Partner
> OrthodontiCell = Competitor Invisilign is worth $13.7 billion. They straighten teeth in 18 months. We believe based on early small animal data and lab experiments and studies conducted with RANKL and OPG by others that we can straighten teeth in 6 months. They have no provision to freeze teeth straight > we believe we do with our patent pending bioelectric controlled release of OPG. Current Status = We are completing now final animal studies at Forysyth Institute in Boston and plan to enter clinical trials the 1st half of 2018 at Tufts University, UCLA and UCSF in San Francisco.
> VascuStim – Over 1 million diabetic related amputations are expected this year alone. Over 23 million amputations are expected by 2030. The diabetes population is exploding rising from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014 and expected to increase by 25 to 50% more by 2030. Vascustim through collaborations has completed clinical studies in Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland and Mexico in more than 70 patients utilizing bioelectric microcurrent stimulation and/or stem cells. Over 30 papers have been published by a variety of teams from around the world documenting the benefits of bioelectric stimulation in improving wound healing A separate study was completed independently by researchers in Czech Republic demonstrating the benefit of adding selected growth factors. Our partners in Utah for amniotic fluid membranes have documented dozens of cases of diabetic leg and foot wound healing and numerous independent studies have been published documenting the same. The VascuStim approach is to combine specific bioelectric stimulation signals for stem cell homing, blood vessel growth, healing and tissue regeneration with stem cells and selected growth factors for healing diabetic foot and leg ulcers and for limb salvage. In some studies in some countries such as the USA we will utilize only bioelectric stimulation and amniotic fluid membranes to get started due to regulatory constraints. Our bench top bioelectric stimulator via our manufacturing partner in California already has FDA 510K market clearance for improving blood circulation. Amniotic fluid membranes are already marketed under the homologous exemption by our Utah based manufacturing partner. Current Status = We now are launching a worldwide paid registry clinical trial at more than 30 centers with plans for us getting paid for the product during the studies under category B designation reimbursement.
> Second Heart Assist = Competitor Abiomed is worth $8.4 billion. We believe we have designed a pump that has the potential to beat theirs in many performance parameters (Pending study data to confirm). Our 2nd generation chronic implant is on track to be first wireless powered device with long term protection against thrombosis and hemolysis. Current Status > We are completing now a series of large animal studies at leading U.S. institution (s) and plan to apply to the FDA to begin an Early Feasibility Study clinical trial some time in 2018. We have recruited an all-star team to lead this initiative including Dr. Leslie Miller as CMO, Jeff Donofrio as President, Dr. Mark Kroll as Senior Advisor, Dr. Mark Cunninham as Chief CardioThoracic Surgery Advisor, Dr. Samer Banihani as Chief Nephrology Advisor and Dr. Nic Chronos and Dr. Jon Sherman as Cardiology Advisors. Jane Reedy formerly from Thoratec and HeartWare has joined our team to lead Clinical and Regulatory Affairs with assistance from Larry Stevens, a former FDA reviewer, as our lead regulatory consultant and Todd Seiger as Chief Reimbursement Consultant. Product is in early stage testing. Any performance claims are subject to verification by properly controlled studies, which have yet to be completed.
> Stem Cell Bra = We believe our stem cell homing, proliferation and differentiation bioelectric bra can increase a woman's breast fullness 30% in 4 to 6 weeks wearing the bra for only 1 hour every other day based on early stage sheep studies we completed in Argentina with these results. Over 1 billion women worldwide would be interested in acquiring a bra that increase their breast fullness safely by recruiting their own stem cells from their own fat and bone marrow with a homing signal. Current Status > We completed one round of successful sheep studies in Argentina with histopathology examination to verify safety. We are now are enrolling in second round of large animal studies. We recruited Dr. Joel Aronowitz of Cedars Sinai UCLA as Chief Medical Advisor. His team led the first ever case of stem cell repair of a cancer stricken breast in the USA with FDA clearance.
> HairCell = Competitor Samumed using WnT signaling technology is worth $12 billion. They get 10% hair growth. We believe we can achieve as high as 30% hair follicle density improvement. Current Status = We are planning to enter clinical trials in Canada and Argentina early 2018.
> CancerCell = Competitor Novocure reached $2 billion valuation this year. They use bioelectric signals to jam cancer tumor communication. Pulse Biosciences another competitor reached $450 million valuation peak this year. Both have published positive results utilizing bioelectric stimulation to shrink or eliminate cancer tumors, NovoCure in the brain and Pulse Biosciences for skin cancer. Pulse Biosciences changes the surface proteins of a tumor so the body attacks it – immunotherapy. Our CancerCell product has 7 part bioelectric therapy for cancer including early detection of tumors, reading tumors and custom jamming communication, cell division stop signal, blood supply starving signals, surface protein expression change so body attacks tumor – immunotherapy all followed by regeneration signals. Current Status = We have launched translational research studies at the Pacific Neurosciences Research Institute in Santa Monica, CA.
> BioLeonhardt = A Leonhardt team achieved 95.7 meters improvement in exercise capacity 6 minute walk testing over placebo in a Phase II/III trial of muscle stem cells alone in treating advanced heart failure at 33 leading sites the USA. We now are applying the combination of muscle stem cells with bioelectric stimulation, selected growth factors and other agents (exomsomes, Micro RNAs, heart matrix, nutrient hydrogel, selected alkaloids) with repeat delivery via a micro infusion pump. We have a goal with this new therapy combination to achieve 200 meters improvement in exercise capacity measure by 6 minute walk. CRT/ICD pacers are a $9 billion industry and they achieve only 16 to 20 meters improvement. We can program our patented and patent pending bioelectric stimulation signals for stem cell homing, proliferation and differentiation + 15+ regeneration and blood vessel growth promoting proteins into existing CRT/ICD pacers with an additional lead directed to the myocardial scar tissue. Our bioelectric programming includes real time monitoring and total management of inflammation via our InStim patent pending technology. This technology has the potential to be the first to totally regenerate failing hearts. Current status = we are completing animal studies at University of Utah and plan to enter clinical trials in late 2018 OUS.
2019 Likely to Be In Position for Securing Strategic Partner
> CerebraCell = Last year a Stanford team shocked the world reporting cerebral stroke patients in wheelchairs got up and walked again after one time injections of modified stem cells to the damaged brain regions. Our team working with the Pacific Neurosciences Institute in Santa Monica is embarking on translational research studies combining biolelectric stimulation controlled release of a stem cell homing protein with 14+ other brain regeneration promoting protein expression signals with a micro infusion pump and our CC-15 fifteen component brain regeneration composition comprised of stem cells, growth factors, amniotic fluid, selected alkaloids including harmine, exosomes, Micro RNAs, nutrient hyrdogel and brain matrix. Cerebracell has in its planned pipeline treatments not only for stroke but also for concussion, TBI, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Epilepsy and even for brain enhancement in healthy people with our Brain-N-Hance product. Current Status > Developing a non-invasive bioelectric stimulation helmet. Presented at Neuro Tech Leaders Forum and North Bay Innovation Summit. Launching translational research studies at Pacific Neurosciences Institute Santa Monica. Recruited Dr. Santosh Kesari as Chief Medical Advisor. Developing bridges to UCLA's Brain Institute for collaborative research. Planning animal studies at Los Angeles Biomedical Institute and other locations. Consulting with experts at Tufts University. Recruited Dr. Warren Merrifield as an advisor with substantial brain diagnosis experience. Recruited Dr. Lin Nih from UCLA Brain Institute as an advisor. Working to file research grant applications. We just upgraded the web site www.cerebracell.com
> MyoStim ED – Over 322 million men worldwide suffer of erectile dysfunction. Our bioelectric stimulation method is comprised of a simple conductive wrap connected to either a bench top or miniature bioelectric stimulator. We believe our signals for expressing SDF-1, HGF, PDGF, VEGF, eNOS, HIF alpha, Follistatin and Tropoelastin will be more effective than other treatment options and less painful with less risk of infection the needle injections. Current Status – We recently applied for an NIH research grant working with Dr. Nestor Gonzalez-Cadavid at Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute that is intended to lead through translational studies in collaboration with Harbor UCLA Medical Center.
> SkinCell Stimulator by MyoStim Skin – Well over 1 billion men and women worldwide use some product to attempt to improve the healthy youthful appearance of their facial and neck skin. Our bioelectric stimulation method is comprised of a simple conductive mask connected to either a bench top or miniature bioelectric stimulator. We believe our signals for expressing SDF-1, HGF, PDGF, VEGF, eNOS, HIF alpha, Follistatin and Tropoelastin will be more effective than other treatment options and less painful with less risk of infection the needle injections. Current Status – We are finalizing safety focused pre-clinical studies. We plan to launch an international clinical registry trial in multiple countries including Argentina, Canada, Mexico and Australia for skin regeneration.
> PancreaCell – Over 420 million worldwide suffer of diabetes. The primary cause of diabetes is a malfunctioning pancreas exasperated by chronic inflammation. Our PancreaCell product is designed to address both these underlying causes with a bioelectric treatment stand alone option in mild cases and for severe cases a combination bioelectric + micro infusion pump + fifteen component PC-15 pancreas regeneration composition with repeat deliveries. Current Status – We are in the process to apply to NIH, JDRF and other diabetes related research funding organizations in 2018 for grant funding working with the Diabetes Research Institute at the University of Miami with Dr. Camillo Ricordi. November of 2017 we made it to the finals of the nationwide American Diabetes Association National Innovation Pitch Contest. We recruited Dr. Harish Kapoor as President. Dr. Camillo Ricordi is aboard as advisor and we have reached out to engage research collaboration with Dr. Klearchos Papas at the University of Arizona.
> PressureStim – Over 1.2 billion people worldwide suffer of high blood pressure. Some estimates indicate up to 50% of all Americans suffer some form of blood pressure abnormality. High blood pressure increases the risk of many disease states that lead to premature death. Our team has developed a bioelectric stimulation modulation system designed to manage blood pressure in patients. Current Status – Patents filed. Searching for potential collaborative research partners in California and Utah.
> Valvublator – Our team patented and developed the first percutaneous heart valve which today is the standard of care for hundreds of thousands of patients. Today we believe we have obsoleted our own invention with an even better invention. The Valvublator helps people keep their own heart valve instead of getting an artificial or animal based implant. The current artificial heart valve market is nearly $9 billion annually. Cleaning, maintaining, regenerating your own heart valve is expected to open up a much larger market valued at over $15 billion annually. The concept is to clean up and regenerate heart valves early with a catheter based procedure before the disease is so progressed that malfunction occurs. We clean our teeth to stop plaque formation. We need to start doing the same with our heart valves. Our team is leading the way. Current Status – Patents filed. Working to build and testing first working prototypes. Set up to do first in man studies after pre-clinical studies in Italy with Dr. Antonio Colombo.
2020 Likely to Be In Position for Securing Strategic Partner
> LiverCell – About 50 million people worldwide suffer of liver disease. Our bioelectric stimulation + micro infusion pump + LC-15 fifteen component liver regeneration composition we believe can be more effective than other treatment options for liver function and health recovery. Current Status – We recruited Ben Boytor as President. We are working now to file research grant applications and have held some meetings with the liver regeneration team at Duke University to attempt to initiate translational research studies.
> BioPace – Over 3 million people worldwide have an implanted electronic pacemaker. The A-Fib market is estimated to be nearly $14 billion annually. Over 400,000 deaths annually in the USA alone are attributed to electrical heart abnormalities. All healthy people function well with a natural biological pacemaker made up of living cells and healthy conduction cells within their heart. BioPace is working to develop and has patent and patent pending a pipeline of products that utilize bioelectric signaling + stem cells + growth factors + optogenetics to restore normal pacing and electrical conduction within an ailing heart. We believe restoring your own natural heart pacing function with living cells, the way it is built in the first place, is a far better alternative to getting a steel can with an electronic circuit board, battery and steel leads in your heart. Current Status – Working with Dr. Alonso Moreno at the University of Utah Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute we are filing multiple research grant applications and we are building and testing prototypes as well as filing new patent claims.
> AortaCell – Our team in the 1990's developed and patented one of the first and leading endovascular stent graft system for repairing aortic aneurysms without surgery. There are over $1 billion of annual sales of these products now worldwide. We now believe we have obsoleted our previous invention with AortaCell. AortaCell utilizes bioelectric stem cell homing, proliferation and differentiation signals to repair an aortic aneurysm with living cells and living smooth muscle instead of an artificial fabric and metal implant. Current Status – We have recruited Dr. Barry Katzen, Dr. Jacob Cynamon, Dr. Sam Ahn, Dr. Leslie Miller, Dr. Juan Parodi and Dr. Harrison Lazarus to the AortaCell team. They are leaders in the field of aortic aneurysm repair. We are currently building and testing prototypes and plan to begin pre-clinical animal studies soon.
> DentaCell Accelerator – Our team is leading an innovation accelerator focused on applying our core technology platform of bioelectric stimulation + micro infusion pumps + stem cell and growth factor based compositions to dentistry. We are combining this with a commitment to personalized, functional and holistic medicine approaches in dentistry. Current Status – We are developing products for controlling infections, inflammation, pain and accelerated healing related to dental procedures. We have recruited Tom Newman as President and Dr. Val Kanter as Chief Medical & Scientific Advisor. We expect to be initiating clinical trials soon. We have established tooth pulp banking services as our first commercial product.
> EyeCell – A number of reports have come out this year demonstrating the ability of stem cell injections to recover some forms of blindness. Some reports have highlighted the great risks associated with this type of research. We believe our product which comprises a combination of a bioelectric stimulator, which includes stem cell homing capability, a micro infusion pump and our EC-15 fifteen component eye regeneration composition can potentially be more effective and possibly safer than other treatment options. Current Status – We have completed two phases of pre-clinical studies of EyeCell in human cadaver eyes and we are now moving into animal studies at the University of Utah. We recently received animal ethics committee approval to begin the study.
2021 Likely to Be In Position for Securing Strategic Partner
> InStim – Noncommunicable chronic diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and pulmonary, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases are becoming the leading cause of death throughout the world. Most of these risk factors are closely linked to chronic inflammation, which leads to the development of these various chronic diseases. Over 2 billion people worldwide suffer of some form of inflammation. The market for anti-inflammatory drugs is expected to reach $106 billion by 2020. InStim is the first therapy designed and intended to read inflammation and custom delivers the precise bioelectric signals to express the precise correct anti-inflammatory or inflammatory cytokines in the proper sequence to promote optimal recovery, health and function. The InStim microprocessor holds information on the ideal healing responses in people that recover well from an event that may trigger inflammation. This is a baseline for custom bioelectric inflammation modulation. Current Status – Patents filed. Seeking out research partners to begin studies. Prototypes being built and tested.
> CoroStim VibroCell – Blood clot, calcification and plaque formation on blood contact surfaces is a leading cause of death. Thrombosis alone contributes to more than 52.8 million deaths annually according to the GBD. The CoroStim VibroCell team has developed a vibrational harmonic resonance energy technology that it believes can possibly stop blood clots, calcification and plaque from forming on both natural and artificial blood contact surfaces. Blood clots have been the Achille's Heel of long term circulatory assist support devices and heart valves. Current Status – Patents filed. Building prototypes for testing. Seeking out research collaborators.
> KidneyCell – Over 2 million people worldwide receive treatment for chronic kidney disease or failure. 1 in 10 people in the USA will afflicted with kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease often triggers chronic inflammation which leads to multiple organ failure including heart failure. Our team has developed a combination bioelectric stimulator + micro infusion pump + KC-15 fifteen component kidney regeneration composition designed and intended for kidney regeneration and chronic inflammation treatment and management. We believe that this therapy can possibly be more effective than other treatment options. Current Status – Filed patents. Building and testing prototypes in our lab. Seeking research collaborators to initiate translational research studies.
> BladderCell – Nearly 300 million people worldwide suffer of some sort of bladder control problem. Our team has developed a combination bioelectric stimulator + micro infusion pump + BC-15 fifteen component bladder regeneration composition designed and intended to regenerate failing bladders back to their original health and function. Numerous independent studies have confirmed the ability for electrical stimulation and stem cell injections to improve bladder function. Current Status – We are building and testing prototypes in our lab. We filed patent claims. We are seeking out research collaborators.
> RegenaLung – Over 3 million people die each year from chronic respiratory diseases. Recent studies have shown the strong potential for stem cell therapy to improve lung recovery including reducing chronic inflammation. Our team has developed the first combination bioelectric stimulator + micro infusion pump + RL-15 fifteen component stem cell based lung regeneration composition therapy for lung regeneration. Current Status – Filed patents. Held potential research collaboration meetings with Cedars Sinai UCLA Dr. Barry Stripp, Mayo Clinic and University of Utah researchers. Preparing to launch translational research studies.
> MucosaCell – Small intestinal submucosa (SIS) is a bio-derived extracellular matrix scaffold with remarkable repairing ability for soft tissue. Our team is working to leverage these healing properties for a variety of applications as a scaffold or hydrogel substrate. We are also working to potentially regenerate sub mucosa tissues throughout the body with a combination of bioelectric stimulation and repeat deliveries of the MC-15 fifteen component sub mucosa regeneration composition via a micro infusion pump. Current Status – Recruited Dr. Stuart Williams as Chief Scientific Officer and we plan to soon initiate research at the University of Louisville Cardiovascular Innovations Research Center. In process of filing patents.
2022 Likely to Be In Position for Securing Strategic Partner
> BioLeonhardt Whole Body – This vision is the most ambitious long term research initiative of the Leonhardt team focused on whole body regeneration. The team is planning to first introduce first Bod-Stim a bioelectric body suit formed into yoga pants, pilates wear and athletic under garments to help people optimize their exercise results and recovery. The ambitious far reach end goal of BioLeonhardt Whole Body is the development of a body regeneration chamber that reduces aging by 30 years and extends life by 30 years by scanning the body and directing stem cell repair of organs. We intend for this product to include inflammation management as early cancer detection and cancer tumor eradication with bioelectric energy and other means. Current Status – First of series of patents filed. First conversations with National Science Foundation Regenerative Medicine SBIR Director about funding. Currently building and preparing for first studies the first Bod-Stim full body suits. Developing strategic partnerships with intelligent textile providers and other key component providers.
> The California Stock ExchangeTM – On path with vision to be the first social good impact stock exchange in the USA.

Leonhardt's Launchpads is the innovation and startup accelerator arm of Leonhardt Ventures founded by Howard J. Leonhardt in 1982. Howard Leonhardt is an inventor and serial entrepreneur with 21 issued organ regeneration and recovery patents and dozens of more patent claims pending at the USPTO – https://patents.justia.com/inventor/howard-j-leonhardt. Leonhardt Ventures has been bringing organ regeneration and recovery innovations to market since 1982. In the 1980's they patented and pioneered cardiovascular balloon catheter development – PolyCath. In the 1990's they patented and developed the leading stent graft system for endovascular repair of aortic aneurysms TALENT and the first percutaneous heart valve. Their team completed the first ever stem cell repair of an animal heart in 1988 and landmark first-ever non-surgical stem cell repair of a human heart in 2001. In 1999 they published their first paper on bioelectric based organ regeneration in CIRCULATION. Leonhardt Ventures has raised over $140 million to fund its startups since its founding and has had primary exits valued at $440 million and secondary exits exceeding $4.3 billion. In 2008 they opened up their first incubator/accelerator in Northern California followed in 2013 in Southern California and 2015 in Utah. These accelerators currently incubate 30 startups 27 of which are focused on bioelectric and endovascular based organ regeneration and recovery. Most of the startups in the accelerator are based on Leonhardt's patented and patent pending bioelectric stimulation platform technology for stem homing, proliferation and differentiation and organ regeneration via controlled protein expressions. The 2017 startup portfolio is the culmination of over 35 years experience in organ regeneration and recovery research and experimentation.
Our accelerator business model is to advance each startup to first-in-man results and then sell to a strategic partner/buyer preferably with a 3% royalty forward on net sales. Our goal is 23X ROI on accelerator shares and 63X on individual startup shares after 5 years. See schedule chart below of expected exits timing over the next 5 years.
Investments at this time are all 2:1 meaning if you invest $30,000 in the innovation accelerator you receive $30,000 worth of shares of the accelerator stock AND also a 2:1 a warrant valued at $30,000 to acquire at no further charge $30,000 worth of shares of any or all of the 30 startups in the 2017 accelerator portfolio class– You have until Dec. 31st of the year you invest to decide your allocation of your warrant to any or all of the startups you choose.
The startups generally are owned as follows = 50.1% owned by Leonhardt Ventures LLC, 9 to 20% owned by Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. DBA Leonhardt's Launchpads and the balance 29.9% to 40.9% owned by management, advisors and outside shareholders. The startups generally start out with a valuation of $2.3 to $5 million and the target goal is to sell them in 5 years or after first-in-man data comes in, which ever comes first, at $240 to $800 million with ideally a 3% royalty on net sales forward. We strive as a goal to keep dilution to 37% over 5 years with our anti-dilutive business model.

QUOTE – "These are forward looking projections. As we are a startup the only thing we can guarantee is that we will miss them over and over again, until we survive our own mistakes" Rachid Sefrioui, Professional Investor, Venture Capitalist @ Finaventures, Entrepreneur
By nature of being extremely short in scope elevator pitches leave out relevant risks and can be misleading in portraying a technology or company to be better than it may appear if a more lengthy and comprehensive presentation is made. The conciseness of the language by nature is slanted to the positive and de-emphasizes risks and obstacles.
These risks include…
1. Startups may not have or secure resources to brings it products to market.
2. None of these startups have tested their products sufficiently enough to make any definitive product or company performance claims.
3. The startups patents pending may not be issued. Patent license agreements may not hold up.
4. All the company agreements, including patent licenses, supply and research agreements are subject to conditions which may not be met or may not have already been met to keep them active and enforceable.
5. The company with a small staff undertaking so many activities is bound to have mistakes in information and outdated information on selected web sites and other documents.
6. Any early stage investment is high risk but these startups are even higher risk since they attempt to take on very large medical problems where other firms with much more substantial resources have failed.
7. No other firm has been highly successful financially in stem cell or bioelectric based organ regeneration. Most of the startups in these accelerators are attempting to do something which has never been done before.
8. Traditionally it costs hundreds of millions of dollars just to bring one of these products to market and many years of development by a focused team of professionals. This accelerator business model attempts to bring up to 30 innovations through first-in-man studies with a substantially smaller staff with dramatically substantially less resources than our traditionally required for even one startup of this type. This in and of itself is and indicator of associated extremely high investment risk.
9. Personnel highlighted as being involved in the projects and startups are nearly all part time and are not compensated most often by cash. Many consultants and advisors listed limit their help to a few hours annually. A number do not have signed agreements in place and are working with the companies in a less formal capacity.
10. Research projects started may not be finished for a variety of reasons.

These risks include in brief – patents cited may not protect us, patent license agreements may not hold up, patents pending may not be issued, company lacks resources to complete research, early data is not enough to determine definitively if technology works, all agreements are subject to conditions being met and due to lack of financial resources the likelihood and risk of not meeting such conditions is high, many agreements may not be properly ratified or signed, company is underfunded and understaffed and personnel aboard have diverted attention with other jobs and many projects.

Investment in the Company carries substantial risk and may involve special risks that could lead to a loss of all or a substantial amount of such investment. Unless prospective applicants for shares fully understand and accept the nature of the Company and the potential risks inherent in the Company they should not invest in the Company. A prospective investor should consider carefully whether an investment in the Company is suitable for themselves in the light of their personal circumstances, the economic climate and the financial resources available to them. There can be no assurance that the Company's objectives in respect to any of its funds will be achieved and investment results may vary substantially over time. As such, an investor's capital may be at risk.

Disclaimer Regarding the Term "Companies" Used in our Materials: In our accelerator and incubator terminology "companies" often refers to a new innovation being developed with full intention to form a separate spin out company IN-THE-FUTURE when the innovation has completed mentored incubated development into a full fledged organization with a web site, slide deck, basic business plan, board, team and has gotten some marketplace traction, including independent funding or revenues, to commence operations as a stand alone independent separately legally formed corporation. We DO NOT file "companies" to become independent separate legal entity "C or S corporations" until they are at an advanced stage of development and are deemed by our board or lead management to be ready to survive on their own. All early stage seed "companies" within the accelerator/incubator share the same accelerator or venture fund checking account, accounts payable and receivable clerks, accountants, lawyers, web site developers, support staff, consultants, advisory board, conference rooms, offices, telephone systems, internet wifi accounts and even management personnel until they are advanced enough with a dedicated focused team in place with strength enough to be pushed out of the next to fly on their own and feed themselves (get their own independent funding). We avoid filing to early stage "companies" to be independent stand alone legally registered " C or S corporations" until they are truly deemed to be fully ready to be self reliant. This avoids un-necessary legal fees associated with city, county, state and federal filings. So until they are legally spun out as a separate entity these "companies" or "innovations" are officially product innovation development teams or projects under the Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. or Leonhardt Vineyards LLC DBA Leonhardt Ventures umbrella organizations. Our Private Placement Memorandum for Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. published on the password protected sitewww.healthiosxchange.com (reserved for verified accredited investors only) provides clear guidance on which "companies" have moved from being internal or external innovations under development into full fledged separate stand alone legal entities.
Accuracy of Information Disclaimer: Representations and warranties – although we fully believe that our executive summaries, newsletters, websites and other written materials and videos accurately represent a true and accurate general high level picture of our activities, history and progress – which is developing about 15 early stage un-proven cardiovascular life innovations and 15 early stage startup social good impact innovations (including new media social good projects) in an accelerator/incubator – we acknowledge that working with a very small core staff covering many thousands of pages of written materials across over 40 web sites with over 4000 sub-pages that we are highly prone to small errors, outdated materials and a certain level on inaccuracy and inconsistencies even while fully striving for the utmost accuracy. Across the 30 innovations and over 2000 working partnerships being developed there are changes and events that occur almost daily. We do our best to keep all websites and published materials fully up to date but recognize and make clear it is nearly impossible for our small staff to keep all materials on all web sites 100% up to date despite our best efforts to do so. Investors have the advantage with us that our small staff operates with a very low overhead but the offset disadvantage is that we do not have on hand the staffing to handle all the constant updates and proofreads needed to keep thousands of pages of materials up to date and 100% accurate 100% of the time. If you have ANY direct question about any published item of material interest to you – JUST ASK for clarification by emailing direct Howard Leonhardt at firstname.lastname@example.com or calling our office DIRECT LINE at 310 310 2534. We will strive to provide a clarification or update to you promptly.

Thinking about passion tonight; how it's necessary for life. How it can blind us, bring us pain, or ecstatic joy. And the different meanings of "passion:"
~Intense or overpowering emotion such as love, joy, hatred, or anger.
~Any object of warm affection or devotion.
~Strong, enthusiastic devotion to a cause, ideal, or goal and tireless diligence in its furtherance; boundless enthusiasm.
~Fervor, fire, zeal, ardor.
A religious definition: The suffering of Jesus Christ, especially the agony in Gethsemane and on the cross.
And an aesthetic correlation: "Passion" is a musical, first staged on Broadway in 1994, adapted from Ettore Scola's film "Passione d'Amore" (which was, in its turn, based on Igino Tarchetti's novel, "Fosca").
That leaves us with our personal definitions, our longings, our hopes-to-be, and, for some of us, more questions…

Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.
--Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.
--Carl Buechner
He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason.
--Macus Cicero
Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.
--D.H. Lawrence
