Market Discussions

Thanks to helpful advice from two folks I'd rather not name-drop. Thanks as well to Rykker Bow, whose first Bond is the post that I used as a framework for this initial offering here on MD.

AIA Pharmaceuticals Bond

Chapter 1 - Purpose of the AIA Pharmaceuticals Bond

The purpose of the AIA Pharmaceuticals bond is to raise capital to expand from production of four products to at least sixteen, depending on shifting demand:

Current products offered:
Synth & Standard Drop
Synth & Standard Exile

Proposed product line:
Full array of Drop, Exile, Mindflood and Soothsayer

I began AIA's Pharmaceuticals division with 1.3b of my own ISK which I raised through market trading in Jita, and now that I've begun to build a clientele and educate users on the benefits and actual (versus assumed) risks involved in the use of combat boosters, folks are requesting products that I don't have the liquidity to invest in. In this bond I would like to raise the capital required to expand production so that I may not only offer my existing clients their desired drugs of choice, but also broaden my clientele by broadening my reach and expanding my market share.


Chapter 2 - Background

None of you are likely to know me or my main, Havohej, but I've been in the game since 2007 (minus a couple of breaks). My last break was from December 2014 until the beginning of August - I was working 12 hour days in the sales industry. As of August 2nd, I've been promoted to Office Manager and I get to be home by 3pm every day so I finally have time for spaceships again. I am an admin and co-founder of the RP community's OOC forum at http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com along with Silver Night and you may remember us having been featured in CCP's EVE Community Spotlight #17 (and given the Dev that posted that Community Spotlight thread, for those of us who know who he is/was, that was a very special moment indeed!). Note that I was inactive at the time that article was posted, but you can check my posting history there as well (under my main's name, Havohej, of course) to at least see that I've been around for a while and have managed to not become completely hated by everyone.

Chapter 3 - The Business Plan

Combat boosters are perhaps the last bit of unknown territory in Eve, in that most people don't know all the ins and outs of their production - those who do know tend to be fairly tight-lipped. The information is out there, but it's difficult to find all of the pieces and then put them together in the correct order. Lots of people attempt to make a go of it and lose incredible amounts of ISK and small pieces of their sanity because they missed this piece or that. I have all of the pieces in place (except sufficient starting capital).

I began the AIA Pharmaceuticals division with two production towers and a substantial supply of gas, BPCs and the necessary reactions to begin producing what I deemed to be the most sought-after low-level products. I took most of the initial profit and invested it in BPCs and reactions for a more varied assortment of products and now require only the liquid ISK to purchase the gases required for the reactions. According to the spreadsheet that I'm using, which I am prepared to share with any investor, each tower should be able to produce at least 700m worth of finished product per week, provided a steady supply of gas to maintain the reactions and keep the drug labs fed. As soon as I have a wider assortment of products and can fill user-specific orders on a timely basis, AIA Pharmaceuticals Division can begin to realize its profit potential.

In the long run, my intent is to recruit people interested in learning about Combat Booster production themselves, as well as explorers and gas miners to procure materials, BPCs and other related goods at below-market costs, thereby increasing what is already a substantial profit margin - much like Es and Whizz, the top drug production corporation in Eve, has been doing for years. I also intend to continue working to broaden by customer base, first by reaching out to customers who purchase more than 5 units at a time, as I've been doing, and inviting them to join the AIA Pharmaceuticals mailing list for product and pricelist updates, but also by exploring advertisement opportunities via high-traffic Eve-related websites and seeking opportunities to better-educate the player base as to the risks associated with use of combat boosters, as previously mentioned. This will allow us to prepare for whatever changes the new Citadel structures bring to the drug trade and hit the ground running when all of that takes place.

Chapter 4 - Statement of Assets

As of this posting, Akheteru Integrated Astrometrics owns two active production towers and associated modules and fuel, as well as BPCs, reactions, trade goods used as catalysts in the production process (all totaling approximately 1.6b), an Occator, a Viator and a Helios. As well as 815m liquid ISK in corp wallet.

Muh alt. I'm so proud of her!

Noted above, thank you for your confidence.

Just so everyone knows, I'm around in case anyone has questions or concerns that I didn't address in the proposal - and I can be found ingame in channel AIA Pharmaceuticals as well.

Hmph. Gallentean WHORE! Up to her nose in drugs. Figures. *spits*

In all seriousness though, I like this. Kindly reserve 15 bonds for me (1.5bil). Will send at earliest convenience when I log back in under... 16-ish hours or so?

I will take 1 bn or whatever crumbs the other investors have left.

Understood Ms. Akheteru.

1.5 Bil has been wired to you. Best of luck and have a smooth operation!
