Executive Summary
At SRGB Quantum Capital, we believe the greatest wealth of the 21st century will come from identifying platforms before the world knows they’re platforms.
That’s why we’re introducing a quietly transformative initiative through our operating arms—SRGB Guaranty, Midway Chips, and 23See—to take a shareholder stake in what we believe is the next BYD. A battery startup in China has leapfrogged Tesla and CATL with a game-changing 4680 cylindrical battery that’s faster, safer, lighter, and cheaper than anything on the market. Think Tesla’s battery innovation, but with triple the margin and 31 R&D breakthroughs—compared to Tesla’s five.
But that’s just the beginning.
Just as Warren Buffett used insurance float from GEICO to invest early in BYD, SRGB Guaranty is combining insurance-driven float, 23See’s recurring SaaS cash flows, and Midway Chips’ AI processing tech to quietly enter a market that dwarfs even EVs: the personal android market.
The Quantum Spark - BYD Overview
Founding Conditions
Year: 1995
Founder: Wang Chuanfu (王传福), a chemist from a poor rural background in China.
Initial Focus: Rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries for mobile phones.
HQ: Shenzhen, China.
Strategic Leap 1: Vertical Integration
BYD built its empire through vertical integration, controlling everything from materials to assembly—an insight borrowed from quantum coherence, avoiding “energy loss” across organizational layers.
Strategic Leap 2: Entry into Auto (2003)
Acquired Qinchuan Auto Company (a struggling automaker), rebranded as BYD Auto.
First Hybrid: BYD F3DM (2008) — world’s first plug-in hybrid sold to the mass market.
Tech Transfer: Leveraged battery R&D into the EV space years ahead of Tesla’s global dominance.
Inflection Point: Buffett’s Bet
In 2008, Berkshire Hathaway bought a 10% stake for ~$230M. This gave credibility and cash flow. Warren Buffett was betting on Wang's long-term vision and China’s need for clean energy.
Core Businesses Today
2024 Key Metrics
EV Sales: ~3 million units globally (surpassing Tesla in China).
Global Expansion: Factories in Thailand, Hungary, Brazil, Uzbekistan; growing in Europe and Latin America.
Market Cap: ~$90–100B USD.
Competitors: Tesla (global), NIO, XPeng, Geely (domestic), Volkswagen (Europe).
Notable Models: Qin, Dolphin, Seagull, Han, Tang, Yuan Plus.
Challenges
Geopolitical Headwinds: Tariffs from U.S. and Europe (EU launched anti-subsidy probe in 2023).
Overcapacity Risk in China: Race-to-the-bottom pricing with NIO, Li Auto, XPeng.
Margin Pressures: LFP batteries are cost-efficient but offer lower margins than Tesla’s NCA-based packs.
BYD's Destiny
Superposition of Strategic Futures
State 1: Global Dominator
BYD becomes the “Toyota of the EV era”.
Outpaces Tesla in global market share.
Expands affordable EVs (like Seagull) into Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia.
Launches fully autonomous vehicles using in-house AI chips.
Secures lithium, cobalt, and rare earths through verticalized supply chains in Africa and Latin America.
State 2: US + EU Tech Cold War Victim
BYD faces harsh tariffs and barriers in Western economies.
Struggles with IP accusations, banned from government contracts.
Dominates Global South, but stagnates in Global North.
Margins squeezed due to oversupply and competition.
State 3: Energy Giant
BYD becomes a diversified energy infrastructure company.
Offers solar + battery storage + EVs as a “grid-in-a-box” solution.
Blade batteries become standard across aviation, shipping, and 2/3/4-wheel EVs.
Collaborates with Huawei or Tencent for vehicle OS dominance in China.
Why BYD Matters
Decoherence-resistant design: BYD has resisted being reduced to a single business unit (EV-only). Its full-stack manufacturing creates robustness against external shocks.
Quantum Leap Manufacturing: Their Gigafactories are not just copycats—they represent an evolving system capable of quickly adapting to new energy and AI innovations.
Entangled with National Strategy: China’s “New Energy Vehicle” (NEV) policy ensures BYD is never acting alone. It is an extension of national industrial strategy—akin to quantum entanglement with the CCP’s Five-Year Plans.
Final Thought: BYD as a Quantum as a System (QaaS)
BYD isn't just a car company. It’s a quantum organization:
It holds multiple realities (battery maker, car OEM, energy firm, AI chip player).
It collapses wave functions based on geopolitical observer interference.
Its coherence stems from Wang Chuanfu’s unified vision and China's macro industrial policy.
From building batteries to building dreams, BYD is already living the quantum future of mobility and energy—but whether it leads or lags depends on which timeline we end up collapsing into.
The Next Household Revolution: Owning Your First Android
Imagine a world where your next big purchase isn't a car… it’s an android.
Not a sci-fi fantasy—this is already underway in China. Androids are being deployed in hospitals, schools, homes, and cities. They monitor elderly parents, tutor children, cook meals, perform handyman tasks, and even provide emotional companionship. Backed by China’s industrial strategy, androids are expected to become ubiquitous by 2030, with the market reaching $10B+ annually and millions of units sold.
SRGB’s investment in this battery platform is our wedge into that future. These batteries will power the androids that one day run our households, just as Intel powered the PC revolution.
And through Midway Chips, we’re already building the AI chips for android brains—optimizing them for healthcare, voice, vision, and real-time emotional responses.
Why Investors Should Pay Attention
We’re modeling this on the Berkshire Hathaway playbook:
23See’s revenue cycle product fuels consistent, growing SaaS cash flow (projected $6M+ FCF annually by 2025)
SRGB Guaranty captures insurance float linked to the Healthcare Metaverse™
These combined flows are being used to secure an early stake in a 4680 battery startup with a projected revenue of ¥102B (~$14B USD) and 28% net margins by Year 3—nearly 3x higher than global leaders.
This is a company with a ¥6 trillion automotive battery TAM, and soon, it will dominate android and aerospace power systems.
We believe an early equity position here could generate 15–25x returns over the next 10–12 years—establishing a platform that could mint generational wealth for early participants, akin to those who got in early on BYD, NVIDIA, or Apple.
How SRGB Will Capitalize
Our roadmap includes:
🔋 Stake in the battery startup before IPO
🧠 Chip design integration through Midway Chips for AI-driven androids
🏥 Metaverse-linked risk scoring and telehealth APIs connected to 23See
🏗️ Infrastructure rollout from the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park
🌐 Capital syndication via the $75MM Healthcare Metaverse™ Infrastructure Metadollar Metabond ETF
By 2030, we aim to be the Berkshire Hathaway of the Healthcare Metaverse, with androids as household staples and SRGB embedded in every layer—from the insurance-backed financial rails to the chips in their minds.
The future is personal androids.SRGB is building the infrastructure to power them.
Introduction: Quietly Building a Revolution
At SRGB Quantum Capital, we’ve built our reputation on identifying platforms before they reveal themselves to the public. In the past, that meant backing transformative moments—like early moves into clean energy, AI, and quantum computing. Today, we see signals of the next global paradigm shift: the personal android. It won’t arrive with fanfare. Instead, as a rising tide, it will reshape daily routines, eldercare, parenting, household maintenance, and emotional support.
To bring this vision to life, three SRGB operating companies—SRGB Guaranty, Midway Chips, and 23See—are executing a multi-layered strategy learned from none other than Warren Buffett’s playbook. Like Berkshire Hathaway’s investment in BYD, which turned into one of the greatest wealth-generation stories of the 21st century, SRGB is deploying insurance float, recurring SaaS cash flows, and semiconductor ownership to acquire a stake in what we believe is the “next BYD.”
This stake is in a Chinese 4680 battery startup that has not merely challenged but outperformed market leaders like Tesla and CATL on four critical fronts—safety, speed, weight, and cost. But rather than stopping at batteries, this investment represents a springboard into China’s rapidly developing android market—a $10 billion+ opportunity well on its way to ubiquity in daily living.
The Battery as the First Wedge
A Breakthrough in 4680 Battery Technology
This Chinese company has achieved what once seemed impossible:
Ultra-safe: Explosion rate of 0.0001%, compared to Tesla’s 0.031% and CATL’s 0.077%
Fast-charging: Full-charge in 18 minutes (versus Tesla’s 52 mins, CATL’s 58 mins)
Weight reduction: 55% lighter than the CATL baseline, while Tesla’s design got heavier
Cost savings: 18% below CATL, 35% below Tesla
Behind this performance lies a staggering 31 technical breakthroughs—compared to Tesla’s five. These include advanced electrolyte formulations, ultra-thin high-strength casings, high-precision thermal management systems, and cutting-edge manufacturing methods.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
Using corporate projections, combined with independent forecasts, the global TAM for this battery spans over ¥10 trillion (~$1.38 trillion):
These figures align with global energy transition trends, rising demand for electric aviation and marine vessels, and military-grade systems. The opportunity extends far beyond EVs—though that remains the dominant market today.
Financial Trajectory
According to company forecasts:
Year 1: ¥80M investment → 1 GWh capacity → ¥1.5B revenue → 8% net margins
Year 2: ¥800M investment → 7 GWh → ¥10.5B revenue → 20% margins
Year 3: ¥8.2B investment → 68 GWh → ¥102B revenue → 28% margins (nearly 3× CATL, which remains below 10%)
These projections represent a hyper-growth trajectory, with net margins compounding at scale thanks to structural cost advantages and high ASPs.We anticipate that before IPO, this company will be one of the most valuable battery firms globally—yet its true potential lies in powering androids, not just vehicles.
From Insurance Float to Equity Acquisition
Berkshire Hathaway’s Playbook
Warren Buffett’s genius lay not in timing, but in constructing a financial turbocharger: insurance float. His purchases of GEICO and National Indemnity created a reservoir of investable capital. This capital was then poured into undervalued but structurally strong businesses—YEARS before the world caught up. His stake in BYD, initially undervalued, turned into one of Berkshire’s most profitable investments.
SRGB Guaranty: The New Float Engine
SRGB Guaranty is poised to emulate this model in today’s financial and technological ecosystem:
Insurance products linked to telehealth, remote monitoring, and healthcare within our Healthcare Metaverse™
Metabonds, a tokenized debt instrument that offers yield to investors while backing coverage for health and robotics risks
Structured insurance-infrastructure hybrid financing with embedded risk scoring via AI and compliance technology
This creates a pool of deployable capital that is both low-cost and long-duration—matched perfectly to our multi-year development roadmap.
23See: SaaS Cash Flow as Fuel
Another cornerstone of our capital base is 23See, our wholly-owned SaaS business:
ARR target for 2025: $16M
Net retention: 138%
EBITDA margin: 38%
Operating free cash flow: $6M+ annually
This business serves as the equivalent of Berkshire Hathaway Energy, steady and scalable. Its cash flows help seize equity stakes, fund R&D in Illinois, and support overseas expansion—all without unnecessary dilution.
Midway Chips: The Hardware Link
Powering Android "Brains"
We’re not just investing in batteries—we’re building embedded intelligence. Midway Chips designs and manufactures AI-optimized processors tailored for:
Battery management (thermal control, charging optimization)
Android perception (vision, voice, interaction)
Security (energy-efficient encryption, biometric identity)
Healthcare telemetrics (biometric data collection, fall detection, emotional analysis)
Semiconductor Strategy
Our goal is a licensed IP play, not a vertically integrated foundry. Midway Chips will bring specialized dies into China via JV partnerships in the Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park. These chips are tailor-made for the android ecosystem we’re constructing overseas—and they will generate licensing royalties tied to shaped-by-the-battery-and-android synergy.
China’s Personal Android Boom
Definition & Terminology
In China, androids are referred to as:
仿生机器人 / 仿人机器人 / 类人机器人 / 服务型机器人—robot types spanning bionic, human-like, humanoid, and service robots.
True "androids" are humanoid machines with hyper-realistic embodiments, emotional AI, social interaction, and human-like locomotion—intended for everyday living.
Key Market Drivers
Four strategic drivers underpin China’s android trajectory:
Aging PopulationThe UN projects that by 2050, 33% of China's population will be over 60. Human caregivers simply can’t scale. Android caregivers are emerging as cost-effective, reliable alternatives—monitors, companions, physical supporters.
Labor Shortages in Service SectorsElder care, early education, hospitality, healthcare—all are technology-intensive and labor-constrained. Androids are being deployed first in group elder homes, hospitals, airports, and hotels.
Government Support
Made in China 2025 designated intelligent service robots as priorities.
14th Five-Year Plan emphasized humanoid machines and AI.
National “Robot+” programs supported android pilots in public housing, eldercare, and dynamic public services.
Cultural EvolutionUrban Chinese, especially younger demographics, embrace novelty. While older generations currently display skepticism due to surveillance and "uncanny valley" anxiety, exposure is shifting preferences.
