All of these products have    large, global markets - and we believe that the superior    performance of our GCL nano-composites will attract strong    customer demand.  <\/p>\n<p>    Our business model is to develop these    graphene\/aerogel prototypes, file patents for their    technologies, and then generate revenues from either licensing    the technologies or manufacturing the products (whichever is    more commercially attractive).  <\/p>\n<p>    Our seed funding round with Crowdcube attracted    tremendous interest (we closedit after three days)and it    enabled us to fund the development of our first prototype.
