    Investor relations

    We are a young company from Switzerland, which has partnered with renowned suppliers from the automotive to the med-tech industry to develop an understated, high-end electric cigarette in the form and size of a traditional tobacco cigarette.

    Like most start-ups, especially the ones developing a hardware product from scratch, we rely on outside investments. Luckily, we are not only among those that were able to find many supporters that lend us their trust and became shareholders but also among the very few to find a way to process and manage investments and a large base of shareholders in the easiest and most efficient way. Together with the help of Zurich based Aktionariat AG we have started to tokenize parts of our shares so that today it’s possible to directly buy shares of our company without intermediaries via the Aktionariat Brokerbot® on this website.

    Our shares

    Carnault AG is a Swiss corporation based in Basel with trade register number CHE-352.010.237. Its purpose is to create a cigarette that keeps alive the magic of a tobacco cigarette while making the sensation less invasive.

    KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR

    As long as Carnault cigarettes are not yet available and Carnault AG does not generate any sales, a large focus is on collecting investments. A high trading volume in the CAS Brokerbot may indicate a positive business development.

    Valuation

    The Carnault AG was first valued at CHF 1’000’000 with a price of CHF 1.00 per share. When certain milestones were reached or a financing round (during which the price could not be adapted) ended the share price was increased. 

    As of July 2022 more than CHF 3’500’000 were invested into the Carnault AG.

    Our current status

    Although a number of milestones have already been reached and the development of the first generation of the Carnault cigarette is as good as complete, an investment in Carnault AG can still be described as an "early-stage" investment. On the one hand, this means that further company development is associated with risks and uncertainties, and on the other hand, that the investment made has the potential to multiply due to the low company valuation. The highest ever valuation for an e-cigarette start-up was achieved by Juul Labs Inc. in 2018 with a valuation of USD 35,400,000,000.

    What does the term "early-stage" refer to in our case?


    Risks, among others due to:

    • Lack of sales
    • Lack of robust financial plans
    • Unvalidated demand
    • Possible financing and delivery delays

    Very high potential, among others due to:

    • A huge market with traditionally high margins
    • An innovative product that is technically difficult to copy and has 5 patents pending
    • Unique know-how due to the development of an own battery sleeve production
    • Protected trademark and design rights
    • An outstanding team

    Return of Invest

    There are numerous scenarios for Carnault shareholders as to how their investment could pay off financially in the medium and long term. It should be noted that a return on investment is by no means assured.

    • Sale of the company

    • Sale of shares

    • Dividend (annual distribution of profits) 

    • Buyback of the company

    Reasons for tokenization

    To this day, we are searching for a downside that comes with tokenization, since it seems too good to be true. But thanks to the great work of Aktionariat and LEXR, our search remains fruitless. So let's talk about the things that digitalization improves. There are many of them ...

    • The processing costs of investments are decreasing

    • The management of investors has become easier

    • Micro-investments are possible

    • Public sales are possible

    • Sending and receiving shares is easier

    • Permanent fundraising is possible

    • Dynamic stock pricing is possible

    Notable shareholders

    We consider ourselves fortunate that a high number of 137 shareholders so far have placed their trust in us. Some of the shareholders support us not only with their money, but also with their outstanding expertise in a wide variety of areas. The following list is not exhaustive.
