Wow! Finally a sane valid thought - valuation of a founder's Mental, Emotional, Time/Health Capital ... how this hits home - you have NO Idea! Going into 8th year of this including BATTLING the PATENT PROCESS/Office for 5 years - with a complete win!
To fully grasp the dimensions of this consideration:
I created a Patented Technology that the likes of Exxons and Chevrons have been literally banging their heads on to come up with !
I have spent huge Mental, Emotional & Health Costs ... Domestic/Time Harmony Costs ... – ... (one further Example) Dad passed away meantime without seeing the proud moment in His Son – etc. on top of close to $3 million worth own investment.
I did an NPV calculation for 4 BP Oil Production Platforms in the GOM, and the AVERAGE NPV (5 year @ 10%) comes to $2 Billion EACH (total $8 Billion)!
ENVIRONMENTAL - GHG Reduction Application:
In the lowest Hanging Fruit situation - I can put this equipment to work in "certain" applications constantly occurring yearly - in Oil & Gas - close to potential 5,000 opportunity occurrences / yr (last year 2018 was 8,500 occurrences in Oil & Gas - cumulatively far more!) they all need this technology desperately - each application evaluated prior to implementing :
Per Each Unit:
CAPEX $2.5 to 5 Million max (depending on peripheral system needs per situation) –
OPEX $100K - $600K max, (depending on system needs) –
Revenue $ 9 - $ 15 Million / Year (max CAN be higher)
... Thinking - even if we penetrate the market 0.5% (1/2%) = 25 Units Deployed per year.
One can “start” by deploying 5 Units per Year – just slower opportunity capitalized.

Still spending Emotional and Monetary Capital ...
