Blitz Covid-19 door handle killer

1)Experts estimate that one of the main sources of indirect transmission of covid-19 is Door knobs & Handles. studies have demonstrated that 40-60% of space occupant can be contaminated in a day through high touch surfaces.

2) our solution Blitz is a self sanitizing door handle that can be installed in a matter of minutes by anyone, on any door, anywhere in the world with no maintenance for 6-9 months.

3) There are 13 billions door in the world and 26 billions door handles. if we deploy globally, we can reduce dramatically the spread of virus 

we want to help billions of people. global statistics are here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

our vision is to be at the forefront of the efforts to slow the spread of the Covid-19 virus by developing a safe and reliable self-sanitizing door knobs & handles solution and making it available as quickly as possible to the largest number of people that need it the most

our solution Blitz is a self sanitizing door handle using a laser that kills any virus present on the handle

it is equip with multiple sensors that will prevent the laser to clean if someone is close to the door or is touching the handle

it is powered with batteries that allows 6 months minimum of usage

it does not require any maintenance and can be installed by anyone in a matter of minutes

our solution will help everyone that may be infected by a virus while  touching a door handle. It is billions of people

we are targeting our first priority markets segments are retirement homes, schools & universities, medical buildings, public buildings and hospitals in under-developed countries that do not the same cleaning protocols as developed countries

the second priority would be to get the world back in activity post lockdowns and support commercial buildings, transportation, housing and travel

Our solution will slow down the spread of the virus by eliminating radically  any virus that is being transmitted through door handles

we have done research and could not find any solution that consistently and radically kills any virus on a door handle after each utilization

our solution Blitz is a self sanitizing door handle using a laser that kills any virus present on the handle

it is equip with multiple sensors that will prevent the laser to clean if someone is close to the door or is touching the handle

it is powered with batteries that allows 6 months minimum of usage

it does not require any maintenance and can be installed by anyone in a matter of minutes

we are doing the testing now 

but there is proof that viruses are not transparent which would be the only reason why the laser would not work

For anyone using a door,

Who needs to mitigate the transmission of viruses,

Our Blitz handle,

IS a safe and easy to deploy, battery powered, laser based solution,

That sanitizes door knobs and handles from virus after every utilization,

Unlike manual wiping, the solution provides radical and systematic     

elimination of viruses and will slow down the spread of covid-19

we did not launch and have a few customers that  are interested for a pilot (Microsoft, Marriott, Airbus, Govtech singapore, Autodesk, Sanofi)

our business model is to find manufacturers that would make and distribute this product. we are already in discussion with a few

we want to support millions of people in a year and hundreds of millions in 5 years

our goal would be to produce 300000 handles within a year. and tens of millions in 5 five years 

we need 3 things:

1) help with certifications 

2) we need to increase awareness of this solution with governments so they can mandate it as part of the measures for ending the lockdowns

3) find industrial companies that  would produce at scale like a Marshall plan

1) we are using our network of personal relationships

2) digital marketing, Foundations, lobbysts pro-bono

3) reaching out to some industrials. if we cannot find them we will raise capital to produce, or invent a machine to make handles and sell them

inventors of Blitz:

- XX is a season executive, serving the building industry at a large software company and has the experience of scaling businesses to millions of users

- YY is a former CEO of Canberra and has expertise in finance, Spectroscopy / Dosimetry, energy and manufacturing

- ZZ is a research assistant at the Rhode Island School of Design and has expertise in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering

we have a good mix of technical and business background as well as a global network in the building industry

we cannot disclose all the names as we are under NDA

we are working with the French Fab to set up the first production lines

we are in discussions with global customers in aerospace, hospitality, tech and automotive to test our first products

we are in discussion with the government organization to explore manufacturing grants

we are in discussion with biotech companies for validation 

The 2 critical dependencies are time to market and manufacturing scalability.

our preferred model is to find manufacturers that will produce and distribute the product. 

So far we are self funded and use personal funds to buy equipment, materials and get legal work

we will fund this project with initial grants and will license the technology to partners manufacturers/distributors

we need help to find manufacturers to produce and distribute Blitz, we need legal for licensing, and regulatory for certification

Marketing to raise the awareness of the solution

i do not know yet 

we believe that we can make an impact on the global population by reducing the transmission of covid-19 on high touch surfaces like door handles and door knobs

we will use the funding to make Blitz available as quickly as possible to

the largest number of people that need it the most
