1. Executive Summary
Andra Fund (the "Fund") aims be the first tokenized technology growth fund focused on
private late-stage investments. The Fund is tokenized through a regulatory compliant,
asset-backed, and tradeable security token to provide access to global investors.
Secure token custody services will be provided to traditional investors. The Fund plans
to target companies in their hyper growth phase and will aim to provide permitted
investors with higher returns and lower risks over a shorter investment period than
traditional venture capital ("VC") funds.
The Fund plans to target companies that generally meet the following criteria:
(I)
raised at least two rounds of institutional funding from established venture
capital firms;
(ii)
has an enterprise value of at least $500 million dollars; and
(iii)
has a potential for a near-term exit (e.g., the ability to monetize the
investment through an initial public offering, merger or acquisition event, or
re-sell within thirty six months).
Our objective is to provide permitted investors with significant capital appreciation over
the course of thirty six to sixty months, the timeframe our research has concluded
maximizes return on investment ("ROI") for late-stage (defined via the above (i) and (ii)
criteria) investments.
The Fund aims to outperform traditional VC funds by investing alongside top-tier VCs
in top-performing companies. Opportunities for investors to participate in top-tier funds
are limited. The Fund intends to use blockchain technology to open this opportunity to
permitted investors globally and to democratize the venture capital space through the
Silicon Valley Coin ("SVC" or the "Coin"). We believe the Fund combines a
proprietary investment strategy, world-class service providers, a perpetual VC structure
with tradeable interests, and the latest blockchain technology to achieve our objective.
This White Paper summarizes the details of our strategy, deal flow ecosystem, security
token details, token custody options, compliance and legal support, and partners.

The amount of funding and the number of deals have been steadily rising throughout
the past five years. However, most returns are derived from 20% of investments in a
typical VC portfolio. In other words, out of ten investments, two typically generate
returns. The respective investment formula has allowed the top performing VCs to
achieve 40%+ internal rate of returns ("IRR") over eight to twelve years. VC funds
generally performed exceptionally well in the last two decades, even as most other
funds floundered due to immense risk associated with investing across early stage
startups. As of 2016, the U.S. VC's average twenty year rate of return was 35.4%,
compared to 13.5% for private equity and the aforementioned 7.7% for S&P 500
indices. While VCs, especially top-tier ones, surpass the market consistently, top-tier
funds are extremely exclusive and mostly limited to the well-connected and wealthy.
EFTA00292485
Challenges for Traditional Fund Investors
Several key problems prevent traditional fund investors from taking advantage of
opportunities to buy into late-stage, high-growth tech ventures. The most important
ones are:
Limited Availability of Opportunities: Many of the best financial opportunities
today are digital and limited to the affluent, limited partners ("LPs"), and an
exclusive network of family offices. In fact, most LPs do not have access to top-
tier VCs. Unfortunately, unless an investor represents a large fund, works for a
major bank, or actively cooperates with startups, most investors are uninformed
about the promising ventures until the opportunity has passed.
Long Holding Periods and Limited Liquidity: The average fund life of
traditional VCs range from eight to twelve years. When a fund is invested, there
is no system to determine the period in which the capital will be available. While
certain funds pledge a hard-cap, such as ten years, exit events are
unpredictable. An investor may be required to hold onto an asset for far longer
than initially expected, without the ability to exit at will; an undesirable outcome.
Foreign Investor Restrictions: Typically, investing in a VC means transferring
money across borders and into a different regulatory regime. Investors have to
cover their personal costs, including taxes/fees, regulatory fund fees, and other
costs. Combined with the opportunity cost of, and time lost to, trading across
borders, these inefficiencies diminish the appeal of investing. As a result, foreign
investors experience restricted participation in Silicon Valley technology
investment opportunities.
EFTA00292486
B. Introducing Security Tokens
L
What are security tokens? What do they have to do with
investing?
A security token (or blockchain token) is a digital asset that can be exchanged between
individuals via the blockchain platform. Unlike fiat currency, which is issued and
controlled by a central bank, tokens can be obtained through decentralized means.
Unlike fiat currency, tokens can be purchased and sold relatively quickly, transferred
across borders, and generally lack a broker, banker, or other transaction fee. As a
result of these three qualities, there are two important applications that tokens have for
investors.
ii.
Two Ways Investors Use Blockchain Tokens
First, tokens can be used as a currency. Specifically, Bitcoin and Ether are frequently
used as a proxy for fiat currency, assuming the risk of holding and trading them is
bearable. The advantage is that transferring these digital assets is generally cheaper
and faster compared to fiat currency.
Secondly, security tokens can be used as an investment backed by securities, which
makes it a noteworthy option for both traditional and crypto investors. The Fund's goal
is to combine blockchain applications to match high-ROI, late-stage companies with
permitted investors globally.
iii.
How The Fund Will Utilize Security Tokens
Most cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, and therefore risky to hold. The Fund intends
to reduce risks associated with holding crypto assets by linking the SVC's value with
the Fund's assets, primarily the equity of private late-stage technology companies.
We envision the SVC, built on the Ethereum blockchain, will be secure and legally
compliant. We believe this simple and dynamic platform allows for expeditious
transactions, purchase, sale, and investment in a tokenized asset.
EFTA00292487
C. Differentiating the Silicon Valley Coin from Other Tokens
The value of a token is generally determined by its scarcity, utility, and supply and
demand, among others. This generates a significant problem because most tokens
lack ascertainable value, and the tokens are generally tied to an ecosystem driven by
supply and demand.
The SVC intends to offer a sound alternative by providing permitted investors with a
tokenized asset that represents ownership in the Fund's assets, primarily private late-
stage technology companies.
D. How We Differ from Traditional Venture Funds
Our founders and professionals have spent over twenty years in the technology and
VC space and participated in many private equity transactions, including Facebook,
LinkedIn, and Twitter, and realized superior returns to investors.

As demonstrated by the graph above, the average IRR thresholds for the median and
top quartile VCs over the past ten years are 12% and 20%, respectively. The returns
EFTA00292488
are relatively low with respect to the amount of risk assumed with venture capital. Top-
tier VCs, or the top 5%, achieved a ten year average IRR 40%. As you may expect,
most investors lack access to the top-tier VCs given the lucrative and highly sought-
after returns.

Note: Andra Capital
IRR is indicative and forward looking. Assumes S10,000 invested over
a period of ten years.
The investment returns scenario above assumes an initial investment of $10,000
across various indices, VCs, and Andra Capital over a ten year period. As indicated,
investing $10,000 with a top-tier VC at 40% annual IRR over ten years would result in
a payout of nearly $300,000. Similarly, investing $10,000 with Andra Capital at the
anticipated 30%+ IRR would result in a payout range of $138,000 to $300,000. On the
other hand, the top quartile VC and S&P would only yield a payout of $63,000 and
$18,000, respectively. We anticipate that the Fund will be a top alternative for investors
looking for top-tier VC returns.
Another unique value proposition is the adoption of blockchain technology, which
creates an open opportunity for investors globally. The Fund intends to utilize
blockchain technology to naturally democratize the Fund.
EFTA00292489
Because the Fund will be tokenized, investors maintain the flexibility to transfer SVCs,
subject to applicable laws and applicable transfer restrictions. In other words, SVCs
may be immediately re-sellable following the initial issuance, in lieu of investors
potentially waiting up to eight to twelve years to exit from a typical fund.
EFTA00292490
3. Introduction to The Fund
We seek to offer permitted investors a superior capital appreciation opportunity that
transcends regional borders. The Fund's target annual rate of return is 30%+ with
significant capital appreciation expected over a shorter period of time, as opposed to
eight to twelve years from a traditional VCs. Andra Capital aims to disrupt the venture
capital space through blockchain technology by tokenizing the Fund and generally
making access to the Fund available to permitted investors.
The Fund's investment thesis consists of the following:
• Approximately 80% in Late-Stage Private Companies. Approximately 80% of
the investment funds will be used to make investments in leading late-stage
technology companies. Specifically, the Fund will target Series C and Series D+
companies based on a proprietary selection criteria and investment process.
• Approximately 20% in Early-Stage Private Companies. Approximately 20% of
the investment funds will be used to make investments in early stage companies
that have demonstrated the potential to become an outbreak success, which
results in higher returns for the overall portfolio of the Fund.
The 80/20 mix of late-stage and early-stage investments leverages our expertise to
deliver results while minimizing the risks of large investments. In short, our investment
strategy prioritizes reliable, late-stage technology ventures, in which it maintains
preferential access (or expert knowledge). This protects the Fund from losses and
eliminates the need to take big risks in the mold of the typical VC.

EFTA00292491
A.The Fund's Goals
The Fund's primary goal is to deliver annualized returns that exceed the IRR offered by
top-tier VCs1. The Fund will be tokenized with the SVC, which represents an indirect
fractional non-voting economic interest in the Fund. This means your investment in the
Fund is generally transferable, subject to applicable laws and transfer restrictions.
There is no need to wait for eight to twelve years to exit. This is a key advantage of
using blockchain technology.
Another advantage is that the SVC is a security token, backed by real, legally
registered securities in private companies. Tokenizing the Fund decentralizes venture
funds and connects more technology companies with permitted investors than
previously possible.
We have a differentiated and proven strategy, an experienced team, and world-class
partners. Our team members have previously closed over three hundred deals,
processed $10+ billion in private investments, and managed numerous large funds and
venture-backed private companies. Our world-class partners include DLA Piper (legal
counsel), Deloitte (auditor), Duff & Phelps (compliance and valuation firm), and Apex
(fund admin). In short, SVC enables access to stakes in leading, private technology
companies in Silicon Valley and abroad.
The Fund is relevant to traditional investors (individuals, family offices, institutions,
hedge funds), token holders, and alternative investors seeking to maximize returns or
hedge their cryptocurrency holdings. It represents an opportunity to invest in potentially
high-ROI assets of technology companies in hyper growth mode.
B. Tokenized Venture Capital Innovation
The Fund essentially encompasses two elements: a technology growth fund that
invests in private technology companies and the Silicon Valley Coin that represents an
indirect fractional non-voting economic interest in the Fund. This breakthrough
innovation represents the first vehicle in which a security token is backed by real

EFTA00292492
Silicon Valley assets. Unlike other tokens, the SVC's value will be derived from the
performance of the Fund.
C. Our Proprietary Deal Flow Ecosystem
The Andra Capital network consists of top-tier VCs, company executives,
entrepreneurs, investors, lawyers, accountants, and bankers, which grants the
Company access to a steady deal flow of top-tier investments. This is essential, as the
declining number of IPOs per year necessitates a consistent deal flow of potentially
high-ROI opportunities. Our proprietary strategy and stakeholder ecosystem provides
30%+ IRR returns from investing in primarily late-stage technology ventures.
The Fund selects a number of companies that meet its investment prerequisites.
Currently, the investment universe consists of approximately four hundred qualified
ventures, of which 20 to 40 fundamentally meet our portfolio standards.

Our proprietary deal low ecosystem and emphasis on late-stage companies allow for
delivery of superior results while maintaining a steady deal flow. Rather than investing
in progressive stages (Series A, B, C, D, E...IPO), the Fund intends to invest at the
hyper growth mode, starting at Series B+ when the company is approaching liquidity.
This later stage investment strategy differentiates the Fund and allows for higher
returns and lower risks over a shorter investment period.
D. Investment & Risk Mitigation Strategy
Our investment strategy is simple: to invest in the next wave of multi-billion dollar
technology companies by top tier VCs before they go public (or get acquired),
delivering a 30%+ IRR to permitted investors:

FVERNOTE
As demonstrated in the graphic above, the companies below the dotted line meet our
selection criteria. The companies above the dotted line are approaching hyper growth
and would qualify as our target investments. Out of the 400 identified deals, Andra
Capital selects 20 to 40 companies to invest in.
It is important to understand the key strategic elements that make this approach
possible.
Identifying Top Ventures in the Market. Top technology VCs represent the top ten
percentile of all invested capital but return >60% of exit distributions. Andra Capital
monitors the investment activities of the leading VCs to identify and only acquire stakes
in companies entering hyper growth mode.
Proprietary Selection Criteria. Having short-listed the investment opportunities
defined above, each company is further screened for:

Seeking Purchase Opportunities. Our goal is to invest alongside the top global
venture investors at the same terms and preferences, or when special opportunities
become available. This allows Andra Capital to buy in at attractive prices (e.g., via
outbidding seed investors) or to invest alongside major funds, minimizing the risk
exposure.
Andra Capital's process is to monitor elite venture funds, employ its team to identify
low-risk, high-payoff opportunities, and transact at the best possible time. By primarily
targeting later stage, established and proven companies, Andra Capital significantly
reduces the overall investment risk of typical venture capital. This strategy has high
scalability, works for a large multi-billion dollar fund, and delivers higher returns while
maintaining the critical advantage of de-risking venture capital on the following fronts:

E. Internal Due Diligence and Underwriting Process
Andra Capital maintains a deal screening process and collaborates with top-tier VCs
during the evaluation of companies. In addition to a comprehensive review of the lead
VC's diligence, our in-house due diligence process evaluates investment opportunities
based on the Fund's investment strategy, return to investment, and careful
understanding of risk. Investments will require approval by the Investment Committee.
Andra Capital's proprietary investment process and unique investment approach aims
to achieve high returns with a low risk profile. Upon identifying a suitable investment
opportunity for the Fund's portfolio, the investment undergoes a thorough due diligence
process to evaluate all potential risks as well as returns to investment, and a
comprehensive review of the transaction terms, financial data, litigation, and legal
structure. Investments will require approval by the Investment Committee, which will
comprise of the three managing partners, and up to two additional members.
14
EFTA00292497
Investment Committee meetings will be held on a weekly and as needed basis. Andra
Capital will maintain internal memoranda and executive summaries for investment
opportunities, which will include the deal structure and transaction overview. Andra
Capital's proprietary investment process allows the Fund to:
■ Identify the most attractive investment opportunities that fit our strategy;
■ Evaluate all potential risks;
■ Maintain a transparent and disciplined underwriting practice;
■ Perform a comprehensive business appraisal prior to investment;
■ Gather and evaluate the company's financial condition, legal environment, labor,
tax, information technology, commercial potential, and all other relevant
information; and
■ Ensure that each deal is strictly vetted and meets all legal guidelines to maintain
integrity for our shareholders and investors.
We plan to provide holders of SVCs with (i) annual audited reports (including annual
financial statements) within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each
fiscal year; (ii) quarterly reports (including quarterly financial statements) within sixty
days after each fiscal quarter; and (iii) a semi-annual independent net asset value
report. In addition, we plan to conduct an annual informational meeting.
15
EFTA00292498
4. The Opportunity
The Fund is an opportunity to invest alongside the world's leading VC fund managers
with reputable track records. In the past, opportunities to invest in such funds were
limited; but as a result of the proliferation of blockchain technology, we intend to
connect a new category of investors to profitable technology investment opportunities.
The Fund is an opportunity to access investments in Silicon Valley, formerly exclusive
to a select few. Even today, pre-IPO deals are generally open to top-tier VCs and
unavailable to new LPs and investors.
A. The Silicon Valley Coin
The Fund's goal with the SVC is to create the first security token that derives its value
from primarily late-stage private company securities. The SVC is essentially:
■ An asset whose value is derived from an evergreen technology growth fund's
ownership stake in its underlying portfolio;
■ A re-sellable security whose value is tied to the Fund's investments; and
■ A blockchain token that can be generally traded quickly, securely, and cost
effectively.
SVC decentralizes venture capital by offering its far-reaching product to more people
globally on the blockchain. This makes the Fund unique, and we intend to make this
global offering possible by executing the fund tokenization model.
B. Blockchain Technology Platform
Andra Capital will launch its token sale platform and integrated custody solution for its
security offering. The platform will be built on a fully-automated and containerized
microservices architecture that provides reliable key models and operational security
standards. The SVC token sale engine will provide our permitted investors with a
comprehensive suite of solutions:
16
A
EFTA00292499
Investor Accreditation. Purchasers in the United States will have to be "qualified
purchasers". Andra Capital will require potential purchasers from the United States to
provide the necessary information to assess the accreditation status of such
purchasers. International accreditation procedures will be unique per jurisdiction and
will be in compliance with such jurisdiction's laws.
KYC and AML Checks. Andra Capital will obtain the necessary information to ensure
that purchasers of SVCs are adhering to applicable KYC/AML guidelines.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Fiat Currency Support. The Andra Capital platform will
provide funding support for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and U.S. wire transfers. Funds
transferred through this mechanism will go directly to the Fund for capital deployment.
Auditing & Reporting. Users and associated payment information submitted will be
immediately reviewed and audited.
Crowdsale and Token Smart Contracts. Crowdsale and token smart contracts are
designed in-house. Smart contracts are developed with features that mimic real world
contracts. The crowdsale contract facilitates incoming payments with an auto-
forwarding feature that will provide a transfer of funds directly to the Fund. This
reinforces the security of the funds and restricts access to users with authorized keys.
Multi-Signature Wallets (Cold Storage/Hardware). SVCs can be stored in cold
storage multi-signature wallets. The machines used to create transactions will be air-
gapped and offline. The transactions will be signed in coordination with the offline
machines using Ledger hardware wallets.
Token Distribution. After the auditing procedure, Andra Capital will mint and distribute
tokens to purchasers of SVC.

Andra Capital's innovative SVC uses blockchain technology to enhance liquidity of its
token by trading on multiple platforms and democratizing venture capital by allowing
permitted investors to participate in top-tier, growth-stage (defined as Series C and
later) Silicon Valley investments.
We envision that SVCs will be sold, offered as collateral, and treated as a security on
permitted cryptocurrency and security exchanges worldwide, including Nasdaq's
forthcoming digital exchange.
Token Custody Solutions
Investors who do not possess blockchain wallets may elect to opt in Andra Capital's
courtesy custody solution at no additional charge. SVCs will be stored in cold storage
multi-signature wallets through our token sale platform. Investors may submit the SVC
redemption form to redeem the tokens at a later date. Additionally, Andra Capital will
offer a secure and regulated third-party Trust Company to provide optional token
custodial services to investors. Investors will be subject to a third-party custodian fee
under this option. SVCs will be stored in hierarchical deterministic multi-signature, cold
storage vaults and readily available to meet investor redemption and verification
requirements. Investors electing the Fund's custodial service will receive the following:

C. Timeline and Offerings
I.
Simple Agreements for Future Tokens
The launch of the Fund will likely be preceded by an initial capital raise pursuant to a
sale and issuance of Simple Agreement for Future Tokens ("SAFTs").
Upon determination by the Andra Capital that additional funds are required to continue
development and operation of the Fund, the Fund will launch its security token offering
("STO"), which will simultaneously trigger the conversion of all issued and outstanding
SAFTs to SVC. The Fund intends to partner with multiple security exchanges that will
list the SVC.

D. The Fund
The Fund exists to invest in, hold, and/or sell securities in private technology
companies.
Post-Purchase Actions & Token Buyback
Once the SVC is purchased, it is treated as a security token, meaning it can be held,
exchanged for fiat currency, or traded with eligible purchasers.
Andra Capital will allocate up to 50% of the Fund's earnings towards the repurchase of
SVCs. We strongly believe in the scaling potential of not only the investments, but also
SVCs themselves, and that is why we dedicate 50% of our earnings to repurchasing
the SVCs. Re-purchased tokens will be withdrawn from the market, thus increasing the
value of each SVC that our permitted investors hold.

5. Conclusion
The Fund's goal is to create a new way to invest: one that minimizes risks while
providing attractive results by investing in primarily late-stage private technology
companies. The Fund's innovative SVC is intended to democratize venture capital by
allowing global investors to participate in top-tier, growth-stage Silicon Valley
investments. In addition, the Fund's innovation is that our SVC is backed by tangible
assets, and unlike other tokens, carries value derived from the performance of the
Fund. Therefore, the SVC represents an opportunity for investors to gain access to
primarily late-stage private technology companies typically limited to select accredited
investors. We believe global relationships represent value to both investors and
companies in today's inherently-globalized technology economy.
