For Partners & Investors

We are now moving from concept to industrial-scale prototype and are open to discussions with partners, investors, and collaborators who share our long-term vision.

Flexyshell represents a First Principles breakthrough in tension-based structural engineering, addressing the critical scalability and safety constraints of the multi-billion dollar pressure vessel market (Hydrogen, CNG, Marine). We are seeking Pre-Seed / Seed Capital to convert the patented science into a certified, industrial asset.

Opportunities for Investors:

  • Exclusive Licensing and Early Equity Participation: Early-stage investors may secure exclusive or preferential rights for commercialization in key markets and gain founding equity positions as the company enters growth phases.

  • Direct Involvement in Technology Scale-Up: Capital will accelerate prototype development and market validation, offering milestone-driven value inflection points, with investor input shaping technical and commercial priorities.

  • Secured Intellectual Property Expansion: Investment directly supports international patent filings, strengthening defensible competitive barriers. Investors thereby help lock in global rights and maximize future licensing and exit potential.

  • Access to Multiple High-Growth Markets: Flexyshell’s innovations target rapidly expanding sectors—hydrogen infrastructure and offshore green hydrogen producing platforms—projected to reach multi-billion dollar valuations in the next decade. Investors benefit from diversification and early-mover advantages.

  • Transparent Returns Pathway: Early participation may entitle investors to equity, royalties from licensing, or priority in subsequent funding rounds, aligning incentives for shared long-term success.

Staged Commercialisation Approach

While Flexyshell represents a novel class of pressure vessel and structural system — ultimately requiring new certification pathways for high-pressure hydrogen storage — its commercial potential does not depend solely on that end goal. Several intermediate applications can reach market viability sooner, generating early revenue and operational data that support further development.

Some uses, such as pressurised safety shells for existing composite tanks, improve the safety of legacy systems with minimal additional certification. Others, including low-pressure storage modules, marine floats, and wave energy converter (WEC) pontoons, face less stringent regulatory barriers and can be deployed shortly after the first full-scale prototype is validated.

This staged approach allows Flexyshell to generate value progressively, supporting early partnerships and investment while advancing toward certified high-pressure hydrogen storage.

Safety Shells – Near-Term Commercial Application

The recent high-profile S-36 incident, in which a composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV) ruptured catastrophically, illustrates the risks of rigid, overwrap-based tanks: even though the inner tank contained inert nitrogen, nearby equipment was damaged enough to trigger full-scale destruction. Imagine a stationary hydrogen storage site with hundreds of COPVs at 500+ bar — debris from a single failure could impact multiple neighboring vessels, potentially initiating a dangerous chain reaction.

The Flexyshell safety shell addresses this risk by placing one or more hydrogen vessels inside a pressurised, inert secondary shell. In the event of a leak or rupture, hydrogen is captured in the nitrogen-filled annulus and released through a controlled, upward-vented system. Retrofit installations can be applied without modifying certified inner tanks, while new deployments can integrate multiple inner vessels from the start.

Because the safety shell can be designed as a load-bearing structure, the added mass offsets the need for separate mounting frames or protective enclosures. Modular, instrumented, and serviceable, each shell manages pressure surges, contains debris, and prevents uncontrolled jetting or flame propagation.

From a commercial perspective, safety shells offer an early revenue opportunity by enhancing the safety of existing assets without requiring full re-certification, addressing both public and industrial concerns while demonstrating the practical value of tension-based containment.

Low-Pressure Hydrogen Storage – Early Commercial Deployment

Flexyshell also enables large-volume, low-pressure hydrogen storage, offering near-term commercial potential with minimal certification compared to high-pressure systems. Operating at moderate pressures — e.g., 25 bars with a residual 4-bar pressure to maintain structural rigidity — vessels can safely store meaningful hydrogen quantities without complex high-pressure reinforcement. The use of cost-effective materials such as polymers or thermoplastic matrices makes large, low-pressure vessels a viable alternative to both COPVs and steel stationary storage solutions.

Advantages include:

  • Easier certification at moderate pressures, accelerating market entry.

  • Reduced energy consumption by avoiding high-pressure compression.

  • Simplified design and manufacturing.

  • Enhanced safety, lower risk of catastrophic failure.

  • Modularity and scalability for phased expansion.

  • Structural integration potential for industrial, transport, or marine applications.

By providing meaningful capacity with simplified construction, low-pressure storage supports early deployment, incremental revenue, and operational learning while high-pressure hydrogen systems progress toward certification.

Floats and Marine Modules – Early Market Deployment

The Flexyshell principle extends naturally to marine and offshore applications, where lightweight, modular, tension-dominated structures provide buoyancy and functional integration. Flexyshell vessels can serve as pontoons, base for floating platforms, or WEC supports, creating new commercial opportunities before high-pressure certification is required.

Prototypes developed for safety shells or low-pressure storage can be adapted directly for marine applications, leveraging early development investment across multiple revenue streams.

Key benefits include:

  • Rapid deployment with minimal heavy-lift infrastructure.

  • Scalable arrays supporting floating platforms, offshore hubs, or WEC farms.

  • Load-bearing integration, allowing equipment or energy systems to mount directly on floats.

  • Reduced maintenance and operational risk through tension-based design.

  • Compatibility with energy infrastructure: low-pressure or safety-shell modules can co-locate on the same platform.

By enabling marine applications in parallel with safety and low-pressure prototypes, Flexyshell accelerates commercial deployment and diversifies revenue streams, offering investors multiple avenues for value capture while progressing toward high-pressure hydrogen storage markets.

All these near-term applications — Safety Shells, Low-Pressure Storage, and Marine Modules — are not side projects but integral milestones on the path to Flexyshell’s ultimate goal: safe, scalable high-pressure hydrogen storage. Each provides early revenue opportunities while building the same core expertise, manufacturing capability, and test infrastructure required for high-pressure vessels. This staged strategy allows the business to mature technically and financially in parallel — generating income and operational experience while methodically advancing toward the full commercial deployment of Flexyshell high-pressure systems.

We welcome interest from those who see the potential of the Flexyshell principle and are ready to contribute to its real-world deployment. Every proposal will be considered on its merits — we are selective but open to genuine collaboration that can move this technology forward.

Collaboration with COPV Manufacturers

Flexyshell is now seeking feasibility-stage collaboration with established pressure vessel and composite manufacturing companies.
The aim is to validate the structural and economic advantages of the Flexyshell architecture using existing test and production infrastructure.

Such partnerships can be structured as funded feasibility or co-development programs under NDA and option-to-license terms. This approach allows manufacturers to evaluate the concept at low risk while retaining the opportunity for priority access or exclusivity in later commercialization stages.

 

Our goal is to build the right partnerships, not just any partnerships — to turn Flexyshell into a foundation for the practical hydrogen economy.

If you or your organization would like to explore collaboration or investment opportunities, please reach out through our contact form — we’ll be glad to start the conversation.

Our focus lies in providing reliable and innovative solutions, driven by a deep respect for quality and a genuine desire to exceed expectations.
