The Missing Input Layer for the $40B AI Glasses Boom1
Tap Systems has spent 10 years patenting and perfecting a micro-gesture controller that lets users operate any AI glasses from their wrist.
AI glasses shipments grew 322%2 in 2025. Apple, Google, Meta and Samsung are jumping in. There are 2.2 billion people who wear corrective glasses3, and more who wear sunglasses. The big tech companies see this as the biggest opportunity for wearable tech in history. Investing in Tap is a pure play investment in the growth of this industry.
“This isn’t about creating another gadget category. Apple is going after one of the world’s largest consumer product markets and one with nearly as many potential customers as the global smartphone business. It’s an opportunity measured not in millions of users, but billions. Apple doesn’t want to squander it.”
AI Is Moving from Screens to the Real World – the Fastest Growing Trend in the History of Wearable Technology
Tap has patented and perfected the ultimate controller for wearable AI.
Meta just proved the market with a 322% explosion in smart eyewear. Now, with Google, Samsung, and Apple preparing major rollouts, Tap is the universal control layer the entire industry needs to scale.
A Rapidly Growing Wearable Category Has a Missing Piece4
Millions of AI glasses are already in consumers' hands, and industry forecasts call for rapid growth over the coming decade.
Yet the user experience remains limited by input.
Tap enables discreet, hands-free control through natural finger movements, making AI glasses dramatically more useful.

Three Revenue Streams and Distinct Customers
We’re not a single-product company. Our model has three distinct ways to generate revenue, each serving a different customer and with its own growth trajectory.
Direct-to-consumer
Direct-to-consumerTapWithUs.com, Amazon, Walmart. Existing channels, $5M+ revenue to date. Tap WatchBand launches into a customer base that already loves wrist
OEM partnerships
License to Al-glasses makers as their reference input. Co-marketing deals as an Apple Watch-compatible accessory.
Developer ecosystem
Open SDK for iOS, Android XR, Vision OS. Recognized as a standard Bluetooth keyboard+ mouse- works out of the box with any application.
Scaling Toward Military Applications and Beyond
The military is investing in soldier-worn AR and mixed-reality systems designed to deliver real-time maps, targeting data, and communications through heads-up displays.6 But in the field, speaking aloud and using large hand gestures are not always practical. Tap is designed to give users silent, hands-free, glove-compatible device control. The U.S. Army has directed major funding toward soldier-worn AR programs, including $255M requested for IVAS procurement6 and $159M awarded for Soldier Borne Mission Command prototyping.8 From there, Tap plans to target automotive, accessibility, and industrial verticals.
Every Platform Needs Input. Tap Offers Universal Compatibility.
Meta's neural band is proprietary, expensive, and locked in one ecosystem. We’re introducing one of the first platform-agnostic input solutions on the market built on technology proven through years of real-world use. It gives any manufacturer full device control without needing to build their own tech. For Tap, that becomes a product advantage and licensing opportunity at scale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why invest in startups?
Regulation CF allows investors to invest in startups and early-growth companies. This is different from helping a company raise money on Kickstarter; with Regulation CF Offerings, you aren’t buying products or merchandise - you are buying a piece of a company and helping it grow.
How much can I invest?
Accredited investors can invest as much as they want. But if you are NOT an accredited investor, your investment limit depends on either your annual income or net worth, whichever is greater. If the number is less than $124,000, you can only invest 5% of it. If both are greater than $124,000 then your investment limit is 10%.
How do I calculate my net worth?
To calculate your net worth, just add up all of your assets and subtract all of your liabilities (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence). The resulting sum is your net worth.
What are the tax implications of an equity crowdfunding investment?
We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.
Who can invest in a Regulation CF Offering?
Individuals over 18 years of age can invest.
What do I need to know about early-stage investing? Are these investments risky?
There will always be some risk involved when investing in a startup or small business. And the earlier you get in the more risk that is usually present. If a young company goes out of business, your ownership interest could lose all value. You may have limited voting power to direct the company due to dilution over time. You may also have to wait about five to seven years (if ever) for an exit via acquisition, IPO, etc. Because early-stage companies are still in the process of perfecting their products, services, and business model, nothing is guaranteed. That’s why startups should only be part of a more balanced, overall investment portfolio.
When will I get my investment back?
The Common Stock (the "Shares") of TAP (the "Company") are not publicly-traded. As a result, the shares cannot be easily traded or sold. As an investor in a private company, you typically look to receive a return on your investment under the following scenarios: The Company gets acquired by another company. The Company goes public (makes an initial public offering). In those instances, you receive your pro-rata share of the distributions that occur, in the case of acquisition, or you can sell your shares on an exchange. These are both considered long-term exits, taking approximately 5-10 years (and often longer) to see the possibility for an exit. It can sometimes take years to build companies. Sometimes there will not be any return, as a result of business failure.
Can I sell my shares?
Shares sold via Regulation Crowdfunding offerings have a one-year lockup period before those shares can be sold under certain conditions.
Exceptions to limitations on selling shares during the one-year lockup period:
In the event of death, divorce, or similar circumstance, shares can be transferred to:
• The company that issued the securities;
• An accredited investor;
• A family member (child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse or equivalent, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships).
What happens if a company does not reach their funding target?
If a company does not reach their minimum funding target, all funds will be returned to the investors after the close of the offering.
How can I learn more about a company's offering?
All available disclosure information can be found on the offering pages for our Regulation Crowdfunding offering.
What if I change my mind about investing?
You can cancel your investment at any time, for any reason, until 48 hours prior to a closing occurring. If you’ve already funded your investment and your funds are in escrow, your funds will be promptly refunded to you upon cancellation. To submit a request to cancel your investment please email: info@dealmakersecurities.com
How do I keep up with how the company is doing?
At a minimum, the company will be filing with the SEC and posting on its website an annual report, along with certified financial statements. Those should be available 120 days after the fiscal year end. If the company meets a reporting exception, or eventually has to file more reported information to the SEC, the reporting described above may end. If these reports end, you may not continually have current financial information about the company.
What relationship does the company have with DealMaker Securities?
Once an offering ends, the company may continue its relationship with DealMaker Securities for additional offerings in the future. DealMaker Securities’ affiliates may also provide ongoing services to the company. There is no guarantee any services will continue after the offering ends.
What is TAP's pre-money implied valuation?
TAP’s pre-money implied valuation is $94,649,330. The terms of this Offering are based on a pre-money using the current issued and outstanding shares of the Company (and excluding shares to be issued upon conversion of convertible securities). The Securities are priced arbitrarily and the Company makes no representations as to the reasonableness of any specified valuation.
