LIVESPAN NETWORK INC. · INFRASTRUCTURE-AS-A-SERVICE · BRIDGE ROUND 2026
Life-sized, 8K holographic presence — delivered over the Wi-Fi already in your building. No fiber. No IT staff. $150 per node per month.
The Origin
"My wife never got to hold her father's hand that day.
But the next family will."
— Charles Franklin, Founder & Managing Director
During COVID, Charles Franklin watched his wife press her palms against a glass window — trying to reach her dying father who spent his last moments alone inside a facility. She sat in front of a flat phone screen, crying, while he was gone.
That image never left. LiveSpan Network was built because of it. Not as a product. As a promise — that the next family will not have to press their hands against glass.
The technology that makes that promise real is The 3D Pipe — a proprietary signaling layer that enables vendor holographic display hardware to deliver life-sized presence over the Wi-Fi already in every building. A utility. Not an app.
The Problem
Three simultaneous crises. Every existing solution was built for the wrong patient.
Americans in memory care suffer separation agitation. Dementia patients cannot recognize a face on a flat screen. They recognize life-sized presence. No existing telehealth tool was designed for them.
Projected national nursing deficit within five years. Staff burn out facilitating failed video calls. Every failed connection is a nursing hour lost and a quality-of-care metric damaged.
High-value physicians locked in geographic silos, spending 30% of billable hours in transit. The technology meant to solve this was built for office meetings — not clinical presence.
The Solution
We built the signaling layer that makes vendor holographic hardware work inside buildings it was never designed for.
Industry-leading holographic display hardware partners. Life-sized displays — stunning in a showroom. Failed in legacy institutional Wi-Fi — until now.
›A pre-configured Linux edge server ships to the facility. Any staff member installs it in under 5 minutes. Zero IT required. LiveSpan signaling OS pre-loaded.
›Proprietary signaling layer fires over existing Wi-Fi. Three patent-pending signal optimization protocols. Sub-50ms glass-to-glass latency.
›Vendor hardware now works in the facility. Grandma sees her family life-sized. She recognizes them. That is the clinical outcome.
Market Opportunity
Three concentric rings of opportunity — each one an expansion of the infrastructure already deployed.
Traction
A signed LOI with a Kaiser Permanente-affiliated anchor facility and four additional Southern California facilities with LOIs pending. A 650-node deployment pipeline ready to activate at bridge close — facilities identified, LOIs signed, deployment pending bridge round.
Competitive Moat
The hardware vendors come to us now. Not the other way around.
Four patent-pending signal innovations — the proprietary signaling logic that no competitor has built. Patent applications filing Q3 2026. The IP is the asset.
75.8% Veteran-Owned · VOSB Certified. Federal channel access through VA Veterans First program. SDVOSB upgrade pending VA determination — which unlocks sole-source DHA contracts up to $4M. Leidos and Booz Allen are legally excluded.
The Box is physically embedded in the facility's MDF rack. Removing it requires a truck roll and hardware removal. This is not a subscription you cancel with one click. It is a utility. Infrastructure lock-in is permanent.
The Team
20+ years in strategic marketing, live event operations, and high-stakes operational logistics. Architect of the LiveSpan IaaS model and the Infrastructure of Presence framework. Delaware C-Corp Incorporator. 75.8% owner.
15+ years in executive operations, organizational management, and compliance oversight. Leads facility integrations, operational workflow design, regulatory compliance, and engineering sprint coordination. Background in healthcare administration and multi-site operational logistics.
Candidate profile: WebRTC, SFU architecture, edge compute, low-latency streaming, and IoT infrastructure. Equity participation available.
Investor Information
The bridge round does not fund an idea. It flips the switch on $1.17M ARR already waiting in the pipeline.
