May Management, LLC is launching a Cleveland-based, quality-first SSD storage business that combines (1) early cashflow distribution to MSP/SMB buyers and (2) value-add assembly, validation, and traceability services. The primary market failure is quality variability - DOA units, early-life failures, firmware quirks, and inconsistent performance - which imposes real labor and downtime costs even when organizations buy in bulk. May Management operates as a 'quality firewall' by acceptance-testing shipments, documenting results, and tracing issues by lot/serial, enabling repeat purchasing and defensible margins beyond commodity resale.

• Facility: 8,000–15,000 sq ft; ESD-controlled benches; secure cage; receiving/quarantine; automated test racks.

• Team: 12–20 FTE by month 18 (Ops, QA, Supply Chain, Technicians, Sales).

• Offerings: MSP-ready SSD distribution; qualified SKUs with acceptance test reports; optional burn-in certified tiers; serialized traceability; controlled RMA/refurb.

• Milestones: Facility + equipment (0-6 months), MSP pilot shipments + reporting (6-9), anchor MSP accounts + scaling (9-18).

Ohio is actively developing a semiconductor and microelectronics ecosystem. Cleveland provides industrial space, workforce access, and proximity to regional customers and logistics.

The company seeks a balanced capital stack to avoid undercapitalization and to support disciplined scaling:

Instrument:    Revolving LOC / ABL 

Amount:         $0.5M-$1.5M (ramp) 

Purpose / Notes:     Inventory + receivables finance; borrowing base tied to eligible inventory and AR. Sized to growth and turnover.

Instrument:    Equipment financing / lease 

Amount:         $0.25M-$0.75M

Purpose / Notes:    Test racks/QA equipment; 3-5 year term or lease; collateral-backed. 

Instrument:     Grant / incentive funding  

Amount:          $0.25M-$1.5M 

Purpose / Notes:     Capability buildout (ESD, test/QA automation, workforce training) where eligible; avoids funding working capital. 

Instrument:    Sponsor + contingent private capital  

Amount:         $25k-$250k 

Purpose / Notes:     Modest sponsor cash + grant-contingent convertible note/SAFE to bridge reimbursement timing and fund eligible costs; structured to preserve founder control. 

• Collateral: eligible inventory, eligible receivables, equipment; controlled access and serialization improve auditability.

•  Risk controls: approved vendor list, quarantine/inspection, documented test protocols, margin floors, inventory turn targets.

• Covenants (typical): minimum liquidity, borrowing base reporting, cap on aged inventory, and periodic field audits.
