Meet Jennifer, the driving force behind the project.

The BHAG

• Acquire or have access to +10 Billion m2 of land with as purpose to protect
• The land is a backing asset for the security token (not in all cases)
  • There will be cases where landowners only will allow us to use the land for certain purpose e.g. revenue share on carbon credits, ...
  • So in that case we would not own the land, but can collaborate to provide protection & farm at least carbon credits
• The land has multiple purposes
  • the land protects area's which need protection
  • the land harvest carbon credits
  • the land sometimes can be used by conscious communities (free) who then have to bring added value to the land & protect as well
  • the land sometimes can be used to organic farming in form of "food forests"
• The project is a non for profit initiative !!!

Business model

• the land is backing for security token, provides security
• the land grows food (sometimes)
• the land farms carbon credits (always)
• the income of the food/carbon credits are used to acquire more land -> this leads to appreciation of the land tokens
• 10% of incoming proceeds -> for operations of the structure.

History

• we started the project a while ago, and most has been prepared.
• after initial funding we can go ahead and organize our first security token offering.
• today +700.000.000 m2 land visible to be part of project (as collaboration for carbon credits) and +10m land for owning.

The current plan

• 500k initial funding (funding needed to conclude on security token offering)
• organize security token offering (first for accredited investors only)
• get a reg A certificate, to allow public offering to everyone
• organize an fundraise together with some partners (aligned, costs +-200k USD).
• first fundirase 20-100m USD.

Structure

• company not setup yet
• multiple locations have been evaluated for the holding structures, this will be executed once the first 500k funding is available.
• 100% of the uderlying structures will be owned by ACI, in the spirit of non for profit.
