All right, let's dive into a totally new model for economic development, one built specifically for rural America. It all centers on one massive question. Can AI actually save America's dying small towns? So, here's the old way, eight years and $28 million for one company, the AI way, seven companies in just 60 days. And the solution isn't just one company, it's a self-sustaining, seven entity flywheel. Now, what's wild is how this works. Each company funds itself. See that? The SaaS equity actually pays for the nonprofits. This whole thing is de-risked. If one part struggles, the rest keep going. It's built to last. Okay, but this isn't some pie in the sky idea. It's based on proven benchmarks, just way faster with AI. Let's look at the data. Property melt, a local company needed $28 million into eight years to scale right here. Okay, benchmark number two, Tulsa remote. Their relocation program created a staggering $622 million in economic impact. And get this, for every single dollar they invested. The local economy got more than $4 back. Finally, look at a standard economic group, Elevate Rapid City. They have $35 million in assets for just one city. So what's the secret sauce? It really comes down to the founder. He's the unfair advantage here. I mean, check out this background, orphaned, adopted by a Harvard MBA mom, veteran of attack unicorn, just unreal. And he's not just talking. He's put in $1.8 million of his own money before asking for a dime. This quote from him says it all really. I don't sleep. I just build. That's the energy. So what's the investment opportunity? Well, it's not some random number. It's based on those benchmarks. As you can see, the ask is right in that sweet spot. It lines up perfectly with what we know works. Here's the proposition, plain and simple. Give them the same money property mailed raised and watch AI do eight years of work in two. And where does the money go? To build the campus, run operations and create 60 jobs, real tangible stuff. And this is huge. It's not just a pitch deck. This is a real place on 15 acres already built. So the next step isn't just a Zoom call. It's a full on three day on site experience. The invitation is simple. Come see it for yourself. Meet the team and see how this could really change rural America.
