PowerLink

About the offering

PowerLink Digital Partners I, Inc. is an early-stage energy infrastructure company raising capital under Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) at $6.25 per share for Common Stock, with a minimum investment of $500 and an offering deadline of June 30, 2027. The company's pre-money valuation is stated at $82,889,362.50, and the maximum offering amount is $4,973,010 (inclusive of a 2% investor processing fee). DealMaker Securities LLC is the registered broker-dealer intermediary, earning an 8.5% commission. Business Model & Platform: PowerLink positions itself as a decentralized energy infrastructure provider targeting locations where the traditional grid cannot economically reach. Its core thesis is that AI-driven hyperscale compute demand is creating a structural electricity bottleneck — pointing to ~55-month median interconnection queue times, ~128-week transformer lead times, and an 833% year-over-year spike in PJM capacity prices — and that modular, closed-loop on-site power generation is the solution. The company's platform is organized around four feedstock categories: (1) Stranded natural gas (Marcellus, Permian, Louisiana) — converting wellhead gas with no pipeline access into on-site electricity; (2) Tire and plastic waste — a proprietary digestion process designed to recover steel, rubber composites, low-carbon diesel, and propane, with a claimed 20–40% yield improvement over conventional processing (an internal engineering estimate, not yet commercially demonstrated); (3) Critical minerals (Li, Cu, Co, rare earths) — positioning the company at the intersection of stranded energy and AI supply-chain materials; and (4) Hydro — an early-stage initiative in the Kingdom of Eswatini to convert stranded canal flow and waste streams into baseload power. Traction & Milestones: Two Louisiana oil and gas acquisitions have closed: Llanada Operating LLC (May 26, 2026) — ~800 mineral acres, 16 wells, one currently producing; and Lake St. John Field (June 30, 2026) — ~1,200 mineral acres, 41-well portfolio, multiple wells producing. An initial Pennsylvania emissions permit application is in progress targeting up to 15 MW from stranded Marcellus gas. For the Eswatini hydro project, the first four turbines are staged in Phoenix, three canals have been flow-profiled via ADCP survey, and a multi-stage power purchase agreement with EEC is described as in late-stage negotiation but not yet executed. Revenue Streams (all pre-revenue as of August 22, 2026): (R1) Tipping fees from waste feedstock intake — not yet operational; (R2) Energy sales to co-located data centers, compute loads, miners, or under PPAs — pre-revenue; (R3) AI compute and data center power with BTC load balancing — planned only; (R4) Materials recovery from the digestion process — design stage only. The company explicitly discloses that none of the four revenue streams is currently generating revenue. Team: Led by Brad Hoagland, CFA (Chairman & CEO), a former CFO of Ecoark Holdings who built PGIM's London office to $2B AUM. Supporting leadership includes a COO focused on digital infrastructure and crypto mining, a Chief Global Development Officer with 30+ years in geopolitical business strategy, a Chief Global Financial Officer with nearly 35 years in public accounting, a VP of Finance with prior corporate development experience at Vantage entities, and a Chief of Hardware Engineering with 40+ years across civil engineering, aerospace, and semiconductors. Governance & Control: The company has two share classes with disparate voting rights — Common Stock (1 vote/share) and Series A Preferred Stock (10,000 votes/share). As of February 15, 2026, Series A Preferred holds ~79.1% of total votes. Trend Discovery, LP and affiliated entities hold ~98.9% of total voting power; CEO Brad Hoagland controls ~86.4% of total voting power through his ownership of Trend Discovery, LP. Investors in this Reg CF offering will hold Common Stock and will have minimal voting influence. Key Risks Noted: No PowerLink site is operational at commercial scale; all deployment timelines are management estimates; the digestion process has not been commercially demonstrated; the Eswatini PPA is not yet executed; actual results depend on permitting, financing, site readiness, and commissioning. The offering materials carry standard early-stage and illiquidity risk disclosures, including possible total loss of investment. Auditor is Assurance Dimensions, LLC; legal counsel is Solon Law, PC.
