Are we actually purchasing shares of the company or donating $$

Hi Marlene, this is a chance to purchase shares and own real equity in Cairnspring Mills! The terms will be visible once we file the paperwork with the SEC, but essentially this will be a priced round. Early investors will get the same discounted terms as some of our institutional investors, like Peter Buffett’s NoVo Foundation.

Hi Faithful Skeptic! Indeed this is not a donation, it’s a chance to purchase shares and own real equity in Cairnspring Mills at the same terms as some of our institutional investors like Peter Buffet’s NoVo Foundation.

We’ve already secured commitments to cover nearly all of this, and we’re looking to raise a final $1M-$3M from our community to give everyone who believes in our mission a chance to directly participate in our growth.

Why would I want to invest in a company led by people coming from mega corporations with some of the worst environmental records that actively engage in greenwashing and deceptive PR campaigns, like General Mills and Nestle? What happens when you go public and your primary foc...

Thank you for your question. Regarding your observations about our team, many of whom previously worked for larger corporations, I wanted to share my perspective, which comes from my own experience, on why they are important and valuable team members. For example, I went to Kansas State for an executive milling course. This is the only school in the country that teaches industrial milling sciences.
