THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY to raise livestock and with less odor.  We loved our initial odor eliminating test performance so much that we pivoted to owning the barns with our cutting-edge technology included.  The reason we care is that each project creates 42 PERMANENT JOBS and $4M in EXPORT PROTEIN each year!

WHAT WE DO - INVESTOR PERSPECTIVE

We just completed a very impressive debt raise on Wefunder with over 200 investors joining the Viroment team!  Our investors asked for an EQUITY INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY and our answer is YES!

We are offering our investors an opportunity to own equity in our innovative barns supporting agriculture, creating jobs (42 per barn), creating food while also reducing manure footprints by up to 98%!  

Yes, you heard that right! Cleaner air and reusable filtered water make this a truly sustainable change in the way we create food for the grid.  Oh, the most important part is that we make a fantastic flow owning a high-value piece of real estate!  Did we mention it's pre-leased on triple-net terms?  That means the tenant pays for everything!

HOW THE INVESTMENT WORKS 

  • Step 1  Build two cash-flowing barns using investor funds and our resources 
  • Step 2  Repeat using the cash flow until we reach 8 cash flowing barns
  • Step 3  Mandatory distributions amongst all shareholders equally. 

Projected ROI = 22.6% (not guaranteed) year on year first ten years with all the advantages of depreciation on this massive asset!

It is really that simple

WHAT WE DO - VIROMENT PERSPECTIVE

We build and lease high-tech agricultural facilities to the world's top pork producers on 15-year contracts. Client contracts are triple-net with the lessee paying for all expenses.  We never move dirt until we have a 15-yr lease in hand from a best-in-class global client!

ADVANTAGE / EDGE

Viroment barns are fitted with award-winning manure filtration technology eliminating odors in real-time while creating a high-value dry fertilizer.  We filter the manure in real-time every day!

PROBLEM

  • Existing dated facilities produce unwanted odor 
  • High environmental impact - Large waste disposal footprint
  • Global demand for pork increases 5% per year; Supply housing stock cannot keep pace

SOLUTION

  • Odors Eliminated 
  • Low impact - Sludge footprint reduced by up to 98% 
  • Our high-tech facilities are leased pre-construction and in high demand!

Filtered water is re-looped. Sustainable!
