Early Light Holdings | Investor Business Plan

1. Executive Summary

Early Light Holdings launches with low-risk BSFL import revenue while building toward a diversified circular platform: BSFL feed, frass fertilizer, premium specialty blends, distributed partner-site conversion services, and downstream bioproducts (chitin/chitosan). The Houston-first approach expands next into Austin where compost diversion mandates accelerate demand.

We scale through partner co-location: by the end of Year 2 we target 12 live partner sites, evenly split between 20-foot and 40-foot container modules. This creates a repeatable deployment engine with measurable unit economics, diversified feedstock access, and localized distribution for both protein and soil products.

Thesis

Convert organic waste into premium feed, fertilizer, and bioproducts with measurable climate and margin upside.
De-risk scale by sequencing into production: imports first, then partner-led local infrastructure.
By end of Year 2, target 12 live partner sites (6x20-foot modules and 6x40-foot modules).
Layer high-margin offerings (specialty blends, consulting, biotech derivatives) as the platform matures.
Use Bleiblerville ranch as pilot + demo hub to accelerate partnerships, education, and customer trust.

3-Year Commercial Path

Year 1: $800K revenue from BSFL imports and frass.
Year 2: $2.5M with local production, services, and specialty blends.
Year 3: $6.0M from scaled operations, biotech expansion, and aquaculture services.
Target break-even in month 16 with gross margin uplift from blended products and service lines.

Year	Live Partner Sites	20' Modules	40' Modules	Notes
End of Y1	2-4	[fill]	[fill]	Pilot + early commercial
End of Y2	12	6	6	Scaled partner network

Unit Economics (Per Module)

Investor and partner decisions are tied to module-level throughput, gross margin, and payback performance.

Metric	20' Module	40' Module
Capex (all-in deployed)	$[ ]	$[ ]
Monthly waste intake capacity (tons)	[ ]	[ ]
BSFL output / month (tons)	[ ]	[ ]
Frass output / month (tons)	[ ]	[ ]
Avg revenue / ton input	$[ ]	$[ ]
Avg processing cost / ton input	$[ ]	$[ ]
Gross margin	[ ]%	[ ]%
Payback period	[ ] months	[ ] months

Initial values are conservative pilot estimates; updated quarterly from operating data.

Assumptions

Typical conversion (illustrative): 20 tons input -> ~1 ton BSFL + ~4 tons frass (varies by substrate and moisture).
2 cycles per month for throughput planning.
Quality and yield depend on substrate blend.

Feedstock & Partner Acquisition Strategy

Target partner categories: brewery spent grain producers.
Target partner categories: bakeries and packaged food facilities.
Target partner categories: coffee roasters and beverage processors.
Target partner categories: compost sites, waste haulers, and transfer operators.
Target partner categories: large food manufacturers and municipalities where feasible.
Contracting sequence: LOI to define site intent, access windows, and baseline contamination profile.
Pilot sequence: 60-90 day operational pilot with measured throughput, contamination, and logistics data.
Commercial conversion: minimum tons/month commitments with step-up volumes and pricing bands.
Hauling can be partner-managed or Nellie's-managed depending on route density and contamination history.
Default preference is partner-managed hauling at launch; Nellie's-managed hauling is added where route economics justify internal control.
Accepted feedstock list is approved per partner before intake begins (documented by substrate type and moisture range).
Rejection criteria include plastic contamination above threshold, hazardous residues, glass/metal loads, and unsegregated mixed waste.
Every partner site receives contamination SOPs, intake checklists, and weekly quality feedback loops.

Competitive Positioning

Distributed modular deployment lowers single-site concentration risk and speeds geographic expansion.
Partner co-location reduces transport friction and improves feedstock continuity at the point of generation.
Dual-output monetization (protein + frass) improves resilience across demand cycles.
Containerized infrastructure supports faster installation and iteration than large fixed-facility builds.
Brand and education programs, including 501(c)(3) outreach, improve adoption and local stakeholder trust.
Frass productization across multiple formats expands margin options beyond bulk commodity pathways.

Not competing head-to-head with mega-industrial single-site insect farms; we win on distributed infrastructure + partner economics.

Public-Benefit Research & Education (501(c)(3))

Purpose: product research, new product applications, community education, and workforce development.

Clear separation: the 501(c)(3) does not subsidize the for-profit's core operations.
The 501(c)(3) funds research pilots, education programs, and open/community programming.
Research tracks include new frass formats, feed trials, and applied biomaterials use cases.
Workforce programming includes internships, technician training, and partner-site readiness workshops.
Collaboration model includes university partnerships, demonstration sites, and public workshops.
Reporting follows transparent milestone-based outcomes aligned with educational and public-benefit goals.

8. Management and Staffing Model
