Seed Growth Investment Memorandum
$1,250,000 Target Seed Round (Expandable to $3,000,000 Statewide Moat Tier)
1. Executive Summary & Investment Opportunity
Patriot Soil Solutions USA, LLC and AquaLoch, LLC (collectively the "Company") are emerging Texas agronomic bio-mineral manufacturing leaders. The Company formulates, manufactures, and distributes breakthrough bio-retention matrices and microbial delivery systems engineered specifically to combat heat stress, severe drought, and hardpan clay compaction throughout Texas and the Southern United States.
The Company has achieved a definitive commercial inflection point: securing a confirmed retail contract to place its flagship products onto the shelves of 100 H-E-B Grocery stores across Texas starting in Early 2027. H-E-B is Texas’s premier grocer with over 340 locations, $38+ Billion in annual sales, and the highest retail foot-traffic loyalty in the state.
AquaLoch is raising a $300,000 Pre-Seed Angel Tranche, anticipating meeting three (3) foundational investors for $100,000 each (within a broader $1.25M seed round authorization). Capital will directly fund inventory fulfillment for our confirmed 100-store H-E-B rollout in early 2027, automated Texas blending and packaging machinery, and our high-margin Premier Nursery wholesale network. The Company maintains a strict policy: "Minimum $100,000 Pre-Seed Investors Wanted".
💎 Early Investor Advantage: Up to 10X ROI on Share Conversion at 1st Round Evaluation:
In exchange for early foundational capital, our pre-seed angel partners lock in an extraordinary conversion covenant: Future conversion of shares will be awarded at the official 1st round institutional evaluation (Series A) with a realistic up to 10X ROI on conversion. For example, a $100,000 pre-seed commitment will convert at up to $1,000,000 in equity valuation credit at the institutional Series A pricing. Furthermore, the Company provides a contractual Call Option & Buyout Floor: upon reaching regional consolidation within 24–36 months, the Company may buy out investor shares at a guaranteed contractual floor of 3.0x on invested capital ($300,000 cash payout on a $100,000 check), or investors may ride uncapped strategic equity up to 10x–100x+ returns.

3. The Macro Problem: Severe Drought & Broken Lawn Chemistry
Texas is facing an unprecedented municipal and ecological water emergency. Summer heatwaves regularly exceed 100°F for consecutive weeks, while Stage 2 and Stage 3 municipal watering curfews legally restrict irrigation to once per week or ban sprinklers entirely across major metros (San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Dallas). Homeowners watch thousands of dollars in sod, shrubs, and ornamental trees burn out.
Simultaneously, traditional chemical fertilizers exacerbate the disaster:
- Chemical Salt Sterilization: Legacy big-box fertilizers rely on high-salt chemical nitrogen that sterilizes native mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial soil biology.
- Hardpan Compaction & 60% Water Runoff: Compacted soil forms an impermeable hardpan clay barrier. Up to 60% of applied irrigation water runs off wasted into street gutters without reaching root depth.
- Chemical Burn Liability: High-salt granules applied in summer heat scorch turf leaves and kill plant roots.
4. Commercial Product Portfolio & Proprietary Science
Patriot Soil Solutions USA has engineered a market-ready suite of consumer retail and commercial products:
Low Crawler Castings 2-0-0
Black Ops Biochar™
Soil Strike & Quench
R.A.I.D. Unit™ Ag Machine
