FAQ

+Why create a public benefit corporation instead of keeping everything in the nonprofit?
The PBC lets us build and sell technology, run blended finance structures, and return capital to impact investors while keeping the mission in front. The nonprofit continues programs and donations. The two entities are aligned and complementary.
+Who is actually issuing securities to investors?
Ecolink PBC is the legal issuer. The offering is separate from Trailfunds the nonprofit. The campaign materials will name Ecolink PBC and will describe how it powers the Trailfunds platform.
+Do you need two years of operating history to raise?
No. Under Regulation Crowdfunding, brand new issuers can raise. Financial statements must be GAAP formatted from inception and scaled to the raise size.
+How will proceeds be used?
Platform engineering, enterprise integrations for partners, data pipelines for stewardship analytics, and initial capital to structure pilot finance vehicles for conservation and recreation projects.
+What is the relationship to Trailfunds?
Ecolink PBC develops and operates the technology that powers Trailfunds and provides fee based services. Trailfunds remains a mission driven nonprofit focused on programs, partners, and donor engagement.
