DESCRIPTION
Impact Investors Wanted!TRANSCRIPT
Current Marketplace
• Demand for green homes far outreaches supply.
• The ‘green home buyer’ target market continues to grow exponentially.
• Builders build huge McMansions and largely miss the opportunity to provide homes to the green home buyer.
• People want healthy homes in friendly neighborhoods. They want homes with front porches and friendly neighbors (ecovillage model) but nobody builds them.
The Problem We Solve
• We build ecovillages that satisfy the green home buyer’s demand for healthy homes in friendly neighborhoods.
• We’re bringing back the front porch and raising the level of performance and happiness for today’s home buyer.
• We build homes that are non-toxic, save money/energy/water and help create a better way to live.
Capital Allocation
• Operational expenses including: office rent, salaries, marketing, etc.
• Development expenses including land purchases, pre-development and construction, etc.
For Impact Investors Only
• We seek investors who want more than just a financial return.
• Our impact investors receive returns in several areas including: financial, societal, economic, environmental, etc.
• Impact investors who are committed to their personal legacy are our target investors.

Scale - Opportunity
• Our model scales greater than just our target market of Southern California as long as people want green healthy homes.
• Our healthy home, ecovillage model can be expanded to any community in the US.
Risks
• Demand for new homes dries up.
• Housing market crashes 40%+.
• Credit requirements tighten.
Risk Mitigation
• Demand for homes dries up - Our homes will still sell because they have little competition and offer major benefits that other homes don’t.
• Housing market crashes 40+% - Our homes appraise for more money and offer a competitive advantage so they should not be hit as hard as typical homes.
• Credit requirements tighten - We target mid-level buyers, not first time homebuyers. These buyers have historically still purchased houses when credit is tight.
Deal Specifics
• Capital invested into Simcoe Green Investments is put towards all development projects.
• You are investing in the company, the team, not just a specific project.
• Legacy Investors receive 3.5% preferred dividend on top of profit split.

• Team is uniquely qualified to scale this opportunity quickly.
• What started as a trend is rapidly becoming the standard for our target buyers. Our team is on the front end of that curve.
