Business Description
A Platform Soil Technology Redefining Sustainable Agriculture Markets
PittMoss already makes the best soils on the market (as recognized by Better Homes and Gardens). The fact that all of the company’s soils are made from sustainably sourced, recycled products, help reduce carbon emissions and water use, and can be made locally and less expensively than alternatives are what really set this company apart…
The other major difference between PittMoss and other soil brands is that its patented technology can be used instead of peat moss by every other soil brand in the world. This means today’s competitors can become tomorrow’s customers!
PittMoss is made from recycled fibers specifically engineered to provide optimal management of applied resources, such as water and fertilizer. PittMoss’s proprietary process utilizes lignocellulose fiber from paper waste to provide solutions to both the soil treatment and manufactured soils industries. PittMoss technology transforms lignocellulosic fiber waste into a substrate that can be used for potting soil, agriculture, soil treatment and a host of other applications. It can be used alone or integrated with other substrates, ingredients, and nutrients to create a variety of products that service a host of related industries.
PittMoss is not only more sustainable than other products (As recognized by Good Company Ventures), but also outperforms competitors and provides numerous quantifiable benefits to growers. PittMoss increases the time between watering plants, and it also manages water more efficiently by allowing plants to take up water when needed. This is much better for the planet than the constant over-watering that is required with peat-, coir-, and wood fiber-based soils. PittMoss uses resources more efficiently by keeping water, fertilizer, and air available for plants as they need it, reducing labor and input costs for growers while producing better plants.
PittMoss absorbs and releases nutrients back into the root system to grow bigger and stronger plants in less time while reducing dependency on peat-based products. By the end of 2022, our PittMoss soil products prevented the emission of more than 15,000 metric tons of CO₂ and saved over 31 million gallons of fresh water.
What does a savings of 15,000 metric tons of CO₂ look like in other contexts? Here’s a few examples:
1. 2,012,680 miles driven by an average passenger vehicle
2. 893,732 pounds of coal burned
3. 91,269 gallons of gasoline consumed
4. 33,158 propane cylinders used
5. 276 tons of waste recycled instead of landfilled
Vision and Strategy
Locally made soils in every major US market that work better, are better for the planet, and are less expensive for growers!
Soil made from recycled materials in local markets is a truly disruptive idea because other alternatives are mined or harvested thousands of miles away and transportation costs alone (let along environmental costs) makes it a no-brainer to use this revolutionary product. Just as important, every other soil brand could use PittMoss as raw material instead of peat moss, coco coir and other materials.
Why mine peat in Canada and ship it halfway across the continent when it’s possible to make much better soils from local waste materials? PittMoss’s goal is to manufacture, at scale, an alternative to deleterious, unsustainable products such as peat moss while broadening our ability to serve larger soil treatment and agricultural projects. To do this, the company must build additional manufacturing sites to reduce cost structure and meet unit economic models.
PittMoss is in the business of recovering local waste products and upcycling them for resale within the same market, completing the circular economy. PittMoss utilizes patented technology to transform paper waste into a host of value-added products, from potting soil to animal bedding, and then distributes them into the same locales. Right now, PittMoss is replacing peat moss with locally sourced alternatives that provide better value and better performance while beneficially reusing what would otherwise be waste products. The ultimate vision of PittMoss is to bring sustainable substrate manufacturing to the United States and abroad. Currently, the US is the number one importer of peat moss. The PittMoss model delivers substrates manufactured using local waste while preserving peatlands and bringing a circular economy model to substrate manufacturing.
With a long history of R&D, patent development, and creation of revolutionary, protected formulas, PittMoss has recently entered the commercialization phase and is ready to leverage efficiencies to dramatically lower costs.
By reaching its fundraising goal, PittMoss plans to expand its sales, marketing, distribution, and production efforts across all product lines. Of particular importance is the development of new facilities in seven regions throughout the US – which will make PittMoss truly disruptive due to significantly lower logistical costs than competitive products.
Problem
The methods to grow plants should help the planet, not harm it.
Today’s soils do not work well, are harmful to the planet, and cost more than they should.
The current materials we use for manufactured soils simply don’t make sense—that is why the market is ripe for disruption. Peat moss extraction and carbon emissions are bad for the planet, but all of the transportation and logistics involved are also bad for growers’ pocketbooks. Shouldn’t we invest our time and money into locally made, higher-quality, more sustainable products instead? Especially if we can do so for less than the “old line industry” to which people are accustomed?
For generations, gardeners and growers have been using soils that are harmful to our planet. Formulated with peat moss, the average bag of potting soil has always been less than ideal for horticultural use. PittMoss has many advantages over any peat-based soil on the market today.
The world is currently facing two major sustainability issues: land waste and CO₂ emissions. 34% of landfills are filled with recyclable cellulose fiber materials, such as newsprint, magazines, cardboard, and other paper products. In addition, many seemingly environmentally friendly products, like peat-based potting soils, are producing massive CO₂ emissions as soon as they are dug from the ground.
Peat bogs make up less than 3% of terrestrial land mass but act as massive carbon sinks. They hold more carbon than all of the world’s forests combined, and reducing peat mining is one of the top 10 carbon emissions initiatives from the UN.
Utilizing soil crafted from recycled materials available in local markets represents a groundbreaking concept. This innovation stands out significantly when compared to other alternatives, which often involve extensive mining or harvesting processes in distant, fragile, and contested environments, like the Arctic. The high expense associated with transportation and the environmental toll of traditional materials mean the market is on the hunt for locally produced, sustainable growing media–a niche only satisfied by PittMoss. Equally noteworthy, PittMoss can serve as an advantageous source material for various soil brands, replacing conventional components such as peat moss and coco coir.
We need sustainable alternatives to peat-based soils, and oversight and regulation on peatland preservation is rising, quickly.
– By 2030 the UK is enacting a full ban on peat use for consumer potting soil. https://www.lancswt.org.uk/news/uk-government-confirms-total-ban-all-peat-based-gardening-products-will-not-be-implemented
– Global peat output is expected to continue to decline due to increasing regulation and environmental concerns. https://www.globaltrademag.com/the-european-peat-market-to-languish-due-to-new-eco-regulation/
Solution
PittMoss: Soil Technology That is Better for Plants, and the Planet
PittMoss manufactures patented soils that not only preserve peatlands and upcycle waste, but also grow big, beautiful plants with less water and fertilizer. Made from the lignocellulosic fiber material currently sent to landfills, the revolutionary properties created by PittMoss’s upcycled materials optimize air, water, and nutrient delivery to plants. This encourages faster, stronger root development and top growth, resulting in bigger, healthier plants with more and larger blooms. The unique fiber structure of PittMoss creates physical, biological, and chemical properties that other soils simply cannot replicate. The PittMoss fiber structure is the secret (and protected) ingredient that can’t be replicated by others, and PittMoss products are much cleaner (pesticide free and organic) than other soils.
Many growers, like most experienced professionals, are resistant to changing their ways away from products that they have been using for generations (like peat-based soils). To overcome any barriers to adoption, PittMoss has developed a migration strategy for growers to move gradually from 100% peat-based products to reduced peat blends, then finally all the way to using PittMoss-only products. More progressive growers make the leap quickly, while others need to take their time and slowly migrate. PittMoss has a solution for either approach.
Business Model
A Universal Ingredient, Multiple Brands, and an Unmatched Strategic Advantage
Not only does PittMoss offer the best branded soils on the market today, but their products can be the key ingredient for all other soil manufacturers to use instead of peat moss or coconut coir.
Currently, PittMoss sells to over 350 businesses across 4 countries, operating in three main channels. The PittMoss base product is used as a commoditized peat replacement. Commercial soils are sold to commercial growers that currently buy soil blends from other peat companies. Retail soils have a customer base that includes e-commerce direct-to-consumer and distribution through garden centers, hardware stores, and, in the future, big box stores.
The overall company customer portfolio ranges from large commercial growers to garden centers and large soil blenders. The company intends to grow its small sales team to further expand the company footprint. In 2022, the company marked its first year with over $1m in sales of our soil and animal bedding products.
PittMoss has a variety of wholesale and commercial customers in key markets. PittMoss is in over 150 stores nationwide, and it is available online at PittMoss.com, Amazon, and other online outlets. Furthermore, PittMoss has over 100 commercial accounts, including international cultivators. The company has also been selling via distributors and large substrate mixers, so the exact customer count is larger than that tracked by the company itself. PittMoss has customers that have been purchasing PittMoss soils for over 5 years. PittMoss has also been featured or cited in nationwide news outlets, appeared on Shark Tank with a successful raise, and is in current trials with major institutions and recognizable substrate manufacturers.
The company has been recording revenues since 2016 and has been increasing revenues on average by +40% year over year. All of the revenue so far has been generated out of the first prototype plant, located in Ambridge, PA. With regard to the market opportunity, PittMoss has just scratched the surface and currently faces demand that exceeds the company’s production capacity.
However, after securing the necessary capital to expand the company’s footprint and upgrade equipment to the proper scale, PittMoss’s strategic advantages grow exponentially. As the one and only producer of soil from completely recycled materials, PittMoss is able to localize manufacturing, slashing the cost of logistics and providing substrate solutions to industries across the globe. Moreover, PittMoss produces materials that are not damaging to the planet’s peatlands or forests. The hyper-local manufacturing and capabilities at scale of PittMoss dramatically reduce costs for growers and farmers, all while providing meaningful and quantifiable positive impacts on the environment.
Although the current pilot facility has proven PittMoss’s ability to make product at scale, newer, upgraded facilities provide significantly more efficiency.
Once new facilities are on-line along with the existing pilot facility, it will give PittMoss the ability to lower sales prices, dramatically reduce costs of goods sold (COGS), and dramatically improve gross margins while also dramatically increasing volumes and profit margins per facility.
Market Projection
A Massive Market – Ripe for Disruption
$68 Billion Total Addressable Market
The estimated manufactured retail soil market alone is $16 billion; however, the platform technology developed by PittMoss has products that service not only retail markets, but large commercial applications in soil treatment, bio-fertilizer delivery systems, animal husbandry, and more. The market valuation for soil treatment alone is estimated to be upwards of $60 billion. Furthermore, demand for soil is growing while the world’s arable land supply is dwindling. Solutions like PittMoss are needed, and quickly.
Competition
Planting the seed for a new kind of soil
PittMoss is disrupting the traditional peat-based soil market by offering a greener, more effective and truly sustainable solution to all growers. Not only is PittMoss better for the planet, it helps create stronger, healthier plants with significantly less water and fertilizer. In fact, independent growth trials demonstrated using time-lapse photography that PittMoss plants actually grow bigger every week compared to plants in competing soil blends.
Traction & Customers
Secure Intellectual Property
First patent issued with second and third approved by the patent office to be issued in the coming months.
PittMoss has a multi-tiered strategy to protect its intellectual property, strategically segmented by patents, trademarks, and trade secrets. PittMoss’s portfolio includes patents for our soil products and utility patents covering process to product. PittMoss has been allowed filing for a recent (2022) process patent for their animal bedding technology. In addition to foundational IP and live patent families, a key facet of the company’s intellectual property is the guard protection of trade secrets. PittMoss trade secrets include product formulation and well over a decade of research into the many variables that make PittMoss products successful. This includes ingredients, feed stock ratios, equipment modifications, and more. PittMoss has established a trade secret policy analogous to that of companies like Abbott, Nike, etc., safeguarding trade secrets through secure internal catalogs, as well as non-centralized aggregation of process and methodology.
There has been precedent of PittMoss process obscurity and complexity effectively inhibiting imitation products by competitors. PittMoss has been approached by a large fertilizer conglomerate that attempted to produce a product like PittMoss in the past, but was unsuccessful. Their inability to replicate PittMoss’s success has garnered many active discussions that leverage the company’s position and strength of IP.
To date, PittMoss has focused on distribution into Independent Garden Centers (IGCs), hardware stores, small growers and distributors, and some medium growers and soil mixers. The company has focused on the customers above the dotted line in the pyramid illustrated in the figure below. This approach was preferred because the company didn’t have the capacity to fulfill the needs of larger customers, even though several have successfully trialed the company’s products. Additional capacity and regional facilities will allow the company to more actively approach some of the largest customers in the industry (i.e., those represented at the base of the pyramid and the top of the sales funnel in the aforementioned figure). Even so, the company is in the process of (or has completed) trials with many more customers than it is currently selling to due to capacity constraints.
Investors
Current Fundraise:
The company has actively engaged with an investment bank to secure a $15M Series A funding round. To date, the investment bank has identified two potential lead candidates and several potential syndication partners to fill the round.
Assuming the company can close the Series A round, the following pro-forma financials demonstrate the projections related to opening SEVEN new facilities with the proceeds of the round. This should allow the company to open 3-10 new facilities each year which are to be self-funded thereafter.
As shown in the pro-forma financial statements, the company should be profitable as quickly as the earnings drag from new facilities are mitigated through growth.
PicMii investors will be investing in a SAFE agreement at a 15% discount to the Series A round. The company anticipates that this will be the last opportunity for non-institutional investors to invest in the company.
