The Next Asset Class in Public–Private Development | Investors, Developers and Government

Dear Partners, Investors, and Stakeholders:

Since August 2023, LocalContent.com™ has been on a simple mission: transform how the world measures and trusts development. We’ve led and supported supply chain, workforce, and community benefit investments across projects worth millions—and billions—in energy, manufacturing, real estate, and maritime. With over two decades of public–private experience and a growing library of real-world data, we’ve built something new: a technology platform designed to power capital, contracts, government incentives, and public trust.

Local content requirements aren’t new. They’ve existed since the 1970s. What’s new is how we approach them. For too long, compliance has been a box to check. Today, it becomes something greater—a certification asset class. For industry, for communities, for both for-profits and nonprofits, it’s a way to turn obligations into opportunity.

AI changed the equation. In the past year, we’ve combined compute power with decades of policy and project expertise to create the foundation of LocalContent.com and our certification program. The result is an AI-powered platform that makes compliance measurable, visible, and investable.

This fall, we’re introducing:

• AI-Powered Certification – 150-point assessments and public badge system. Platinum, Gold and Sliver
• The Local Content Exchange™ – a marketplace to connect suppliers, developers, and agencies.
• Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) – making certified businesses discoverable across AI procurement systems.
• Local Content GOV Compliance™ – expert guidance to navigate complex regulations.
• Local Content Intelligence™ – personalized profiles aligning people and businesses with the right opportunities.

Together, these tools reimagine compliance—not as red tape, but as a competitive edge.

For communities, this means visibility, trust, and shared accountability. For governments, it safeguards taxpayer value. For developers, it unlocks funding, contracts, and permits faster.

The need is urgent. $1.2 trillion in U.S. infrastructure investment and a $94 trillion global market depend on transparent supply chains and verifiable local impact. Until now, no universal standard existed.

We believe compliance is the next asset class. Scored, certified, and monetized, it will change how industries invest, how governments fund, and how communities thrive.

This is more than technology. It’s a movement to build the next era of infrastructure—together.

Sincerely,
‍
