*Investments are subject to a 2% processing fee.
Every year, millions* of tons of tires are discarded to landfills,1 releasing carcinogens, microplastics, and methane into our air, land, rivers, and oceans.
The challenge is massive—but so is the opportunity.
*A systematic review of the environmental and health effects of waste tires recycling. Hashamfirooz, M., Dehghani, M. H., Khanizadeh, M., Aghaei, M., Bashardoost, P., Hassanvand, M. S., Hassanabadi, M., & Momeniha, F. (2025). Heliyon, 11(2). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2025.e41909
Our advanced process extracts valuable materials from end-of-life tires while generating energy that fuels our operations—and then some.
Our generators are carbon-neutral and powered by diesel made in our recycling process.
“We’re in the business of reinventing what’s possible while delivering value for the planet, people, and our shareholders.”
— Brad Hoagland, Founder & CEO
Every year, 1.5 billion tires are produced, and 17 million tons are discarded.1
These waste tires create serious burdens:
Within the 17 million tons of tires discarded every year are millions of tons of the following materials, ready for recycling:
By stopping decomposition and extracting these materials through our proprietary digester, we close the loop on the tire lifecycle.
We use what can be thought of as an industrial stomach. Food enters the stomach where it is broken down through the digestive process and nutrients fuel the body. Similarly, our system takes tires and digests them into raw materials that are sold and used to generate power for the digester itself—while also producing surplus energy for sale.
Our process operates at lower temperatures and more efficiently than competing methods—generating 20%-40% higher material yields.
We designed our digesters to power themselves as part of the recycling process. As long as tires are being digested, our plants are powered. We are working with experts from Rockwell and Motorola in the design of our warehouse (large scale) and containerized (highly mobile) digesters—bringing tire recycling closer to the waste, reducing costs, and increasing efficiency.
Large-Scale Warehouse Processing
Containerized Recycling
Both solutions can provide scalable, efficient, and profitable recycling, transforming toxic, decomposing tires into valuable raw materials and energy.
PowerLink isn’t just recycling—we’re creating multiple revenue streams from tires:
Each investment has a processing fee of 2%.
*Until our first non-US contract is signed or other major revenue event.
Founded in 2024, PowerLink is a bold, relentless, and unapologetically innovative technology company. We don’t just clean up waste—we aim to turn it into profit, challenging outdated systems and redefining what’s possible.
We believe in action over promises, science over perception, and results that deliver returns. With our large-scale warehouse digester and groundbreaking mobile containerized digester, we’re tackling tire waste at every level—creating financial opportunity and environmental impact.
PowerLink isn’t just recycling. We’re reinventing waste, turning it
into value for the planet, people, and our shareholders.

Why invest in startups?
Regulation CF allows investors to invest in startups and early-growth companies. This is different from helping a company raise money on Kickstarter; with Regulation CF Offerings, you arenʼt buying products or merchandise - you are buying a piece of a company and helping it grow.
How much can I invest?
Accredited investors can invest as much as they want. But if you are NOT an accredited investor, your investment limit depends on either your annual income or net worth, whichever is greater. If the number is less than $124,000, you can only invest 5% of it. If both are greater than $124,000 then your investment limit is 10%.
How do I calculate my net worth?
To calculate your net worth, just add up all of your assets and subtract all of your liabilities (excluding the value of the personʼs primary residence). The resulting sum is your net worth.
What are the tax implications of an equity crowdfunding investment?
We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.
Who can invest in a Regulation CF Offering?
Individuals over 18 years of age can invest.
What do I need to know about early-stage investing?
Are these investments risky? There will always be some risk involved when investing in a startup or small business. And the earlier you get in the more risk that is usually present. If a young company goes out of business, your ownership interest could lose all value. You may have limited voting power to direct the company due to dilution over time. You may also have to wait about five to seven years (if ever) for an exit via acquisition, IPO, etc. Because early-stage companies are still in the process of perfecting their products, services, and business model, nothing is guaranteed. Thatʼs why startups should only be part of a more balanced, overall investment portfolio.
When will I get my investment back?
The Common Stock (the "Shares") of PowerLink (the "Company") are not publicly-traded. As a result, the shares cannot be easily traded or sold. As an investor in a private company, you typically look to receive a return on your investment under the following scenarios: The Company gets acquired by another company. The Company goes public (makes an initial public offering). In those instances, you receive your pro-rata share of the distributions that occur, in the case of acquisition, or you can sell your shares on an exchange. These are both considered long-term exits, taking approximately 5-10 years (and often longer) to see the possibility for an exit. It can sometimes take years to build companies. Sometimes there will not be any return, as a result of business failure.
Can I sell my shares?
Shares sold via Regulation Crowdfunding offerings have a one-year lockup period before those shares can be sold under certain conditions. The exceptions are sales to: (i) to the Company; (ii) to an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act; (iii) as part of an offering registered under the Securities Act with the SEC; or (iv) to a member of the Investorʼs family or the equivalent, to a trust controlled by the Investor, to a trust created for the benefit of a member of the family of the Investor or equivalent, or in connection with the death or divorce of the Investor or other similar circumstance. Exceptions to limitations on selling shares during the one-year lockup period: In the event of death, divorce, or similar circumstance, shares can be transferred to: The company that issued the securities An accredited investor A family member (child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse or equivalent, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships)
What happens if a company does not reach their funding target?
If a company does not reach their minimum funding target, all funds will be returned to the investors after the close of the offering.
How can I learn more about a company's offering?
All available disclosure information can be found on the landing pages for our Regulation Crowdfunding offering.
What if I change my mind about investing?
You can cancel your investment at any time, for any reason, until 48 hours prior to a closing occurring. If youʼve already funded your investment and your funds are in escrow, your funds will be promptly refunded to you upon cancellation. To submit a request to cancel your investment please email: info@dealmakersecurities.com
How do I keep up with how the company is doing?
At a minimum, the company will be filing with the SEC and posting on itʼs website an annual report, along with certified financial statements. Those should be available 120 days after the fiscal year end. If the company meets a reporting exception, or eventually has to file more reported information to the SEC, the reporting described above may end. If these reports end, you may not continually have current financial information about the company.

DealMaker Securities is serving as the intermediary for this offering. Once an offering ends, there is no guarantee that DealMaker Securities will have a relationship with the company.
