A par-issued, parametric-insurance-wrapped cooperative credit unit — backed by audited carbon, data, and industrial yield.
Investor-Member capital sits in a separately constituted vehicle under D.C. Title 29 Ch. 10 (Limited Cooperative Association). Return profile is a Subchapter-T-compliant capped patronage allocation, with optional upside via 1:1 par convertibility to Treasury IC at the federal program launch.
Three entities, one operating system
Two D.C.-chartered cooperatives plus a separately chartered fiduciary trust. The General Cooperative Association (GCA) holds the standards-body role and majority patron-units in the operating LCA, preserving Subchapter T cooperative purity. The Limited Cooperative Association (LCA) is the operating vehicle that hosts the nine patron classes and the bounded founding-round Investor-Member sleeve. The Data Trust is a separately governed sub-trust that holds licensed-in member IP and data assets.
GCA (Title 29 Ch. 9)
Standards body. One-member-one-vote among institutional members. Holds the Coop-IC brand and majority patron-units in the LCA.
LCA (Title 29 Ch. 10)
Operating vehicle. Nine patron classes. Patronage dividend engine. Bounded Investor-Member sleeve in the founding round.
Data Trust (separate trust)
Fiduciary board. Holds licensed-in member IP and data assets. Valuation under IVSC IVS 210, IAS 38, ASC 350/820.
What you are buying, in one paragraph
Founding-round Investor-Member units in the LCA. Return is capped per the IRC §§ 1381–1388 (Subchapter T) capital-subordination principle — patronage dividends are paid first, then investor cap, then trust retention, then carry-forward. Hold period is target [N] years. Redemption is via two pathways: (1) the 1:1 par convertibility event when the federal Innovation Credit program lives (the upside thesis), and (2) a secondary-market wrapper via the cooperative's tokenization partner (the floor).
What you are NOT buying:a guarantee of Treasury IC convertibility. That is a roadmap commitment, not an operational feature. The cooperative is structured to be commercially viable on its own track. The Treasury bridge is the upside; the cooperative's patronage cash flow + HAE-eligible Data Trust collateral is the floor.
What “Treasury IC convertibility” actually unlocks
The Treasury bridge is one element of the par-event handoff. The cooperative also pre-stages the rails for three additional federal-endpoint use cases — each represents independent upside that lands at the same par event. The cooperative does not claim any of these as Year-1 deliverables; each is the cooperative-stage substrate Treasury inherits.
Treasury bridge (par convertibility)
The 1:1 par mechanic plus the seven-element par-event inheritance.
