We pair our patent-protected system with a stewarded, regulator-aligned program to deliver measurable herd reduction for agencies and large landowners. Your mandate Close industry/investor contracts and build the team that turns pilots into multi-year deals. Keep us legal, boring, and profitable. What you’ll do Land strategic pilots → state term contracts → federal SOWs. Raise non-dilutive and strategic capital without giving up data rights.

Enforce stewardship: certification, audits, 24‑hour incident response, public reporting. What success looks like (12 months) 10+ active pilot sites, ≥2 state term contracts, 1 federal umbrella SOW in motion. Blended GM ≥40% with improving route density. Digital logbook + lot traceability live; Stewardship Report v1 published. Core team hired; pipeline predictable. You have Closed government/enterprise deals in regulated ag/chem, wildlife, or adjacent infra. Worked with EPA/state processes; you respect labels and love SOPs. Built field programs from 0→1 and 1→N. Comfort with insurance, PR, and risk controls. Nice to have USDA/APHIS or state wildlife relationships. Data product literacy (telemetry, dashboards, traceability). Provider-channel playbook. We sell an agricultural product in a regulated category. Stewardship and compliance are non-negotiable. #J-18808-Ljbffr Wild Pig Solutions
