How Frontieras North America Is Expanding Access to Early-Stage Energy Investment
For decades, large-scale energy innovation followed a predictable capital formation path:
Private capital first.
Institutional participation next.
Public access later.
Retail investors typically entered at the final stage — often after substantial development milestones had been achieved and much of the early value creation had already occurred.
That structure was not exclusionary by intent.
It was structural by design.
Before modern digital capital platforms and updated securities frameworks, it simply wasn’t feasible to efficiently include a broad base of individual investors in early-stage infrastructure projects.
Technology changed that.
Frontieras North America recognized that evolution — and embraced it.
Built First. Funded Later.
Frontieras did not begin with a capital raise.
It began with engineering discipline and intellectual property protection.
For seven years, founders Matthew McKean and Joseph Witherspoon self-funded development of the company’s Solid Carbon Fractionation (SCF) technology. They invested their own capital and committed more than 40,000 man-hours refining the commercial model, engineering the process, and securing global patents.
By the end of that period, the company had secured patents in nine nations across five continents.
The U.S. patent — the most strategically significant — was granted in 2018 and was one of the final pieces of the global portfolio.
Following its issuance:
• Canada mirrored the U.S. claims shortly thereafter
• Australia expanded and modified its claims
• India mirrored the U.S. claims
With U.S. patent protection secured, the intellectual property position became globally defensible.
Only then did the company begin raising outside capital.
Protection first.
Validation second.
Commercialization third.
Validation Before Commercialization
After securing patent protection, Frontieras raised capital from accredited private investors to validate the technology at scale.
Those funds were deployed to:
• Construct and operate a scaled test unit
• Generate engineering performance data
• Establish yield and output benchmarks
• Develop commercial-scale plant design
• Validate product specifications through one of the world’s largest independent testing laboratories
Retail participation followed validation — not the other way around.
Technology-Enabled Capital Access
Once validation was complete, Frontieras expanded access through Regulation CF and Regulation A+ offerings.
Modern digital capital formation platforms and updated regulatory frameworks made it possible to efficiently include individual investors earlier in the lifecycle of an infrastructure-scale company.
To date, the company has raised:
• Over $20 million in total
• Across private placements, Regulation CF, and Regulation A+
• Nearly 6,000 individual shareholders
• $5.5+ million through Regulation CF
• Nearly $10 million in the first 45 days of its current Regulation A+ offering
This approach complemented traditional capital structures and allowed qualified individual investors to participate during a stage that historically would have been limited to private institutional networks.
Real Assets. Measured Execution.
On January 15th, after three years of environmental, engineering, and site feasibility due diligence, the company closed on its flagship site in Mason County, West Virginia.
That due diligence included:
• Environmental reviews
• Engineering feasibility studies
• Rail and barge logistics evaluation
• Infrastructure modeling
• Risk mitigation analysis
• Long-term expansion assessment
On April 2nd, Frontieras marked its ceremonial groundbreaking at the Mason site — signaling the transition from validation to infrastructure deployment.
The planned facility represents:
• An $850 million flagship project
• 7,500 tons per day processing capacity
• Hundreds of operational jobs
• Significant regional economic impact
Participation, Timing — and What Comes Next
The current share price stands at $7.77.
With the Mason County groundbreaking ceremony and forthcoming company announcements, Frontieras is entering a more publicly visible phase of development.
Milestone events often increase awareness and investor interest.
Investing prior to:
• Full commercial plant ramp-up
• Expanded institutional engagement
• Broader analyst and media coverage
• Larger-scale financing milestones
Represents a different lifecycle stage than investing afterward.
While no forward-looking assurances can be made, participation during earlier execution phases differs structurally from participation at later maturity stages.
