DroneSeed Automated drone-based reforestation technology • 5-10x faster at 1/10 th cost, plus remote access Drone-based Reforestation • Enables faster reforestation of hillsides • Portland, OR http://www.droneseed.co Broad App Drone based seeding across agricultural spectrum Early Financing Seed stage, raising capital later in 2016 Stage Investment Status First unit built, testing with large forestry company Likely Exit Sale to precision forestry services company Problem Logging creates massive erosion issues, delays in reforestation Salmon & Steelhead Application Drone-based reforestation system Management Impact Enables “Rapid Response” and greater scale of reforestation 5

Natel Energy New turbine design • Same power with 1/10 th height Low Head Hydro Technology • Enables “run of river” hydro • San Francisco, California Broad App Enables new dam sites to consider “run of river” design Financing Early Series A completed, Series B round expected in Q1 2017 Stage Investment Status Tech proven, first demo coming on line (Bhutan) Likely Exit Sale to large power company Problem Current turbine technology requires river blocking dams Salmon & Steelhead Application Faster, cheaper replacement of river-blocking power dams Management Impact Increase habitat (river miles), eliminate inter-dam slack water 6

Applied Physics Lab High resolution, low cost Didson Sonar • Able to see minute detail Next Gen Didson Sonar • More accurate fish counts across more rivers • Seattle, WA Broad App High resolution underwater sonar Early Financing Seed round 2017-18 Stage Investment Status Pilot being developed in lab Likely Exit Sale to military services or underwater exploration company Problem Current Didson sonar is expensive and can’t identify adipose fin Salmon & Steelhead Application Real time fish counts identifying wild vs. hatchery fish Management Enables scientists and government agencies to accurately determine Impact wild vs. hatchery fish returns 7

Kepler Communications “Disposable” low cost low orbit satellites • Massively scales ability to observe ocean fleet Low Cost Satellite Network • Allows identification of offshore poaching • Seattle, WA/Toronto, Can Broad App Low cost real time photo’s and asset tracking Early Financing Completed $5m seed round in Q2 2016 Stage Investment Status Prepping first two satellites for launch Likely Exit Sale to satellite services or communications company Problem Current satellites are expensive to use and hard to update Salmon & Steelhead Application Real time tracking of offshore fleets to identify suspicious actors Management Impact Reduction of offshore poaching, decreased “open ocean” loss 8
