Invest in the Power Plants Every AI Company Needs
You don’t have to pick which AI company wins. Invest in the infrastructure every one of them needs — at the development stage, before institutional capital reprices the opportunity.
440+ new Texas data centers planned — all need power
3-GW-plant construction begins in 2026
Multiple acquisition offers already received
Leadership has exited 12+ energy projects to buyers
Invest now — before we scale alongside America’s growing energy demand.
The AI Bottleneck Is No Longer Chips. It’s Electricity
Behind every AI breakthrough is a data center requiring massive amounts of always-on power. By 2030, these data centers will require more energy than Germany and France combined6. America already has 7X as many data centers as the next closest country. But with global AI spend on pace to reach $2 trillion this year, the race is accelerating. To keep this lead, America needs new sources of local, reliable, 24/7 electricity.
3X
More Power To deliver the required data center infrastructure, the United States will need to more than triple its annual power capacity over the coming years —from 25 GW of demand in 2024 to more than 80 GW in 2030.

New Power Plant Development. Starting Near the Finish Line
Our expertise goes beyond utility-scale operations into ground-up energy development — the slow, complex work that institutional buyers don’t want to do themselves. We secure the land, permits, grid interconnection, and long-term gas supply so that when buyers like AI companies or large-scale operators arrive, they find shovel-ready projects, not years of uncertainty.
Serious Buyers Are Already Coming to Us
The milestones that stall most projects are already behind us. With 3 GW of planned capacity in Texas, buyers are lining up.
Land secured
Land secured across multiple development sites in high-demand ERCOT zones.
Natural gas supply lined up
enabling firm, always-on generation.

The Number of Data Centers in Texas is Doubling
By the end of 2026, Texas electricity demand will have grown 11% in three years — more than double the national average3. That’s driven in part by its 400+ data centers, second only to Virginia4. But Virginia’s regulators recently blocked $98M in new projects5. With abundant land, natural gas access, and welcoming regulators, 440+ new Texas data centers are coming. The problem: getting the power they need online is slow, expensive, and overly complicated.
43% of America’s Electricity Comes From Natural Gas7
That’s not an accident. Wind and solar can’t deliver the reliability data centers require. Nuclear is a decade away with enormous regulatory hurdles. Natural gas is fast to deploy, flexible to operate, and provides always-on power exactly where and when it’s needed. For AI data centers running 24/7, it checks every box.
We Plan to Scale Our Project Pipeline 3X+ by 2028
Your investment fuels the next wave of projects — building on proven momentum, a clear development path, and institutional-grade appeal. Our repeatable model is designed to scale into new sites as demand grows.
Strategic. Risk-Aware. Exit-Focused.
This is the kind of infrastructure opportunity most investors never see: energy assets early enough to offer meaningful upside, but far enough along to be de-risked and real.
Years Ahead: Permits filed. Land secured. Gas sourced. Grid studies done.
The Right Location: Houston is ground zero for surging demand and constrained capacity.
Accessible Natural Gas: Natural gas is the most reliable path to meet AI energy needs at scale.
Proven Leadership: Developed and built 10+ GW of power generation with successful exits
Positioned For Sale: To infrastructure funds, utilities, strategic acquirers, or platform-level exits

Frequently Asked Questions
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 aren’t 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 person’s 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. That’s 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 American Power Gen (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.
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 offering 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 you’ve 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 its 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.
What relationship does the company have with DealMaker Securities?
Once an offering ends, the company may continue its relationship with DealMaker Securities for additional offerings in the future. DealMaker Securities’ affiliates may also provide ongoing services to the company. There is no guarantee any services will continue after the offering ends.
