Read the video transcript
Capital can build more than a portfolio. It can build places, connect communities, and carry a family legacy forward. Introducing Cerise AI, powered by TechSector International LLC.
The experience begins with you. A guided investor intake captures your background, your priorities, and the kind of conversation you want to have.
Explore private capital, property finance, sponsorship, and separately governed community giving. Each pathway has its own purpose, documentation, and human review.
Consent comes first. Identity and eligibility checks belong in an approved verification process, with clear status labels. A submitted form is never the same as an approved investor.
Your proposed workspace brings opportunities, open questions, and next steps together. A calmer interface helps the team focus on the decisions that matter.
The proposed twenty twenty-seven showcase connects Cab-Inn twenty-four seven hospitality, Comal Currents community experiences, and Courtroom Simulator educational technology. Potential Cerise collaborations, each subject to separate review.
Cab-Inn twenty-four seven imagines private garden suites, extraordinary shared spaces, and a destination built around the guest. Explore the hospitality vision before discussing any investment.
Courtroom Simulator introduces educational legal simulation and evidence-centered preparation. In Cerise AI, investors can explore the platform story while keeping legal and investment decisions with qualified professionals.
Enter a deal room to explore the proposal, understand the capital request, and see what is still missing. Marion sixteen demonstrates how facts and forecasts stay clearly separated.
Ask Cerise AI to explain the brief, locate a source, or prepare diligence questions. Investment recommendations, commitments, and final terms stay with qualified people.
The document vault concept organizes records by purpose and review status. Proposed production controls include restricted access and audit trails. This demonstration does not collect sensitive documents.
Explore conditional scenarios before the meeting. Change assumptions, compare the result, and keep the downside visible. A model is a conversation tool, never a promise of return.
Sponsorship deserves its own journey. Shape a community experience, define proposed benefits, and send a clear inquiry. No fabricated audiences, booked artists, or confirmed partners.
Fourteen screens. One forward-looking vision. Cerise AI: the future of innovative capital. Presented by Dominick Howard and Joel Krock. Powered by TechSector International LLC. Explore the concept. Start the conversation.
Cerise AI is a proposed app experience. Project images are AI-generated concepts. Potential Cerise collaborations are not committed investments. This film is not an offer of securities or investment advice.

The proposed next chapter
01 / The legacy
Seeing value.
Before everyone else.
The Cherry family’s demolition and recycling history sets the foundation. Cerise’s next chapter brings that same operator’s judgment to land, capital and community.
1956
Start with the work.
A Houston moving business begins the family’s story.
History supplied in investor brief
The growth years
Build something enduring.
Demolition and recycling become the family’s operating foundation.
Cerise company background
2020
A defining milestone.
Arcosa announces the completion of the Cherry Companies acquisition for $298 million.
Arcosa investor relations ↗
January 6, 2020 announcement
The next chapter
Capital with a personal touch.
Cerise’s focus spans consulting, commercial real estate, light industrial, raw land and development.
The $298 million is the announced acquisition price for Cherry Companies. It is not a statement of personal wealth, Cerise’s current assets or available investment capital.
02 / The seed after the clearing
Every new chapter
starts with an opening.
A vision of continuity: the instinct to recover value, the discipline to prepare a site, and the patience to build something that outlasts us.
Make room for possibility.
Clearing the ground is an act of foresight. It creates space for what a place can become.
03 / The active financing proposal
Marion Reserve.
A stronger first chapter.
Marion 16 is the first decision: complete rehabilitation, lease the homes and stabilize operations. Future concepts remain separate decisions.

Ask from supplied lender plan. Water-line phase of $40K–$70K is an additional estimate. Closing costs and carrying reserves require reconciliation.
Current position, disclosed. The September lender plan reports 6 of 16 homes occupied, 5 paying households, $4,900 monthly collections and approximately $5,100–$6,100 monthly negative cash flow. These are owner-reported figures, not audited results.

01 / Protect the collateral
Roofing before interiors. Unit-specific scopes. Documented work before rehabilitation draws.
02 / Restore the income
Minor turns first, then roof-dependent units. Track actual collections alongside physical occupancy.
03 / Underwrite the exit
Refinance or sale only after stabilization and lender review. No guaranteed exit or return.
Open the source ledger & revision differences
| Item | Presentation basis | Evidence / open item |
|---|---|---|
| Facility | $800,000 ask | $650K payoff + $150K rehab; lender plan and brief agree. |
| Primary / surplus land | 1.60 / 0.73 acres | 1.60 primary + 0.73 surplus acres, described as Guadalupe CAD-verified in the sponsor brief. The September 10 plan’s 1.70 / 0.75 figures are superseded typos per the sponsor correction. Original CAD record and survey remain to be attached. |
| Stabilized NOI | $109,475 Rev 11 target | Rev 11 adopts $900 / $1,050 monthly planning rents and $109,475 target NOI. At 8% vacancy this implies $62,749 annual operating expenses, including $13,777.92 management and $48,971.08 fixed expenses. The itemized budget remains pending; this is not audited NOI. |
| Monthly rent assumptions | $900 / $1,050 planning | Rev 11 planning basis. Historical collections remain dated owner reports. |
| Taxes / insurance | $6,033.82 reported tax bill | Sponsor-reported paid tax bill: $6,033.82 (receipt pending). The prior $20,000 tax allowance was a stress assumption, not the actual bill. Post-rehabilitation reassessment may increase taxes; retain an explicit tax stress when finalizing the itemized budget. |
| Illustrative valuation | $1,368,438 at 8% cap | $109,475 ÷ 0.08. Income model, not an appraisal. |
| Per-unit comparison | Brief: $85K–$98K vs $147K–$166K | Source listing samples differ from closed comparable sales. Broker opinion and sale records required. |
| Storage concept | ±10,880 SF / 74 doors in brief | Rev A shows floor-area concept; final unit schedule and net rentable area need design verification. |
Model = conditional forecast. Ask = requested funding. Owner reported = supplied statement. A “county-verified” label in a source document is not independent verification by this presentation.

Value / proposed $800K facility
Rev 11 adopts $900 / $1,050 monthly planning rents and $109,475 target NOI. At 8% vacancy this implies $62,749 annual operating expenses, including $13,777.92 management and $48,971.08 fixed expenses. The itemized budget remains pending; this is not audited NOI. Debt yield: 13.68%. Not a return to investors.
Value = NOI ÷ cap rate. Coverage = indicated value ÷ requested facility. Downside and severe figures are calculated from the Rev 11 planning allowance with the rent, vacancy and expense stresses shown above. This is not DSCR. Final debt service terms are not agreed.

One parcel.
Two possible futures.
The 0.73-acre surplus parcel offers optionality. Neither concept is funded, approved or included in the primary stabilization commitment.

Two-story duplexes • concept
- About 1,050 SF per home, schematic.
- 19.2 units per acre, subject to site-civil review.
- Proposed $900 / $1,050 rents require market underwriting.
- Primary stabilization, survey, access, utilities and jurisdictional review come first.

Doors • brief assumption
- Three storage buildings and an on-site manager unit in the concept.
- Gate-controlled access and perimeter lighting.
- Brief illustration: $0.90/SF/month × 85% occupancy ≈ $99,878 annual rent before expenses.
- The brief’s $93,600 estimate does not match that formula. Rev A leaves rates for underwriting.
Verify rentable area, local demand, unit mix, access and floodplain before relying on any income forecast.
05 / The mission-forward hybrid
Build value.
Keep purpose
in the plan.
The L3C philosophy pairs entrepreneurial discipline with a lasting social purpose. Our proposal brings that mindset to housing, community and the next generation.
Straight talk on structure. This is a proposed mission-driven model, not a representation that Cerise is an L3C corporation. Texas does not currently offer a domestic L3C form. An LLC or the existing LP alongside a separately governed foundation is a structure to review with counsel. The L3C label does not itself confer federal tax exemption or automatic PRI eligibility.
