PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS, SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED OCTOBER _____, 2024

3,500,000 Shares of Common Stock

Representative’s Warrants to purchase up to 175,000 Shares of Common Stock

175,000 Shares of Common Stock underlying the Representative’s Warrants

General Enterprise Ventures, Inc.

This is a firm commitment public offering of General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (the “Company,” “GEVI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We are offering 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”), at an assumed initial offering price of $[•]per share of Common Stock, which is based on the last reported sales price of our Common Stock of $[•] on October _____, 2024.

Immediately after this offering, assuming an offering size as set forth above, Mr. Joshua Ralston, our President, Chief Executive officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, will control approximately [•]% of our voting power through his ownership of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) (or [•]% of our voting power if the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full). As a result, we expect to be a controlled company within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”).

Prior to this offering, our Common Stock is quoted on the Pink Open Market (“OTC Pink”), maintained by OTC Markets, Inc., under the symbol “GEVI”. On [•], 2024, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on OTC Pink was $ [•] per share ($ [•] per share. We intend to apply to list our shares of Common Stock on NYSE American under the symbol “GEVI”. No assurance can be given that our application will be approved or that a trading market will develop. This offering is contingent upon the approval of such application. If our Common Stock is not approved for listing on NYSE American, we will not consummate this offering.

The number of shares of Common Stock offered in this prospectus and all other applicable information has been determined based on an assumed public offering price of $ [•] per share, which is based on the last reported sales price of our Common Stock of $ [•]  on [•], 2024. The actual public offering price of the Common Stock will be determined between the underwriters and us at the time of pricing, considering our historical performance and capital structure, prevailing market conditions, and overall assessment of our business, and may be at a discount to the current market price. Therefore, the assumed public offering price per share used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the actual public offering price for the Common Stock. See “Determination of Offering Price” for additional information.

Unless otherwise noted, the share and per share information in this prospectus reflects, other than in our financial statements and the notes thereto, a proposed reverse stock split of the outstanding Common Stock and treasury stock of the Company at an assumed 1-for    ratio to occur following the time that the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and prior to the closing of the offering.

We are an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and as such, we have elected to take advantage of certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings. Also, we are a “smaller reporting company” (and may continue to qualify as such even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company). See “Risk Factors”, “Prospectus Summary -Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company” and “Prospectus Summary - Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company.”

After completion of this offering, the Joshua Ralston will continue to control a majority of our outstanding common stock. As a result, we will be a “controlled company.” Under NYSE American rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group, or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain NYSE American corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that, within one year of the date of the listing of our common stock:

Investing in our Common Stock involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 12.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

We have granted a 45-day option to Univest Securities, LLC, as representative of the underwriters (the “Representative”), exercisable one or more times in whole or in part, to purchase up to an additional 525,000 shares of Common Stock. The aggregate amount of shares of our Common Stock sold pursuant to the Representative’s option may not exceed 15% of the total shares of our Common Stock sold in this offering.

We will issue to the Representative or its designees, at the closing of this offering, warrants to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold in this offering (the “Representative’s Warrants”) at an exercise price equal to 110% of the initial public offering price per share of Common Stock. The Representative’s Warrants will be exercisable beginning 180 days following the commencement of sales of the securities issued in this offering and will expire five years after such date. See “Underwriting.” This prospectus also relates to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative’s Warrants.

Delivery of the securities by the underwriters to the purchasers is expected to be made on or about [•], 2024.

Neither the Company, nor the underwriters, have authorized anyone to provide you with additional or different information. We are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, shares of our Common Stock only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The information contained in this prospectus or a free writing prospectus is accurate only as of its date, regardless of its time of delivery or of any sale of shares of our Common Stock. Our business, financial condition, operating results, and prospects may have changed since that date, and neither the delivery of this prospectus nor any sale made in connection with this prospectus shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in our affairs since the date of this prospectus or that the information contained by reference to this prospectus is correct as of any time after its date.

References to “the Company,” “we,” “GEVI,” “us,” “our” and words of like import refer to us and our subsidiaries, including, General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., Mighty Fire Breaker, LLC and Mighty Fire Breaker UK Ltd., unless the context indicates otherwise. References to General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., Mighty Fire Breaker, LLC and Mighty Fire Breaker UK Ltd., refer to the business and operations of General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., Mighty Fire Breaker, LLC and Mighty Fire Breaker UK Ltd., as the case may be, prior to acquisition by us unless the context indicates otherwise.

For investors outside the United States: the Company has not done anything that would permit this offering or possession or distribution of this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required, other than in the United States. Persons outside of the United States who come into possession of this prospectus must inform themselves about, and observe any restrictions relating to, the offering of the shares of Common Stock and the distribution of this prospectus outside of the United States.

Industry and Market Data

The market data and certain other statistical information used throughout this prospectus are based on independent industry publications, government publications and other published independent sources. Some data is also based on our good faith estimates. The industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in these publications.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains “forward-looking statements,” all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “expects,” “plans,” “will,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “intends,” “estimates,” and other words of similar meaning. One can identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are likely to address our growth strategy, financial results and product and development programs. One must carefully consider any such statement and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements. These factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially.

These risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, include, and are not limited to:

The forward-looking statements in this prospectus speak only as of the date of this prospectus and you should not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain events, risks, and uncertainties that may be outside of our control. When considering forward-looking statements, you should carefully review the risks, uncertainties and other cautionary statements in this prospectus as they identify certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in this prospectus include forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. The risks set forth below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties may exist that could also adversely affect our business, prospects or operations. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or a significant part of your investment.

Risks Relating to this Offering and our Reverse Stock-Split

Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value. 

The assumed public offering price of the shares of Common Stock is substantially higher than the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, investors in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $ __________ per share based on the assumed public offering price of $ __________ per share. Investors in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the book value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to provide funding for the following purposes: sales, general and administrative costs, production and inventory, and marketing. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our operating results or enhance the value of our securities.

Even if a reverse stock split of our Common Stock currently achieves the requisite increase in the market price of our Common Stock for listing of our Common Stock, we cannot assure you that the market price of our Common Stock will remain high enough for such reverse split to have the intended effect of complying with minimum bid price requirement for continued listing.

Even if the reverse stock split achieves the requisite increase in the market price of our Common Stock to be in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of NYSE American, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock following the reverse stock split will remain at a price per share sufficient to meet the continued listing standards on the NYSE American, which such price is determined at the discretion of the NYSE American, but which has historically been a trading price of below $[•] per share price average over a thirty trading day period. Maintaining a low price per share for a substantial period will result in a notice from the NYSE American requiring the Company to complete a reverse split or be subject to delisting if not completed in a reasonable time. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company’s Common Stock to decline in the period following a reverse stock split. If the market price of our Common Stock declines following the effectuation of the reverse stock split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split. In any event, other factors unrelated to the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, such as negative financial or operational results, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and jeopardize our ability to meet or maintain the NYSE American’s minimum trading price requirement.

Subject to the requirements of controlled company status, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with continued listing standards, a failure of which could result in a de-listing of our Common Stock.

The Company is a controlled company, because more than 50% of the voting rights are vested in one person, Joshua Ralston, our Chairman of the Board and executive officer. Accordingly, the Company will have reduced listing standards until such time as it is no longer a controlled company. In conjunction with this offering, we intend to apply to list our Common Stock on NYSE American. Prior to the consummation of this offering, our Common Stock was quoted on OTC Pink. There is no assurance that our Common Stock will be listed or be able to continue to comply with the applicable listing standards. Should our Common Stock be listed on NYSE American, to maintain that listing, NYSE American requires that the trading price of a company’s listed stock on NYSE American remain above one dollar in order for such stock to remain listed. If a listed stock trades below one dollar for more than 30 consecutive trading days, then it is subject to delisting from NYSE American. In addition, to maintain a listing on NYSE American, we must satisfy minimum financial and standards, including minimum stockholders’ equity, and certain corporate governance requirements. If we are unable to satisfy these requirements or standards, we could be subject to delisting, which would have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock when you wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, we would expect to take actions to restore our compliance with the listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our Common Stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our Common Stock, prevent our Common Stock from dropping below the minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with the listing requirements.

The reverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our Common Stock.

The liquidity of the shares of our Common Stock may be affected adversely by the reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following the reverse stock split, especially if the market price of our Common Stock does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split. In addition, the reverse stock split may increase the number of shareholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our Common Stock, creating the potential for such shareholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares of Common Stock and greater difficulty effecting such sales.

Following the reverse stock split, the resulting market price of our Common Stock may not attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. Consequently, the trading liquidity of our Common Stock may not improve.

Although we believe that a higher market price of our Common Stock may help generate greater or broader investor interest, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will result in a share price that will attract new investors, including institutional investors. In addition, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock will satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. As a result, the trading liquidity of our Common Stock may not necessarily improve.

As a result of the timing of the reverse stock split, uplist to NYSE American and pricing of this offering, potential investors will not have an opportunity to check the actual post-split market price before confirming their purchases in this offering.

We plan to file an amendment to our articles of incorporation, as amended, to effect the reverse stock split following the SEC declaring the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, effective and prior to closing of this offering. Because such reverse stock split will occur following the SEC declaring such registration statement effective and concurrently with the pricing of this offering, potential investors will not be able to check the actual post-split market price of our Common Stock on NYSE American before confirming purchases in the offering.

Risks Relating to our Common Stock and Securities

Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future, and as a result, investors in our Common Stock could incur substantial losses.

Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future. We may incur rapid and substantial decreases in our stock price in the foreseeable future that are unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. The market price for our Common Stock may be influenced by many factors, including the following: 

These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our operating performance. Since the stock price of our Common Stock has fluctuated in the past, has been recently volatile and may be volatile in the future, investors in our Common Stock could incur substantial losses. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. There can be no guarantee that our stock price will remain at current prices or that future sales of our Common Stock will not be at prices lower than those sold to investors.

Additionally, recently, securities of certain companies have experienced significant and extreme volatility in stock price due short sellers of shares of Common Stock, known as a “short squeeze.” These short squeezes have caused extreme volatility in those companies and in the market and have led to the price per share of those companies to trade at a significantly inflated rate that is disconnected from the underlying value of the company. Many investors who have purchased shares in those companies at an inflated rate face the risk of losing a significant portion of their original investment as the price per share has declined steadily as interest in those stocks have abated. While we have no reason to believe our shares would be the target of a short squeeze, there can be no assurance that we won’t be in the future, and you may lose a significant portion or all of your investment if you purchase our shares at a rate that is significantly disconnected from our underlying value.

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.

Sales of large blocks of our Common Stock could depress the price of our Common Stock. The existence of these shares and shares of Common Stock that may be issuable upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, warrants and options create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” which can act as a depressant to our Common Stock price. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities more difficult in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. If our existing shareholders and investors seek to convert or exercise such securities or sell a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock, such selling efforts may cause significant declines in the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, the shares of our Common Stock in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. As a result, a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may be sold in the public market following this offering. If there are significantly more shares of Common Stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our Common Stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered Common Stock and sellers remain willing to sell our Common Stock.

We do not expect to declare any Common Stock cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, Common Stockholders may need to rely on sales of their shares after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We are controlled by one principal stockholder who serves as our Chairman of the Board and our executive officer.

As of the date of this prospectus, Mr. Joshua Ralston owns 10,000,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to vote 1,000 votes per share, and as such Mr. Ralston controls approximately [•]%  of the vote, and the ability to control all other matters requiring the approval of our stockholders, including the election of all of our directors and the approval of the reverse stock split.

If we are unable to expand our base of customers, our future growth and operating results could be adversely affected.

We currently have over 100. We have committed and continue to commit resources to the expansion and increased marketing of our CitroTech™ product. If we are unable to market and sell our product to new customers, our ability to grow revenue and achieve profitability could be negatively impacted.

If we are unable to expand our base of manufacturers, our future growth and operating results could be adversely affected.

We currently have one manufacturer. We have committed resources to expanding our manufacturing base. If we are unable to obtain additional manufacturers it could limit our ability to grow revenue and achieve profitability.

Various factors outside our direct control may adversely affect manufacturing and distribution of our product.

Changes that our manufacturers may make outside the purview of our direct control can have an impact on our processes, quality of our product, and the successful delivery of our product to our customers. Mistakes and mishandling are not uncommon and can affect supply and delivery. Some of these risks include:

If any of these risks were to materialize, our ability to provide our product to customers on a timely basis would be adversely impacted.

Interruption of our supply chain could affect our ability to produce or deliver our product and could negatively impact our business and profitability.

Any material interruption in our supply chain, such as interruptions in service by third-party common carriers that ship goods within our distribution channels, social or labor unrest, labor shortages, natural disasters or political disputes and military conflicts that cause a material disruption in our supply chain could have a negative material impact on our business and our profitability. Our ability to find qualified suppliers who meet our standards and supply our product in a timely and efficient manner is a significant challenge. A supplier's failure to meet our standards, provide our product in a timely and efficient manner or comply with applicable laws is beyond our control. These issues could have a material negative impact on our business and profitability.

We are subject to the seasonality of wildfires that may occur and acts of God that are inconsistent and unpredictable.

Our business is highly dependent on the needs of government agencies to suppress fires. As such, our financial condition and results of operations are significantly impacted by weather as well as environmental and other factors affecting climate change, which impact the number and severity of fires in any given year. Historically, sales of our product have been higher in the summer season of each fiscal year due to weather patterns which we believe are generally correlated to a higher prevalence of wildfires.

We are relying exclusively on the skills and expertise of a single-person management team in conducting our business, who does not devote all of their time to managing the Company, and we currently have no full-time employees, which may impede our ability to carry on our business.

We are relying exclusively on the skills and expertise of a single person management team in conducting our business. Our President, Chief Executive officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors does not devote all of his time to managing the Company. We presently have no full-time employees, which may impede our ability to carry on our business. The lack of full-time employees among our officers may very well prevent the Company’s operations from being efficient, and may impair the business progress and growth, which is a risk to any investor. Our lack of full-time management may be an impediment to our business development. Without full-time officers, we may not have sufficient devoted time and effort to our commercialization efforts, or efforts to find and raise additional capital, or manage our business, which could impair our ability to succeed in our business plan and could cause investment in our Company to lose value.

The report of the independent registered public accounting firm on our 2023 and 2022 financial statements contains a going concern qualification.

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception and has been dependent on related parties to fund operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources, such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations, or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders.

The Company intends to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through a combination of increasing its revenues, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. The Company anticipates raising additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements in the near future to support its business operations; however, the Company may not have commitments from third parties for a sufficient amount of additional capital. The Company cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and its failure to raise capital when needed could limit its ability to continue its operations.

The Company’s ability to obtain additional funding will determine its ability to continue as a going concern. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and stock price and require it to curtail or cease operations, sell off its assets, seek protection from its creditors through bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary to raise additional funds, and may require that the Company relinquish valuable rights.

Since we have a limited operating history, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business.

Our limited operating history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations. Since our formation in March of 1990, we have not generated enough revenues to exceed our expenses. MFB California acquired the MFB portfolio of intellectual property in April 2022 and entered the fire retardant and fire suppression industry. As a result of us recently entering into these business lines, we are subject to all the risks inherent in the initial organization, financing, expenditures, complications, and delays inherent in new business lines. Investors should evaluate an investment in us in light of the uncertainties encountered by developing companies in a competitive environment. Our business is dependent upon the implementation of our business plan. We may not be successful in implementing such a plan and cannot guarantee that, if implemented, we will ultimately be able to attain profitability.

We do not currently have sufficient cash flow to maintain our business.

We do not currently have enough cash flow to operate our business. We expect our existing cash together with proceeds from this offering will enable us to fund our operating expenses through and capital expenditure requirements for five years from the date of this prospectus. The Company anticipates being cash-flow positive by the end of calendar year 2025. Therefore, the Company does not anticipate being dependent upon additional capital in the form of either debt or equity to continue our operations and expand our product to new markets.

Our management has limited experience operating a public company and is subject to the risks commonly encountered by early-stage companies.

Although our management has experience in operating small companies, our current management has not managed expansion while being a public company. Many investors may treat us as an early-stage company. Also, our management has not overseen a company with considerable growth. Because we have a limited operating history, our operating prospects should be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in rapidly evolving markets.

Increased operating costs and obstacles to cost recovery due to the pricing and cancelation terms of our raw materials and support services contracts may constrain our ability to make a profit.

Our profitability can be adversely affected to the extent we are faced with cost increases for raw materials, wages, or other labor-related expenses, especially when we cannot recover such increased costs through increases in the prices for our product and services. In some cases, we will have to absorb any cost increases, which may adversely impact our operating results.

If we do not have sufficient product liability insurance, we may be subject to claims that are in excess of our net worth.

Before we market any product, we will need to purchase significant product liability insurance. However, in the event of major claims from the use of our product, it is possible that our product liability insurance will not be sufficient to cover claims against us. We cannot assure you that we will not face liability arising out of the use of our product which is significantly in excess of the limits of our product liability insurance. In such event, if we do not have the funds or access to the funds necessary to satisfy such liability, we may be unable to continue in business.

Risks Related to Regulatory and Legal Matters

Our product is provided to emergency services personnel and is intended to protect lives and property, so we are subject to heightened liability and reputational risks if our product fails to provide such protection as intended.

Our fire retardant product is provided to, among other customers, emergency services personnel and is intended to protect lives and property, so we are subject to heightened liability risks if our product fails to provide such protection. While our product is effective in retarding fires, there is no guarantee such product will be able to stop all fires due to their unpredictability and variation in size and/or speed in which a fire is burning. In addition, fires need to be fought with the cooperation and assistance of local fire authorities as well as the additional tools and resources that they bring. Therefore, while we recognize the importance of the role our product plays in these critical efforts, our product is not the only factor in fighting fires and therefore we cannot guarantee that our product will always be able to protect life and property. Any failure to do so could have an adverse effect on our business.

We manufacture a product used to extinguish fires. The product we manufacture may be used in applications and situations that involve high levels of risk of personal injury. Failure to use our product for its intended purpose, failure to use our product properly or the malfunction of our product could result in serious bodily injury or death of the user. In such cases, we may be subject to product liability claims arising from the design, manufacture or sale of our product. If these claims are decided against us, and we are found to be liable, we may be required to pay substantial damages, and our insurance costs may increase significantly as a result. We cannot assure you that our indemnity and insurance coverage would be sufficient to cover the payment of any potential claim. In addition, we cannot assure you that this or any other indemnity or insurance coverage will continue to be available or, if available, that we will be able to obtain insurance at a reasonable cost. Any material uninsured loss could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our product is subject to extensive government scrutiny and regulation, including the EPA. There can be no assurance that such regulations will not change and that our product will continue to be approved for usage.

We are subject to regulation by federal government authorities. In some cases, for example, for our firefighting product, we need to pass the EPA qualification process every two years, which is a rigorous process that requires the product passing several tests and standards, including toxicity, corrosion and stability. We are also subject to ongoing reviews of our product, manufacturing processes and facilities by government authorities, and such agencies may at times be involved in challenges by outside groups, and as a result, the Company may be required to must also produce product data and comply with detailed regulatory requirements.

The Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act modified the Toxic Control Substances Act (“TSCA”), by requiring the EPA, to prioritize and evaluate the environmental and health risks of existing chemicals and provided the EPA with greater authority to regulate chemicals posing unreasonable risks. According to this statute, the EPA is required to make an affirmative finding that a new chemical will not pose an unreasonable risk before such chemical can go into production. These laws and regulations increase the complexity and costs of transporting our product to our customers. Further changes to these and similar regulations could restrict our ability to expand, build or acquire new facilities, require us to acquire costly control equipment, cause us to incur expenses associated with remediation of contamination, cause us to modify our manufacturing or shipping processes or otherwise increase our cost of doing business and have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the adoption of new laws, rules or regulations related to climate change poses risks that could harm our results of operations or affect the way we conduct our businesses. For example, new or modified regulations could require us to make substantial expenditures to enhance our environmental compliance efforts. New or stricter laws and regulations may be introduced that could result in additional compliance costs and prevent or inhibit the development, manufacture, distribution and sale of our product. Such outcomes could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our product or facilities could have environmental impacts and side effects.

If the product we sell does not have the intended effects, our business may suffer and it may be subject to product liability or other legal actions. Our product contains innovative combinations of materials. While there is data available with respect to the environmental impacts of our fire retardant product that are conducted by governmental agencies, this data is limited to certain locations and periods and therefore, may not capture all the possible environmental impacts and side effects of use or repeated use of our fire retardant product. Similarly, there have been toxicological studies conducted on the impact of our product on certain fish and mammalian species, however, this is limited in scope and therefore, does not present all the potential side effects and/or the product’ interaction with animal biochemistry. As a result, our product could have certain impact on the environment or the animal population that is currently unknown by the Company.

Legal and regulatory claims, investigations and proceedings may be initiated against us in the ordinary course of business. The outcomes and the amounts of any damages awarded, or fines or penalties assessed, cannot be predicted, and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation as well as our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be the subject of litigation by customers, suppliers and other third parties. A significant judgment against us, the loss of a significant permit, license or other approval, or a significant fine, penalty or contractual dispute could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Litigation is expensive, time consuming and may divert management’s attention away from the operation of the business. The outcome of litigation can never be predicted with certainty and an adverse outcome in any of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our reputation as well as our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness

We are highly leveraged.

As of June 30, 2024, our outstanding indebtedness was $2,047,003. Our leverage could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industries, expose us to interest rate risk to the extent of our variable rate debt and prevent us from meeting our obligations. This degree of leverage could have significant consequences, including:

We could incur additional indebtedness in the future. If new indebtedness is added to our current debt levels, the related risks we now face could increase.

If due to such a deterioration in our financial performance, our cash flows and capital resources were to be insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. In addition, if we were required to raise additional capital in the current financial markets, the terms of such financing, if available, could result in higher costs and greater restrictions on our business. If we were to need to refinance our existing indebtedness, the conditions in the financial markets at that time could make it difficult to refinance our existing indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all. If such alternative measures proved unsuccessful, we could face substantial liquidity problems.

Risks Relating to MFB

Changes in consumer preferences or discretionary consumer spending could harm our performance.

The success of our business depends, in part, upon the continued popularity of our concepts, and shifts in these consumer preferences could negatively affect our future profitability.

Negative publicity over certain environmental products may adversely affect demand for our product and could result in a decrease in our revenues, which could materially harm our business. Additionally, our success depends, in part, on a builder preference for our product and to an extent on numerous factors affecting operational budgeting, including economic conditions and customer confidence.

A decline in operational budgeting or economic conditions could reduce guest traffic or impose practical limits on pricing, either of which could harm our business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flow. We may be required to disclose third-party products we sell due to federal regulations, which may affect customer confidence.

We may become subject to potential claims for product liability.

Our business could expose us to claims for personal injury from contamination of our product. We believe that our product’ quality is carefully monitored through regular product testing, but we may be subject to liability as a result of customer or distributor misuse or storage. The Company maintains product liability insurance against certain types of claims in amounts which it believes to be adequate. The Company also maintains an umbrella insurance policy that it considers to be sufficient to cover claims made above its product liability insurance limits. Although no claims have been made against the Company or its distributors to date and the Company believes its current level of insurance to be adequate for its current business operations, it is possible that such claims will arise in the future, and the Company’s policies may not be sufficient to pay for such claims.

Increases in prices of commodities needed to manufacture our product could adversely affect profitability.

The ingredients and materials needed to manufacture and package our product are subject to the commodities markets’ normal price fluctuations. Any increase in the price of those ingredients and materials that cannot be passed along to the consumer will adversely affect our profitability. Any prolonged or permanent increase in the cost of the raw ingredients to manufacture our product may in the long term make it more difficult for us to earn a profit.

General Business Risks

We will be increasingly dependent on information technology, and our systems and infrastructure face certain risks, including cybersecurity and data leakage risks.

Significant disruptions to our information technology systems or breaches of information security could adversely affect our business. In the ordinary course of business, we will collect, store and transmit confidential information, and it is critical that we do so in a secure manner to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of such information. The size and complexity of our information technology systems, and those of third-party vendors, make such systems potentially vulnerable to service interruptions and security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, partners or vendors. These systems are also vulnerable to attacks by malicious third parties and may be susceptible to intentional or accidental physical damage to the infrastructure maintained by us or by third parties. Maintaining the secrecy of confidential, proprietary and/or trade secret information is important to our competitive business position. While we have taken steps to protect such information and have invested in systems and infrastructures to do so, there can be no guarantee that our efforts will prevent service interruptions or security breaches in our systems or the unauthorized or inadvertent wrongful use or disclosure of confidential information that could adversely affect our business operations or result in the loss, dissemination or misuse of critical or sensitive information. The increasing sophistication and frequency of cybersecurity threats, including targeted data breaches, ransomware attacks designed to encrypt our data for ransom and other malicious cyber activities, pose a significant risk to the integrity and confidentiality of our data systems. A breach our security measures or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure, unapproved dissemination, misappropriation or misuse of trade secrets, proprietary information or other confidential information, whether as a result of theft, hacking, fraud, trickery or other forms of deception, or for any other cause, could enable others to produce competing products, use our proprietary technology or information, and/or adversely affect our business position. Further, any such interruption, security breach, loss or disclosure of confidential information could result in financial, legal, business and reputational harm to us and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flow.

Our failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could have an adverse impact on us.

We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition, or results of operations. In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accounting firm’s attestation to or report on management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our Common Stock.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Further, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more persons, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

At present, management has identified a material weakness due to lack of segregation of duties. The lack of segregation of duties existed as a result of the Company having no full-time employees. Management plans to add additional resources, technology and headcount as warranted by the growth of the Company. Management is in the process of putting proper policies and procedures in place to ensure proper documentation is established and maintained for transactions that the Company enters into. While we believe these efforts will improve our internal controls and address the underlying causes of the material weakness, such material weakness will not be remediated until our remediation plan has been fully implemented and we have concluded that our controls are operating effectively for a sufficient period of time. We cannot be certain that the steps we are taking will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies that led to our material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting or prevent future material weaknesses or control deficiencies from occurring. While we are working to remediate the material weakness as timely and efficiently as possible, at this time we cannot provide an estimate of costs expected to be incurred in connection with the implementation of this remediation plan, nor can we provide an estimate of the time it will take to complete this remediation plan. Even if management does establish effective remedial measures, we cannot guarantee that those internal controls and disclosure controls that we put in place will prevent all possible errors, mistakes, or all fraud.

We could become subject to litigation that could be costly, result in the diversion of management’s time and efforts, require us to pay damages, and/or prevent us from developing or marketing our existing or future products.

Our commercial success will depend in part on not having any adverse environmental claims, whether relating to product failure violating the rights of third parties or violating applicable law. Any litigation or claim against us, even those without merit, may cause us to incur substantial costs, and could place a significant strain on our financial resources, divert the attention of management from our core business, and harm our reputation. Further, as the number of participants in the environmental industry grows, the possibility of claims against us increases. If we are found to violate applicable law or the rights of third parties, we could be required to pay substantial damages, including treble, or triple, damages if an infringement is found to be willful, and/or royalties and could be prevented from selling our product.

We could become subject to patent litigation that could be costly, result in the diversion of management’s time and efforts, require us to pay damages, and/or prevent us from developing or marketing our existing or future products.

Our commercial success will depend in part on not infringing the patents or violating the other proprietary rights of third parties. Any litigation or claim against us, even those without merit, may cause us to incur substantial costs, and could place a significant strain on our financial resources, divert the attention of management from our core business, and harm our reputation. Further, as the number of participants in the environmental industry grows, the possibility of intellectual property infringement claims against us increases. If we are found to infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, we could be required to pay substantial damages, including treble, or triple, damages if an infringement is found to be willful, and/or royalties and could be prevented from selling our product unless we obtain a license or are able to redesign our product to avoid infringement. Any such license may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all, and there can be no assurance that we would be able to redesign our product in a way that would not infringe the intellectual property rights of others. If we fail to obtain any required licenses or make any necessary changes to our product or technologies, we may have to withdraw our existing product from the market or may be unable to commercialize one or more of our future products, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. If passed into law, patent reform legislation currently pending in the U.S. Congress could significantly change the risks associated with bringing or defending a patent infringement lawsuit. For example, fee shifting legislation could require a non-prevailing party to pay the attorney fees of the prevailing party in some circumstances.

Our operating results and stock price may be volatile, and the market price of our Common Stock after this offering may drop below the price you pay.

Our quarterly operating results are likely to fluctuate in the future. In addition, securities markets worldwide have experienced, and are likely to continue to experience, significant price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could subject the market price of our shares to wide price fluctuations regardless of our operating performance. Our operating results and the trading price of our shares may fluctuate in response to various factors, including:

These and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause our operating results and the market price and demand for our shares to fluctuate substantially. Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results could limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares and may otherwise negatively affect the market price and liquidity of our shares. In addition, in the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any of our shareholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management away from our business, which could significantly harm our profitability and reputation.

The availability of shares for sale in the future could reduce the market price of our Common Stock.

In the future, we may issue securities to raise cash for acquisitions or otherwise. We may also acquire interests in other companies by using a combination of cash and Common Stock or just Common Stock. We may also issue securities convertible into our Common Stock. Any of these events may dilute your ownership interest in our Company and adversely impact our Common Stock’s price.

Also, sales of a substantial amount of our Common Stock in the public market or the perception that these sales may occur could reduce our Common Stock’s market price and impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our securities.

The indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws under Wyoming law may result in substantial expenditures by our Company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers, and employees.

As permitted by Wyoming law, our Articles of Incorporation provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers against expenses and liabilities they incur to defend, settle or satisfy any civil or criminal action brought against them on account of their being or having been directors or officers of us, unless, in any such action, they are adjudged to have acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our agreements with our directors, officers, and employees. These indemnification obligations could result in our Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors, officers, and employees that we may not recoup.

Pursuant to the laws of the State of Wyoming, our Articles of Incorporation exclude personal liability for its directors for monetary damages based upon any violation of their fiduciary duties as directors, except as to liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, acts in violation of the Wyoming Business Corporation Act, or any transaction from which a director receives an improper personal benefit.

This exclusion of liability does not limit any right, which a director may have to be indemnified, and does not affect any director's liability under federal or applicable state securities laws.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to provisions of the State of Wyoming, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

We are classified as a “smaller reporting company,” and we cannot be sure if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.

We are currently a “smaller reporting company.” Specifically, smaller reporting companies may provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings. Reduced disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

We are an “emerging growth company” and we expect to elect to comply with reduced public company reporting requirements, which could make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we are eligible for certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements. These exemptions include, but are not limited to, (i) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley, (ii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements, (iii) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved, and (iv) not being required to provide audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended 2021 in this prospectus. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years after the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which fifth anniversary will occur in 2029. However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenues exceed $1.25 billion, or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt securities in any three-year period, we would cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period. We have made certain elections with regard to the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus and may elect to take advantage of other reduced disclosure obligations in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to holders of our common stock may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result of any choice we make to reduce disclosure, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and the market price for our common stock may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act to delay adoption of new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to “opt-in” to this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards on a non-delayed basis. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Because directors and officers currently and for the foreseeable future will continue to control the Company, you will not likely be able to elect directors or have any say in the Company’s policies.

Our stockholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. Consequently, a majority vote will decide the election of directors and all other matters requiring stockholder approval. As long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the preferred stock will have voting rights representing 1,000 votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Joshua Ralston, who is our President, Chief Executive officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, holds all 10,000,000 outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and has voting control of the Company. As of the date of this prospectus, Joshua Ralston held [•]% of the voting securities of the Company. Following the consummation of this offering, Mr. Ralston will hold [•]% of the securities control of the Company.

We do not expect to pay dividends in the future; any return on investment may be limited to our Common Stock’s value.

We do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our Common Stock will depend on earnings, financial condition, and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the Board of Directors may consider relevant. Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base and development and marketing efforts.

There can be no assurance that we will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our Common Stock, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

Because our Company has anti-takeover mechanisms through the issuance of Our Series A Preferred Stock, this could have a negative impact on other shareholders in voting on matters of the Company.

Our stockholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. Consequently, a majority vote will decide the election of directors and all other matters requiring stockholder approval. As long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the preferred stock will have voting rights representing 1,000 votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Joshua Ralston, who is our President, Chief Executive officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, holds all outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and will continue to have, voting control of the Company. Mr. Ralston has the ability to influence significantly all matters requiring approval by our stockholders. Mr. Ralston may have interests that differ from other stockholders, and they may vote in a way with which other stockholders disagree and either or both may be adverse in the future to the interests of other stockholders. The concentration of ownership of our voting securities may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change of control of our Company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their securities as part of a sale of our Company.

Our Series A Preferred Stock may lead to conflicts of interest and could negatively impact the price of our securities.

Except as otherwise required by law or by the Articles of Incorporation and except as set forth below, the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the shares of Common Stock and other voting securities of the Company as a single class. As long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the preferred stock will have voting rights representing 1,000 votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. We are currently authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Joshua Ralston, who is our President, Chief Executive officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, owns all 10,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and will continue to have, voting control of the Company and the ability to influence significantly all matters requiring approval by our stockholders. Mr. Ralston may have interests that differ from other stockholders, and they may vote in a way with which other stockholders disagree and either or both may be adverse in the future to the interests of other stockholders. The concentration of ownership of our voting securities may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change of control of our Company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their securities as part of a sale of our Company, and consequently may affect the market price of our Common Stock. This concentration of ownership of our voting securities may also have the effect of influencing the completion of a change in control that may not necessarily be in the best interests of all of our stockholders. Also, the voting power of our Series A Preferred Stock means that Mr. Ralston will continue to control who is elected to serve on the Board of Directors, and other stockholders will have no say in the Company’s policies.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We expect the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $    million dollars, after deducting underwriting fees and discounts and estimated offering expenses of approximately $ [•] in the aggregate.

We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering substantially as follows:

Determination of Offering Price

The offering price has been determined by using a number of factors. We determined the offering price arbitrarily, as the market price of our Common Stock will likely continue to fluctuate. We have also taken in to account the other factors, by assessing the capital requirements of the Company against the current market price of our Common Stock and the price other investors were willing to pay for our Common Stock and the speculative nature of our business. The Company’s shares are currently quoted on OTC Pink under the symbol “GEVI”. An additional factor in determining the offering price based upon the price of the last sale of our Common Stock to investors.

DILUTION

If you invest in our Common Stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our Common Stock that you pay and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this offering. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets less our total liabilities by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Our historical net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 was ($606,094) or ($0.02) per share, based on 36,552,150 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2024 (prior to giving effect to the reverse stock split). The pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets as adjusted to take into account of (i) the conversion of [•] shares of Series C Convertible Preferred into [•] shares of Common Stock upon consummation of this offering, and (ii) the 1-for      reverse stock split. After giving effect to such transactions, our pro forma net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2024 would have been approximately $([•]), or $([•]) per share.

Dilution represents the difference between the amount per share paid by new investors who purchase shares from us in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Common Stock immediately after completion of this Offering. After giving effect to the transactions referred to above and the sale of 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $ [•] per share, after deducting the underwriting fees and discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 would have been $([•]), or $([•]) per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $ [•] per share to existing shareholders, and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of $ [•] per share to new investors purchasing shares in this offering. The table below illustrates this per share dilution as of June 30, 2024.

If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase up to 175,000 shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering would be $          per share, representing an immediate increase (decrease) to existing stockholders of $          per share and immediate dilution to new investors participating in this offering of $         per share, assuming that the assumed public offering price remains the same, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The following table sets forth, on a pro forma as adjusted basis as of June 30, 2024, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased or to be purchased from us, the total consideration paid or to be paid and the average price per share paid or to be paid by existing holders of Common Stock and by new investors, at an assumed public offering price of $           per share, before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us.

If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock in full, the number of shares of Common Stock held by existing stockholders will be reduced to      % of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding after this offering, and the number of shares of Common Stock held by investors participating in this offering will be further increased to         % of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding after this offering, based on all of the assumptions described above in this section.

To the extent any outstanding securities are exercised or converted or to the extent that we issue new securities which result in the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, new investors would experience further dilution.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and total capitalization as of June 30, 2024.

(1) The pro forma information above is illustrative only and will be further adjusted based on the actual public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. The number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding immediately after this offering is based on the assumed issuance of 3,500,000 Common Shares in this offering.

You should read the foregoing table in connection with “Prospectus Summary — Summary Historical Financial Data,” “Use of Proceeds,” “Description of Securities,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.

Our telephone number is (800) 401-4535, and our email address is welcome@generalenterpriseventures.com. Our website is www.generalenterpriseventures.com and www.mightyfirebreaker.com. We do not incorporate the information on or accessible through our website into this Registration Statement, and you should not consider any information on, or that can be accessed through, our website a part of this Registration Statement.

We are an environmentally sustainable fire retardant and rife suppression company throughout the United States and international markets. Management is highly experienced at business integration and re-branding potential. Our brand will be unique as we focus on markets in need of development.

We operate one line of business. Since MFB Ohio acquired the MFP portfolio of intellectual property on April 13, 2022, and formed Mighty Fire Breaker UK Ltd. on November 14, 2022 (collectively, “MFB”). MFB owns 30 patents and 26 patents pending for the flame retardant and flame suppression industry. MFB’s CitroTech product is currently being sold to fire departments in the State of California.

Our management is comprised of one individual, Joshua Ralston, who is our President, Chief Executive officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Ralston has [•] voting power through his ownership of Series A Preferred Stock with super voting rights to control the vote on substantially all corporate matters.

Results of Operations

The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and our unaudited interim financial statements for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, which are included herein.

Our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are summarized below:

Revenue

The Company’s revenue is associated with revenue from MFB Ohio which acquired intellectual property to fire suppression in April 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the revenue increased $548,000 over the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to MFB Ohio’s EPA approval and the filing of additional patents. With the EPA approval, MFB Ohio started the marketing phase of the company’s evolution.  MFB Ohio started selling directly to fire departments and launched its proactive wild-fire defense systems and is gaining momentum with commercial customers, along with attempting to influence the insurance industry to the benefit of consumers.

Operating Expenses

Contractual Obligations

Lease Agreements

The Company has one lease classified as an operating lease for an office and warehouse purpose. The following table outlines maturities of our lease liabilities as of June 30, 2024:

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared (i) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and (ii) assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant income to date. The Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with a business with no substantive revenue, as well as limitations on its operating capital resources. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In light of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise capital and generate revenue and profits in the future.

Future Capital Requirements

Our current available cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements. Our capital requirements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, will depend on numerous factors, including management’s evaluation of the timing of projects to pursue. Subject to our ability to generate revenues and cash flow from operations and our ability to raise additional capital (including through possible joint ventures or partnerships), we expect to incur substantial expenditures to carry out our business plan, as well as costs associated with our capital raising efforts and being a public company.

Our plans to finance our operations include seeking equity and debt financing, alliances or other partnership agreements, or other business transactions that would generate sufficient resources to ensure the continuation of our operations.

The sale of additional equity or debt securities may result in further dilution to our stockholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities or preferred stock, these securities could have rights senior to those of our Common Stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Any such required additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all. If we were unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of, delay or eliminate some or all of our planned activities and limit our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operations results.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. In consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, our management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, we, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in our financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is likely, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.

Our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to the following:

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of the contracts with our customers are satisfied. Our performance obligation generally of product used for lumber product for fire prevention. Revenue is recognized at a point in time, that is which the risks and rewards of ownership of the product transfer from the Company to the customer. All of our performance obligations under the terms of contracts with our customers have an original duration of one year or less.

Incremental borrowing rate for Right of Use Assets

As the Company’s operating leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate. The assessment of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate involves judgment regarding the cost of borrowing funds on a collateralized basis over a similar term and in a similar economic environment.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to nonemployees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Our Business

General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., (“GEVI,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Nevada on March 14, 1990. Our offices are located at 1740H Del Range Blvd, Suite 166, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82009. Our telephone number is (800) 401-4535, and our email address is welcome@generalenterpriseventures.com.

We do not incorporate the information on or accessible through our website into this Registration Statement, and you should not consider any information on, or that can be accessed through, our website a part of this Registration Statement.

We are an environmentally sustainable flame retardant and flame suppression company for the residential home industry throughout the United States and international markets. Since MFB Ohio acquired the MFB portfolio of intellectual property on April 13, 2022, and formed Mighty Fire Breaker UK Ltd. on November 14, 2022 (collectively, “MFB”).  Steve Conboy, who founded MFB, has been in the lumber business for over 30 years. Approximately 10 years ago, he realized that residential and commercial fires, as well as wildfires, would not cease for the foreseeable future. Mr. Conboy understood that, even if lumber was treated, it was toxic by nature and this toxicity Is harmful to humans and the environment. He realized that there was a market, and most importantly a need, for a product that was capable of fire suppression and being a fire retardant while also being the safest for the environment and for human beings.

Mr. Conboy set out to develop a formula for a product that would meet these requirements. During the course of research and development, Mr. Conboy formed MFB and contributed numerous patents toward development of the Green product line that was envisioned many years ago. That product is CitroTech. Since MFB Ohio acquired the MFB portfolio of intellectual property, Company management has continued to develop many formulations to achieve the vision. In addition, the Company has been recognized and certified for their achievement. These recognitions and achievements, including twice receiving the EPA Safer Choice award and being the first and only EPA certified fire retardant, UL Certification, GreenGaurd Gold for no VOCs, other accreditations, and adoption by departments throughout the State of California.

After the Company’s acquisition of the technology, the patent portfolio and technology will be expanded into areas that benefit from an environmentally safe product disrupting a market previously thought of as toxic and carcinogenic. MFB has developed and is in the initial phases of marketing wood coatings and is currently in USDA testing for delivery from aircraft using its safe, environmentally friendly technology. MFB is also currently deploying Proactive Wildfire Defense Systems on residential and commercial properties. Wildfire insurance is a significant problem in eleven western states. MFB is working with insurance companies to reduce the risk and allow properties to be insured in the Wilderness Urban Interface, a zone of transition between wilderness and developed land where built environment meets natural environment at greater risk of catastrophic wildfire. MFB is now in the proof of concept phase and developing revenues in the various markets.

Our management is comprised of one individual, Joshua Ralston, who is our President, Chief Executive officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Ralston has [•] voting power through his ownership of Series A Preferred Stock with super voting rights to control the vote on substantially all corporate matters.

Financial Performance to Date

As of June 30, 2024, we had limited revenue and we anticipate incurring operating losses and negative operating cash flow for the next twelve months.

Business Model

Principal product, services and markets

The Company’s subsidiary MFB holds various intellectual property in the form of patents and trademarks in the fields of fire suppression, mapping and tracking of fire retardant dispersion and fire inhibition chemistry and technology. The Company and MFB have obtained multiple certification and accreditations in this industry for its CitroTech product, such as being the only EPA Safer Choice approved, long-term fire retardant, UL GreenGaurd Gold, California Bioassay water approval, LENS, and in the process of USDA approval.

Distribution methods

MFB ships directly from its Rohnert Park, California facility, can drop ship orders through toll blenders and has product available at 12 regional retailers for smaller consumers.

Competitive business conditions and the Company’s competitive position in the industry

The fire retardant market has been status quo for many years without significant innovation. The market is regarded as having product that are not known for their environmental safety or sustainability, and are generally considered as not friendly toward humans, wildlife, fish, water, and plants. MFB’s CitroTech is an all-green fire retardant. MFB’s product will be competitive in many markets. Our industry is evolving rapidly and is becoming increasingly competitive. Competitors, such as Perimeter Solutions, SA have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. Competitors, such as Perimeter Solutions, SA have adopted, and may continue to adopt, aggressive pricing policies and devote substantially more resources to marketing, website and systems development than we do.

Patents, trademarks and licenses and their duration

MFB currently holds 30 granted patents and 26 pending patents. The granted patents include MFB’s main chemistry and applications. MFB has 21 trademarks and various copyrights.
