Our Partners
Pope Universal Corporation (PUC)-Our Sister Company
On December 31, 2024, our sister company, Pope Universal Corporation (PUC), officially launched operations by issuing its first tranche of stock and capitalizing!
PUC is a Partnership Capital Enterprise, designed to partner to win and successfully implement contracts and grants. Although with a mission similar to PI’s, PUC takes collaborations a step further, by not only implementing contracts and grants but also bringing capital to the table, providing the leverage to catalyze and fuel partnerships.
George Schutter, PUC’s CEO, is tasked with leading and growing this new enterprise while continuing to support PI as a GovCon SME.
