Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to raise capital for a distillery or brewery?
It depends on your raise size, investor audience, and growth stage. Reg CF works well for
consumer-facing brands, while Reg D 506(c) is often better for larger expansion raises targeting
accredited investors.
Can alcohol businesses advertise a fundraising campaign?
Yes, but only within the rules of the chosen exemption. We design investor acquisition strategies
that stay compliant while still driving demand.
How much traction do investors expect?
Most investors expect proof of demand, revenue, or a clear path to profitability. The higher the
raise target, the higher the expectation for traction.
How long does investor acquisition take?
From strategy to launch, most campaigns take 6–14 weeks depending on complexity and offering
structure.
Do you guarantee fundraising results?
No. No ethical firm can guarantee capital raised. What we guarantee is a disciplined, compliant
investor acquisition system designed to maximize your probability of success.
