Why Retail, Brick & Mortar Fundraising Is Different
Investors must believe one store works and that it can be cloned with discipline.
Location Unit Economics
Build cost, ramp, sales, margins, labor, and rent per site.
Payback & Cash Flow
Time to recover build‑out and reach stable cash flow.
Expansion Repeatability
Site selection, pipeline, and lease strategy that scales.
Operating Systems
Staffing, training, SOPs, and controls for many locations.
Use of Proceeds
Capital tied to openings and measurable milestones.
Risk Controls
Plan for ramp risk, competition, and lease exposure.
We design investor acquisition strategies that reflect howRetail, Brick & Mortar investors actually think—not generic startup narratives.
Who We Work With
Strong Fit
We work best with retail and brick‑and‑mortar teams that:
- Have proof of unit economics from existing locations or pilots.
- Can show payback, margins, and cash flow stability.
- Hold a repeatable expansion plan and site pipeline.
- Want a structured investor engine with qualification and reporting.
Not a Fit
We are not the right partner for:
- No proof of unit economics or no repeatable model.
- Speculative expansion with no pipeline or site strategy.
- Teams seeking guaranteed capital raised.
- Issuers unwilling to follow compliant marketing rules.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do retail investors care about most?
They focus on unit economics per location, payback period, cash flow stability, and repeatability of the model.
Is Reg CF a good fit for brick‑and‑mortar brands?
Often yes for community‑backed local stories. Larger raises and bigger checks often use Reg D 506(c) or Reg A+.
How do you qualify investors so founders don’t waste time?
We build qualification into forms and messaging, then use nurture to educate before calls.
How long does it take to launch investor acquisition?
Most campaigns take 6–14 weeks, depending on structure, funnel build, and creative work.
Do you guarantee fundraising results?
No. We provide the investor acquisition system, not a guarantee of capital raised.
