Great Investment Opportunity… probably not for you.

This is a rare opportunity for a discerning investor who is eager to gain a strategic advantage in the SME acquisitions ecosystem — and to get in on the cheap.

In addition to some defensible IP and zig-when-others-are-zagging business model, we have a clearly defined customer journey and parallel value ladder, with a straight path to generating US$650K in topline annual revenue by end of Year 1; and $2.7M in topline annual revenue by end of year 3, with a forecasted average gross profit margin (across 4 product offerings) of 40%

The 2 people behind this startup have successfully delivered on each of the individual strands of this business over the past 13 years, and are now bringing it all together in a uniquely efficient and profitable business model that may just put a ding in the SME Universe.

This business model has been designed to:


1. Provide unmatched value to an underserved market segment


2. Ensure stable and predictable cost structures and lean infrastructure


3. Maintain a hyper-local (city) relevance with efficient (inter)national scalability

4. Establish an authority position with a valuable but difficult to access audience


5. Offer a front-row opportunity for the acquisition of attractive businesses

I'm reluctant to reveal too much more here, but for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, I will say this:

If ^redacted‌ (from Acquiring Minds podcast) and ^redacted‌ (from Owned & Operated podcast) were discussing this deal over lunch, they might enthusiastically gush over how exquisitely it intersects with their respective (and publicly stated) ambitions — which would only take listening to 4 podcast episodes for you to figure that out — and they might even go so far as to make THIS opportunity the basis of a formal partnership.

So what's the investment opportunity?

Quite simply, we're asking for $65K for 10% of the company.

Our ideal investor is someone who has the strategic foresight to see beyond the 7X - 10X financial return that they'll receive over the next 5 years — someone who is able to fathom the astounding advantage of exclusive VIP access to the finest off-market acquisition deals in more than 25 major cities.

If this quirky presentation hasn't already totally turned you off, there is a very slim chance that you may be our people. Send me a message.

For everyone else, feel free to drive up the engagement with cynical expressions of your doubt and disbelief.
