Buy Shares
In 2013 we raised $1.2MM in seed funding through a grassroots community investment campaign in which over 400 people purchased shares in our company. The community support and funding that came from that campaign helped us establish a credible position with property owners, financial institutions and key partner which, in turn, helped us reach our next critical milestone of securing an optimal location for our store. Upon securing a location in 2016, we launched a second community investment campaign and raised an additional $500,000, bringing the total we’ve raised by selling stock to nearly $1.7MM from a total of 550 Founding Shareholders
The validation and positioning that we got from this community investment led us to raise $850,000 in grant funding, $970,000 angel investment for real estate and a $5.46M construction loan from two lenders. Now, as we prepare to begin construction in the Spring of 2018, we are conducting a third campaign to increase the total community investment to $2MM.
