Here is what that means to us. The history of the human race has always been one of innovation. Innovators have historically met the needs of their time by utilizing available information to bring forth incredible, transformative, and positive changes to our lives and the world. For most of these innovations, the assumption was they would not impact the environment, or that the tradeoffs of any negative impact were worth the improvements. Our understanding of the world around us is now much more evolved. We now recognize the intricate interdependence between humans and our natural ecosystems, acknowledging the indispensable role of healthy natural environments in our prosperity. To us, this new awareness means we need to reimagine our economy from the ground up…rethinking how we move, what we wear, where we live, what we eat, how we make things, and what we do with it all when it is used up or tossed aside. As we say this, we are not blind to the economic and social realities this re-imagining requires. Solutions must be better, cheaper and/or faster. They need to drive job creation and replacement, not just job destruction. They need to be able to economically self-sustain, and not exist solely at the whims of the current political environment or the latest subsidy. Anchored by this mission, Meliorate Partners is dedicated to discovering and supporting the innovators dreaming up solutions that replace, transition, or mitigate the consequences of past decisions. We act with a simple yet powerful principle: “replace where we can, transition where we must, and mitigate when we can’t do the first two.\" Our mission extends beyond mere investment. We're part of a new movement of founders and investors, a community dedicated to re-imagining the economic landscape to prioritize harmony between our natural ecosystems and humanity, investing in a future where environmental sustainability and economic prosperity go hand in hand.","endorsement_name":"","is_lead_investor":false,"memo_paid_for_by_company":false,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/meliorate.partners"]},{"id":11939,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_investor_profile:11939","investor_profile_id":4305012,"investor_profile_entity_id":"wefunder:investor_profile:4305012","subject_entity_id":"wefunder:notable_investor:15751","name":"Jignesh Patel","role_title":"","avatar_url":"https://wefunder.com/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NTMyNjkxLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--e897ccf4181f6c2efead45f42e7c534cd05bbe7a/filename","profile_url":"https://wefunder.com/jignesh.patel.4","endorsement_name":"","investment_total":85000,"investment_info":"Invested $50,000 this round \u0026 $35,000 previously","is_lead_investor":false,"memo_paid_for_by_company":false,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/jignesh.patel.4"]},{"id":13051,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_investor_profile:13051","investor_profile_id":4298284,"investor_profile_entity_id":"wefunder:investor_profile:4298284","subject_entity_id":"wefunder:user:4807222","name":"Steven Andres","role_title":"","bio":"Innovator and Investor","avatar_url":"https://wefunder.com/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NTI0Njc4LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--b751a507344281d95bc493ace0d622882b60d9bf/profile_picture_6a86ba28ef87.png","profile_url":"https://wefunder.com/steven.andres.1","endorsement_quote":"I believe in the long-term vision of The Ark Companies, paving the way to a sustainable, eco-friendly, electrified floating hospitality experience.

Thank you for the question. First, Guest Passes are not available to the public; they can only be purchased by/through a member for that member's guests. A member can bring guests by either 1) using their allotment of monthly hours for their guests, or 2) purchasing a Guest Pass. We anticipate Guest Passes being priced at $75 and they would last for as long as the member is at the club (whether that's 3 hours 5, it would match the member's attendance). Access to the club is prioritized for Members first. Thus, at peak usage times, we would limit the number of Guest slots (1-3 guests per member) and during off peak-times, may go as high as 5 guests (for a total group of 6). Any group larger than 6 may require a private event booking. We remain flexible on some of this and will welcome feedback from our applicants as we convert them to members.

I'll break these out into bullet point and answer them for you here. Separately, you can always visit our blog where you can learn a lot more: https://arkhaus.medium.com/ * Adverse weather - Of the initial 7 cities we intend to launch, 2 of them present adverse weather. In Miami where there are severe storms and hurricanes, we have a 3-stage preparedness plan as winds rise up and into hurricane categories. 1) Under 50mph winds: The vessels are on spuds and elevated a few feet out of water, so all wave turbulence rolls right under the club. It is unaffected by high chop. 2) 50-100mph winds: The club will close (as will most hospitality businesses). The wraparound decks of the club fold up to create a protective cage around the vessels, protecting it from any flying debris. 3) 100mph+ winds: We disconnect the club vessels, drop them into water, and move them into a drydock on land (pre-arranged annual agreement to secure our space). Once we ride out the storm, we get back into water and re-open the club. NYC presents a cold-weather issue. Thanks to the flexible modularity of the club, in October we will disconnect the vessels, spend 3-4 weeks cruising down the east coast while we 'pop-up' in some of the major cities a couple nights at a time. We will either 1) reach South Carolina and ride out the winter there before cruising back and popping up back on the east coast or 2) continue to Miami where we will join the Miami vessels and create an 8-vessel mega club for 3-4 months. We are researching the logistics of this latter option, but it is gaining steam because many NYC members will be in Miami and there will be a need for an expanded club. In contrast, the NYC summer sees many of our members leave NYC and go to the Hamptons. We have the option to leave two vessels in Manhattan and send two out to the Hamptons, giving our members access out there as well. The mobile and modular nature of our club provides us a layer of flexibility no other club can have. * Assembled modular-system vessel able to navigate as one vessel? - The vessels are built separately, and we then position them, raise them, and connect them. They club cannot move as a whole, once it is connected. However, it is relatively easy to disconnect the vessels, drop them back down into water, move them, and reconnect Disconnection and reconnection should take about 30 minutes each, with appropriate staff. * Is the anchoring component similar to the jack-up cranes used for oil production in Louisiana? - Yes, that is exactly right! In fact, the provider of the jack-up spuds is a LA based company that provides those spuds to that exact industry. Arkup chose them for the spuds because their product is already on USCG commercially inspected vessels. * If weather is so bad, do reservations have to be canceled? - Yes, if the club reaches winds of 50+ mph, we will close. Reservations will be canceled and the membership hours the member was using will revert back to their account. This is not a problem for us because at 360 members (and estimated guests), the club is only using 50% of it's allotted hours capacity. So there is no problem with canceling and rescheduling member visits. * Do you plan on special insurance for those situations? - Yes, we have already received quotes for a variety of basic and special coverages we will need. We are now refining those coverages and pricing as we near putting them in place next year. We anticipate the following policies: Watercraft (protect the vessels), General Liability, Protection \u0026amp; Indemnity, Professional Liability, a \"Bumperchute\" (covers gaps in maritime insurance), and an Umbrella policy. I hope that all helps! Let me know if there is anything else I can answer.

The primary assets that we own are the vessels that make up the club, as well as the tender boats that serve to shuttle members to and from the club. Most of the furnishings will be pre-purchased and built into the vessels. We do however have to design and integrate the soft kitchen and bars, exactly the way we want them. So there will be a good purchasing cycle coming up soon For food and beverage, we are still deciding how we will offer the food...whether it is internally managed or outsourced to a restaurant or specialized provider. On the beverage side, we will be using a partner's specialized liquor license which allows us to operate with a combination of theirs and our own staff. Both F\u0026amp;B have to be absolutely first class, so we are working very aggressively on these two. Besides the memberships and food and beverage...there are a few other ancillary revenue sources. Private event bookings by our members, water sports offerings, and some very special events will have a ticketed cost. Besides that, most everything is included in the price of the membership. The real growth in revenue will come from expanding the membership base for each location, which we will do after we observe usage patterns...and also from expansion into multiple locations. Creating a larger network of clubs will serve to bring more memberships on and that will grow our revenue base drastically faster than tertiary sources of revenue. We are already making good ground for New York and Southern California. Thanks again for your interest, and my apologies that I did not confirm this message went out the first time.
