You'd have to get to almost 2 billion in value for investors here to get the same valuation jump as Mr. Cuban is getting. Despite all of that I really want to be convinced!

Thanks so much for the kind words and interest in our company. I hope I can answer your question. We went on Shark Tank in 2014, having done just about $200,000 in revenue. We raised then at a $3m valuation, almost 15x our revenue. In the last 12 months we have sold nearly $6.5m in product, and are raising at a $60m valuation, less than 10x our trailing 12 month revenue, and just 4x our 2021 forecast.

The investment now, while of course still with risks, is much less risky than it was 6 years ago. Our goal is to grow our sales significantly over the next few years.

We are using the fundraising to hire 4-5 more sales people, be able to do larger inventory runs, and pay off some short term debt we took on when Covid first hit. Our hope is that with a successful fundraising, exponential sales growth and our huge new margins we will be able to self fund all of the growth without needing to raise again. That is what our financial model shows but models do not always work perfectly and things can change. Should we realize the need to raise additional capital we will only do so to add even more fuel to the growth. This could be because a large strategic investor (example being a large alcohol company) becomes interested, or we see an opportunity in the market we feel we are well positioned to take advantage of. As founders we take dilution very seriously as none of us want to be diluted unnecessarily. Fortunately, we have added a ton of value to all of our shareholders that have been with us at every phase of our growth, with many investing again in subsequent rounds. So that's a long winded way of saying no we do not intend to have to raise again after this, and if for some reason we do, we believe it will be in the best interest of everyone of our partners.","author_name":"Justin Fenchel","votes":2,"created_at":"2020-10-21T23:49:15Z"}]},{"id":331019,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:331019","question":"I am confused as far as return from acquisition. the example given was if somebody had 1000 shares and depending on which round they raised and gave an example of a share price and multiplied the number of shares by the share price yet when I got return that didn't apply. it was roughly less than half.","author_name":"John Webster","votes":1,"created_at":"2026-04-14T16:14:37Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/beatbox#question-331019","answers":[]},{"id":322592,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:322592","question":"I'm an investor in Beatbox I saw you all got bought by Anheuser Busch a month ago but I haven't heard anything from y'all can you tell me how this effects my little investment in Beatbox?

This raise checks almost every box, but with one big exception. Your valuation is so high here that investors here carry almost all of the downside risk. It is more than 33x the valuation you got on Shark Tank less than a year ago, even though your grow...","answer":"Hey Alan! Thanks so much for the kind words and interest in our company. I hope I can answer your question. We went on Shark Tank in 2014, having done just about $200,000 in revenue. We raised then at a $3m valuation, almost 15x our revenue. In the last 12 months we have sold nearly $6.5m in product, and are raising at a $60m valuation, less than 10x our trailing 12 month revenue, and just 4x our 2021 forecast. So on on a revenue multiple basis, this investment is actually less expensive than..."},{"question":"Will there be a return on investment?","answer":"Hey Michael - That is definitely the goal! We are planning to at least double our sales again next year and continue to grow at a rapid pace beyond that. As it stands now we are sold in less than 5% of the total account universe in the US alone, not to mention the international opportunity. So there is a TON of white space to go after. As our revenues grow, our valuation grows providing returns to our investors in the future."},{"question":"Thanks! It seems the valuation is reasonable. I'm definitely leaning toward investing. A couple of questions about finances: 1. I was glad to see your answer to Will because cost of sales was an issue in 2019 but 55% is solid. As far as OPEX, how much of those costs are variab...","answer":"Alan - thanks for the thoughtful questions. The beauty of breaking down the distribution/retail barriers in the alcohol industry is that once you've got the accounts and they are selling, it scales extremely quickly over a mostly fixed cost base. Of course we will be hiring more people, doing larger scale marketing activities, etc. however that will be a much smaller increase than the projected sales growth...so over time more and more falls to the bottom line. We offer very competitive salar..."},{"question":"Great package here Future Proof team! Three questions... What do you plan on using this fund raise for? How much of a cash runway will this raise get you? Do you have plans for additional fundraising or does your financial model allow you to pay off debt and fund future growth...","answer":"Hey Kyle - thanks for the great questions. We are using the fundraising to hire 4-5 more sales people, be able to do larger inventory runs, and pay off some short term debt we took on when Covid first hit. Our hope is that with a successful fundraising, exponential sales growth and our huge new margins we will be able to self fund all of the growth without needing to raise again. That is what our financial model shows but models do not always work perfectly and things can change. Should we re..."},{"question":"Hi Justin and team, congrats on all your successes so far. Im a DJ myself and resonate with the brand, vision, product and team and i invested after the boardroom pitch so im excited to be part of this journey. Still i do have some questions. What are your 1yr 3yr and 5yr mile...","answer":"Michaelangelo first of all thank you so much for your investment and belief in our company/vision. It means a ton. And we absolutely need to get you some boxes for your next show!! From the beginning we have said we want to be the Red Bull of the alcohol industry. To be more than just a product, but an experiential lifestyle brand centered around music and bringing people together across the world. When thinking about the next 1, 3 and 5 years...we like to think about the total account univer..."}]}}}
