how do we make money if we invest now? also when or how long?

Hello Krishna. Thanks for your question. The way investors make money from investing in private companies is typically through an exit (acquisition) or IPO, typically over a 3-5 year time frame. Bud Love could make an attractive acquisition for a tobacco company that wants exposure to the cannabis industry without the legal complications. The attraction of investing in private companies is the potential for much better returns than investing in the stock market. Also have a look at this short...

When will the investment round close?

Hello, we will definitely keep it open through February but maybe longer - we can technically keep it open until April. We may do a first close in February if we are keeping it open for longer. Hope this helps.

Interesting product. Would be easy to get mass distribution. But am I reading this correctly... $0 in revenue and close to $4M raised?

Thank you for the opportunity to clarify Daniel. The financials prepared for the Form CF were for the half year ended June 2022. Bud Love was launched in late September, so as at June naturally there were no revenues yet. Bud Love the product was developed over the course of a year and a half including blind studies and focus groups, not to speak of manufacturing and formulation development.

Bud Love is blazing the way for a new product category: BUD MIXERS; satisfying unmet consumer needs and transforming markets worldwide!

Watch Roy Lipski, CEO of Bud Love, discuss this unique opportunity to own a piece of the next product revolution*.

Forward-looking projections of margins and revenues cannot be guaranteed.

Breakthrough innovations and new categories, such as plant-based meats, electric cars and streaming services, keep redefining consumer behavior while making fortunes for investors.

Bud Love is spearheading the next new category – Bud Mixers – that’s set to revolutionize how cannabis is enjoyed by millions of people worldwide.

* Tobacco is commonly mixed with cannabis, as are certain herbs occasionally. However, the Company believes that Bud Love is the world's first mixer specifically designed and formulated to be mixed with cannabis and consumed together, to enhance and improve the experience and buzz.

Rooted In Large Consumer Trends

Like the mixology revolution that drove a 12% growth in the spirit market in 2021 (while beer and wine were flat), Bud Love is rooted in the large overarching trends shaping the preferences of today's consumers, as well as the unmet needs of cannabis users.

Introducing Bud Love

Bud Love Premium Herbal+ Mixers are designed to be combined with cannabis flower and enjoyed together, like the mixer in a cocktail - only for flower. Bud Love is made from marshmallow leaf, an ancient medicinal herb; the mother cannabinoid, CBG; and rich natural flavors, including terpenes.

Bud Love IS Cannabis Mixology

Bud Love won’t give customers a buzz on its own. But when mixed with cannabis, it complements it, bringing out its best qualities and moderating undesired side-effects.

Driven by major consumer trends and satisfying the unmet needs of cannabis users worldwide, Bud Love is the breakthrough innovation that the massive cannabis market has been waiting for!

Customers love Bud Love!

Two blind studies in April & May of 2022 gave resoundingly positive feedback, proving Bud Love’s strong market fit.

And customers are being vocal in their appreciation.

Bud Love Is Available In Stores And Online

Bud Love is available in 8 flavors designed to complement different cannabis strains - from classic to more fruity, natural, and even tobacco flavored (nicotine-free) for those who enjoy a spliff. It’s manufactured in the US using a proprietary, solvent-free process that ensures consistency and quality in every batch.

Bud Love can be purchased in dispensaries, smoke shops, and convenience stores, as well as online (depending on state laws). Sales are supported by extensive in-store collateral, awareness campaigns and on-the-ground promoters.
