Our Founder's Story


  • đŸ“œïž For over 5 years, Grand Bahama has been without its beloved first-run movie theater.
  • đŸŽŸïž Residents have been missing out on the simple joy of a local cinema night and have been traveling off-island to watch the latest movies, or waiting for months for the film to be released on streaming.
  • đŸ‘šâ€đŸ‘©â€đŸ‘§â€đŸ‘Š Very limited family-friendly entertainment options on the island in a market desperate for them.

Phase 1 - Multi-Screen Movie Theaterï»żï»żï»ż

We’re not just building a movie theater—we’re creating a one-of-a-kind entertainment destination that blends the magic of cinema with the excitement of boutique bowling. With two Digital & 4K-compatible screens offering up to 150 seats (including an ultra-premium VIP section), Cayplex is set to redefine entertainment in Grand Bahama. Add to that a sleek, modern boutique bowling alley, and we’re delivering an experience that’s fresh, luxurious, and irresistible.

Why Grand Bahama? The market here is an untapped goldmine for family-friendly entertainment. With no modern cinema or upscale bowling facility, the demand for a high-quality venue is crystal clear. Cayplex is positioned to fill that gap, creating a hub that combines nostalgia with luxury and appeals to both locals and tourists alike.

We’re not just showing movies; we’re delivering unforgettable moments. From crisp Digital 4K visuals to immersive sound using cutting-edge audiovisual technology that is Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) standard & compliant, we’ll provide access to the latest film releases through our licensed and regulated film buyers, making Cayplex the place where people will rediscover the joy of cinema. 

Phase 1.5 - Boutique Bowling Alley

This isn’t your typical bowling alley—it’s a curated experience. Picture sleek lanes, cozy seating, vibrant lighting, and a menu crafted for indulgence. Perfect for families, date nights, or just a fun night out, it’s bowling, reimagined.

We also believe in giving people a reason to splurge! Whether it’s our VIP theater seating with concierge service or boutique bowling lanes with tailored dining, Cayplex offers multiple tiers of luxury designed to delight every guest.

Here’s the beauty of our model: it’s not just about tickets. With multiple income streams—including bowling fees, concessions, vendor rentals, and exclusive event bookings—we’ve built a business that’s adaptable and built to last.

Whether it's the thrill of a blockbuster on the big screen or the excitement of a perfect bowling game, Cayplex is where Grand Bahama will come to create lasting memories.


Phase 2 - Multipurpose Multiplex

A vision for the future: More screens, more entertainment, more memories.

Phase two will be the construction of a 20,000 square-foot multiplex movie theater with:

  • 🎬 Multiple Digital 3D & 4K screens (with increased seating capacity)
  • 🎳 A boutique bowling alley with up to six (6) computerized bowling lanes
  • đŸœïž A franchise-branded restaurant & bar providing a unique and comfortable dining experience coupled with unobstructed rooftop views.
  • ♻ Our second phase facility will be a green energy building using solar power and built at an elevation of 10 ft. height off the ground on concrete pilings, and utilizing furnishings that will keep the compound resilient against the possibility of future storms, so that the facility can also function as a self-sustaining hurricane shelter.


A Strong Pipeline of Eager Customers

Forward looking projections are not guaranteed.
  • Targeting 42% of Grand Bahama's 47,000 residents in three demographics: children, young adults & families.
  • We're estimating 80,000 annual admissions based on 4 visits per capita and projecting over $2.8M annual revenue across our business model's product & service mix.

Population count is based on the 2022 Official Bahamas Census Data. Phase 1 admissions estimate is based on an average of 4 visits per capita annually by 42% of the on-island population, with an average spend of $15-35 each visit; following pre-2019 on-island movie theater trends.

Over $550,000 spent on theatre entertainment by residents since 2020

Even with no movie theater during this time, the local market still spent over $550,000 to attend various drive-in movie events and live theater performances. It's evident that the demand for seated entertainment is on the rise, and Cayplex is poised to capitalize on this momentum.

The above aggregate data reflects the revenue generated from various drive-in movie events and live theater performances held on the island since 2020, provided by various event hosts.



On both February 3rd, 2024 & October 12th, 2024, we hosted our first and second pop-up cinema experiences at the Regency Theater, and it was nothing short of magical! 🎬✹ After years without a true cinematic experience on Grand Bahama, we brought back the magic of the movies in an unforgettable evening that revived the spirit of the community’s joy and cinematic wonder that's been dearly missed. From the laughter of children to the shared smiles of friends and family experiencing the cinema together, every moment was a reminder of how the power of the movie theater experience brings us together.

Investment Perks




When it comes to entertainment in Grand Bahama, Cayplex is set to be unmatched. With a bold, customer-first approach, we’re not just entering the market—we’re taking it over.

🔘 Cinema Market Monopoly

We’re poised to become the only licensed and regulated movie theater in the city, exclusively showcasing the latest global film releases. That means Cayplex will be the go-to destination for fresh cinematic experiences—no competition, no compromises.

🔘 Ahead of Streaming

Streaming platforms and black market devices can’t compete with the thrill of seeing a blockbuster the day it’s released. This is particularly true when distributors classify our region as Latin America, meaning theater-released streaming titles aren’t available to our primary audience until many months later. So while streaming services lag months behind and illegal streaming devices deliver poor quality, Cayplex offers what audiences crave: high-definition, immersive entertainment—right on time.

🔘 White-Glove Service

Customer experience is where we’ll shine. Our staff will be trained to deliver exceptional, VIP-level service, ensuring every guest feels valued, catered to, and eager to return. This level of care isn’t just service—it’s a standard that will set us apart.

🔘 Community Ownership

Unlike other ventures, Cayplex has a unique connection to the community through its shareholder-driven model. With shareholders as a fraction of customers, we’ll foster loyalty and advocacy that competitors simply can’t replicate.

🔘 Diverse Entertainment Landscape

Cayplex isn’t just competing with other movie options—we’re competing with concerts, nights out, and tourist entertainment districts. But with our focus on quality, engagement, and community ties, we’ll position ourselves as the top choice for entertainment in Grand Bahama.

We’re not just here to fill a gap—we’re here to dominate, offering a premier entertainment experience that the city has never seen before.




ï»ż

We’ve already secured $523,000 in government-backed funding through the Access Accelerator Small Business Development Center, fully covering the construction of our multi-screen cinema and core operations for Phase 1. But then we saw an opportunity to do more.

Why stop at a theater when we could create a full-fledged entertainment hub? By leveraging unused space in our leased location, we’re adding a boutique bowling alley to expand revenue streams and give families and groups an exciting reason to visit beyond just movies. At the same time, we’re addressing one of the biggest operational pain points within the city: skyrocketing utility costs and unreliable power supply. Investing in a commercial-grade solar energy system will slash overhead costs and make our operations more sustainable, putting us in control of our energy future.

Any capital raised during this round will be combined with our total funding arrangements with private debt & equity partners, to fully open our first phase.

Why We Need You

We’re turning to our crowdfunding community to raise the capital to fund these two essential upgrades. With your help, we’ll not only bring Grand Bahama its first modern cinema in over half a decade but also create a sustainable, multi-revenue entertainment hub that meets the needs of our community and transforms the local entertainment landscape.

By combining this funding with our already-raised capital, we’ll fully realize Phase 1.5 of Cayplex Entertainment. Together, we can bring this bold vision to life—building an entertainment destination that’s profitable, sustainable, and unforgettable.

Ready to be part of the journey? Let’s make Cayplex a reality.


We're Focused on Steady Growth

Cayplex's financial roadmap is anchored in a plan for modest, yet robust growth, with ticket sales for movie screenings being our primary revenue driver. Our high-margin concessions, offering food and beverages, further enhance our profitability. Below, our projections detail anticipated revenue, net profit, and expenses over the next four years, showcasing our commitment to maximizing shareholder value.

Forward-looking projections are not guaranteed.



Phase 1: Launching the Foundation

We kick things off with a strong, diversified revenue model built around the cinema core:

  • Movie Tickets – Average pricing between $10–$25 across child, general, and VIP tiers.
  • Concessions – Revenue from high-margin food & beverage sales during showtimes.
  • Advertising – Pre-roll digital ad placements sold to local and national brands.
  • Events & Rentals – Facility use for live events hosted by us or third-party organizers.
  • Leasing Spaces – Dedicated setups rented out to restaurants for in-theater sales.

Phase 1.5: Bowling + Energy Optimization

This is where things level up. Backed by additional funding and momentum, we’re adding two critical elements:

  • Boutique Bowling Experience – A stylish multi-lane setup designed to attract families, young adults, and corporate groups. This adds an entirely new revenue stream beyond films and drives repeat visitation during off-peak movie hours.
  • Grid-Tied Solar System – A clean energy solution that significantly reduces utility costs, stabilizes operations in an area with unreliable power, and protects our bottom line long-term.

Phase 2: Scaling for Dominance

With Phase 1.5 fueling momentum, we go bigger:

  • Theater Expansion – Additional Digital 3D & 4K screens, including a multipurpose theater with seating for ~800.
  • Culinary Ventures – A branded franchise restaurant & bar to elevate the dining experience.
  • Digital Subscriptions – Plex Pass monthly memberships unlocking premium perks and access.
  • Premium Events – Conferences, concerts, film festivals, and private rentals in a flexible venue space.


Our journey towards our grand opening is a roadmap of key milestones and strategic steps after raising capital in this round, to bring a revolutionary cinematic experience to Grand Bahama and beyond.





In an industry where innovation often lags, Cayplex is breaking the mold. We’re redefining what it means to go to the movies by integrating cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies with the warmth of human connection.

We’re leveraging GPT-powered AI tools to analyze customer data and craft experiences tailored uniquely to each moviegoer. Whether it’s exclusive discounts, curated snack offers, or VIP invitations, every interaction will feel personal and meaningful.

Imagine receiving not just movie suggestions but personalized messaging and exclusive deals based on your habits. From food combos to premiere alerts, we’re curating journeys that make every visit to Cayplex special.

Our AI strategy doesn’t just drive customer experiences—it builds loyalty. By understanding preferences, we design marketing campaigns that speak directly to what our audience wants. Think targeted offers, early previews, and promotions that increase engagement and deepen connections. By combining the power of AI with authentic customer care, we’re creating an environment that delights, surprises, and keeps guests coming back for more.

This is the future of entertainment, and it starts with Cayplex.

Our ambitions don't stop at the shores of Grand Bahama. We envision a future where our brand is synonymous with family-friendly entertainment across the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and even in the bustling markets of the U.S. and Canada. Our expansion strategy is meticulously crafted, focusing on key locations in densely populated and sustainable markets. These are places where the demand for quality entertainment is palpable, and where Cayplex can stand out, not just as another entertainment option, but as a premier choice.

Our goal is to build a franchise brand that resonates with audiences far and wide. Just as giants like AMC Theaters have multiple locations adding to their brand value, each new Cayplex location will be a testament to our growth and commitment to providing unparalleled entertainment experiences. For our shareholders, this means one thing: as we grow and establish more locations, the value of your shares rises. Every new theater, every screen, and every seat added to the Cayplex family is a step towards increasing the value of your investment. We're not just in the business of entertainment; we're in the business of growth, sustainability, and shared success.


Our Core Beliefs

Beyond entertainment, Cayplex is committed to community growth through employment and philanthropy.

  • Entertainment: Creating an enjoyable break from reality for the average individual who seeks to disconnect and unwind in a world of interactive entertainment either alone or accompanied. Providing more on-island entertainment options for tour providers that can be used in tourism promotions where applicable, while not being a tourism-focused product.
  • Employment: A major part of Cayplex’s community message will be how it seeks to create sustainable and enjoyable employment for residents. We're looking to create up to 20 jobs on the opening of Phase 1 and much more as we expand into Phase 2 and additional markets.

  • Philanthropy: A core foundational value of ours is to be a major philanthropic organization by supporting our local community wherever we possibly can through our charitable division called “Cayplex Cares”. Being a helping hand and providing financial aid & resources to feeding programs, schools, youth groups, sporting teams, churches, and especially the Grand Bahama Children’s Home (a local orphanage) and other community organizations requiring such support.



Valuation

In the realm of early-stage startups, particularly those like Cayplex Entertainment with limited assets, establishing a valuation can be a nuanced endeavor. Our valuation is meticulously derived from trusted and industry-advised methodological financial calculations, specifically adhering to the Harvard Business Review’s valuation model tailored for the service industry.

We've consciously chosen a conservative pricing strategy for this round, not merely to align with industry benchmarks but to genuinely honor and appreciate our retail investor community. The Cayplex journey, while ambitious, is deeply rooted in a commitment to creating a meaningful and prosperous pathway for every investor. Your participation in our story is invaluable, and we are eager to navigate through the chapters of Cayplex’s evolution together with you.

Exit Strategy

The palpable excitement within the community for Cayplex Entertainment is not only evident but also forms a robust pipeline of eager customers, anxiously awaiting our innovative and nostalgic cinema experiences. This enthusiasm, coupled with our strategic and community-focused business model, is projected to revive the cherished cinema experience in Grand Bahama and herald a new epoch of luxurious, community-driven entertainment.

While we can't guarantee any future results, our long-term vision includes potential exit strategies. We project exploring options such as an IPO or acquisition by a major entertainment chain to secure a prosperous exit for our investors. The consideration of an IPO would come after we have established a strong regional and international presence with several Cayplex locations, ensuring we have a robust and diversified portfolio to present to the public markets.

Our team is dedicated to working tirelessly to maximize the potential return on investment for our investors. We embark on this journey with a commitment to strategic growth, community involvement, and a relentless pursuit to elevate Cayplex as a symbol of premium entertainment, all while maintaining a sustainable and profitable business model.
