It is an under-the-radar, sustainable bottle that connects directly to breast pumps and can safely store 12-34 ounces of breast milk or formula for over 20 hours. It doubles as a baby bottle warmer and then converts to provide moms years of use as a regular thermos.","story":"Like\u0026nbsp;almost every mom I know, I found breastfeeding incredibly difficult for a million reasons.Travel away from home,\u0026nbsp;long work days,\u0026nbsp;or just getting out for yourself or errands is often overwhelming and unnecessarily challenging. As a breastfeeding mom, any outing that took more than a few hours required\u0026nbsp;big ol’ clunky coolers and\u0026nbsp;unreliable\u0026nbsp;ice packs.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;It was disappointing and frustrating to understand that moms were given nothing but outdated and inadequate options for keeping their breastmilk safe while on the go.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Like you,\u0026nbsp;I experienced:Stress over safe milk storage when away from homeMilk being dumped — countless hours, energy, effort, and liquid gold down\u0026nbsp;the drainHeaps of plastic waste and chemical freeze packsTravel security / TSA barriers to breastmilk transportationNothing but heavy \u0026amp; ugly\u0026nbsp;bags to drag around (hello back pain!),\u0026nbsp;and mountains of plastic to wash when I got home.Staring at the bottles of breastmilk lined up on my desk, I realized I needed something much, much better than a cooler limited to 20 ounces and only\u0026nbsp;4-8 hours.\u0026nbsp;I needed something that could last for my long commutes and travel,\u0026nbsp;was fast + simple to use, easy to clean, reliable,\u0026nbsp;and dare I say,\u0026nbsp;maybe even a bit…stylish...That’s when I\u0026nbsp;decided to make this breastmilk\u0026nbsp;chiller happen for all women — first responders, postal workers, soldiers, doctors, nurses, realtors, caterers, teachers, exclusive pumpers — all of them.Welcome to the world, Ceres Chill.Ceres [see-reez]\u0026nbsp;Chill\u0026nbsp;replaces the 1970s technology coolers that have been holding women back and weighing moms down for decades.Millions of moms face the same\u0026nbsp;problemsOnly 2 short years into this journey, we're\u0026nbsp;hitting single day sales of\u0026nbsp;$125K,\u0026nbsp;for Amazon Prime Day, July 2022.I launched this company in January 2020 during the COVID pandemic, which made it that much harder to succeed, but we were determined. Constant financial gains, fantastic reviews, less than 1% returns, perfected designs, and several patent-pending\u0026nbsp;products have helped us to grow 20-40% every single quarter. When we launched on Amazon in September 2022, we nearly doubled our sales.\u0026nbsp;Today we call more than 38,000\u0026nbsp;happy moms part of our extended family.Understanding why Ceres Chill continues to experience\u0026nbsp;explosive growthWith the pandemic looming large over all of us, many parents felt\u0026nbsp;an understandable pressure to continue breastfeeding. Sure, many of us were at home more and there was less demand to pump as often, but when we did need to travel away from our baby\u0026nbsp;or return to the office for a few days at a time, safe and clean breastmilk storage was more important than ever.It's no secret that today many moms are leading incredible lives as lawyers, teachers, first responders, actresses, doctors,\u0026nbsp;C-Suite executives, stay-at-home caregivers, exclusive pumpers,\u0026nbsp;administrative assistants, engineers, and so many others,\u0026nbsp;while also juggling the same packed parenting schedule that is truly\u0026nbsp;a full-time job in and of itself.\u0026nbsp; In fact, working\u0026nbsp;women with infants and\u0026nbsp;toddlers have increased two-fold just in the past two generations.\u0026nbsp; And this trend is not slowing down.To compound these trends, scientific knowledge is proving what we've known intuitively for\u0026nbsp;centuries: Breastmilk is gold.Yet, even though this information is widely known, many new parents are forced to give up pumping due to their hectic work-life schedules + the inferior pumping accessories that are currently on the market.Why is this such an exciting ride for you to take with us1) We've proven demand, again and again.We've been approached by hospitals, medical professional groups, and retailers about wholesale but with our massive D2C demand, we have not had enough inventory to move forward with those efforts to date. We are now at the point where we are ready to seek the right investors (moms and people who truly *get* it and know the struggle) to help us\u0026nbsp;expand to reach new moms across new channels.2) The market is ready.3) Our moms love us.4) We continue to lead the industry.5) Our financials are strong.\u0026nbsp;Forward-looking projections are not guaranteed.Forward-looking projections are not guaranteed.6) Our team is ready to sprint!As of July 2022, I left my successful\u0026nbsp;career as a partner at an international law firm and dedicated myself full-time to building on Ceres Chill's incredible success and innovation. The current Ceres Chill team is truly\u0026nbsp;amazing.\u0026nbsp; Following\u0026nbsp;this capital raise, we will be adding key talent\u0026nbsp;to keep up with the accelerating growth, international markets, and continued product development.Which leads us to ..._______________________________________________How your investment will be put to\u0026nbsp;work6.5% of funds raised will go towards the Wefunder intermediary fee.What does the future hold?\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Within the next 3-6 years, Ceres Chill will likely experience a significant shift in growth and financing.\u0026nbsp; This shift could involve\u0026nbsp;an acquisition\u0026nbsp;by\u0026nbsp;another company or another major funding round.\u0026nbsp; The\u0026nbsp;company offering to buy Ceres Chill\u0026nbsp;may be directly in our space (think:\u0026nbsp;another breastfeeding accessories company), or potentially in a tangential space (think: a larger to-go container company that would benefit from bringing on a whole new line of products).\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Forward looking projections are not guaranteed.How does an investor make money when investing in a private company like Ceres Chill?In the private market, your investment is not liquid.\u0026nbsp; This means\u0026nbsp;that your investment\u0026nbsp;is not cash that is available\u0026nbsp;any day that you chose. Your return on a startup investment may be realized after 3-7 years when the company has a ‘liquidation event’ → for example, if it goes public, there is another major round of investment or it gets purchased.When investing in the public market you ideally double your money after\u0026nbsp;10-20 years (example: $1,000 in publicly traded Acme Company stock becomes $2,000 worth of Acme Company\u0026nbsp;stock that you can sell for cash on the stock market).When investing in the private market there is risk and reward.\u0026nbsp; You *hope* to obtain 10 times your investment in 3-7 years. So an investment in a private company of $1,000 could be entirely lost if the company doesn't survive or it could become $10,000.\u0026nbsp;We are limiting this investment opportunity to only those individuals who know the company and its products well because we want the people closest to this company to benefit first and foremost.\u0026nbsp; We're inviting customers, friends, and family to invest in this priced round. You can read more about a priced round, preferred stock, and other investing information\u0026nbsp;here. But please don't be shy to ask us questions in the Q\u0026amp;A tab above, or directly via DM / email.Because of the risk of investing in a private company, you should only invest as much as you have the ability to comfortably lose.Moms are incredible. We deserve to live amazing lives — whatever that means for each of us\u0026nbsp;— without having to compromise our breastfeeding goals.With your investment in this growing and\u0026nbsp;successful brand, we will ensure real change for women and families across the world, while making money for each of\u0026nbsp;our families\u0026nbsp;along the way!We answered a ton of your questions here:\u0026nbsp;Ceres Chill financials 🏦Ceres Chill, Co. 12-31-2021 FS.pdfJoin us.Dads get the hype too!

We’re constantly looking to expand and are committed to reaching international markets - that’s actually one of our goals for this investment round! There are so many other countries (Australia, UK, Canada) that have incredible breastfeeding and maternal support rates. We know firsthand that there’s a demand for the Chiller there. We hear from those moms every day! Expanding in those countries is hugely important to me and I think it would lead to massive growth for the company. We’re currently working to expand our Amazon distribution because that is the most accessible first step. Additionally, we have new retailers from around the world reach out to us with the hope of carrying our products. As far as why it’s so important for us to be in hospitals - that continues to be the best way to reach moms when they need us most. Hospital stays, particularly for NICU families, are often lengthy and stressful. Additionally, the lactation practices and hospital shops are often curated and vetted by medical professionals in the obstetrics/lactation/pediatric fields. Being in these spaces builds on the brand’s credibility and significantly expands our reach to customers. We have worked with some incredible hospitals, lactation clinics and birth centers and we’ve seen these products shared in classes, online tutorials and more.","author_name":"Lisa Myers","votes":0,"created_at":"2022-10-11T17:22:42Z"}]},{"id":221250,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:221250","question":"How can I see the progress (if any) from my investment?","author_name":"Alanna Iacovetti","votes":1,"created_at":"2022-10-06T17:48:46Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/ceres.chill#question-221250","answers":[{"id":221251,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:221251","answer":"Once you are logged in to your Wefunder account, you will be able to track the progress of all of your investments on your portfolio page!

The short answer is that you are definitely placing a lot of trust in me and you are putting the money you invest at risk. If I somehow blow through all of the money and the value of the company does not increase, we do not sell for a higher valuation than $10 million and there is no future round of funding/investment like going public, you will lose your money. However, you will not have any additional liability or penalties. You are a shareholder but you do not have any obligations to creditors or other investors, so no downside in that respect. It is similar to owning stock like you would purchase on the public stock market but just with significantly more risk because we are not an established company that has met all of the benchmarks to be publicly traded.

More options for moms is always better and the two products you are comparing offer moms different options for sure. In case you do not have both our Chiller or the cooling cups or other moms are curious, I want to give you a quick overview here. Our Chiller gives parents 12-34 ounces of breastmilk or formula storage for over 20 hours, doesn’t require any cords or external battery packs, can connect directly to pump parts AND convert to a baby bottle or bottle warmer when needed. It’s designed to last a lifetime and become an epic thermos after this journey is over, so it won’t end up in a landfill like many other products in this industry. Our intellectual property across our product offerings has been very carefully protected so we have mitigated the risk of actual knockoffs on the Chiller, Shield Maidens, Milkstache, Sip Top, etc. Our products also come with a lifetime warranty. Based on the research that we’ve done, the Chiller offers great cost savings over time. Plus - there’s no prep required! We are committed to growing with the market and listening to our customers to see what improvements we can make for them, and I think that’s what has fueled our epic growth rate.","author_name":"Lisa Myers","votes":2,"created_at":"2022-10-11T17:22:13Z"}]},{"id":221816,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:221816","question":"Hi there, congrats on your product and your success so far!

Some of this information can be found on our overview and more will be available in the coming days once the independent review of our financials is complete. Briefly, our valuation of $10 million is based on our revenue to date, our projected revenue based on the continued steep sales growth, our conservative projections of market share, the value of our current inventory and manufacturing property, and our intellectual property! Our financials will be presented here for investors’ review soon, and everyone will be notified when they’re up! Please do not invest unless you feel 100% comfortable with the company valuation and risks associated with this type of investment.","author_name":"Lisa Myers","votes":0,"created_at":"2022-10-11T17:23:11Z"}]},{"id":221459,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:221459","question":"As a father of a nursing wife to two babies this caught our attention both from an investment and a consumer point of view. Great work on the presentation, video, and strategic planning. My question is: to broaden your horizons, in case the hospital path falls through, have you also talked to retailers (aside from amazon), like a target, proctor and gamble, johnson and johnson, cvs/walgreens, lululemon or even dare I say yeti (amongst other companies/industries)? Bigger picture in the grand scheme of things, these big guys can either open distribution channels or be the acquirer you mention 3-7 years from now. Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much Luke! This means so much to me. You and your wife are rockstars and these are terrific questions. We continue to consider and engage in conversations with major retailers on a regular basis, but in order to be in these stores, we would need to have significant inventory to send to them. We are looking to actually stay in stock for our customers for at least two months first! It has been hard to keep up with demand but we are on track to make these goals a reality soon. Thank you so much for your supportive words and thinking this through with us. There is really nothing like this feeling of being in the trenches and making big things happen with the support, perspective and help from families like yours.","author_name":"Lisa Myers","votes":1,"created_at":"2022-10-11T17:23:24Z"}]},{"id":221249,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:221249","question":"What type of entity is it?

You and all other investors will be wrapped up into an investment vehicle called an SPV. That SPV will then invest directly into Ceres Chill! In short, an SPV allows a company to have 1 single line on our cap table, versus hundreds of lines for every investor in our campaign. This is industry standard practice for every angel group across the country. Upon a liquidation event (sale of company, IPO, etc.) preferred shares get paid out before common shares, which make them the expected offering for any serious investor. All of our financial information will be available once our outside Review of our financials is complete - this is expected to be due by the end of the month! Since our campaign will only be open until October 20th, you can reserve your investment now, and will always be able to back out of the reservation when the financials arrive!","author_name":"Lisa Myers","votes":0,"created_at":"2022-10-06T17:51:17Z"}]},{"id":221248,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:221248","question":"After reading the wefunder FAQ it says that if the fundraising is successful proceeds will go to Ceres Chill but if not, they’ll be refunded.
