The world's waterfront hospitality is virtually endless and untapped. How will ARKHAUS continue to grow and innovate to fill into newer and larger opportunities? Read below to find out. Phase I (D2C Hospitality): The ARKHAUS Membership ClubIn Phase I, ARKHAUS is a direct-to-consumer offering, bringing to market a global network of 25-30 'floating social clubs' in 10 years. However, the company believes no more than 40-50 locations can exist worldwide, before the exclusivity of the concept begins to get watered down. The World's Waterfronts Are Untapped OpportunityWhen considering the world's waterfronts with hospitality offerings, 40-50 ARKHAUS locations represents far less than 1% of this area. Well over 99% of what is considered hospitality waterfront would remain untouched and a source of opportunity to scale into. Phase II (B2B Property Tech): Floating-Hospitality-As-A-ServiceThousands of waterfront hotels, bars, restaurants, and clubs are witnessing the land beneath their feet shift. These businesses are impinged by their property line to the left, right, and back...and water to their front. In addition, they're watching sea level rise eat away at that waterfront property, minimizing their footprint and what they can offer. The only way for these businesses to re-capture and expand their offering is to build onto that encroaching waterway, but doing so is a tremendous effort and often not feasible for a single business location.In establishing its own clubs, ARKHAUS will develop expert knowledge in ideation, design, permitting, staffing, and operations as well as unique access to specialized vessels and integrated financing.ARKHAUS will establish a one-stop-shop B2B service, empowering any waterfront hospitality company to expand to their waterfront in a seamless, efficient, and most importantly, a riskless method. Below are a few opportunities. Please note no substantive discussions have yet begun with any specific partners.LodgingRitz Carlton may seek to add 5-10 floating lodging units to each waterfront hotel, similar to those seen in the South Pacific.FestivalsUltra and Wonderfront can deploy floating performance stages or offer luxe VIP hospitality suites on yachts.DiningWaterfront restaurants can expand their footprint and offering onto water, generating much more revenue.Bars & NightlifeBars and beach clubs like Scorpios and Gitano can add extensions to their venues and offer differentiated experiences.De-Risking Drives Business and OpportunityUnlike physical real-estate, 'floating' hospitality is not permanent. Should any of these hospitality efforts not succeed, the vessels can simply be sold or shifted to another client or offering, making these projects highly riskless for the client. By de-risking these projects, clients will pursue larger and more creative efforts.In its second act, ARKHAUS will become the premier maritime solution provider to the waterfront hospitality industry, an even larger opportunity than its Phase I D2C club business.Investment Round Closing SoonARKHAUS is still accepting investments and/or upsized investments via WeFunder until closing mid-March.
