One unexpected part of this Wefunder raise has been reconnecting with people I haven’t talked to in years.

Former coworkers. Old Army friends. Customers from the early days. People who ordered one bag of coffee three years ago and somehow still follow along with what we’re doing.

I’ve had people message me from deployments, office jobs, airports, warehouses, kids’ baseball games, random places all over the country.

Some invested. Some shared the campaign. Some just sent a message saying they were proud of how far this thing has come.

And I’ll be honest, I don’t think I fully realized how many people were quietly paying attention.

When you run a small business, your world gets very small very quickly. You spend most days focused on inventory, production schedules, bills, shipping problems, equipment issues, payroll, emails, and trying to keep things moving forward.

You don’t really stop and look around much.

Then something like this happens and you realize this little coffee company somehow spread a lot farther than you thought it did.

That’s because of all of you.

Customers. Investors. Friends. Veterans. Families. Random people from the internet who decided they liked the brand and stuck around.

Every order. Every repost. Every recommendation. Every investment. It all stacked together over time.

And now here we are closing in on the final stretch of this raise.

For those who already reserved investments through Wefunder, make sure you complete the reconfirmation process before the raise officially closes. You should have received an email with instructions by now.

Thank you again for helping build this thing into something much bigger than I ever expected it to become.
