Can we see a copy of the income statement, balance sheet, etc? What are your profit margins? Will all profits be reinvested or will there be a dividend at a certain income level? Can we see the financials before 2019 since 2020 was a down year? Does this investment only includ...

Yes we can get you copies of our financials and our 10 year financial model. We do plan on paying dividends when the company is profitable. The speakeasy is legally our tasting room, so it is all one company (so yes the speakeasy is part of what you'd be investing in). Please give me a call at the distillery and we can discuss things further and get you the financial details. Stephen.

Will Golden Moon be releasing a share structure associated with this investment round ?

Yes we will. That is part of the Reg C paperwork that we're in the process of completing with the SEC for this round. Once the Reg C is filed with the SEC the capital structure will be visible on the site. Our pre-money valuation is also shown on our profile on WeFunder already. You're welcome to give me a call to discuss things further if you'd like as well. Stephen.

Are the investor perks still available?

Absolutely. Thanks for asking ... and thank you for your interest in Golden Moon Distillery.

Hi, and best wishes. A few questions: I see you have $2million in debt and lost $40k in each of the past 3 months ($100k revenue, $27k cogs, $110k other costs). When do you expect to be profitable/achieve an exit? I see a map showing export countries, but no data to support it...

Scott, Thank you for your questions. Perhaps a bit of additional background is in order here. We founded the distillery in 2008. At that time it was designed to be a small self-funded activity producing a limited amount of product. I was running another company that I also founded at that time, so this was a part-time “passion project”. We (Karen and I) self-funded the project for the first 10 years, until 2018. In 2010, Karen and I began thinking about exiting the other company, ultimately d...

Could you provide a breakdown by spirit of your current production, maximum capacity at your current facility and barrel inventory.

Thank you for your questions: 1) Our production this year was roughly: 2400 cases of our “Core Brands”. These include our Gun Fighter whiskies, our Golden Moon Single Malt whiskies and our Golden Moon Gin. 950 cases of our “Select Brands”. These include all Golden Moon liquors, liqueurs, brandies and absinthes. We plan to come close to doubling those numbers in 2022. I can share our detailed growth/financial plan with you if you’d like. 2) In our current configuration we have roughly a 100,00...

LEAD INVESTOR

Invested $10,000 this round + $10,000 previously

Hi, I am happy and honored to be the lead investor in the Golden Moon Distillery's WeFunder issuance. I have known Steve Gould since grad school, and have watched him build 2 successful business since we graduated. I am investing in this, his latest venture for a variety of reasons. First and foremost I believe Steve has the requisites knowledge and skills to build Golden Moon into one of the preeminent craft distillers in the world. He has demonstrated this multiple ways: By the awards he has won in multiple spirits competitions. By his recognition by a variety of distillers guilds but most importantly, by the international distribution network he has begun to develop. Another reason I am investing is the different approach he has taken to developing his product line. I emphasize line because rather than concentrating on a single product, he has developed a complete line of award winning product ranging from absinthe, gin, and whiskey to a variety of liquors. This strategy gives him the opportunity to get a product on the shelf and use that placement to leverage in other offerings. Another reason I am investing is I have seen Steve launch grow and succeed in business in the past. And while past performance is not a guarantee of future success. His proven track record, is another point in has favor toward continued success Lastly I'm am investing because I have tasted his product and found it delicious
