## FAQ
1. **What will the funds raised be used for? Is there any particular reason funding is needed currently? How would you describe the taste of mead in context of other drinks?**
   - Hi Edward, Thank you for your question! The funds will be used to increase our manufacturing, marketing, and sales capabilities, enabling us to expand LIXIR into new markets.

From there, our goal is to raise an additional round wit...

## Q&A
- Q: I see you're only in the southern California area/market. What is the plan for national distribution? I also see the valuation is $5.46M. Is that based on the current sales in the current market?
  - A: Hi Eric, I apologize for the delayed response and appreciate your patience. We hit the market in April 2024, testing our product at select retailers in Southern California. The response has been phenomenal—we broke early sales records at Jimbo’s Naturally, validating our model. In 2025, we plan to replicate this success by expanding further into Southern California and select new markets, contingent on the amount we raise in this round. From there, our goal is to raise an additional round within the next 12–18 months at a higher valuation to support a national expansion. The current valuation was carefully built with the guidance of Jeff Church and is based on the following: Product Appeal: Consumers love the product. Many are intrigued by the idea of alcohol made from honey, and once they try it, they become loyal customers. Category Creation: LIXIR isn’t just a new product—we’re pioneering a new alcohol category with the potential to disrupt the market status quo. Market Potential: The hard honey and regenerative organic categories are untapped and experiencing rapid growth, offering significant upside. Early Traction: Breaking sales records at Jimbo’s Naturally and securing interest from major retailers demonstrate the demand and scalability of our product. Future Growth: We’re in discussions and have soft commitments from key retailers, positioning us for significant expansion in 2025. Sales Growth: While early-stage, our sales trajectory aligns with projections, supporting the valuation as a forward-looking metric. I appreciate your question and interest.

Our plan includes working with a national distributor, which will allow us to collaborate with large chain accounts that are eager to bring us on board. To achieve this, we’ll need to significantly scale up production and ensure we have the capital to support these new markets and accounts effectively. Our drinks are a modern take on mead, making them commercially palatable and unlike anything on the market. We occupy the space between hard seltzers and hard kombuchas, offering a light and refreshing beverage that customers can enjoy multiple times in one sitting. It’s what better-for-you consumers have been waiting for, and we’re excited to share it with more people.
