Tagline: Award winning rose crafted in the south of France
Elevator pitch: Maison Marcel is a unique rosé masterfully created in Provence. It was born from an old family recipe concocted by my grandfather to charm my grandmother. Living in the US, I realized there was an untapped niche in the rose category and saw an amazingopportunity. Marcel is the only off-dry rose made in Provence on the market. It. Year 1 was beyond all our expectations as we sold out of our 30,000 bottles and had to reorder. We are now very excited to bring Maison Marcel across the US

FAQ:
- Q: Why a SAFE agreement and not straight equity? SAFE's have very little assurances to the investor that an equity conversion will actually take place.
  A: Hi Barnaby, we already went through a straight equity deal at the initial funding phase. We are now seeing important growth and think it's better for everyone to delay the valuation of the company. That being said, I can assure you that the conversion will take place as I am fully dedicated. I have never let a project down in my life and it's not about to happen anytime soon!
- Q: Congrats on your successful launch and inspiring story; as someone who just returned from the South of France, I'm excited to try your product. From the information you've given, it seems your product launch coincided with the peak of rosé season (especially in NYC) - summer. ...
  A: Hi Austin, thank you for your interest in Maison Marcel! This is one of my favorite questions :) You are absolutely right rosé tends to be seasonal therefore harder to sell during the winter months (just as red wine is harder to sell during summer btw). There are 4 main ways we will generate revenue outside of summer: 1. Launch of a Sparkling rosé for this coming OND (October, November, December). Another rose you might say, yes but sparkling equals bubbles which equals holidays. Not only sal...
- Q: As a champagne lover besides a petit rose what other types of Marcel is in the future lineup?Also do you have brand ambassadors?
  A: Hi Alexzy, thanks for your question. Between now and next summer we will release a sparkling Marcel rose in October, and Petit Marcel, which will actually be slightly bubbly. We are considering a red and/or a white for the end of 2018. Currently, we do not have any brand ambassadors.
- Q: Hi Albert, as a european investor I have to ask if there are any moves planned in the big markets overseas excluding France? And how do you deal with the newest eur/usd difficulties? Thanks for answering, good luck and all the best from overseas
  A: Hi Chris, Thanks for the great questions. Very bullish on the UK market and launching next summer! We are in talks with 2 large distributors, and also in negotiation to have a celebrity endorse the brand there. Luckily, we found a brand manager whose a real hustler and who is very, very passionate about the brand. He's looking to partner with us in the long term and agreed to be paid on commission only. I already spoke with distributors in HK but I would love to take a closer look into Asia i...
- Q: When do you expect to send out your next update?
  A: Hi Craig, I'm actually working on it now :)
