Question 1

If I invest $1500 and am at the "free year of coffee" investor perk level, what happens to my Baldwin's club membership?

Accepted Answer

Hey Daniel! The free year of coffee is a 12 month gift subscription, so technically you’d only receive 1 curated bag of coffee a month. You could choose to change the frequency of your current subscription however you’d like to.

Accepted Answer

Hey Michael! Right now, we're running at a marginal profit (single-digit percentage points) month-to-month. There's short-term revolving debt (credit cards) and a couple of equipment loans for roasting and packaging. 65% of our business is B2B, 35% is B2C. After we file our Form C, all of this information will be avaiable on WeFunder. We are currently focused on opening the West End location but are passively looking at opportunties in Southwest Atlanta.

Question 3

Are the beans sprayed with pesticides or is the coffee 100% organic?

Accepted Answer

Hey Carlos! Some of our coffees are certified organic. Their certifications typically depend on the country of origin, economic stability, and size of the producer we're working with. We plan on using funds to support coffee producers in their efforts to continue to elevate their coffee quality and sustainability practices.
