Feel free to drop any comments / questions on our page after you've taken a read through the deck. Thanks for taking a look.- Brian \u0026amp; Quentin We once almost dropped a wheelbarrow of sugar off to our friends at Cutwater (because we don't need any), but were fearful of a lawsuit. You know it when that liquid hits your lips: \"something tastes artificial here\".The Best of the West!We were the first to can this classic Texas bar call called \"Ranch Water\". It is a trend that is catching fire nationwide and we are the #1 selling tequila-based Ranch Water in the country!Quality spirits and ingredients you can pronounce and buy at the grocery store: a delicious combination. Have you ever seen a clear grapefruit? A product that cuts no corners, and a business that is employee-owned \u0026amp; operated!We raised $60k from professors \u0026amp; classmates to start a healthy food truck on campus. The food truck did almost $1m in revenue its first year and the investors made a great return. We now can the drinks we used to share with our customers after our shifts. A highly motivated and experienced team - changing the ready-to-drink category one can at a time!Our industry investors help us navigate the murky waters of the alcohol category. Our ambassador investors help us get the word out about these delicious drinks.Canned cocktails and tequila are two hottest categories in spirits - sounds like a great combination!We have three groups of customers who buy Ranch Rider: distributors, retailers and consumers. Sales from the most important group (consumers) are measured by Nielsen. This is the difference between \"sell-in\" and \"sell-through\". A big part of why we are raising $ from Wefunder is to invest in sales \u0026amp; marketing. When we secure a big chain placement, we need to make sure it is selling through. The category has been flooded with new entrants, and the brands that perform best at retail will be the ones that stick around.This is what we mean when we say we are a top tequila cocktail in the country: our Ranch Water sells more per store than any canned tequila cocktail in the country!Excited to add thousands more from Wefunder to our community!Here's some great press we've received: https://www.foxnews.com/video/6277450100001https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/23/ranch-rider-spirits-canned-craft-cocktails-boomed-during-the-pandemic.htmlAnd if we hit Cutwater distribution - we will be at $100m in revenue! *Forward looking projections cannot be guaranteed.Drop your innovation ideas in the comments, we'd love to hear them! Some fun updates coming soon....Ranch Rider ❤️ WefunderThis is the response to the question to \"so how am I going to get my money back?\". If we execute the plan as an independent brand, a larger company could purchase the business at some point. Then we will all get paid!When you invest, help us by buying Riders \u0026amp; telling your friends - we could all make more moneyThanks for reading.

Through the Wefunder platform, we can also meet new fans who could fall in love with our product. As to the \"why now\" part of the question; Wefunder recently developed a special purpose vehicle structure that allows the investing entity to be just one line on our cap table. Previously, we wou..."},{"question":"Are you able to share company financials before we invest through this platform?","answer":"Yes sir - our financial review is complete, and once Wefunder files w/ the SEC that will appear on this page. Should be within the next week! Click \"Watch for Updates\" and that should keep you informed. Thanks Miller!"},{"question":"Love your product and very interested in investing...couple of questions. Before a brand acquisition takes place, will you be sharing any profits with investors? And, what can investors expect as a potential timeline for a brand acquisition to take place?","answer":"Micah - great questions. In terms of profit sharing, we will most likely invest profits back into growing the brand (investing in sales \u0026amp; marketing, developing new markets/product lines etc). For timeline, there are a lot of variables that would impact this, but we'd say likely at least another 3-4 years. We just hit our third anniversary as a brand and feel there's a lot we can accomplish as an independent business. As always, no returns are guaranteed, and by investing you are putting a..."},{"question":"Great idea, love the brand and product. Is this an ongoing capital raise from here forth, or is there a close date? Are there any pro rata rights for future rounds?","answer":"Thanks Andrew, much appreciated. As of now, we are planning on running this campaign through April. In terms of participation rights, that would be dependent on the SPV lead raising a fund and choosing to invest in the next round. Either way, we would likely reach out to the some of the folks who wrote larger checks within Wefunder for a direct investment. Thank you!"},{"question":"I really like your company, but I'm an investor based in Sweden. Are foreigners eligable to invest? Perhaps it's partly a question for Wefunder, but the links to the FAQ section seems to be broken.","answer":"Hey Frederik - we spoke w/ Wefunder and you should be good to go from Sweden.
