What Investors Say

LEAD INVESTOR
Invested $10,000 this round
I look at my investment in the Sepia Coffee Project as a "win-win-win" proposition. First of all, it is already a win for Sepia's customers who are getting a truly wonderful, premium, handmade product. The knowledge, dedication to quality and care that go into selecting beans, blending and roasting is possessed by very few and Martell is one of them. The Sepia Coffee Project will be a win for the community of Highland Park, MI where the company will be based. This city has waited so long to see the kind of revitalizing commercial investment that has so positively impacted neighboring cities. The growth plan of this company is not just a growth plan for a company, it is a commitment to bringing commerce, jobs and people back to a once thriving, historically black neighborhood. Finally, I believe, this company will deliver a win for investors like me. Why? Because I believe in the potential of this opportunity, I believe in the broader mission of the Sepia Coffee Project to make a difference and I believe in the capability of its Founders to realize this potential.
