Hey everybody!
It's official, we are ending our Wefunder Campaign tomorrow on 4/21!
While the campaign has been an amazing way to grow our community, meet amazing investors, and get incredibly impactful reviews, feedback, and testimonials, we are excited to focus our efforts on scaling the company!
So far this year we've been off to the races, and doing our best to scale up our team, manufacturing capacity, and supply chain to meet the demand. When you go from $50K in one month to $350K in the next, it's a fun challenge!
One question we've been asked a lot recently from investors is how impactful tariffs could be to Seedsheet. Thankfully, from Day 1 we've been a Made In USA company! While it definitely did add challenges initially when we had to design and build our own production machines, the payoff in today's Trade War climate is huge. Not only is our manufacturing done domestically, but the majority of our raw materials (seeds, dirt, fabric) are also produced domestically, so we should be very well protected against any rising tariffs.
So what's next for Seedsheet? Scaling! As we've seen in the past few years since we've revamped our DTC marketing, we've achieved holistic >3X ROAS on our advertising efforts across Meta, Google, and TikTok. So now we want to mash the gas! Because we build our products ourselves, scaling not only means increasing our ad budget, but expanding our production and fulfillment teams to handle the demand. We're fortunate that the interest around healthy food is only increasing, and the gardening demand is continuing to grow ($136B US industry now!), so now (excuse the pun) it's time to fertilize!
What can I do? As an investor, or potential investor, the most helpful thing you can do before our Wefunder closes tomorrow (4/21), is to confirm your investment before the opportunity is over. Next, once the round closes, we will create an Investor Newsletter of all +1,400 investors to keep you informed on company updates, rely on you for initial feedback on new products, and continue to build our Seedsheet tribe! As always, we're excited to chat with investors and welcome any emails, introductions, ideas you might have!
We'll send out some more updates tomorrow as a final reminder! I hope you all enjoy a Happy Easter with your families! Cheers,
Cam MacKugler
