Hospitality Is Raising Boldly In 2025.

Online capital raising provides three regulatory pathways
tailored to different stages of growth that provide flexible
paths to funding your hospitality business.

Regulation CF

Raise up to $5M

Raise up to $5M annually from anyone. Perfect for the proof-of-concept stage, with a fast 3-4 week timeline and minimal disclosure requirements. Companies with both retail and VC backing command
50% higher valuations.

Early Stage

Regulation A

Raise up to $75M

Raise up to $75M with SEC qualification. Requires audited financials but offers public
market preparation. Monogram Technologies used this path to power their rise from startup
to publicly traded company.

Growth Stage

Regulation D

Raise unlimited capital

Unlimited raise amount for accredited investors only. Combines community engagement benefits with flexibility for larger tickets. Ideal when your community includes high-net-worth climate advocates.

Accredited Only

Why Retail Capital Works For Hospitality

Direct-to-investor capital raising offers specific
advantages that align perfectly with hospitality
companies' unique needs and challenges.

Mission Alignment:

Climate-conscious investors invest for impact as well as returns. They understand long
development timelines and are willing to support your vision through multiple stages.
Customer-investors have 3x higher lifetime value.

Speed to Capital:

75%

Launch a campaign in weeks, not months. Companies using modern capital raising platforms close rounds 75% faster than traditional fundraising timelines

Market Validation:

13%

A successful community raise proves market demand before institutional investors commit. 13% of equity crowdfunding now comes from institutional investors who see retail validation as de-risking.

Built-In Marketing:

AMP

Every investor becomes an advocate. Their networks amplify your message, creating organic growth in brand awareness and customer acquisition.

Built-In Marketing:

35%

Build a community that funds multiple rounds. Average 34.9% of successful Reg CF companies go on to raise follow-on rounds, often from the same investor base at progressively better terms.

Hospitality Trends

Experience Economy

From restaurants and bars to
event venues customers want
memorable, ‘instagrammable’
experiences and a sense of
exclusivity. Experiences matter
more than ever at both a local
and destination-based level.

Connection
Culture

Businesses that serve locally
sourced and manufactured
products in storefronts that act
as neighborhood hubs where
communities come together are proving to be innovative (yet familiar) recipes for success.

Wellness Thrives

New immersive wellness and
sports focus experiences —
from health retreats to business like Surf Lakes that build community around activity - people are investing in businesses that deliver revenue and rejuvenation.
