Good morning. Most investors never see deals like this until they're already oversubscribed.
Today's opportunity: A family-owned premium cutlery brand doing $17M revenue, 43% CAGR, 40% gross margins, and zero outside capital. They've grown from #27 to the top 10 in their category in 3 years. They're in 10,000+ retail doors (Costco, Williams Sonoma, Crate & Barrel). They're raising $2M for the first time.
This is the type of deal institutional investors get a first look at. Premium members get it today.
Sunday, our membership goes up to $100
