Become an REI Hot Seat Insider: ⁠https://submit.jotform.com/info_Admin_info831/rei-hotseat-insider-sign-up-form⁠ In E089, Andrew welcomes back Zac Willms, we’re discussing a topic we've been eager to share – an equity offering for our campground glamping site. This has been a year in the making, and we’re finally ready to bring in partners. We need to be clear and precise because this involves a Canadian Securities offering, so it's crucial to mention that this is for accredited investors only and isn’t a solicitation for the sale of securities but for informational purposes. We're working with an exempt market dealer who will handle the securities and provide necessary documents like the term sheet. We'll discuss projections and market expectations, but please remember that projections and statements made in this episode do not represent a guarantee. Please see disclaimer for more details: https://atlasone.ca/disclaimer Our glamping site, located in the lush, green Tobermory area, specifically Miller Lake, Ontario, is about 20 minutes from Tobermory. It's a unique camping experience with trailers and picturesque views, making it ideal for those looking for a memorable stay. We’re excited about the potential here and believe in the project deeply. For those unfamiliar, glamping combines the beauty of camping with the luxury of modern amenities – think glamorous camping with luxury mattresses, pillows, and no hassle of setting up tents. This investment opportunity offers a chance to be part of an innovative and growing market. We’re looking to expand significantly from our current 26 sites to the 70 permitted by bylaw. The funds raised will help us add new units and amenities like geodesic domes, pools, and more, enhancing the overall experience and extending stays. Our team has worked hard to build a reputation for quality and customer satisfaction, evident from our positive reviews on Airbnb and Google. The site has transformed from a party site to a serene getaway, attracting repeat visitors and strong word-of-mouth promotion. We’re committed to maintaining this standard and continually improving the site. For more details, visit our Instagram or website, grottogetaway.com, and if interested, reach out to us for a deeper conversation. We appreciate your interest and support in making this vision a reality.
