Sometimes I feel like Odysseus on his 20 year Odyssey, full of hardships and challenges, but all part of the hero’s journey.
I try to be Stoic and take everything in stride.
So, needless to say it’s extremely difficult to write this, but I feel the need to for my mental health.
While Trident Coffee Roasters is growing and making a difference in our community, raising capital has been like fighting a giant cyclops (for those that get the Odyssey reference).
We are distributed nationwide, have our third taproom opening in Pacific Beach next week, and have a new product line set to explode for DTC.
In the last several months, I have spoken to more investors than I can count, and been ignored by just as many.
If you or anyone you know is serious about investing, I would love to meet them. We are over half way through our raise and ready to wrap it up to get back to crafting America’s Finest Cold Brew.
High level achievements for Trident Coffee Roasters:
- Cold Brew Category growing at 26% CAGR
- Top 5 Cold Brew at Sprouts
- 40% Revenue Growth for our taprooms (3rd location opening in March 2024)
- We will be profitable in 2024
- Highest rated coffee shops in San Diego
- Over $5M of revenue generated since 2020
- Multiple successful entrepreneurs and professional athletes on our cap table
Send me a note if you are ready to ride this wave and help us make the best cold brew coffee brand out there.
