The Problem & Our solution


Eliminating Harmful Chemicals from Children's Products


The use of chemicals such as phthalates, parabens, formaldehyde, toxic glues and lacquers, rayon, BPA, and benzyl acetate has become widespread in baby products (Source). These chemicals have been linked to asthma, obesity, learning disabilities, autism, and diabetes in infants (Source | Source | Source). 



Our adherence to certified manufacturing processes takes the worry out of buying baby products and gifts for your loved ones. We manufacture all of our clothes and products with quality and sustainable materials to be G.O.T.S.- certified organic. Our range of products are stylish, contemporary, and adorable, featuring whimsical design choices and heirloom-quality construction. We offer a variety of products, such as soft, cuddly clothes, handmade toys, and our new chemical-free play mats and rockers.

Delia as CEO for nine years. Revenue of $3.8 mm in 2021. Doesn’t seem like much to show for nine years of effort. I’m sure there have been fits and starts. Revenue down in 2022 due to supply chain. Help us understand how the business is being run differently than the past nine years and how that may lead to sizable growth to justify a $10mm valuation. Also, how is the strategy for future growth weighted to digital vs retail? Thank you.

(1) We're 10 months into 2022. How are sales tracking YOY compared to 2021? (2) How seasonal is your business? What % of sales happen in 4th quarter? (3) What is the planned exit strategy if there is one? (4) Can you explain your marketing strategy? Do you work with creator/influencers on social media platforms? (5) You mention that only 24% of your customers purchase again. This strikes me as low...why am I wrong?

FAQS
Crowdfunding

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
