Welcome to Imperia Caviar
Imperia Caviar is on a mission to introduce new audiences in the US and abroad to high-quality sustainably sourced Caviar at a drastically reduced price point. We’re leveraging the latest performance digital marketing strategies, a direct-to-consumer business model, and a scalable vertically integrated supply chain to offer premium-quality caviar at prices 4x lower than most industry incumbents. Our goal is to accelerate the growth of Caviar consumption in the massive US marketplace by increasing consumer access and reducing cost while maintaining the highest quality standards.
Since launching our brand in 2018 Imperia Caviar has generated incredible traction with over $12 million in revenue and consistent year-over-year growth. Using data-driven digital marketing strategies, we have attracted over 23,000 active users who purchased over 7.5 tons of caviar in 2021.
In 2022 Imperia Caviar is planning on extending our scalable model to other fast-growing gourmet food segments. Expansion is already underway with the addition of A5 Kagoshima Wagyu beef and soon-to-be-launched truffle and olive oil offerings. By leveraging our proven model that increases access and drives down costs, Imperia Caviar is poised to disrupt the $161 billion global specialty foods market.
The problem
We believe the lack of access and historically high prices have stifled demand for caviar in the US.
Despite an increase in global demand and the US consumers' growing preference for gourmet and high-quality foods, caviar has failed to gain significant traction in the US. We believe lack of access and high prices have until now suppressed US caviar market growth.
Caviar is celebrated in culinary traditions around the world for its rich flavor and delicate texture. In addition, caviar is highly nutritious containing omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and selenium, among other vitamins and minerals. We believe the average US consumer has little to no direct experience with caviar and perceive it as an ultra-luxury food reserved for the wealthy, or an obscure Russian delicacy.
We believe our early traction demonstrates a significant market opportunity with several demographic and behavioral market segments including health conscience and epicurean consumers.
The solution
Imperia Caviar is unlocking the US caviar market with a unique business model that increases access to high-quality, low cost caviar.
In our opinion, the traditional caviar business model which includes brokers, wholesalers, transportation companies, and retailers creates prohibitively high prices and reduces consumer access to specialty food brick-and-mortar retailers. Imperia Caviar’s direct-to-consumer sales channel, powered by effective data-driven digital marketing, and a vertical business model that connects consumers directly to sustainably sourced high-quality caviar creates a new paradigm in this outmoded industry. It’s simple - by removing the steps between suppliers and consumers we are able to offer higher quality caviar at lower prices.
The innovation doesn’t stop with our business model. Imperia utilizes innovative packaging and shipping solutions that arrive quickly to consumers' homes, restaurants, and food retailers while maintaining our caviar at the ideal temperature. In addition, Imperia has leveraged consumer engagement data to create a suite of distinct brands to target key market segments like sushi lovers, keto and paleo diet, and price conscious consumers.
And we’re just getting started!
Imperia Caviar has launched the Caviar Club, our subscription model sales channel that evokes the familiar and successful ‘Wine Club’ model.
The market
The market is growing at 9% annually
Analysts have predicted that the caviar market will continue to grow at an CAGR of over 9%, with some expecting it to reach as high as $1.64B by 2025.
We believe Imperia Caviar is poised to capitalize on this rapid growth by building brand awareness and absorbing a significant share of this growing market. By establishing our brand at a lower price point Imperia will have the inside track as the caviar market expands and prices industry-wide experience downward pressure.

Using the latest digital advertising practices we’ve created a process to scale our audience and revenue growth.

If Solomon owns several caviar import companies, how can we trust that he will focus on this one company. I don't think we can. I Googled the company address. It appears to be a kiosk. There are too many red flags for me.

Where can we back out of our commitment? We rushed and committed because we wanted to be part of the caviar offering that was going to close. Now it appears it will never close. Please advise.

I like that the company is adding more brands and becoming a specialty food company. I wanted to see more about the strategy to attract caterers and other food businesses....as those partners would dramatically increase volume and repeat business.

It sounds great in theory! My question is how do you come up with that valuation when you’re operating at a massive loss and all the debt you’ve accumulated?

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.
