When award-winning product developer and serial entrepreneur, Garrett Green entered the spirits market in 2012, he knew he wasn't going to be able to beat the giant brands at their own game. So, for three years he invested to learn the industry, refine his product, and develop an innovative business model designed to break through their barriers... Today, you can become a Founding member that launches that business model to capitalize on the rare opportunity of building a globally recognized, luxury-lifestyle vodka brand, through ONE ROQ Vodka Club.
O u r M i s s i o n
We love making a superior spirit, but our true passion is sharing the spirited life. For this, ONE ROQ invites you to Escape The Ordinary, by Owning Your Spirit.
T h e V e r y B e g i n n i n g
In the mid 2000s, Garrett became inspired by the success of French luxury vodka brand Grey Goose Vodka after selling to Bacardi Ltd. for $2 billion a few years earlier - but wondered why the market didn't have an iconic American-luxury brand equivalent. Using his entrepreneurial instinct, he saw this as a once in a lifetime opportunity to enter in the $70+-billion-a-year distilled spirits market.
Garrett commenced by scouring US farms and distillers in search for the perfect recipe, eventually discovering a distinguished blend of artisanal mountain water from the Colorado Rockies, and hand-picked sweet corn from the American mid-west. He then began his meticulous process of design, developing the vessel and choosing the name.
T h e N a m e
Garrett believes that success requires immense physical and emotional strength in order to overcome the constant challenges of life. With this, the idea of being reliant upon the self to consistently find strength, led to the notion of "a rock" -- and "ONE ROQ" was born.
V a l i d a t i o n
With a finished product, Garrett launched ONE ROQ in 2012, and within 120 days of its introduction, it won the first-place gold medal for taste and design in the 2012 International SIP Awards In San Francisco - the world's largest, consumer-judged tasting competition - validating ONE ROQ's superior quality, taste and diverse consumer appeal.
I n d u s t r y B a r r i e r s
Over the course of three years, ONE ROQ invested the foundational capital to refine its packaging, build a trusted distribution network, and gain first-hand, exposure to several industry barriers that routinely blind-side new brands. From this experience, Garrett concluded that to be successful in the industry, a brand cannot stand on award-winning credentials alone. The industry's "3-Tier System," "Pay-to-Play" culture, and exhaustive use of lifestyle marketing schemes deployed by larger brands were key barriers to be surmounted with marketing strategy of an alternative realm.
T h e P r o b l e m W e ' r e U n v e i l i n g
"Lifestyle Marketing:" is the common practice of large industry companies placing their brands inside the images of successful or attractive lifestyles. This method is used in an attempt to have us believe that if we buy those brands, we in turn acquire those lifestyles - even "success" in society. ONE ROQ knows this is deceptive, and that the real lifestyles are in reality enjoyed by the owners of brands.
T h e S o l u t i o n
So, in 2016, ONE ROQ abandoned the traditional industry marketing mold, transformed its brand philosophy and redeveloped its business model with ONE ROQ Vodka Club - an industry-first, experiential platform redefining the lifestyle spirit experience through the luxury of brand ownership, and the genuine lifestyle Privileges that come with it.
All images are created and owned by the Company.
C u r r e n t S t a g e
We are currently seeking up to $1.07M to commence the legal, marketing and inventory production requirements to launch the ONE ROQ Club platform.
T h e F o u n d a t i o n I s R e a d y
We've invested heavily to develop an award-winning product, establish deep expertise in the market, and innovate the strategy to achieve material growth to position the company for future success. (Refer to our Projections and Historical Exits diagram below.)

A c c o m p l i s h m e n t s T o D a t e
From 2012 to 2015, ONE ROQ Spirits invested nearly $1M in comprehensive research and development. Through this initial investment, we were able to develop a beautiful and award-winning product, build a stable operating infrastructure, establish a tremendous understanding of the industry, and become the beneficiary of several accolades from renowned international organizations verifying the outstanding quality, reputation and vision of our brand. Some of these organizations include: Robb Report Magazine, the International SIP Awards, Bentley Motors, Elite Traveler Magazine, Black Book Magazine, BIN Magazine, and others.
However, to date, our most important accomplishment was our ability to apply the early investment of the company as an opportunity to improve our knowledge and overall marketing strategy within the industry. Candidly, we have endured numerous industry lessons. Lessons which routinely defeat the seemingly most promising of beverage brands. Through this process, it was able identify and develop a highly differentiated cultural approach presenting the company, with the rare opportunity of becoming a breakthrough brand within the coveted industry category of premium vodka.

Key Differentiators
- A first of its kind gluten-, sulfite-, and sodium-free recipe serving the increasing health and allergy conscious consumer.
- Filtered and distilled using rare copper pot AND glass column distillation. Because, when you start honest ingredients, once is enough.
- Internationally award winning - for taste and design - from largest consumer judged competition in the world.
- Precise brand positioning targeting the yet-to-be-established 'Luxury-American' vodka category
- $1M invested into industry experience and foundational assets (recipe, brand, packaging, distribution infrastructure, strategic partnerships and differentiated marketing strategy). We are an informed and highly experienced startup.
- Innovative "Owners Club" (in development ) will allow the brand to distinguish itself from every major brand by being the only lifestyle spirit owned and guided by the people.
- Innovative Cultural Strategy: ONE ROQ believes in the power of its ETHOS. Creating what we believe to be the first people-owned luxury spirit will allow the company to start a powerful dialog with the consumer and the media regarding historical privileges of the wealthy, consumer equality and the profoundly important economic and cultural transformation benefiting aspirational and educated consumers.
- Direct -to-Consumer Communication: Traditionally, distilled spirits companies believe they must work with wholesalers to communicate their brand's unique value propositions to the end users. However, the use of the wholesaler under traditional practices brings significant communication (and cost) challenges to new brands, as the model promotes three degrees of separation between producers and their end users (i.e., supplier --> wholesaler -->retailer--> end-user), as well as a 'diffusion of responsibility' on behalf of wholesalers and retailers who sell hundreds, if not thousands of other brands. So, we asked the logical question: How can we truly rely upon a wholesaler to accurately and passionately communicate the unique selling features of our brand to retailers, who then would turn around and accurately represent that same messaging to consumers? (The answer: you can't.) So, instead, we deploy direct-to-consumer methods using digital media marketing and face-to-face promotions via tastings and events to reach and communicate with our end users and acquire them through the ONE ROQ Club offering. Through this approach, ONE ROQ can control its destiny. (Note: ONE ROQ is required to sell through a federally regulated supply chain, known as the three-tier system, and lawfully uses this system to carry out the retail availability and home delivery of its product.
C r e a t i v e E x c e l l e n c e
ONE ROQ will launch print, video and ground promotional assets bearing the "Escape The Ordinary," "Own Your Spirit," and "Members-Only" slogan and taglines driving focus to our company's ETHOS.
B r a n d P o s i t i o n i n g
ONE ROQ will acquire the luxury and aspirational groups from the established and growing market of American vodka consumers by positioning itself as the luxury-American option.
L a u n c h P l a n
Key distributor and retailer partners have been established in the State of New York, Florida and California and are ready to begin fulfilling orders for the 1st phase of our launch.
I n i t i a l P r o d u c t L i n e
ONE ROQ will initially focus with its line of award-winning luxury vodkas. Additional product introductions, in and outside of vodka, will be considered based on the interest and demand of our members.
I n t l . A w a r d - W i n n i n g
C r e d e n t i a l s
Presently, we believe ONE ROQ is the first-of-kind, gluten, sulfite and sodium free recipe targeting the growing health and allergy conscious consumer.
As a people-owned spirit, we are positioning ourselves within the growing shared and decentralized economies.

T h e M a r k e t
The $74 Billion global beverage alcohol market is undergoing two macro trends: enormous industry consolidation into five international majors and an explosion of small, premium craft brands driven by skilled marketing and consumer demand. Vodka accounts for approximately 32% of the distilled spirits market, with the category growing at just under 6% per annum and flavored vodka growing at just under 8% per annum. The alcohol beverage market is driven by an increasing shift away from beer and wine towards spirits and in particular premium spirit brands as part of an overall movement towards “high-end” (aspirational) consumption. This macro industry trend has led to the creation of numerous start-up “craft” brands over the last ten years seeking to establish themselves as credible niche players to position themselves as acquisition targets for major industry giants. Highly profitable acquisition opportunities have resulted from industry majors focusing their marketing and distribution prowess to sell larger volumes of portfolio brands, rather than harness resources to internally develop. This market environment has led to on-going demand by these majors to acquire successful niche brands with scalable marketing strategies. Acquisition multiples ranging from 8x to 30x sales with acquisition candidacy triggered at the 30-100kcases ($10M) per annum in gross sales can be referenced in the “Historical Acquisitions” exhibit and diagram.
Significant Market Stats
- Vodka maintains a dominant market share over all distilled spirit categories with a 10+ year track record of continuous YOY growth - it is the preferred spirit of consumers for ease of drinking, mixability, and price - (Source: Discus.org)
- The total number of vodka consumers in the US is approximately 51M adults - (Source: IWSR 2018)
- 40M people on Facebook (alone) have a confirmed interest in vodka, and about three times that number in alcohol in general - (Source: Facebook.com)
- We believe the US alcoholic beverage industry sustains itself in both strong and weak economies.
- We believe, until now, owning your own luxury spirits brand was a privilege only accessible to the wealthy.
ONE ROQ is changing this.
The Historical Industry Acquisition trend illustrates that ONE ROQ needs to establish 30-50,000 cases to enter salable territory.
- Common denominator of break-through brands: 30,000 cases per year
- Ave. Acquisition Multiples: 8-30x CASE sales
- Ave. Years in operation at sale date: 3.5-4 years
- Ave. Topline Sales: $10-20 million
ONE ROQ will aim to generate 30,000 cases in sales within 2.5 years, and case sales of 50,000-100,000 cases by years 3.5-4.

ONE ROQ is a hand-crafted vodka of unparalleled quality and taste - developed with over have a decade of meticulous ingredient sourcing and disciplined recipe tasting. Our first place gold medal in the largest consumer tasting competition in the world is a testament to this claim. What makes us this good? Some say it is a secret recipe made from two of the purest and most iconic ingredients in the country: Mid-Western, American Corn and artisan Colorado Rocky mountain water. Others say it is because it may be first and only gluten, sulfite and sodium free vodkas in the world. But if you asked us, its our unwavering belief that an authentic lifestyle spirit should offer authentic lifestyle reward.
Is ONE ROQ better than Titos Vodka?
ONE ROQ and Titos have a lot in common. We both are made from corn. We both have won first place gold medals in large competitions. We both promote our American-made values. We both come from small beginnings. And we both represent an underlying resistance to foreign-owned brands. However, ONE ROQ and Titos differ in that we invite our drinkers to become more intimately connected with our spirit; to own our brand; to guide its direction; and benefit beyond the glass.

The two important laws governing our operation include securities law called Regulation Crowdfunding (this is how we are able to accept money in exchange for equity in our company); and also, a Federal and State Alcohol Law known as the Three-Tier System, which governs the flow of ours goods through the supply chain.
The Three Tier System is a federally regulated supply chain requiring that all alcoholic producers sell their products to a licensed wholesaler, who in turn must sell to a licensed retailer, who in turn are able to sell to you. Because it could jeopardize our operations, it is important we state that ONE ROQ does not sell its products direct to its members, as this is would be in violation of the Three Tier System. In lieu, the company partners with industry approved, online portals that work with your local retailers to deliver our products to you. Our partner is 1-877-Spirits, a trusted online delivery service of alcoholic beverage for over 30 years - otherwise known as our Online Concierge.

Recent Investors: Reminder To Reconfirm
15 days ago
Recent Investors: What Does It Mean To "Reconfirm An Investment?"
If you are a new or recent investor joining ONE ROQ's Offering, you may have recently been sent an e-mail asking you to reconfirm your investment. Let us explain what this is and why your getting it.
From time to time ONE ROQ submits " Dispersal Requests" to StartEngine which allows us to access cleared funds that have been invested by investors. However, if we submit one of these requests before your investment is fully processed by StartEngine, the SEC requires StartEngine to essentially void your investment and then have you reinvest (i.e., "reconfirm").
So, for those of you who recently invested, but had their investment canceled due to the timing of our recent Dispersal Request, we encourage you to try again at your convenience.
Thank you in advance for your support and understanding, and we look forward to officially having you with us on our journey.
Cheers,
J. Garrett Green

Campaign Extensions
25 days ago
Campaign Extensions
As part of Company strategy, we recently chose to extend our offering to allow us to continue accepting Investment from Members, and continue to grow the Club.
Note, when these extensions are filed, investors whose recent investments have not yet been captured by StartEngine, may be asked to reconfirm their investments. (Be on the look out for this notification if you have recently invested.)
From time to time, investors have asked how ONE ROQ extending or renewing its Offering affects investors and their investments. We wanted to take a moment to address some commonly asked questions in the following Q&A:
Am I getting diluted every time ONE ROQ renews its offering clock?
No, investors do not become diluted from campaign extensions. Extending the campaign simply allows us to continue to accept investment until the full allotment of our Offering is purchased.
Understanding Stock Dilution
Stock (or Equity) dilution only occurs when a Company creates more stock that it originally issues as part of its business plan. ONE ROQ, for example, has created 55,000,000 shares of stock as part of its 3-4.5 year business plan. In today's current offering through Start Engine, ONE ROQ is selling 10% of these total shares through its live Initial Direct Public Offering. For investors to become diluted would require the Company to sell all the shares in its current offering, plus all of the remaining shares that equal the Company's total 55,000,000 shares, and then create and issue additional shares on top of that.
The Company is confident it will not be issuing more than its original 55,000,000 shares before it achieves its aims to sell or IPO the Company with our initial investors, so investors should rest assured
Is extending the Offering preventing the stock price to rise?
No, in effect, ONE ROQ enabling itself to continue to accept investment through renewing its offering is actually allowing the Company to drive a higher potential, post-offering stock price. (Post Money Valuation = Pre-Money Valuation + Total Investment.)
Why is ONE ROQ renewing its Offering instead of letting it close?
So that it can continue to accept investment, and raise the required dollar amount to effectively execute on its business plan and time table.
Does renewing the offering affect the timing of my perks or rewards as an investor?
It does not. ONE ROQ is pleased to announce that Members will soon be able to create their official ORVC Club accounts, access additional Club features, and alas, claim their perks to start 'ROQ-ing' their gear!

Important Business Updates
Distribution Model
Last week, we announced a significant material accomplishment in connection with our plan to enter and expand the coveted US beverage alcohol market with ONE ROQ Vodka Club. This announcement was a critical distribution agreement entered into with MHW, LTD, a National importer and wholesaler of beverage alcohol that will provide us passage into the retail markets of California, Florida and New York - as well as additional states anticipated to be announced by the end of the year. Our agreement with MHW for these highly valuable markets cannot go understated, and here is why:
In recent years there has been unprecedented effort by the top US distributors to consolidate the industry's liquor supply into less than 5 major distributors. These distributors include: Southern Wine & Spirits and Glazers (now SouthernGlazer); Republic National Distributing Company and Break-Thru Beverage; Youngs Market and Wirtz Beverage, and Winebow Group). Together, they work exclusively with the largest spirits companies (Diageo, Pernod Ricard, Moet Hennessy Group, Brown-Forman, Bacardi, Suntori Beam) who together, control nearly 90% of the market. As such, these distributors have one objective and one objective only: make big brands of their suppliers even bigger, and do so, by keeping "new kids off the block" - regardless of their novelty or merit. We call these top five distributors: "The Mob."
This reality is one of the key lessons ONE ROQ learned from its initial investment in the market. It is also the inspiration for the creation of our novel business model, putting ownership - and control - in the hands of its Members.
By working with MHW to bring inventories into state by state warehouses, and our Members to satisfy their requests for home and retail enjoyment, we will (and are) successfully circumventing the need to rely on major wholesalers, who otherwise, cannot be trusted in our initial commercialization stages. We will instead, control the destiny of our own market until we have established the appropriate traction, clout, and power. We look forward to begin demonstrating this innovative approach when we enter our initial retail markets early this summer!!!
The Club, Privileges & Perks
As most of you know, the objective of ONE ROQ’s offering is to allow us to erect ONE ROQ Vodka Club, our experiential lifestyle platform offering the unique experience of Ownership in a promising luxury spirits brand. This Club has been designed to create an even higher degree of differentiation for our already award-winning spirit, and we are pleased to confirm our Club is the first and only one of its kind within the market – and this fact makes ONE ROQ a spirit of unique and growing importance.
Encompassing the Club is a series of Privileges designed exclusively for our Members. Some of which are live, and some of which are still developing thanks to our ongoing successful raise. For Member’s awareness, these Privileges and their statuses include the following:
- Equity Ownership in our Brand and Company - LIVE
- Future Dividends – 12 Months or less
- A Vote in Company decision making - 2 Months or less
- VIP Access to Company produced and sponsored events - 4 Weeks or Less
- 24/7 Ordering & Gifting Concierge - LIVE
- Referral Rewards -- LIVE
- Personalized Original Content & Bi-Annual Club Magazine (Think Dollar Shave Club but tailored to our product market) - 2 Months or less
- Perks / Lifestyle Store – 2 Weeks or Less
- Carry Request (request ONE ROQ be carried at your favorite neighborhood bars, restaurants or stores) – Available in approx. 12 Weeks for launched markets.
Please stay tuned for additional upcoming announcements coming this week!

Quick Updates
Members,
A quick update to address some questions at the current stage of the Company's funding campaign. As you aware, ONE ROQ has now achieved a quarter million of its goal to date. Funds committed (less StartEngine fees) have allowed the Company to initiate a number of undertakings essential to the continued growth of our pre-launch campaign, and also towards an exciting formal launch of the Club, and brand.
Our progress is putting us on schedule to enter select US markets by the early Summer. With a forthcoming announcement, we will be revealing when, how and where ONE ROQ will be concentrating its initial market introduction activities. While some Members will realize the enjoyment of ONE ROQ in their favorite neighborhood retailers sooner than others, we will be putting extra effort into crafting ways to offer equally enjoyable experiences for those residing in markets designated for Phase 2 of our launch plan. One of these ways continues to be the prospect of enhancing the viability of our Home Delivery (e-commerce) service by establishing lower and lower pricing. We continue to work with our partners to achieve this goal.
Reality
We believe that we have built one of the most innovative business models the spirits industry will ever see. This should both scare and excite our competition. However, to realize its full potential, the Company must continue to consistently raise towards the complete funding goal. To use an analogy: ONE ROQ has built - and piloted- the plane. In order for it to fly, it only requires fuel.
With that stated, let us rise and continue our stride.

Amended Update - Worth Every Penny
2 months ago
Approaching A Quarter Million, And Worth Every Penny
Dear Members,
ONE ROQ Spirits, makers of luxury-American vodka brand, ONE ROQ, continues an outstanding opening gate drive as it approaches 25% of its total funding goal. To you, we raise a glass.
To date, funds that have been received are going towards critical set up stages of our comprehensive plan to create the world’s first Member- owned, luxury adult beverage brand. At the heart of our early success: a vodka of superlative quality, a brand of tested character, and a Membership intimately aligned to play their part in our future success. Congratulations to our ever-strengthening foundation of Founding Members, and for those joining within the past 30 days, welcome to our journey.
What have we been doing?
Thanks to you, we have been able to reorganize our supply chain to begin improving our cost structures. We have partnered with ancillary marketing teams that will play a critical role in the introduction of what we envision becoming an award-winning lifestyle content platform. We have been redesigning and positioning ourselves for a new era in e-commerce. We have developed a slew of programming for our (to-be-launched) Membership platform. Lastly, we have ‘teed up’ amazing strategic partners that will give ONE ROQ the coveted entry points to key battling grounds within the US adult beverage market.
While our progress deserves recognition, let it be known, much more work is to be done – and continued Member-driven funding remains the highest importance for the Company, and our mutual success.
The Numbers
Since inception, average weekly investments continue to range from $6,000 to $12,000 with initial Member investments averaging at $360.00 per investor (Silver-Class ). While initial investments are purchasing the upper tier of ONE ROQ's Silver Club Membership, committed investors continue to take advantage of their ability to reinvest to upgrade their Membership holdings to Gold, and sometimes Black Member status. As a reminder, Members receive the same access to Privileges regardless of initial investment. The only difference is your stock holdings.
Who is Joining Our Forces?
Generally, around 60% of our Members are originating from Facebook, 10% from Start Engine, 25% via Member Referral, and 5% from organic search. Notably, 90% of this Membership is heavily concentrated in the United States with the remainder situated in Asia, Canada, Europe, Australia and the Middle East. ( I guess Russia isn’t so keen on America stealing their thunder? Sorry, Russia. Can’t we all just, be friends?)
Forecasting
With predictable, month-over-month growth, by this time next month, it is expected we will have nearly 700 Members joining ORVC. And, by June 1, we remain bullish on the achievement of 1,000 Founding Members bringing ONE ROQ’s vision to disrupt the vodka establish to fruition.
Recent Amendment
As you know, we recently reset the clock in our offering in order for the Company to continue to be able to accept investment towards its funding goal. We want investors to be aware that these resets are required to be filed with the SEC as Amendments, but that no material changes to Stock Issuance has– or will occur - until all stock has been purchased in this Offering. To be clear, the Company’s value will never be lower than in this offering. Thus, it is the most valuable entry point for investors in terms of potential return.
Perks
We are eager to begin distributing Perks to early investors. However, we want to be able to tie this out with our initial introduction of ONEROQClub.com, and the newly activated, as well as enhanced Privileges. We are now working daily on finishing touches of the anticipated “Member Migration” where early Members will be able to create their unique Club profiles, download an initial version of the ORVC web app, and claim perks! While we prepare this and other impending announcements, as usual, we ask for your continued patience.
Our Beliefs
Let it be known, at the heart of our brand is a cultural value system underscoring a bold and disruptive business model. Traditionally, corporate business models of vodkas, spirits, and consumer products alike, exist with a select number of privileged owners who then rule over - and benefit from - their willing subjects (i.e., consumers). Under this model, consumers spend their hard earned money to enjoy the temporary emotional satisfaction of products and services in which they have no long-term equity in, all the while lining the pockets of the owner-elites. ONE ROQ’s mission is to raise awareness to this mediocrity – even, dysfunctionality - by empowering consumers to claim more. In this vein, we offer our drink as a symbol of this new cultural standard.
Capitalism With A Conscience
As a spirit, and a Company, ONE ROQ is fortunate to be positioned at the very beginning of a new kind of economy - a world where consumers buy what they own, and own what they buy. This future is not only viable, it is equitable. And in a capitalist world that arguably breeds more harm than good, it is simply the right thing to do. Some may call this socialism. We call it, "capitalism with a conscience." And we’ll drink to that.
As Always, Let ONE ROQ Remind you to Escape The Ordinary, and Own Your Spirit
Cheers,
Garrett Green

Original Content by ORVC
When you raise a toast, you're doing several important things: you're letting the world know who you are, what you support, and, of course, your taste in liquor. To put it plainly, singular taste, whether it be in clothes, cars, homes, or what's in that raised glass, elevates both your social profile and your net worth.
Stakeholders and Spirits
Hollywood stars the likes of George Clooney, PDiddy, and Justin Timberlake may be garnering recent attention for alcohol-branded ownerships, but make no mistake: celebrities aren't the only ones looking to bottles for investments. Without having a stake in what you're drinking, you're only sipping at success instead of owning it. The taste, the lifestyle, and the prestige of a premium liquor brand is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of truly enjoying it. Knowing that you have literal stock and trade in each glass poured at an event or party is truly a top shelf experience.
The Thinker's Cocktail
It's long been a trend for investors to get behind the brands they have experienced personally. A great impression on the individual level echoes at the corporate level, after all. Recognizing that trait is what makes and fuels the giants of industry, and liquor is no exception. A single crystal-clear idea - much like a premium vodka - goes down smooth, lingers exactly where it's supposed to, and mixes well with other investments. Isn't it time that we started enjoying each drink, both physically and fiscally?
ONE ROQ isn't just a vodka for the savvy investor - it's a drink for the individual that thirsts for something more. Drink what you own, and own what you drink. Own Your Spirit.

Can ONE ROQ be Stopped?
ORVC Reaches $230k and 21% Of Funding Goal with Member No. 550
March 6, 2019, Palm Beach, Florida -- ONE ROQ Spirits, makers of ONE ROQ Vodka and ONEROQClub.com announce Member-Owner No. 550.
Four months ago, ONE ROQ Vodka Club went public with a brazen plan to disrupt one of oldest and largest beverage alcohol markets in the world. A month later it found itself with 100 Members. Another month later: 200 Members. Two and half months from there: 550 Members. In summary, in just 4.5 months it has become clear that ONE ROQ's vision of redefining brand authenticity through ownership, is striking a chord.
And with its differentiated, web-enabled approach proving out as a solution to the barriers of the industry's 3-tier system, the question is invariably beginning to form in the minds of the competition: "if ONE ROQ continues its current growth, will it be able to be stopped?"
According to the Company, the answer is not a chance. ONE ROQ is creating a brand new lifestyle category, and its leadership in this category will be difficult, if not impossible to challenge. (Think Redbull as creator of the energy drink category or VitaminWater as creator of the vitamin-enhanced water category - and their subsequent, long-term domination as leaders in those respective categories as a consequence of being the creators.)
Yet, what gives ONE ROQ even more 'unstoppability' is the inability of virtually any current established vodka brand to compete with ONE ROQ's model. For example, how can a Grey Goose, a Kettle One, a Ciroc or a Tito's possibly offer their consumers the opportunity to become privileged shareholders in their brand when the Founders of those brands have already either sold all of their stock to fatcats on Wallstreet, or decided long ago to keep all the stock for themselves?
And if one day - because of ONE ROQ's impact on this market - these brands begin appearing with their own Clubs that miraculously offer stock, BEWARE of authenticity, as it won't be the privileged, Foundational stock that only early Companies, like ONE ROQ, can offer.
ONE ROQ’s Future Rests With Its Members
With ONE ROQ now well past validation stage, the future is irrefutably bright for the world's first luxury spirits brand owned and guided by its Members. It is now up to us to maximize the potentiality of the Company's progress.
For Members, this means continued support through Sharing and investment. For the Company, this means timely and precise operational executions, including: the launch of ONEROQClub.com; market launches; and the continued web-driven growth of ORVC Membership to reach the Company’s required overall funding goal so it can continue to perform on the former.
What is Next?
Many of our Members are becoming increasingly anxious to claim ORVC perks, enjoy ONE ROQ in their favorite local establishments, and benefit from the Privileges that have been designed as part of ONE ROQ's Club experience. We want everyone to know we have been working diligently towards bringing these facets to fruition and on the schedule promised. Here is a current look at our daily objectives, and their timing.
- ONEROQClub.com - Web and Communications Management teams are working to bring ONEROQClub.com to a ready state within the next few weeks. On or very near to this time-schedule, Members will be invited to create their Club accounts, download the web-app, and claim Perks. Perks will include branded ORVC gear such as shirts, hats, jackets, and other specialty items.
- Club Privileges - The same teams are beginning to set strategic framework for the activation of additional Club Privileges. This includes: Escape The Ordinary Original Content, featuring our personalized e-magazine covering articles and tips for: Travel, Home Entertaining, Dating & Relationships, Careers, and more. We hope to be introducing these plans by early April.
- Launch Inventory & Production – We are anticipating placing production orders in April for our target May and April market launches.
- Unboxing - To improve our Ordering & Gifting service experience and value to Members, we are now actively engaged in a project to improve the secondary packaging – as well as the pricing of our product when ordered through the Club. As we continue to disclose, current pricing is the result of our current production volumes, as well as applied shipping and tax. When our growth as a Company, we anticipate our online pricing to come down over time. (Be aware that Pricing via retail will arrive at or around $27.99 - $32.99/btl depending on Liter or 750mL, for Members.)
- Retail Availability (Distribution) - Bringing ONE ROQ into the market must be done on a State by State basis (by Law), and is one of the most important, and cumbersome undertaking of our business plan. Presently, we are preparing to begin entering markets utilizing an alternative distribution model where retail sales carried out by a dedicated sales force. More updates are to come on timing and related stage gates.
Help us accelerate by Sharing The Club today.

ONE ROQ Vodka® Club Is Building A Sparkling Future
ONE ROQ Spirits, architects of ONE ROQ® vodka, announces 450th Member for category-pioneering lifestyle platform.
To our Members, we raise a glass. To those still on the side-lines, we look forward to having you. To the naysayers, we told you so.
Membership Growth
The consistent and wide-ranging daily investment from across the US and the world, continues to validate ONE ROQ Vodka’s differentiated approach in cutting through the clutter of the 74 Billion dollar a year distilled spirits industry – and this is already proving to be a fundamental indicator of ONE ROQ future success.
At the heart of our journey: a story of how an aspiring luxury brand became bold enough to defy predatory capitalism by offering consumers the greatest luxury of all: ownership in its rising American brand, and the authentic lifestyle privileges that accompany it.
As we all know, thanks to our historical investments, ONE ROQ is at the ground floor with one of the most innovative and comprehensive business models the industry is sure to see. Recently, a 30+ year industry executive called ORVC the “Space-X” of the distilled spirits industry. For privacy reasons this individual has requested to remain anonymous. For Members, this is an immense opportunity that should be celebrated and shared. For Management, we are performing daily and ready for execute on every step of our plan as quickly as our funding success will allow.
Operational Initiatives
Presently, ONE ROQ is working daily towards three core undertakings aimed at creating material progress for the Company. These undertaking include 1.) the development and launch of our pioneering lifestyle platform, ONEROQClub.com; 2.) the preparation and execution of timely and select retail market launches, and 3.) the continued improvement and expansion of Member and Prospective Member communications processes.
Upcoming Announcements
- ONE ROQ to Name National Distribution Partner for FL, CA, and NY
- ONE ROQ to select date to migrate Members to ONEROQClub.com. (This will allow Members to create their official ORVC accounts, download the web-app, and claim perks.)
- ONE ROQ to Extend Offering via Amendment
- ONE ROQ to finalize ORVC Gifting Promotion
Money Is Speed
With ORVC out of the gate publicly, it’s only a matter of time before Wall Street or Silicon Valley funded competition arises on the scene with their copycats. We must defend and protect our leadership position at all costs, and this means increasing speed is of the utmost importance.

Weekly Update
3 months ago
Dear Members,
Let the following update serve as a quick week in review, as well as reminder of some of the more pertinent next-steps towards our plan.
US Market Entry
This past week was spent conducting a series of meetings in preparation for the Company's 2019 market entry into key markets. As we learned in ONE ROQ's history, aligning ourselves with effective and passionate distributors is one of the most important decisions a brand can make in its plan for success. Distributors that are too small lack clout and marketing muscle with retailers, and distributors that are too large lose focus on new brands when their larger "more important" brands demand attention. In fact, large distributors are under intense pressure by their suppliers to make sure their larger brands (Grey Goose, Kettle One, Smirnoff, Tito's) stay top of mind with retailers and consumers – ‘OR ELSE’.
As part of this understanding, let it be known, ONE ROQ will reject - or part with - distributors who allow themselves to be influenced by these types of political & financial interests. Distributors should be aligning with brands based on their merits, and more importantly, the authentic demands of consumers - vs. dictating to consumers what brands they should and should not have.
Using this experience to navigate our future success, ONE ROQ is pleased to share that it has entered into the early stages of an Agreement with one of the Country’s most innovative and broad-reaching beverage-alcohol distributors. The consummation of such an Agreement would allow ONE ROQ to access all 50 states of North America with our own dedicated sales force, whereby traversing traditional distribution bureaucracy, and asserting full control over our destiny.
Assuming this Agreement is reached within the next two weeks, the Company anticipates being able to begin penetrating retailers within FL, CA and NY in the month of April and May. Remember, once we have officially ‘turned on’ a State, Members within that State will be able to utilize the Carry Request (to be launched App tool) to bring ONE ROQ into retailers of their choice – once again allowing the Company to control its destiny in way never before done in the industry.
ONE ROQ is now hiring industry experienced Area Sales Representatives in select markets. For more information, GO HERE.
Club Activation
With Membership slatted to reach 500 by March 15, we are working diligently to have the initial version of the Club and its Privileges ready for feedback and testing by Members. Official invitation to create your ORVC Member Account will be sent out on a to-be-announced date. Please note that some Privileges may still be in development at the time of this migration - namely, our Events and Original Content platforms which are requiring intense planning and of course, the meeting of our timely funding goals.
Ordering & Gifting – Continuous Improvement
As a reminder, our live Concierge service via ONEROQClub.com provides consumers and Members that reside within approved US States the ability to acquire or gift ONE ROQ at any time. While we continue to provide our 40% discount to both Members and Prospective Members, we are still working on the options that will introduce greater cost savings to Members over the near and long-term operating plan.
Another area of improvement is the “premiumization” of the ONE ROQ unboxing experience. To achieve our goals of becoming a pioneering lifestyle brand, it will be necessary for us to upgrade our current pulp-based shipper and 1-877 pouch, to our own custom branded, foam-based shipper and pouch. This will allow us to achieve a higher degree of aesthetic as well as ensure product is not affected along its journey. Note, in highly limited scenarios, Members have reported the appearance of ‘dust’ upon unboxing. This dust comes from the current pulp-based packing which rubs off during transit, which will be eliminated with our planned upgrade.
The Ground Is Swelling - Can you Feel it?
Thanks to Members like you, ONE ROQ has now reached 15% of its overall funding goal within its first three months. Both StartEngine.com and NewChip.com confirms ONE ROQ Vodka Club is one of the top performing food & beverage offerings within the US Regulation Crowdfunding market. This is significant news, as this means the word is getting it out and the ground is starting to swell.
As ONE ROQ’s Offering and business plan continues to be contingent on meeting its full funding goals, let us continue this momentum by reminding each other that Sharing The Club, or making periodic reinvestments are key to optimizing our mutual success.
This week in review update is provided in summary and does not include the Company’s overall management efforts. To stay current with Company progress and announcements, make sure to continue to watch your Start Engine Updates, or Join Our Newsletter at: ONEROQClub.com. For questions, please e-mail: Questions@ONEROQClub.com and we will reply within 24 hours.
As usual, let ONE ROQ inspire you to control your destiny, by Owning Your Spirit.
Cheers,
J. Garrett Green, Founder

It's Time To Own Your Spirit
4 months ago
To Our Current & Prospective ROQs,
Its our pleasure to share that we continue to make outstanding progress towards the development and launch of our highly anticipated lifestyle platform, ONEROQClub.com and its debut inside the 75 Billion a year distilled spirits market - thanks entirely to timely and continuous investments being made by new and existing Members. To these Members, we extend our congratulations and deepest gratitude for their ongoing support. You are the Founding Members, the First-movers, the Bold, which fortune will invariably come to favor.
Current Stats
To date, ONE ROQ Vodka has received a total of 399 investments from approximately 320 Members, totaling just over $129,500k. Average individual investment size presently rests at $325 with daily investment ranging from $300 to $4,000. Our Members, while concentrated geographically within the US, also include several handfuls of international Members – one of which is a famous celebrity in his respective country! We think that’s pretty cool.
Home Delivery
Notably, a small but growing percentage of our Members have begun using our home delivery and gifting service to taste and stock their home bars, driving initial, incremental sales for the Company. For those of you who have ordered and received your bottles of ONE ROQ, feel free to share your feedback or testimonials at: stories@oneroqclub.com . To Order Yours: Go Here.
Preparation & Patience
The key to accomplishing the next milestone of our plan is solidifying distribution agreements for key markets, preparing adequate inventories, ramping up technical and creative resources, and putting all wheels in motion by the end of Q1 (assuming a minimum of 50% of our current funding goal is reached). To accomplish this, we are leaning on our Members for two things: their continued patience and their continued support towards our fund raising goals. To that end, here are some tips we would love for you to consider to further our mutual progress:
- Share Our Offering with Friends, Family or Colleagues – if everyone shared the Club with just 3 Members who invested at the average investment amount, we would arrive at half or more of our goal in just a few days.
- Reinvest/Upgrade – one of the beautiful things about ONE ROQ’s offering, is that we offer a very low minimum investment requirement, AND no limit with how many times you can reinvest to upgrade your Membership. Remember, the more shares you own, the greater your potential returns. AND, the more money the Company receives, the more likely it WILL succeed.
- Jump In – With 300+ Members invested and just under 650 following our campaign, that means that over 300 of you have yet to invest. In my years of both starting and investing in early stage companies, I have seen some unexpected things, but one thing almost always plays out to a T. When a new Company presents an ambitious plan to disrupt a huge market, investors with bigger check books usually wait to see if that Company gets initial investors. Once this traction occurs, those larger investors come in with heavy hands to gobble up as much as the remaining equity in the offering as possible. ONE ROQ is in the midst of demonstrating this traction, and those larger investors are now looming. Therefore, if you’re going to invest in ONE ROQ, we suggest claiming your equity sooner than later...because you just never know whose out there ready to purchase the remaining equity in a unique public offering like ONE ROQ, and edge you out of a deal.
The Problem We Address
For most people, and even veteran investors, it can be difficult to grasp the competitive advantage of a distilled spirit brand like vodka. I.e., what problem could possibly exist to be solved by a liquor brand? And in most cases, there isn't. In fact, most "innovation" in distilled spirits has been through either new package design, pricing, flavor, production methods, or brand stories. What ONE ROQ is doing however, is quite different. ONE ROQ is actually addressing out a cultural problem. This problem is the attempt by virtually all other brands - through the device of Lifestyle Advertising - to make us (consumers) believe that when we buy their brands, we (somehow) receive the same lifestyle and financial privileges as their owners. ONE ROQ believes this advertising practice is deceptive, as true rewards are enjoyed by, and only by, brand owners. It is time to change the way we think about what we drink, what we own, and who benefits. It is time to own our spirit.
Cheers,
Founder / CEO

- The development of key distribution agreements in several targeted markets, including importantly, those inhabited by our Membership.
- The hiring of sales, marketing, creative and operational personnel to support the roll out and activation within these markets. (We have made significant headway attracting leading service providers in the areas of: event planning, content experience, sales, and public relations.)
- The continued development of web, creative and content assets to support our gradual build up to mainstream launch. Remember, the Company's focus is on reaching annual case sales of 35-50k+ case per annum by year 3.5. Here is a reminder of our Member & Sales projections depicting the current stage.

- The building of inventories to supply our various market launches - and the Members within them.
- The development and launch of our Member Events platform
- The development and launch of our quarterly Escape The Ordinary Content E-Magazine

Our Last Week - Our Strongest Yet
6 months ago
E S C A P E T H E O R D I N A R Y . O W N Y O U R S P I R I T .
ONE ROQ Spirits, architects of ONE ROQ® luxury vodka, is a privately held lifestyle spirits company Founded by award-winning brand strategist, J. Garrett Green. The company is currently raising funding of$107k, which will be used to expand the company’s offering through a subsequent offering of up to $900k. Total proceeds will go towards the development and mainstream launch of the company’s innovative lifestyle platform, ONEROQClub.com, and the “Own Your Spirit” cultural ad campaign, featuring Member equity and privileges.
To Our Current and Prospective ROQs,
The past week was our strongest yet – and we are barely getting started. Club Membership is now at 192 investors with total trailing investment of $72,000 – roughly 67% of our total initial funding goal. Average individual investment hovers at just under $400 with daily average investment ranging between $2,000 to $4,500. Notably, this past week in progress has been the result of a minimal $900 investment into digital promotion – a 1,000% ROI. (Imagine our momentum when we begin to start allocating funds towards broadening our reach.)
Thank you
To New Members: welcome to our journey. To Current Members who have upped their stake this past week: a most sincere thank you - and of course, congratulations. You have again, successfully secured your position at the lowest potential valuation of ONE ROQ Spirit’s future.
Prep For Initial Funds
Over the last four weeks, while the Company has been awaiting receipt of its initial funds (yes, they are still processing via StartEngine), we have taken proactive steps to align with initial marketing partners who will help co-lead our campaign’s strategic online expansion of our offering.
Meetings & Planning For Growth
This past week we conducted several meetings with members of the immediate and extended team to begin discussing the plans that have been established for 2019 to meet the promises made to Members. To this end, and due to an early proof-of-concept being demonstrated through the initial reception of our Club (i.e., thanks to you), there is a growing confidence within the organization that suggests we should no longer discuss ONE ROQ in the context of if we achieve ‘virality,’ but when.
Conference Call
As promised in our former update, we would like to schedule a conference call that our current 192+ Members – and 400+ campaign followers – can utilize to gain another level of insight into the company, the brand, and business strategy. We also want to use this opportunity to answers questions from Membership directly. So, on Friday, please be on the lookout for an update which will preface this event.
Let's Rise
With exceptional - and telling - progress made in just the first hand full of weeks of ONE ROQ Spirits campaign, it behooves me to thank - and congratulate - you all once more. With just a few more weeks to go in our initial offering period, let us rally to achieve and exceed every step of our destiny.
Let ONE ROQ® inspire you to Escape the Ordinary, and Own Your Spirit ™.

Average individual investment still hovers at $400, with total average daily flows between $1,200 and $5,500. Uptick in Gold and Black Level Members continues.
To all New Members: welcome to our journey. To all Current Members who have upped their stake this past week, a sincere thank you - and an even bigger Congratulations. You have each successfully secured your position at the lowest potential valuation of our Company’s future. And this is key.
P r o m i n e n t N e w M e m b e r S p o t l i g h t
ONE ROQ is excited to announce the recent joining of Mr. Jeremy Jordan-Jones. Mr. Jones is a graduate from the Harvard School of Economics, an accredited business analyst, and recently appeared in the Forbes, 2018 Under 30 Summit for his company, Amalgam – the world’s smartest blockchain solution. We are thrilled to have Jeremy as part of the Club representing our focus to advance an industry underpinned by consumer safety, transparency and equity.
2 4 / 7 O r d e r i n g & G i f t i n g
ONE ROQ has begun shipping orders to Members making use of our 24/7 Ordering and Gifting service via ONEROQClub.com. What better time to enjoy the vodka you own, than by sharing with friends and family during the upcoming holiday season? Note, to Members who have placed orders this past week, please allow for a few extra days for delivery as we were required to move inventory to our various fulfillment partners located throughout the country in preparation for the Club’s expansion. After this initial set up, we will revert to normal 3-5 day lead-times for all online orders. Also, related, please excuse any wrinkles that may be present on the labels of these orders as these tend to appear this time of year due the change in climate. We will be working with supply chain to remedy this moving forward. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
S t a t u s o f I n i t i a l F u n d s
As shared last week's update, ONE ROQ has submitted for request for its initial disbursement of campaign funds in order to expand efforts to drive awareness of its campaign. While this request was made on the 7th of November, there is a 10-day processing wait time for the funds to clear into our account. Once received, we will immediately expand our current promotional strategies.
U p C o m i n g C o n f e r e n c e C a l l
With the campaign increasing in momentum, so too are important questions from new and prospecting Members. To help all become aligned with key objectives, strategies and milestones of the Company's plan, we will be planning on holding our first conference call sometime in November. Official details to be announced.
T h r e e F r i e n d s
Whether you’ve secured your Membership, or on your way in, this is your opportunity to secure – or maximize – in early position in our company's future. After our total offering goal of $1M is completed, the valuation opportunity will never be lower.

WEEK 3 - COMMENCING DRAW TO EXPAND
7 months agoA brief update as we prepare to optimize campaign momentum for the second half of our offering period.
To Current & Prospective Members,
Another week of outstanding momentum with total Membership now at 121 Members and just under $50k committed in our initial $100k funding tranche. (Average investment amount still hovers at $400 per investor, with a notable uptick in "Black-Level" Members.)
To all new Members: Welcome to Our Journey. To all Current Members who have upped their stake this past week, a huge Thank You, and an even bigger Congratulations.
Some Recitals
Per last week's update, we are currently focused on exercising an initial draw of campaign funds. These funds will be used in order to scale key digital marketing strategies profitably driving Membership growth, in addition to allowing us go to the next phase of the company's plan. Key objectives include: creation of strategic PR platform, meetings with Tier Distributors for FL, CA and NY, continued development of Club privileges, and elevating CRM communications with Membership.
We Aren't Even Scratching The Surface
To echo one of last week's highlights: to date, the Company has successfully risen $50k of investment, with trailing marketing investments of just $5,500. With that said, we are beyond excited to share we will be able to optimize the next phase of our launch strategy by receiving these funds. Growth abound!
Be On The Look Out
Note, the initial draw date was scheduled for the Nov 5 (yesterday). However, it is now scheduled for November 7th (tomorrow). As part of this process, please be on the look out for notification from StartEngine (per SEC rules) to confirm your Investment in the offering - and your Official Membership.
Until Next Week, Escape The Ordinary, and Own Your Spirit.

WEEK 2 - PROGRESS UPDATE
7 months agoONE ROQ Vodka Club Reaches Its First
1 0 0 M E M B E R S !
Congratulations To Our Founding Investors!
To Our Current and Prospective Members,
Its been just two weeks, and ONE ROQ Spirits continues positive campaign momentum with $37,500 raised of an initial $100k goal, bringing total membership to 100 Investors! A huge congratulations to you all. You have successfully secured your position at the early possible stages - and valuation - of the Company's future.
Key Accomplishment
We have generated this initial success investing just $5,000 into the initial online advertising of the ONE ROQ Club offering. Everyone, that is a 650% Return On Investment. This means that for every $1 we are able to put behind the advertising of the Club online (namely, social media advertising), we are generating approximately $8 in return. In summary, in just two weeks we have established a predictable model that will allow us to successfully scale our campaign's funding targets to the initial $107k - and up to $1.07M in over allotment needed to take ONE ROQ mainstream.
Next Steps
Importantly, this future success is contingent upon both your continued help, and the Company's ability to draw on its initial funds come November 5th. From here, the Company will allocate the appropriate investments to expand its working model through its strategic Social Media and Public Relations plan. Using these platforms, we will widen distribution of ONE ROQ's content resonating with like-minded consumer-investors, while also commencing the creation of new content designed to focus - and drive - the Company's story and purpose-driven existence.
Why We Are Here
Yes, ONE ROQ is an internationally award winning spirit that exudes the highest standards of taste and quality, but what makes ONE ROQ truly unique is its commitment to challenging the authenticity of an entire industry, by giving to the consumer what large brands would never: ownership, and the genuine lifestyle and financial privileges that accompany it. Therefore, ONE ROQ is the world's first genuine luxury, lifestyle spirit.
So, Join us. Escape the ordinary, and Own Your Spirit.
