Siklus would like to get ventural capital investor ready, and require help to refine our financial projections, business model, and investor deck.
Siklus is reinventing the future of retail by selling everyday necessities without packaging at a lower cost. Our stationary dispensers are set up in local stores, whereas our mobile dispensers travel through low-income neighborhoods. Customers bring their own containers to purchase refills of consumer products such as oil, shampoo, detergent, and coffee at a discount. We use technology to dispense safely and precisely, to optimize our supply chain and allow brands to interact with their customers. As such, we are the next, sustainable model of retail.
- Helping us think through the business model to make our model more scalable
- General feedback on structure of our financial projections
- Feedback on assumptions of financial model
- Feedback on investor deck
We have draft financial projections and sales form previous projects, and an investor deck as well as previous data from traction and sales. The CEO and head of operations will be available for the project.
