Opportunities for Early Investors in BraveHart’s Phased Capital Raise

BraveHart intends to raise a total of $10,000,000 over the next few years to fund the development of 10 Hawaiian Bros restaurants. The raise will be conducted in tranches as capital is needed to develop a subset of those 10 locations.

The first tranche is for $2,500,000 to fund the currently operating Davenport, IA location and the development of the new Waukee, IA location. This tranche is priced at $1.00 per unit while future investors will pay a higher price for the same units, meaning earlier investors will likely see an immediate increase in the value of their investment.

By getting shares in this price, investors receive the following benefits:

• Larger Share of Cash Flows: Investors in the first tranche lock in their participation across all locations, including future stores funded by later tranches. While subsequent investors will enter at higher valuations and prices, early investors gain the potential upside from the full development of all locations at a lower cost.
• Maximize Early Stake for Long-Term Growth: By investing early, you’re not just betting on the success of the first two locations—you’re positioning yourself to benefit from the cash flows of the entire portfolio by locking in a larger ownership stake at a lower price. Later investors will pay more for the same participation, making your early stake more valuable.
• Compounding Returns: As more stores are added, the cash flow potential grows, meaning first-round investors stand to see compounding returns on their original investment—while paying the lowest entry price.
• Lower Execution Risk: With one location already operational, investors face less risk while still benefiting from future store developments. Success from these locations builds confidence for future rounds and supports higher valuations, increasing the value of early investments.

This phased capital raising approach benefits early investors by offering a lower entry price and the opportunity to capitalize on the company’s growth before subsequent rounds are offered at higher valuations. Early participants not only benefit from this lower price but also secure a larger share of future profits, positioning themselves for greater long-term returns compared to later investors.
