Overview

Kidokinetics is thrilled to offer accredited investors the chance to participate in our $1M capital raise, designed to fuel our expansion and enhance our franchise network.

With a strong track record of revenue growth and a strategic focus on boosting profitability through royalty revenue and more efficient franchisee growth, Kidokinetics presents a compelling opportunity for significant returns. Investors in Kidokinetics gain access to a potentially income-generating asset with the potential for equity appreciation, while also contributing to the widespread positive impact on children’s health and development in communities across the country.

A Business Built for Scale

Strong Top Line Growth: Steadily increasing revenue from multiple sustainable revenue streams, increasingly led by ongoing royalty fees from successful franchisees.

Scalable, Sustainable Business Model: Kidokinetics utilizes a low-overhead franchise model that leverages existing community spaces, accelerating expansion and reducing costs. With a shift toward steady royalty income, our model will enhance financial stability and rapid scalability, adaptable to diverse markets for widespread growth.

Strong Executive Team: Kidokinetics is led by founder Terri Braun and franchising expert Dave Pazgan. The board includes Nick Friedman and Omar Soliman, founders of the $300 million franchise College Hunks Hauling Junk; and Frank Milner, President of Tutor Doctor with 650 franchises worldwide. Their combined expertise propels Kidokinetics’ leadership in child fitness franchising.

Filling a Gap in the Market

Kidokinetics is revolutionizing physical education by offering privatized, structured sports programs for children, filling the gap left by schools with limited PE resources.


For investors, this means tapping into a growing market of parents (B2C) seeking accessible fitness solutions for their children, as well as schools, daycares, and community centers (B2B) looking to outsource physical education. This dual revenue model enhances scalability and profitability, creating diverse streams of income for investors while addressing an essential need in child development.

Investment Highlights

Initial Investment: $25,000
Expected Total Returned Capital: $66,175
Kidokinetics experienced a 280% revenue growth in 2023, driven by the sale of 53 new franchise locations, reaching a total revenue of $4.9M.
Although 155 territories have been sold there are franchise opportunities are available nationwide, with particular interest in expanding into untapped regions across the U.S.
Founded by Terri Braun, Kidokinetics is led by a team of franchise veterans, including CEO Dave Pazgan, the founding CEO of 101 Mobility, which he grew to over $130 million in sales before its exit to private equity. The leadership team is supported by a seasoned advisory board, ensuring strong guidance and strategic growth.
Instead of focusing on a single sport, Kidokinetics offers a unique, sports-enrichment franchise focusing on children aged 1-10, filling a niche market with a proven demand. Its playful, inclusive approach to physical education, including privatized PE programs for charter schools, sets it apart from other children’s fitness programs.
Despite economic downturns, Kidokinetics has thrived, benefiting from an increased focus on children’s health and development. Its ability to adapt programs to various environments, including remote learning during the pandemic, contributed to its resilience and growth.

  • You need to be accredited to invest in this offering because it is conducted under **Regulation D, Rule 506(c)**, which allows companies to raise capital by offering securities to accredited investors without the need for SEC registration. This rule is designed to ensure that investors have the financial sophistication and ability to bear the risks associated with such investments, as these opportunities often carry higher risk and are less regulated than publicly traded securities.

    An accredited investor is an individual or entity that meets certain financial criteria set by the SEC. Typically, an individual qualifies if they have a net worth of at least $1 million (excluding their primary residence) or have earned an income of $200,000 (or $300,000 with a spouse) in each of the last two years, with the expectation of maintaining that income level. This qualification ensures that accredited investors can handle the potential risks associated with private offerings.

  • Based on years of franchise investing expertise, FranShares uses a variety of criteria to select franchises for investment:

    Return on Investment (ROI): At the federal level, franchising is regulated by the FTC through the “FTC Franchise Rule,” which requires franchises to disclose their full itemized startup costs. While not mandatory, franchises may also disclose a Financial Performance Representation (FPR), including metrics like gross revenue, net profit, or customer numbers. FranShares prioritizes franchises that disclose net profits in their FPR, providing investors with clearer insights into potential returns. We avoid franchises with high buildout costs, large employee headcounts, or extensive inventory to maximize ROI.

    Growth: We assess each franchise’s growth by looking at sales per location and the number of franchisees, ensuring that the brand is expanding.

    Availability: FranShares focuses on growing franchise brands that still have availability for new locations in desirable markets, avoiding saturated franchises like major fast-food chains with limited availability.

    Leadership: As part of FTC disclosure requirements, franchisors must reveal details about their leadership teams. We seek out franchises led by experienced teams with a proven track record in both their industry and franchising.

    Sustainability: We favor essential service franchises with strong long-term prospects, avoiding fads and focusing on staples like haircare, automotive, and fitness industries.

    Competition and Competitive Advantages: We examine each franchise’s competitors, industry growth, and competitive advantages to determine their ability to capture market share.

    Manageability: We focus on semi-absentee franchise models that can be manager-run, with lower employee counts and streamlined operations. We also enhance these models with additional management layers to maximize operational efficiency.

    Recession and Pandemic Resistance: While no one can predict the future, we focus on essential, need-based industries with a history of strong performance during economic downturns or crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. This helps us make educated investment decisions for stability in all economic conditions.
