Investment

Black Star Co-op is raising capital through the sale of preferred stock called Member-Investor Shares. The Shares are available only to Member-Owners who reside in the State of Texas and will be offered through the opening of the brewpub. Subject to the actual financial performance of the Co-op, the Board’s intention is that the Shares will carry a dividend of 6% per annum.

To get the doors open we need to raise $475,000, but the goal has moved closer with a challenge investment from Wheatsville Food Co-op. Once we raise $425,000, Wheatsville will kick in the last $50,000. And, since we’ve already raised over $380,000, there’s just $45,000 left to go to meet their challenge. We’ll close the offering once we open the brewpub, so with the goal so close, you don’t want to miss your opportunity to invest in the world’s first co-operatively owned brewpub!

We are seeking an average investment of $2,500 with incentives for larger investments first at $5,000 and again at $10,000. However, Member-Owners may participate in the offering with a minimum investment of just $500.
