Investment

Our goal is to raise $375,000 by March 2010 through organic growth in membership from 1,200 members to 2,000 as well as a member-owner investment offering. The Co-op is confident this goal will be accomplished with just 150 member-owners investing an average of $2,500 each. However, member-owners may also participate in the offering with a minimum investment of just $500.

Incentives for members interested in making larger investments are also available. Proceeds obtained through this offering will be used to fund start-up operations of the Brewpub, and will eliminate the need for debt financing. Investment is open to all members of the Black Star Co-op.

We encourage you, the member-owners, to invest in your Co-op through this offering in order to use your money in a socially conscious manner and to help realize the vision that has brought us all together. Please contact invest@blackstar.coop and a Black Star representative will get back to you with more information.
