ENCORE / FOR INVESTORS

Patient Capital for
Enriching Entertainment.

We are raising $10,000,000 of Series A Preferred Equity, at a pre-money valuation of $30,000,000. The long-term objective is two-part:

Financing Terms

Series A Financing Terms

Long-Term Capital Structure

Investor capital is committed for a minimum of eight years, with limited transferability during that period.

Returns w/o Sale

Potential investor returns may come through a future liquidity event, distributions, or company repurchases, if any, subject to board approval, applicable law, financing arrangements, and available cash.

1.0x Non-Participating Preferred

Investors receive their invested capital back first before common equity participates.

Ownership

Series A investors will own approximately 25% of the company on an as-converted basis, if fully subscribed.

Investor Protections

Includes standard minority protections, such as financial reporting, approval rights on major decisions, and pro-rata participation in future financings.

Return Mechanics

How investors get paid.

Encore is not a quick flip. We expect the platform to reach profitability by Year 4 as the shared-services infrastructure matures, the portfolio scales, and partner companies begin contributing positive EBITDA.

Two-Phase Strategy

A phased approach allows us to first grow a few anchor businesses before expanding the larger Operating Platform.

PHASE 1 (YEARS 1–2) Incubator Studio Invest in ~5 businesses with distinctive concepts + unit economics Support with capital and ops expertise Identify winners; advance to Platform PHASE 2 (YEARS 3–8) Operating Platform Acquire / merge ~20 adjacent businesses Centralized shared services (finance, HR, ticketing, mktg.) Reinvest cash flow: acquisitions, expansion Recaps to fund growth / return capital Y1 Y2 Y3 Y4 Profitable Y5 Y6 Y7 Y8
Portfolio Economics

Platform Approach

Unlike a traditional private equity rollup, Encore is not built around a forced exit timeline. The objective is to align around long-term value creation—growing revenue, improving margins, expanding into new markets, and integrating capabilities across the platform.

If we can…

  • Scale to 25 companies
  • Improve to ~20% EBITDA margin
  • Grow avg. company $500K → ~$3M revenue

Then we will together generate…

  • $75M combined revenue annually
  • $15M EBITDA ($600K per company)*

With potential for the HoldCo to generate…

  • $5M+ EBITDA

Growth Playbook

Underserved Markets

Encore aims to strengthen social cohesion across differences. We focus on businesses that impact communities where polarization is high and/or democratic participation is especially consequential.

Encore targets event businesses that can succeed in small and mid-sized cities. These markets have populations large enough to support frequent year-round events, but are not saturated with this type of in-demand cultural programming.
