Notes Coffee Crowdfunding Campaign
This is yet another successful crowdfunding story - the Notes crowdfunding campaign, which attracted 831 investors and closed its round with £1,194,330 pledged. Let's explore the brand, their crowdfunding journey and Drop's role in their funding triumph.
Notes Crowdfunding – The brand
Notes is not only an established coffee shop but they sell curated crafts, wines and serve delicious platter foods. With 9 locations across London, the brand prides itself in sourcing, roasting and serving the most delicious coffee they can discover. Starting from a street coffee cart 8 years ago, Notes' founder instantaeously spotted the potential for a premium coffee brand, surfed the trend and landed on serving 1.4 million cups a year. Three years ago, they had raised £900,000 on Crowdcube successfully doubling their revenue to nearly £5m, helping them go from 5 to 9 locations and returned to the platform to scale even more growth.
Notes Crowdfunding – How Drop Studio supported them
Our paths crossed as we were introduced to Notes’ founders by Crowdcube. Aiming to take full advantage of the premium coffee trend, Notes had already decided to crowdfund and needed support with video production. As a team of passionate coffee drinkers, we were eager to learn how the brand operates and how their passion for coffee influences each decision and detail. Gaining invaluable insights into how they have grown the business from pop up store to an innovative chain across London, we focused their crowdfunding video on the expansion of the business following on from their previous campaign on Crowdcube. Our team is unanimous that the Notes crowdfunding campaign was a great success, standing out from their competition on Crowdcube thanks to their truly unique offering in a growing sector, passionate team and their strong determination to conquer the crowdfunding world once again.
Notes Crowdfunding – Their journey on Crowdcube
Notes’ crowdfunding campaign started exceptionally well – within the first 36 hours the brand was already overfunded. The crowdfunding campaign kept its momentum for the following days and stormed through the £1,000,000 marker at day 23. Their campaign came to an impressive close, with a total of £1,194,330 invested through 831 investors.
