Athletic Brewing Co.’s Post

By building Orange Bike Brewing Company to be more than just a brewery, we have placed representation and inclusivity at the forefront of all our decisions. That includes our stakeholders. More than a year ago, we had to turn away an investment from a (very disappointed) friend because she didn’t meet the SEC’s minimum income and assets requirements for accredited investors, reserved primarily for high-net-worth individuals and families. At that moment, we resolved to look for ways to allow a more diverse group of investors to participate in Orange Bike’s potential success. I’m excited to announce that we have partnered with Mainvest which allows investors of all income levels to support local businesses. You can invest as little as $100 in a revenue-share note detailed in the link below. We aim to raise $124,000 through this offering, which will close on October 20th.  If supporting our mission of building a more just and equitable business speaks to you, please check our Mainvest investment offering.
