Wine Cork Recycling Service
Investment Pitch Deck

Why Now: Solve the Zero Waste Mandate

The core problem is that hospitality businesses face increasing pressure for zero waste hospitality and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reporting, but lack a simple, managed solution for cork waste. We turn a logistics headache into a marketing asset by providing a turnkey cork recycling solution that delivers verifiable impact data.

The Cost of Inaction

• Cork is 100% recyclable, but mostly landfilled today.
• Businesses need data for B2B sustainability reporting.
• Current waste solutions are complex and costly.

What We Do: Managed Subscription Service

We offer tiered monthly subscription services (Basic, Premium, Enterprise) for commercial cork collection, paired with optional Add-on Impact Reporting Service. We will win by leveraging low Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), projected to drop from $450 in 2026 to $325 by 2030, and driving efficiency in logistics for waste collection.

Our Financial Levers

Here's the quick math: In 2026, we plan to acquire 400 new customers ($180,000 budget / $450 CAC). With an estimated 45% of those customers opting for the Basic Tier ($150/month) and 35% for the Premium Tier ($300/month), we establish strong recurring revenue streams immediately.

• Focus on high-margin subscription tiers.
• Variable costs (Logistics, COGS) decrease from 17.7% to 13.3% by 2030.
• Achieve break-even in 10 months (Oct-26).

Who Buys: High-Volume Hospitality

Our primary customers are high-volume commercial entities: restaurants, hotel chains, and wineries that produce significant cork waste. The opportunity is substantial because we capture recurring revenue through subscriptions, targeting key segments like Wineries and Restaurants/Wine Bars. Our focus on co-branded marketing materials is a key sales hook.

Scaling the Model

The business model shows strong financial health early on. We require a minimum cash balance of $263,000, which we hit in February 2027, just months after achieving operational break-even. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is 3.69% and Return on Equity (ROE) is 3.72%, indicating stable, albeit early-stage, returns. By 2028, EBITDA hits $599,000.

• Target Wineries and large hotel chains.
• Subscription pricing ensures predictable monthly revenue.
• Customer mix shifts toward high-value Premium/Enterprise tiers (70% by 2030).
