Inside Brēz’s $25M SPV Raise for Retail and Product Growth

To fuel expansion, Brēz, the mushroom and THC-infused beverage brand, is raising money via a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). Here's what you need to know:

• After crossing $60 million in profitable revenue, CEO Aaron Nosbisch launched a $25 million SPV raise with a $25,000 minimum investment, aiming to accelerate retail expansion and reduce dependency on future funding rounds.

• The SPV model allows multiple investors to pool capital for a single investment, offering a faster, less restrictive alternative to traditional VC rounds. Over 600 individuals expressed interest, 30 investors already closed, and $2.1 million has been committed.

• Brēz expanded to 10 products over the last six months and will use the cash injection to grow their current footprint of over 2,000+ retail doors, including Sprouts, Wegmans, and Total Wine. THC-free offerings are helping the brand scale more quickly through mainstream retail.

• Nosbisch is personally managing investor outreach, promoting the raise on social media, and setting a one-month investment window for participation to prioritize those ready to commit quickly.

• Nosbisch plans to stay with Brēz long-term and avoid multiple funding rounds. He aims to create a secondary liquidity pool for future investor participation while maintaining company control.
