You've read the thing. If any part of it landed, this is the step that matters — an hour, in person if we can manage it. Not a sales meeting. The terms in the plan have blanks in them on purpose, and the people who show up early are the ones who fill them in.
Touring and negotiating rooms — not signing yet. Conversations before this shape what the space has to be, so this is the useful window to talk.
Four shops and six brands, signed. Nobody is charged until that threshold is met. If it isn't met, every commitment is released and nobody has paid anything.
October is buildout and soft launch — move in, rig the room, start shooting highlights. Hard launch in November, once the founding group is finalised and outdoor harvest chaos is behind everyone.
That came through. I read every one of these myself and I'll come back to you within a couple of days — usually faster.
In the meantime, the most useful thing you can do is post what your business needs on the board. That's how the network decides which service partners to go find, and early posts carry the most weight.
An hour. In person if you're close enough, on the phone if you're not. I'll tell you what's decided, what isn't, and where your business would sit.
We come to your spot and build a sizzle reel of it — the room, the plants, the process, the details nobody photographs well. Shot and cut in our image style, the way a brand that matters gets covered. If you want to be on camera, we add a talking head and you're established as a brand partner rather than a logo on a list.
You see it published. That's the proof — not a plan for what the media could look like, but the media itself.
Whether it's worth paying for monthly. You can answer that honestly once there's something to point at, which is the only kind of yes worth having.
Sending this form commits you to a conversation and nothing else. No money changes hands at this stage or at any stage before ten commitments are signed. There's no exclusivity, no equity, and no lock-in on who you sell to or work with — and if membership stops being worth it later, you finish your term and go.
Dues — $200–$400 a month by tier, most brands near $300.
Show up — dues get you in the door; showing up is what builds value into them. Every week you're on the show, your brand is showcased by default.
Supply product for content — consumer amounts, for shoots. You get every asset.
Bring one — one brand a year you think deserves a look.
That's the whole obligation. Everything else — governance, tiers, the drop calendar — gets decided with the founding members rather than handed to them.
The Plan — the full case, twelve sections.
Founding Pitch — the short version.
Market Analysis — what the Maine numbers actually say.
Financial Model — change the numbers yourself and see if it holds.
Every page takes notes at the bottom. If something reads wrong, say so there — it gets answered, not filed.
