A Year In Review | 2020
2020 caught the world by surprise, forcing many industries to confront the vulnerabilities and weaknesses of their businesses and business models. In the alcohol industry, we saw both hardship and boom as Pandemic induced shutdowns shuttered bars & restaurants across the nation, but bolstered bottle sales through liquor stores and e-commerce platforms. Even so, only staple brands that were prioritized at retailers, and unique brands that pivoted with with direct to home, digital strategy benefited from these abrupt industry challenges and opportunities. We are excited – and humbled – to share we were one of these unique brands.
Key Performance Stats
Due to our early stage, and unique business model, the Company uses a variety of factors in which it measures past, current, and future performance. It is worthy to note that these figures were achieved during just (7) months of active offering time and in highly unstable economic conditions created by the global Pandemic.

Claiming Perks
Investor Perk Shopping Credits – up to 10% of your investments – are normally issued to your Member dashboard between 10 and 12 months from the date your investments clear. As you may have observed, the events of 2020 caused delays in our processing schedule. We have been successfully catching up on perk disbursements in recent months and will continue to do so as we are able!
Next Steps | Our 2021 Outlook
We are hard at work finishing year-end reporting requirements and mapping our plans to execute bigger and better in the upcoming year. To support these goals, we are planning on conducting a 2021 Prospectus Event by the end of the first quarter which will summarize where we have been, what we are doing, and where we want to go. The tenants of the 2021 Outlook include: Increasing the funding maximum under new Regulation CF rules to up to $3-$5M (a Series A); Inventory Production, Distributor Development, Expansion of Direct to Home (E-Commerce), Carry Request Infrastructure, New B2B Technology, and the introduction of new, visionary Club Privileges poised to take ONE ROQ where no lifestyle beverage brand has gone before.
We look forward to seeing all of our Members at this upcoming virtual event in planning.
Cheers,
The ONE ROQ Team
