Grind4dat | Application Preview
Grind4dat is applying for government grants to support the growth and operation of their business. The funding will be used for necessary permits, insurance, supplies and ingredients, costs associated with selling at events, and shipping to neighboring islands.
The business plan focuses on expanding distribution to nearby islands and participating in food expos and swap meets. They also aim to increase their presence on social media to attract clients for events like birthday and graduation parties, and are looking for a permanent location to sell their drinks five days a week.
The applicant believes that securing this funding will allow them to transition to running the business full time, enhancing their ability to reach more customers. They recognize competition from companies selling coffee and specialty drinks, but highlight their unique edge. Unlike competitors who primarily sell in stores, Grind4dat stands out at pop-up events and expos with exclusive drink offerings. Additionally, the business provides bottled drinks in both 16oz and 1/2 gallon sizes, with options for pickup or delivery, and is beginning to ship to neighboring islands.
