Company Description

Scoot! Cold Brew is a cold brew coffee producer. Our cold brew is different from others as we brew our coffee with just a little bit of honey to reduce any lingering bitterness and acidic, sour notes that are common to other cold brews on the market.

We're different in that we sell our coffee in bulk and in reusable glass bottles to reduce waste. This reduces harm to the environment and saves both the business and customers time and money. Additionally, our coffee can replace the need for wasteful single-serve machines such as k-cups. You can enjoy cold brew hot or cold by simply using a frother. And our concentrate allows you to enjoy your coffee either black or as a latte, mocha, frap, or any other way you would as with an espresso.

Lastly, we're not just another coffee shop––we're a different kind of business. We believe business leaders have a responsibility to their community and the world. We must ensure we are not exhausting our resources but rather optimizing them, that we are taking steps toward a healthy living environment, and most importantly, making decisions that promote well-being for all.

We’re just getting started, but for us this means paying our employees a living wage, caring for them both physically and mentally, composting our single use products, and thinking of innovative ways to support the community. One example of this is through a cup discount. Rather than offering a cup discount that is insignificant, customers that bring in their own cup or used cups to be composted will be creating a fund that will be directed to local schools for supplies so teachers and families don’t have to pay for them out of pocket. This is just one small way we can make a big difference.

Valuation

Security Description

Secured debt is debt backed or secured by collateral to reduce the risk associated with lending. If the borrower on a loan defaults on repayment, the debt holder can seize the collateral, sell it, and use the proceeds to pay back the debt. Assets backing debt or a debt instrument are considered as a form of security, which is why unsecured debt is considered a riskier investment than secured debt.
