THE OUTCOME

What Success Looks Like

Everything in this proposal is built to reach one outcome. If we don't get here, we haven't done our job.

Dream Outcome

Farm Sanctuary secures $4M to acquire a 200-acre heritage property near Kingston, Ontario, and launches Canada's first integrated regenerative farm, wellness retreat, and farm club membership model.
ClimateDoor finds the right impact investors who understand both the returns and the vision, builds the investor-ready package, and runs a targeted outreach campaign to close an anchor investor and complete the raise.

Goals and Deliverables

Review and audit investor materials: pitch deck, financial model, data room, and impact narrative to ensure investor readiness.
Build targeted investor lists focused on impact/regenerative agriculture/agri-hospitality investors: Personal 100, Hot 500, Warm 1,000.
Run investor outreach campaign with warm introductions and strategic positioning to close an anchor investor first, then fill the round.
Explore non-dilutive opportunities: regenerative agriculture grants, Indigenous partnership models, farm-stay hospitality programs.
Evaluate and structure loans model alongside equity to optimize the capital stack and reduce dilution where possible.

Minimum Win

Secure anchor investor commitment, complete investor-ready materials audit, and build active pipeline of 10+ qualified investor conversations.

What We Heard

The mixed-use nature of the project (hospitality + agriculture) makes traditional financing difficult: farm credit agencies say the revenue is hospitality, banks say it's too complex and risky.
Maria and Gustavo have already spoken to and identified the right land for the project near Kingston, Ontario.
A loans model is being explored alongside equity to structure the capital raise in the most favorable way.
