A Collective Investment, Not a Gamble

If you have come this far, it means you are as excited about this company existing as we are. That means we are already in this together, standing in front of an opportunity—not just to invest but to collectively make it happen.

A Big Goal, Achievable in Just 17 Days

Here’s a powerful thought: If every person convinces just two others to invest the minimum amount, and this continues each day, we could reach our goal of €1.5M in just 17 days. This isn’t just about investing; it’s about spreading a movement that makes real change possible through collective effort.

Now ask yourself: Wouldn’t it be worth betting just €12.5 on this opportunity?

This memorandum aims to demonstrate that small investors can organize themselves and capitalize on companies with a clear mission. We believe that by funding The Onion Guy independently of traditional venture capital, we can preserve our mission and ensure that the future of this company remains focused on progress and empowerment for small investors.

Never Invest Alone

When institutional investors see an opportunity, they don’t go in alone. They bring in others, share the risk, and multiply their impact. That’s how companies like Uber, Airbnb, and Revolut were funded—through groups of investors who saw the potential early and acted together.

We’re doing the same, but instead of a handful of venture capitalists, we are building a powerful network of investors who believe in this mission. This isn’t a Ponzi scheme—it’s a network effect. The more people who invest, the stronger and more valuable the company becomes.

A wise investor doesn’t just invest—they bring others in. That’s how real opportunities grow. The bigger the pool, the greater the momentum. You’re not just betting on this company—you’re helping to build it.

Now ask yourself: Are you excited to tell two friends about this opportunity?

How the Investment Works

We are raising between €100,000 and €1.5 million. Instead of relying on a handful of large investors, we are inviting a broad community to co-invest.

Here’s how it works:

Minimum Investment: €12.50
Investment Breakdown:
- €10 of your contribution goes towards the company as seed capital.
- €2.50 covers platform fees and operational costs.
- This seed capital will later be converted into shares at a preferential price.

The EPOS system (read more here) ensures that early investors get better terms, rewarding those who take action first.

How You Can Cash Out

Once your investment is converted into shares, there are multiple ways to realize returns:

Liquidity Event (Exit through Acquisition or IPO):
- If The Onion Guy is acquired or goes public (IPO), investors will have the opportunity to sell their shares at market value.
- The valuation at that time determines the final price per share.
Company Buyback:
- The Onion Guy will offer investors the option to sell their shares back at a predetermined price once we reach 3 consecutive years of profitability.
- This provides a structured exit without waiting for an acquisition or IPO.
Secondary Market Trading:
- A private secondary market could be established, allowing early investors to sell their shares to new investors.
- This approach offers flexibility and a way for investors to cash out before a major liquidity event.
Dividends or Revenue Sharing:
- If The Onion Guy becomes profitable and generates strong revenue, investors could receive dividends or other revenue-sharing mechanisms as an alternative to selling their shares.

What Returns Can Investors Expect?

While investments always carry risks, let’s put things into perspective with real-world examples:

In 2010, a $10 investment in Airbnb’s seed round would be worth over $500,000 today.
A $10 investment in Uber’s seed round in 2010 would have grown to over $250,000 by the time of its IPO.
Glovo, a European food delivery startup, saw early investors multiply their initial investment by 100x or more when the company scaled internationally.

Like The Onion Guy, Airbnb, Uber, and Glovo all started as bold ideas. They were once small, underestimated ventures that turned into billion-dollar successes. The difference? They had early believers who saw the potential before the rest of the world caught on. We can prove that great ideas don’t need to rely on the same old venture capital playbook. We can build something extraordinary—together.

More Than Just an Investment

This is not just about the money—it’s about creating real impact.

The success of this movement depends not just on your investment, but on your willingness to explain what we are doing and inspire others to take part.

If you walk away from this feeling that change is possible, that we can build something meaningful, and that you are excited to tell your friends about it, then we have already won half the battle.

So, isn’t it worth betting just €10 to be part of this opportunity?

Invest, Share, Act.

This is not just an investment. It is a statement that we, as small investors, can fund companies we believe in. Time is on our side, but only if we move fast.

Join us. The future of The Onion Guy depends on all of us.
