Guaranteed success for early actors
13. Our non-profits initiatives
Get Groomed. 2019
Reduced price
for charities like
the Haven
Partnership with
Brixton Soup Kitchen
for free quarterly
events
The reasons we are doing it
• Barbershops can be
complicated areas for
vulnerable people.
• To Help gain confidence before
potential interviews.
• To give back to the community
• To give visibility to local
charities
14. Our Social impact
Get Groomed. 2019
Current Social Impact : 6.4% - 6.4 free services
provided to charities for 100 paid customers.
Our goal : 11.5% (by the 2nd Quarter 2020)
Why 11.5% ? Our current situation doesn’t allow us
to reinvest as much as we would like in social
impact. With our forecast, we can reach a 5%
growth in social impact in 18 months.
Once we reach our goal, we can focus on user
growth while maintaining our social impact to
ensure both positive cashflow and impactful
social improvements.

16. Our pre-seed funding
Get Groomed. 2019
With a growing start-up with reputation, it becomes difficult to manage the company as a side
gig.
investments are required to secure the no. 1 position & full coverage of London by Oct. 19.
A mobile app is needed to improve the user experience.
The infrastructure costs might be challenging our cost-efficient strategy
Need to scale our offer up to ensure there are enough bookings for barbers and enough barbers
for the bookings.
This is for those reasons that we are planning to raise £250.000

18. Our 18 months strategy
Get Groomed. 2019
• Corporate offers are bringing large percentage of revenue while requesting little
effort but the demand highly depend on the season.
• While B2C bookings offer a steady 20% margin, B2B offers allow us to negotiate
between 50 and 70% of profit.
• “Home” bookings demand is growing steadily and constantly.
• We are planning on using the revenues provided by our B2B offers to help the
growth of our B2C offer, this includes area-specific recruitment & marketing.
