📊 How does ROI manifest from investing in PID?

When you invest in our pre-seed round, you're gaining the opportunity for significant returns through several avenues:

• Equity Appreciation: This is where the real magic happens. As we take off and establish ourselves in the event production industry, the value of our company will rise. Your current ownership stake of today translates to a share of a potentially much larger and more valuable company in the future. When we have an exit event, like an IPO or acquisition, you'll be able to sell your shares at a premium, pocketing the difference in value.
• Future Dividends: While we're focused on growth initially, down the road, we might choose to share our success with our investors through dividends. This means you'd receive a regular payout based on our profitability, providing a steady stream of income on your investment.
• Acquisition Potential: There's always the exciting possibility of a bigger player in the event production industry taking notice of our innovative approach. If that happens and we're acquired, you'll benefit from a premium payout on your shares based on the acquisition price.
• Risk assessment : Pre-seed investments are about high-growth potential, and that comes with inherent risk. There's no guarantee of success, and there's a chance you could lose your investment. However, we're confident in our team, vision, and the growing event production market. By investing with us now, you're getting in on the ground floor of a company with the potential for explosive growth and significant returns.

💥 Who would be a potential candidate for an acquisition deal?

While predicting acquisitions is tricky, a few big names come to mind for companies that might be interested in what we bring to the table. Here's how some potential suitors could be a great fit:

• Live Nation Entertainment, AEG Presents: Imagine the possibilities! Their global network for venues, artists, and ticketing could propel us to a whole new level in event production.
• Endeavor Group Holdings: Another industry giant, Endeavor could be particularly interested if our expertise complements their existing event production portfolio or grants them access to the kind of high-caliber artists we collaborate with.
• Sony Music, Universal Music, Believe Music: These companies are always trying to find better ways to produce events for their artists. Owning a LGBT event production company could put them on the map for an impactful presence in this community.
• MSG Entertainment: With their iconic venues like Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall, might be drawn to the potential of elevating their in-house event experiences through a strategic acquisition.
• Accor Group: Let's explore a French powerhouse! AccorHotels, a global leader in hospitality with a vast network of hotels and resorts across all segments, could be interested in acquiring our company to offer exclusive, high-end event experiences for their guests within their prestigious properties.

Strategic Alignment is Key. Beyond these specific companies, the ideal acquirer will be a company whose existing focus aligns perfectly with our strengths and target market. Geographic reach is another factor. An international event production company might be keen to expand into our local market through our expertise. Ultimately, the best fit will be a company with the resources to not only acquire us but also invest in our continued growth.
