About the Campaign

We’re back on Seedrs! Since our initial public raise in December 2020, the business has gone from strength to strength and following further investment from our existing backers at Fuel Ventures, we’re delighted to be able to offer another opportunity for the Seedrs community to join us on our journey.

If you're an existing investor who wants a reminder, or if this is your first time coming across our business, here’s the background on what we do, and why (we think) we’re the best at it!

Market Opportunity

Running a hospitality business is hard, and most of the costs are fixed. High street rents, business taxes, staff wages all need paying, no matter how many diners visit.

In 2024, delivery is a vital part of any site’s revenue mix, with the global food delivery market set to grow 18% per year and reach a size of $280B in 2031. We’re experts in this field and work with kitchen operators to make sure they succeed in a ferociously competitive market.

Traction & Key Accomplishment

We’ve been hard at work since we last raised on Seedrs, and are proud of what we’ve achieved! Here are some of the key figures from our journey so far:

• £63,000 - the monthly sales our partners can reach, which is transformational for their businesses

• 5,300 - Our number of live virtual restaurants, making us the largest operator in the UK!

• 370% - Our average annual GMV growth rate*

• 300 - The number of sites we've rolled out to with Stonegate Group, the UK's largest hospitality operator with 4,800 pubs, following their investment in our business

• 40 - How many fully developed food concepts we've launched

• 6 - The number of countries we're active in, these are the UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and the UAE

*based on unaudited management accounts.

Team

Peckwater Brands was founded by Sam Martin, the ex-head of innovation at Uber Eats, and Leo Bradshaw, an ex-strategy consultant with experience in marketplaces, aggregators, and tech firms.

We’ve built an incredible team of 50+ at our London office, with experience from businesses such as Amazon, Deliveroo, Deloitte, Delivery Hero, GDK, Uber Eats, Zomato and are ready to accelerate our growth!

Business Model

We create digital food brands with a data driven approach, with menus optimised for food delivery.

We train our partners to execute these brands, and maximise their performance through operational support targeting key variables on delivery platform algorithms.

We help our partners use their existing kitchen capacity to its full potential by generating up to £63,000 of incremental sales per month, adding to their revenue without adding to their fixed costs, and improving choice for consumers!

Use of Funds

• Create new brands to capitalise where the data tells us there are gaps in the market, opening up new cuisine verticals we can deploy across our estate

• Upgrade our bespoke operations management platform, increasing the efficiency of our team, and reducing our cost to serve

• Improve and expand our data science tooling

• Accelerate our European expansion by growing our sales team, improving our coverage in France and the DACH region and establishing us as the European market leader

Key Information

Share Classes:

The company currently has 4 classes of shares, Ordinary, A Ordinary, A2 Ordinary and B Ordinary (Non-Voting). All investors in this round, including Seedrs investors, will be receiving A2 Ordinary shares.

Holders of Ordinary, A Ordinary, & A2 Ordinary shares will receive voting rights. B Ordinary (Non-Voting) Shareholders form the option pool and will not receive voting rights.

Liquidation waterfall:

The A2 Ordinary and A Ordinary shares each carry a 1x non-participating preference on a liquidation, return of capital or exit which has been drafted to be EIS eligible.

This means that on a liquidation, return of capital or exit, the proceeds will be distributed as follows:

(1) First, A2 Ordinary Shareholders will receive 1x their initial investment amount back;

(2) Second, A Ordinary Shareholders will receive 1x their initial investment amount back;

(3) Finally, the Ordinary Shareholders will share in the remaining proceeds pro rata to the number of shares held,

Provided that if the A2 Ordinary Shareholders or the A Ordinary Shareholders would be entitled to a greater amount if the proceeds were distributed to all shareholders on a pro rata basis (according to the number of shares held), then the above waterfall will not apply and the proceeds shall be distributed to all shareholders pro rata. Please also refer to the section entitled “Stonegate” below.

Convertible Loans:

The company has the following outstanding convertible loans, which will not convert to equity as part of this round but may dilute shareholders in the future:

1. £4,459,864.00 of unsecured convertible loan notes from various individual investors, with the following key terms:
• Interest rate: 1% per annum (only payable if the convertible loan is repaid on the longstop date or on a winding up event)
• Discount: 20%
• Qualified Financing - the Company raising an equity round of £10m or more
• Non-Qualified Financing - the Company raising an equity round of less than £10m
• Valuation Cap: £90,000,000
• Repayment date: 8 June 2028

- Conversion or repayment triggers:

(1) On Qualified Financing, the loan will automatically convert into the highest class of shares at the lower of (i) a 20% discount to the price of the Qualified Financing or (ii) the Valuation Cap.

(2) On Non-Qualified Financing, the Investor Majority can, with the consent of the Company, elect to have the loan automatically convert into the highest class of shares at the lower of (i) a 20% discount to the price of the Non-Qualified Financing or (ii) the Valuation Cap.

(3) On the Maturity Date, the Investor Majority can elect to have the loan plus accrued interest repaid.

(4) On a change of control, the loan will convert into the highest class of shares at the lower of (i) the lowest price paid for the Company’s shares in the change of control and (ii) the Valuation Cap.

(5) On a winding up event, the loan plus accrued interest becomes immediately repayable
Please note that the terms of the CLN can be varied by agreement of the Company and the Investor Majority.

Group Structure:

Investors in this round are investing in and will become shareholders of Peckwater Investments Ltd (12284429). This is the holding company for the group. There a 14 subsidiaries within the group which are outlined in the Org chart below:

These subsidiaries are wholly owned except for Peckwater Brands (NKD) Limited (13804935), which was previously a joint venture entered into in the Middle East taking over an existing business. Peckwater Investments Ltd still holds a controlling stake of 51% in the business.

Stonegate:

The company has entered into an additional commercial arrangement with a previous investor and current shareholder Stonegate Group, whereby Stonegate, upon a liquidation or exit, shall be deemed to hold additional A2 Ordinary Shares (representing up to 22.8% of the Fully Diluted Share Capital of the Company) subject to strict performance metrics.

These include the number of sites introduced to Peckwater by Stonegate and the performance level of such sites.

Please note, given the nature of these rights, they have not been factored into the pre-money calculation of the round but would (if achieved by Stonegate) represent future dilution to investors on an exit or liquidation.

Investing involves risks, including loss of capital, illiquidity, lack of dividends and dilution, and should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Please read the Risk Warnings before investing. Investments should only be made by investors who understand these risks. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future.

This campaign for Peckwater Brands has been approved by Seedrs Limited (trading as Republic Europe) ("Republic Europe", "us" or "we"), as of 17 May 2024 as a financial promotion. Republic Europe is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority with firm reference number 550317. In approving this campaign, Republic Europe has concluded that the information, taken as a whole, is "fair, clear and not misleading." This means that for factual statements we have reviewed evidence of their accuracy, and that for aspirational statements we believe they are phrased appropriately in light of their speculative nature. You should note that in the case of factual statements, the evidence we review is provided by the business, and we do not audit it, which means that we may not be able to identify forged or altered evidence. You should further note that in the case of aspirational statements, the nature of the type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform is such that they are likely to have high ambitions, and we may approve statements that convey those ambitions even where we do not believe, or we do not have a view on whether it is likely, that they will be fully realised. The pre-money valuation and investment sought in the campaign are those set by the business: they are not reviewed or established by us, and the valuation is not an independent view of what the business is worth. Given the nature and type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform, it is possible that the business has very little cash remaining prior to receiving this investment, and the investment sought may be necessary for the business's on-going existence.

Republic Europe does not make investment recommendations to you. No communications from Republic Europe, through this website or any other medium, should be construed as an investment recommendation. Further, nothing on this website shall be considered an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security to any person in any jurisdiction to whom or in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. Republic Europe does not provide legal, financial or tax advice of any kind. If you have any questions with respect to legal, financial or tax matters relevant to your interactions with Republic Europe, you should consult a professional adviser.

Tax Relief (SEIS)

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £79,996,342

This is the fully-diluted pre-money valuation of the business (i.e. before the new investment comes in and including issued options and other equity interests). In contrast, the post-money valuation is based on inclusion of the new investment in the value.

It is calculated as the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new investment. e.g. If Company A is ascribed a pre-money valuation of £1,200,000 by prospective investors investing £300,000, its post-money valuation is £1,500,000.

The investee business is responsible for setting its own valuation, it has not been prescribed by Seedrs.

Pitch type

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Learn more about pitch type on Seedrs

Equity Offered

The equity offered is the percentage of the company’s shares being issued in return for the amount of investment raised.

When the amount raised is less than 100%, the equity offered is based on the target raise. Once the company has raised over 100% it is based on the total raised.

In some scenarios, entrepreneurs may accept additional direct investment after closing their Seedrs campaign. Provided this is within 6 months of the closing and on the same terms, we do not typically offer pre-emption rights on that extra investment (where you have the opportunity to invest again to maintain your percentage shareholding).

Learn more about investing and pre-emption rights.

Nominee investment

This shows if you are able to choose, when making an investment, that you be represented by, and your shareholding be managed by, the Nominee investment.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Seedrs will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Seedrs will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Seedrs will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Secondary market

This shows if the business has opted-in or opted-out of allowing its shares to be bought and sold on the secondary market.

Direct investment

This is an option to invest and hold shares 'directly' in the company (rather than via the Nominee investment). This option is only available to those investing over the threshold amount, which is determined by the fundraising company.

If you choose to hold your shares directly, you will be responsible for any contractual or administrative arrangements with the company you are investing in.

Payment options

We are not able to accept card payments for investments into this sector. You can pay for your investment by creating a bank transfer, using funds in your investment account or create a Pay by Bank payment. Your investment will only be completed once the funds have reached our account.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale. As a result, the Campaign and post-investment experience, including investor rights, will differ from a business-led campaign on Seedrs. Most notably, the business will not engage with investors in the discussion forums both during and after the sale or provide any updates to investors.
