What you're investing in

A backyard growing app
for a $120B market.

plant is a mobile vegetable garden app for first-to-third season backyard vegetable growers — the largest underserved segment in gardening. Built around a zone-aware planting calendar, real-time weather alerts, and a local community, no existing app serves this user the way plant does.

$120B Global gardening market, 2024
55% of US households garden
18.3M New pandemic gardeners, 75% still growing
$34.99 Plant Pro annual · $6.99/mo option
  • Validated price point $34.99/year matches Planta — the category revenue leader at $35.99/yr. A $6.99/month option captures seasonal buyers. Blended ARPU with 80/20 annual/monthly mix is 28% higher than annual-only.
  • Kickstarter launching October 2027 $45K target funds the full iOS build. Seven backer tiers from $9 to $299, including zone-appropriate seeds, physical merch, and lifetime Pro. February 2028 delivery targets peak gardening season.
  • Lean cost structure Claude Code + senior dev oversight cuts build cost to $40–50K vs $65–93K for a traditional agency build. The founder's cinema production equipment eliminates $25–75K/year in content creation costs.

How it works

Simple terms.
Defined from day one.

1
Choose your amount & term
$1,000 to $25,000. Pick 12, 24, or 36 months. Your multiplier and total return are fixed before you sign — no moving parts. Total raise is capped — once we reach our target, this opportunity closes permanently.
2
Sign a Revenue Share Agreement
A straightforward legal document defining your exact return. We recommend independent legal review for investments over $5,000. We'll send the agreement — no pressure, no rush.
3
Payments begin
Quarterly payments start once plant reaches $5,000 MRR (around 144 Pro subscribers at $34.99/yr) — or 6 months post-launch, whichever comes first. You'll receive a statement with each payment.
4
Agreement closes at cap
Once your full agreed return is paid, the agreement ends. You keep every penny of your return. We keep the company. Clean close.

Revenue Share vs Equity — what's the difference?

Revenue Share — this offer
  • Fixed return agreed upfront — you know exactly what you'll receive
  • Payments start early — tied to revenue, not an exit event
  • No equity dilution — you don't own part of the company
  • No board involvement — invest and let us build
  • Lower risk profile — return is defined, not speculative
  • Best for friends, family, and early believers
Equity investment
  • Ownership stake in the company — unlimited upside potential
  • Return only on acquisition or IPO — often years away
  • Most startups never return equity capital
  • Often includes board involvement and reporting obligations
  • Higher risk — highly speculative for early-stage companies
  • Better for institutional investors betting on large exit

Limited raise. This opportunity is open to a small number of friends, family, and early believers. It is not available to the general public and will close once the raise target is reached. If you've been sent this page directly, you're already on the short list.

Investment returns

Every dollar defined
before you sign.

12-month term — 1.3x return Fastest payback. Lowest multiplier. Best if you want to support the project with a shorter commitment. Payments over four quarters.
24-month term — 1.6x return The most popular term. Positive ROI while the business is still early-stage. Balances return with reasonable patience.
36-month term — 2.0x return Highest return. Rewards patience. Appropriate for those with conviction in the long-term platform vision. Doubles your investment over three years.
What if growth is slower? If plant grows slower than projected, the payment schedule extends — but the total amount you receive does not change. Your full agreed return is always protected.
What if growth is faster? Payments accelerate. You could receive your full return ahead of schedule. The multiplier is fixed — we don't owe more, and you don't lose out.

Honest risk assessment

Every risk,
plainly stated.

We'd rather you go in with clear eyes than be surprised later. Here's what could go wrong and how we're managing it.

⚠️ The app might not reach revenue targets

Downloads may come slower than projected. If revenue is lower than expected, quarterly payments extend — but your total agreed return does not change.

Conservative projections used throughout. Lean cost structure. Kickstarter funds the build, not operations.

⚠️ Build delays or App Store rejection

Technical problems or Apple review issues could delay or prevent launch. This is the highest-risk scenario in any early-stage app.

React Native + Supabase stack is well-proven. Developer identified before build begins. 6-month payment backstop regardless of MRR.

⚠️ More competition than expected

A well-funded competitor could enter the food-growing space. App Store algorithm changes could affect organic discovery.

First-mover community advantage. Local feed becomes more valuable as density grows — network effects protect the position.

⚠️ Payments slower than schedule

Revenue share is tied to business performance. Slower growth means a longer — not shorter — payment period.

Minimum payment guarantee kicks in 6 months post-launch regardless. Total return is always protected.

A note from the founder.

I'm not raising from strangers. I'm asking people who know me — and who know I'll lose sleep over this if it doesn't work — to back something I genuinely believe in.

plant exists because I looked at the gardening app market and saw a lot of tools for people who already know what they're doing, and almost nothing for the person standing in a garden centre in March, holding a tomato seedling, completely unsure what comes next. That person is everywhere. No one is serving them well.

The revenue share structure is designed to be fair. You get a fixed, defined return. You don't need an exit event. You don't need to understand cap tables. If the business grows and you backed it early — that's a good outcome for both of us.

If you have questions, just ask. My door is always open.
