A business to fund the business.
Offer a coffee tasting service to local offices. At an assumed $200 fee and $80 in supplies and travel, 17 sessions contribute $2,040 toward the $2,000 launch budget. Confirm demand and local food requirements before taking bookings.
Your first moves.
01 · Find your first 10 coffee lovers
Interview local coffee buyers. Test two blends and ask what they would actually pay for a 12 oz bag.
02 · Get three roaster quotes
Compare minimum orders, freshness, private-label packaging, lead times, and food labeling requirements.
03 · Earn your launch budget
Pitch paid office tastings. Track the net contribution from each session in a separate launch fund.
04 · Launch a 100-bag pilot
Build a simple store, photograph the product, and open a small batch with a clear delivery date.
05 · Turn feedback into repeat orders
Ask every buyer for feedback after a week. Offer a monthly subscription only after you can deliver reliably.
