Scale up brooo Demand is there

Ahhh dude I know I really want to. Need some help though! Open to suggestions, ideas 🧐

Maybe try to identify bottleneck(s) and figure out an engineering solution to minimize the bottleneck? Thats how I’ve always addressed scaling. For me my biggest bottleneck is trimming. The way I solved it was just hiring someone to help.

Are these edibles or just tasty treats? Im assuming edibles considering the weed pairing. If so, want lol

No the treats are just treats, we do a flower and treat collaboration. But edibles by Oshi are on the horizon.

👀👀

What product is it exactly? Good job friend

No not infused YET, but these are very good. One can call them a “protein” bar, but I dare not to call them that. It’s a great tasting experience 🤤

Hmm, well there’s certainly a number of friction points: sorting through the pecans / shells could potentially be tweaked but it’s difficult for me to figure out how. Even packaging everything myself, so there’s multiple fronts to be addressed. Wish I had some funding or something lol

Maybe you can crowd source some startup funds. If you had a concrete plan to effectively scale and address bottlenecks and could put a price on what you needed, then presell a bunch of reasonably discounted product with the goal of using funds upfront for scaling and fulfilling orders within a given timeframe afterwards. A lot like that website kickstarter. Another idea is you could offer also offer straight payouts to people who wanted to invest. Example: say you need 10,000,000 sats to satisfactorily scale your operation from where it’s at now to 10x monthly production capability (be it equipment, an employee, shop space, bulk input purchases, etc), you could offer terms like “a 2,000,000 sat investment will get a return of 2,200,000 in 6 months” contingent on the 10,000,000 sat total investment being fulfilled within your crowdfunding period (a week or a month or whatever). That way if you get what you need you can use the funds and scale, if it doesn’t get fully funded, you can return the funds. Would be nice if there was a way to escrow them. I think there is a service called Geyser that does this, may want to look into that and run the crowdfunding through them if the numbers work for you. I think you have enough attention on nostr to make it happen, it would just boil down to having a well-refined business plan to scale production and it being cost effective for you. So feasibility of the operation and then communicating to potential investors what scaling will make possible in terms of production on the other side. If you are confident in your plant then they will be too and are more likely to invest.

There’s a lot there to unpack! Hmm, the question I have for myself is how do I even know that I can scale this? Is this a good idea? I’ve never thought of funding and the thought of all this is rather intimidating

It’s all up to you Oshi. If you even want to scale, if you see a path to doing so, if you want to commit to the bit and take the commensurate risk there and if you want to dedicate more of your time and energy to growing your company. Only you have those answers, I was just presenting the concepts behind doing so as I know them.
