Fort Defiance

UPDATE - WE DID IT! We did it! We met our goal and raised more than $100,000 -- in LESS THAN THREE DAYS. Fort Defiance and our community we're in this together. We always have been, but now it's official. When we succeed and profit, our community will profit with us.... It's been a long year, and the Fort Defiance team has been working so hard. This weekend, you told them that you trust us, you appreciate the work we're doing, and that you want us to keep on doing it. That's just what we all needed to hear right now. That's it. We expected this to take weeks, so we're a little at a loss for words. Investment is still open for a couple more days if you're still thinking it over link in bio. Thank you so much to everyone who invested, near or far you're all Red Hookers to us and we love you back. www.wefunder.com/fort.defiance

UPDATE SUNDAY 11:30am We launched less than two days ago, and we're already 66% towards our goal!!! Our community is amazing!!! ***... Invest in Brooklyn's Most Unsinkable Business: Fort Defiance! To fund our relocation to a bigger, better space a block away, we're raising $100,000 from our community (that's you!). A year ago this week, when fear and confusion about the pandemic were rampant, we came up with a plan to help we started stocking groceries and providing contactless pickups for our neighbors. That business grew into the Fort Defiance General Store, and will continue to serve Red Hook for years to come. Today, we're asking you to make an investment in a business you love. We're not asking for a Kickstarter-style donation this is a "revenue share loan," and a real regulated investment, with the potential for a real return. Here's how it works: -go to wefunder.com/fort.defiance -invest any amount of money ($250 minimum) -we promise to pay you back 1.25x your investment over time, and direct 2.5% of our revenue towards repayment It's really that simple. We quietly launched this campaign last night, and we're already 7.25% towards our goal. Let's get through this together! Thank you as always for your support.
