Territory of the product or service implementation
Canada
Traction and Current Status
The current stage of “Greedehaus” is unregistered, & no trademark, via the Pitch Phase. The business idea has a professionally- written business plan, & pitch deck, however it’s pre-revenue & moving from concept to launch. The IP, divisions, & prototypes are finalized with a detailed five-year plan, although there are no sales or clients yet. At this time, we have designed a partial percentage of the in-house roster of brand ambassadors, as well as tested some physical product, & we’ve crafted additional mock-ups for feature as minimum viable products via our Pitch Phase. We also have product & service designs for the Start-Up & Launch Phase.
Problem or Opportunity
“Greedehaus” is poised to become a valuable product & service provider because it solves the problem of both small-scale & large-scale creativity, while providing unique collectibles & experiences to its target markets. In the past, as the founder of “Greedehaus”, I have been hired in fields such as visual artistry, event-planning, wardrobe styling, visual merchandising, personal shopping, graphic design, marketing research, & mascot design; which all culminate as creative-based services. “Greedehaus” aims to serve collectors seeking narrative, scarcity, & craft. Our buyers may be underserved by licensed merch that lacks story ownership and continuity, because of commoditized fandom with no long-term value. We solve it by tying every design to self-authored “Aura” IP with documented edition data. In terms of proof, premium pricing already exists for creator-led IP in collectibles, art, & wardrobe, which supports our revenue model of seasonal capsules.
Solution
Via 3 design-inclined divisions, “Greedehaus” shall offer a variety of products, focusing on fashion-forward, collectible, & educational natures. This includes toys, apparel, lifestyle products, publications, & retail event experiences. We aim to solve the problem of a one-person team with big ideas, by instead co-ordinating our in-house roster of original character designs towards hire for brand collaboration as models & designers.
Customer Segments and Market
The “Greedehaus” customers are Urban millennial & Gen Z art enthusiasts in Canadian Metropolitan Areas, plus adults aged 25–55 seeking original, story-driven collectibles with documented provenance over licensed franchises. They are native to TikTok/Instagram buying, they collect art, they partake in cosplay, they’re event attendees, general collectors, & brand partners who find the in-house roster to be appealing, personally, or professionally. We are targeting Canada’s collectibles market with an original-IP niche over approximately 5 years.
Revenue Streams and Cost Structure
Via “Greedehaus”, we charge $50/hr for research/writing, $500/hr off-site & $5,000/day on-site presentation services, plus publication & merchandise revenue. It projects 69% gross margin, break-even Year 1, with sales growing from $140K revenue / $27K profit in Year 1 to $1M revenue / $183K profit in Year 5. The plan is debt-free, backed by a $1.55M CAD equity raise.
Business Model, Chanells, Metrics
“ Greedehaus” runs a service-led model using original character IP “Auras” (models) across three divisions: The Greedehaus Collective (consulting at $50/hr–$5,000/day), Taro Planetare (publications), & The Greedehaus Logo (limited merchandise). Everything connects through themed capsules, therefore ensuring our services, stories, & products drive recurring revenue & audience loyalty via digital & physical retail.
Competitors and Existing Alternatives
Competitors of “Greedehaus” include Happy Worker, Bedrock, PureArts, Park Studio, & FAN EXPO, but none combine original character IP with custom toys, events, & retail like our business idea. Customers currently typically see licensed-franchise collectibles that dominate Canada’s market.
Advantages or differentiators
“Greedehaus” possesses an indisputable advantage, via its self-authored “Aura” character IP. These original fictional characters originate concepts, carry narrative chapters, & they appear across every product, event, & service. The story, via “Taro Planetare”, explains each concept, & cannot be licensed or replicated by competitors who rely on external franchises. Additional non-copyable elements include documented provenance linking sketches, materials, & edition details to every item, plus a guerrilla design process that tests prototypes with real audiences before scaling, ensuring craft & narrative integrity that mass-market competitors can’t duplicate.
Risks
In terms of Key Risks, customers may stick with licensed franchises over original IP, & this would hurt the sales ramp, especially in a downturn. The $1.55M equity plan is capital-intensive; thus delays or cost overruns could strain cash. Competitors could copy capsule drops or events, & also, AI art may undercut hand-finished pieces unless provenance & the “Greedehaus” story stay central.

Money will be spent on
“Greedehaus” is currently intetested in sourcing $1.55M equity to incorporate & scale into physical retail. Funds cover the Pitch Phase ($5K for legal/business planning), the Start-Up Phase ($95K for prototyping), & the Launch Phase $1.45M (including product development $550K, touring kit $200K, equipment $150K, marketing $120K, IP $100K, & working capital $220K), to support five years of debt-free growth.
Offer for investor
The “Greedehaus” pitch deck outlines a $1,550,000 CAD equity raise to fund incorporation & five years of debt-free growth. We currently cannot specify a fixed equity percentage. During a meeting, I would be highly open to negotiation, based on valuation. Our goal for equity would to support product development, touring retail, IP protection, & team scale-up. Our priority is aligning with investors who value original IP, provenance, & long-term brand equity, therefore we’d discuss ownership terms that reflect the capital needs & the founder’s continued creative control.
