Founders Club Webinar #1 - August 26, 2026

We just wrapped the very first Founder's Circle webinar, and if you weren't able to join us live, we wanted to bring the highlights straight to you. This isn't your typical investor pitch. It's a conversation with our customers - the people who've built Republican Red from the ground up.  It's an invitation for you to become part of what comes next.

Over the next few minutes, you'll hear directly from our founder, Paul Johnson, on who our customers are, why the business is ready to scale, and why we chose crowdfunding over Wall Street. 

Let's start with the people who make Republican Red what it is.

We didn't build this brand in a vacuum. We built it by paying close attention to who's actually showing up — what they value, why they keep coming back, and what they want from a wine brand that doesn't apologize for what it stands for. In this clip, Paul breaks down exactly what we know about our customer base, and why that knowledge is one of our biggest assets going into this raise.

This next clip is where things get exciting. Paul walks through the traction we've built and why Republican Red is at an inflection point — the kind of moment where the right capital at the right time can accelerate everything we've already proven works.

So if the business is ready to scale, the next question is: why crowdfund instead of going the traditional route — a bank, a VC firm, private equity?

The answer is simple, and Paul lays it out here: our customers already know us. They already believe in what we're doing. Instead of handing equity to institutional investors who've never opened a bottle of Republican Red, we'd rather bring in the people who are already part of this movement — people who share our values and want to see this brand win. That alignment is worth more than any term sheet.

That's the story so far — who we serve, why we're ready to grow, and why we're choosing to bring our own customers along for the ride instead of handing the reins to institutional money.

Now it's your turn to be part of it.

Republican Red isn't just a wine brand — it's a growing movement built by people who believe in American craftsmanship, independence, and doing things the right way. The Founder's Circle is your chance to own a piece of it.

Here's the good news: reserving your spot is easy, and there's no commitment required today. When you reserve, you're simply letting us know you're in — no money changes hands until our SEC filings are finalized in the coming weeks. It costs you nothing to claim your spot now.

And when you reserve, you'll be personally invited to our next full webinar, where we'll walk through the entire deal in detail — the terms, the numbers, and all the specifics you need to make your investment decision with total confidence.
