Opportunities
Round Open
Pre-Seed Funding Round: $300,000 USD HachikoBox is raising a $300,000 Pre-Seed Round via SAFE to transition our high-momentum pipeline into live payment screens across major US markets. By replacing high percentage pizzerias/restaurants commissions (15-30%) with a flat, predictable $1.50 transaction fee—while securing an automated $0.25 donation for animal welfare at no extra cost to the diner—we have built a high-yield FinTech/SaaS ecosystem with an integrated organic growth engine. Allocation of Funds: Product Development & POS Integration (40% - $120,000): Finalizing the core MVP and completing the technical sandbox audits, security compliance, and API integrations required for official publication on the Toast and Shift4 partner marketplaces. Corporate & Legal Infrastructure (30% - $90,000): Completing US corporate structuring (Delaware LLC/C-Corp), securing secure processing frameworks, and establishing localized operations, banking, and communications channels. Go-To-Market & Pilot Execution (30% - $90,000): Launching the éles phase across our three primary high-density launch hubs: New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Funds will convert our secured restaurant pipelines (including Mezza Luna and Pizza Loves Emily) into transactional terminal volume. Why Invest Now? We offer a rare combination of immediate B2B utility (margin relief for restaurants), viral marketing (zero-CAC user acquisition driven by premier charities like PAWS Chicago and Hope for Paws), and massive transactional scalability via a single toggle switch on major POS networks.
User Acquisition Strategy
B2B2C Organic Growth Engine (Zero Customer Acquisition Cost) HachikoBox utilizes a powerful, self-sustaining growth loop powered directly by our non-profit partners and landmark restaurants, eliminating the need for expensive paid advertising. 1. Non-Profit Networks (Primary Driver) Animal welfare organizations possess highly engaged, emotionally committed digital communities with millions of followers. Because every order via HachikoBox guarantees a flat $0.25 donation at zero extra cost to the consumer, these organizations are heavily incentivized to actively promote HachikoBox as a primary recurring funding stream. Launch partners like PAWS Chicago (Chicago) and Hope for Paws (Los Angeles) will actively mobilize their massive local audiences to order from HachikoBox venues. 2. Restaurant-Led Hyper-Local Acquisition By offering a flat $1.50 transaction fee instead of crushing 15-30% commissions, restaurants naturally become our fiercest brand advocates. Partner venues will aggressively direct their online and dine-in customers to order through HachikoBox via in-store QR codes and social media to save their own profit margins. Landmark launch partners like Mezza Luna Pizzeria (NYC) provide immediate local trust and neighborhood adoption. 3. Three-Hub US Launch Strategy (NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles) We are launching our operations across three of the highest-density restaurant markets in the US: New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles. By leveraging established local non-profit and restaurant pipelines in these three strategic hubs, we generate immediate multi-city PR momentum. This localized density builds the brand equity required for rapid nationwide scaling.
