The Opportunity
Why Now.
Why MPWR.
The independent media landscape is at an inflection point. Legacy outlets are haemorrhaging trust. Audiences are actively seeking alternatives — but most independent creators lack the infrastructure to sustain serious journalism at scale.

Proven Audience
198K subscribers and 15.3M views built entirely organically. This isn't a hypothesis — it's validated demand.
Elite Engagement
51.6% engagement rate — 5× the industry average. This audience shows up for every piece of content.
Accelerating Growth
+275% view momentum year-over-year. The Tea is growing faster now than at any point in its history.
Subscription-First
Following the proven Zeteo / Dropout playbook. Premium content behind a paywall — not dependent on volatile ad markets.

Transparency
Risk Factors
We believe in full transparency. Please consider these factors carefully.
Early-stage venture with limited operating history. The Tea channel launched approximately one year ago.
Revenue model is pre-revenue at scale. Subscription and membership tiers are in development.
Content-driven businesses carry key-person risk. The brand is closely tied to Dr. Francois's personal profile.
Independent media faces platform risk. Algorithm changes on YouTube could affect reach and discovery.
SAFE notes do not guarantee equity. Conversion depends on a qualifying financing event.
