How it Works

inKind is an online platform providing a vehicle through which restaurateurs can raise capital from members of their local community using a site specifically tailored to the food and beverage service industry. The restaurateurs have complete control and responsibility over their concept. Each concept has a projected funding goal and deadline. If the community likes the concept, they can invest money to help meet the goal in exchange for food and beverage credit. Once a restaurateur has shown demand for their concept by raising food and beverage credit (Phase One), they are able to take larger investments in exchange for equity, as well as continue to sell investments.
