CXN Angel Raise Allocation
CXN is seeking a strategic angel investment of $350K–$500K through a convertible note structure (Reg D, $100K+ increments) to fuel our next phase of growth. This carefully planned raise will provide an 18–24 month runway to achieve cash-flow positive operations.
Our funding strategy is designed with precision and accountability in mind. The convertible note structure offers flexibility for both investors and the company, while the substantial minimum investment threshold ensures we attract serious, committed partners who understand the chamber of commerce market opportunity.
The 18–24 month timeline is strategically chosen to align with our go-to-market execution and revenue milestones. This runway provides sufficient capital to execute our comprehensive growth strategy while maintaining the urgency needed to achieve profitability quickly. Every dollar raised will be deployed with discipline toward customer acquisition, market penetration, and sustainable growth.

Annual Revenue
Projected ARR by Year 3
Our growth projections are built on proven market demand and a scalable go-to-market strategy. The target of 200 chambers per month post-launch represents aggressive but achievable growth based on our pilot program success and market research.
Reaching 1,500+ chambers serving over 5 million members by Year 3 positions CXN as the dominant platform in the chamber technology space. This scale creates powerful network effects, making our platform increasingly valuable to both chambers and their members as adoption grows.
The projected $123M+ ARR by Year 3 reflects the massive market opportunity in chamber digitization and collaboration. Most importantly, our financial model shows break-even occurring between months 14-16, ensuring this investment round provides sufficient runway to achieve sustainable profitability.

Investor Takeaway
CXN represents a disciplined investment opportunity with a clear capital deployment strategy and measurable milestones. Our approach balances aggressive growth with financial responsibility, ensuring every dollar raised directly contributes to market capture and sustainable profitability.
Focused Allocation
55% directly on customer & market acquisition with balanced support for sales, retention, and product development
Disciplined Timeline
Runway designed to achieve a cash-flow positive status within 14–16 months with clear milestones
Strategic Alignment
Spend directly aligned with GTM strategy: digital-first, chamber partnerships, events, and referral networks
Our capital deployment strategy demonstrates deep understanding of the chamber market and proven execution capability. The majority of funds flow directly into customer acquisition channels that have already shown success in our pilot programs. This isn't speculative spending—it's scaling proven strategies.
The balanced approach to sales, customer success, and product development ensures sustainable growth rather than unsustainable customer churn. We're building a platform that chambers will depend on for years, not just adopt temporarily. This focus on retention and expansion revenue creates a more valuable, defensible business for investors.
Most importantly, our timeline to profitability is realistic and achievable. We're not asking investors to fund years of losses—we're asking for the capital needed to reach sustainable, profitable operations within a clear timeframe. This disciplined approach reduces investor risk while maximizing potential returns.
