OVERVIEW

 

The bubbly drink making waves across the globe is now more accessible to the American public In 1986 at a tea shop in Taiwan, 4 simple ingredients were combined, giving birth to the first Boba tea. Boba tea quickly became a cultural staple throughout Asia and reached global adoption by the early 2000s (source). With increasing popularity across the US in the last decade, its widespread consumption is only expected to grow.

THE PROBLEM

 

We believe Boba shops in the US are more concentrated on the coasts and have high operational costs

 

Despite worldwide growth and popularity, we believe boba in America is still highly concentrated on the coasts (source), primarily due to the high costs associated with building and operating a physical store. Many end up compromising quality in favor of using cheaper ingredients.

 

We believe there is still a huge untapped market of boba consumers within the US, which puts us at a great advantage for massive market capture!

Cost / Quality

 

While most boba shops have about 10 employees (source), Bobacino only requires one part-time employee, allowing for much lower operating costs. And while traditional boba shops have about a 4.9% profit margin (source), we expect Bobacino profit margins to be 31%!

HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT

 

Everything we love about boba, minus the hassle of running a shop!

 

By removing the expensive overhead of real estate and labor, Bobacino’s compactly designed Boba machines bring affordable, high-quality Boba to high-traffic areas.

 

The Bobacino delivers the most value for the least startup and operating cost. While opening a traditional sit-down costs $200k-$375 thousand per new location (source), Bobacino only costs $50k. Time to launch a boba shop usually takes up to one year, whereas Bobacino only takes a week or two. Because our machine is only 16 square feet and fairly easy to transport, the location options are nearly limitless! 

 

THE VISION

 

America’s favorite bubble tea

 

Our goal is to expand boba consumption in the US by providing an alternative treat & moment of escape beyond the typical specialty coffee experience. We will do so through key partnerships in new channels and geographies, while scaling consumer adoption through innovative delivery of customizable drink experiences.

 

OUR LEADERSHIP

 

A tight-knit team of innovators make up the mastermind behind the machine

 

Bobacino is headed by CEO Darian Ahler, along with a diverse team of four men and women with expertise in engineering and marketing. The Bobacino team consists of three engineers who have worked together to create our finished product: an interactive, stylish, fully-capable, automated boba machine that we can’t wait to introduce to the public!

WHY INVEST

 

The future of boba starts with Bobacino

 

As boba grows in global popularity toward an estimated $8.4 billion dollar value in 2024, it is time that this fun and classic drink becomes more accessible to the American consumer. We love the excitement of drinking boba, but we also know how expensive it is to run a high quality boba shop. We teamed up to create the Bobacino because we believed that there was an easier way to build a community of boba enthusiasts and deliver a variety of amazing flavors that would maximize the luxury of the experience while minimizing costs.
