Investment Opportunities: Crowdfunding
We’re inviting YOU to join us on a journey that’s bubbling with promise.
Since our launch in 2022, Boba Tea Café has introduced thousands of South Africans to a fresh, flavourful, and fun beverage experience.
We've created a local twist on the global boba tea trend — a proudly South African brand with authentic flavour profiles tailored for our people.
Now, we're ready to grow — and you can be a part of it.
We’re inviting our community, customers, and supporters.
Instead of looking to large investors or bank loans, we’re choosing to open this opportunity up to the very people who matter most — our community, customers, and supporters.
Crowdfunding allows us to:
-
Empower everyday South Africans to become part of a homegrown success story.
-
Raise funds transparently while giving backers meaningful rewards.
-
Build momentum through collective effort and shared belief in our vision.
This is your chance to contribute to a rising local brand and help bring our dream of nationwide expansion to life — one store at a time.
