• Market Opportunity: Expanding its reach across North America, Ghost Town Oats is positioned to meet the growing demand for affordable and inclusive plant-based milk alternatives.  
• Growth Potential: Achieved over $1 million in revenue within its first year, with distribution in over 500 coffee shops and grocery stores, and a strong foundation for future expansion.  
• Strategic Positioning: A Black-owned, ethically-driven company that prioritizes diversity, community support, and accessible, high-quality products in the plant-based beverage industry.  

Ghost Town Oats is a unique oat milk brand founded by three experienced baristas, focused on making high-quality, accessible oat milk available to a broader demographic. Driven by the goal of breaking oat milk’s association with exclusivity, the company aims to make its plant-based product relatable and accessible to everyone, especially underrepresented communities that may benefit from dairy alternatives. With a strong, community-driven approach, Ghost Town Oats has successfully reached over $1 million in revenue within its first year and is available in over 500 coffee shops and grocery stores across North America.

This fundraising effort on Wefunder is intended to expand Ghost Town Oats’ reach and production capacity, allowing it to bring its inclusive oat milk brand to even more people. By offering equity to its supporters, Ghost Town Oats invites both baristas and community members alike to invest in a growing brand that emphasizes diversity, quality, and accessibility in the plant-based milk market. This fundraising aligns with the company’s mission to create a world-changing business and empower investors from all backgrounds to be part of its continued growth.
