public.com for more info. (upbeat music) - Going public Hammitt scene 7453.5. (upbeat music) Today's a big day. I think it's really important to stop and just celebrate a victory, celebrate a win, from adding that retail store and the entire retail team to 200 new wholesale boutique
partners around the country, I mean, it's been unbelievable. We came out of 2020 at
little over 17 million. When we started 2021, we set our sales goal at 21 million, ha, ha, Andrew, we raised it every month, we're celebrating the team together. - We got everybody here. - I'm excited, let's get in there and let's do this. - Yeah, let's go. - And of course at the end of today, we're gonna set a big goal for next year. (Tony laughs) (upbeat music) You guys ready to party? (crowd cheering) Thank you for coming. This is our first big bash, I don't think we've all looked dressed up like this ever, right? For the employees and
our team in two years, it was great. So, hi, I'm Tony. - Jason. - Hi, what company do you work for? - Hammitt. - I heard the owner is
really good looking. (all laughing) - Hi, everyone. - [All] Hi, everyone. - Thank you everybody for
all the extra work you did. - Angel, are you one year now? - A year and a half. - Is it a year and a half? We brought everyone together to celebrate the biggest year we've ever had. How's everyone doing? - [All] Good. - I just wanna for myself
say, thank you everybody, you guys came through, individually and as a team, and today it's about you, that thanking you for accomplishing what I think is the incredible, something that very few brands, let alone handbag brands could have done, and I know I sound really serious, so, I'm gonna break that and say, "You guys are unbelievable." Thank you everybody, thank you, you should be so proud of yourself. - Yeah. - And traditionally you do a countdown to celebrate the end of the year, but I think we're gonna do a count up. We started the year with 21.
[All] 21. - Then maybe 27. - [All] 27. - But then we really pushed in thought, we might hit 30. - [All] Uh, uh. - And our sales for the year were 32, 32 million.
(wine popping) (crowd cheering) Thank you. - You should be so proud of yourself, 32 million in sales? (crowd cheering)
Thank you everyone. - And we did it the right
way, the Hammitt way, they bought it, they carried it 'cause of you. (crowd cheering) I thought maybe this could be something we could do a couple years from now, and this party was to
really say thank you. (wine popping)
[Both] Oo ooh. - This award goes to the team that drives the sales every day. Congratulations sales. (crowd applauding) Oo ooh, who do you think the super squad is? That would be the marketing team. (crowd cheering) - It felt great to recognize and to thank everybody
for all the hard work. Warehouse team, MVP, and the effort, and the creativity and everything they put
in through the year. - Alex, get up here, Rookie of the Year. (crowd cheering) - Dan, Helping Hand for everybody. (crowd cheering) - Chidy, Chidy, Chidy, Chidy. (upbeat music) When did you buy your
first Happy Bike, honestly? - I haven't bought one yet. - Oh, is it true?
Oh my God! - And think if I want an
investor to know anything, this is just who we are, to us, this is just one more celebration on the way to something much bigger. Do you think it's time to
set 2022 goals already? - I hope we'll do 45
million or more sales year. - We want people that are
in it for the long haul. That will be amazing. 'Cause it takes a long time to build what we're building, but guess what? That's how the greatest brands
in the world were built, not overnight. (crowd cheering) Hi, it's Tony from Hammitt. As we wrap up the 10
episodes of going public, I wanted to have a couple of moments with just you and I. Hammitt wasn't built
in the last 12 months, over 13 years ago, I had a personal vision to bring luxury back to America, and we've been able to build
it one person at a time, and here we are approaching
800,000 Hammitts already out there. You can see the growth story, 80% growth rate in 2021, and I want you to join me today. Go to invest.hammitt.com and please join us on building the next great
American luxury brand. From the fashion showroom
to the auto garage, let's take a look at one of the companies joining Going Public next season. - I've been racing since the 70s. I can say that there is no feeling like crossing the bricks of Indianapolis, completing the 24 hours of Lamar and winning a race. The feeling is always the same, the acceleration, excitement and that passion has
followed me my whole life. I have made it my mission to bring race performance to the street, and that is exactly what
I've done for 40 years. We have become one of the
premier performance manufacturers in the world, known to every racing
enthusiast by one name, my name. I'm Steve Saleen, and for the first time I'm offering Saleen the company up for public investment. This is your opportunity to join me in bringing out exciting
new Saleen products and what I'm planning next will actually shock the world. We are bringing Saleen S1 to market, we'll be introducing the Saleen Bronco and we're going electric. - All right, Mr. TK, guess who's in the house? - Hey, Tim. - Hey, Terry, what's going on man? - Not much man, How are you doing? I am the co-founder of KairosXR, we are a development agency, we specialize in developing, designing, and training education
content using virtual reality and augment reality. But the core difference
between virtual reality and augmented reality, is the fact that you have
an entirely virtual world around you in virtual reality, versus augmented reality where you're displaying virtual objects in the real world. - The big problem that we have is that students don't have access to these high-end IT environments, these high-end, really expensive hardware, we can provide training around it, but building that into a virtual or augmented reality environment, is really going to help our students learning knowledge transfer, and just get what they can't get, unless they were really truly in field. - Right, NexGen T is a
technology company at its core, it's always been about pushing the boundary using innovation to enable rural world skills training. - So, what we prepare for today, are these RPs that we could have in our innovation lab? - So, Tim's here to show us a few demos how AR and VR, we could
apply to our current tracks and immerse students without
the actual physical space. - We just have the log in page here, and this is what the students would see if they put on the VR headset, or if they're on their desktop. - This is the companion
application to the VR, or you could say the VR is the companion application of this. If that said the student logs in, and from there they can choose which piece of equipment that they like, we can click on this piece, we can explore different parts as well, we can zoom in, we can zoom out. Here's a little... And I think we can also do it where individual components
can pull out, right? - Oh, absolutely. - Your imagination is
the only limitation here, we can head in any
direction that we want to. - I could see us going
so many places with this. While our competition is training in a classroom with a whiteboard, we're taking it to the next level to teleport students into data centers. We could do it in real time that can be replicable
and scaled to the masses. - It's going to allow us
to reach a lot more people in a deeper and more
effective learning method than we were able to before. - Lets go take a look at
the reality experience. - Let's do it. (upbeat music) Oh yeah, this is Quest 2. - Of course it has the lenses, right? That's where you're gonna look through. - Right, right.
Yep. - And once you put it on you're gonna be in the virtual world, again you won't be able to
see anything around you. - Yeah, let's check it out. NGT Academy platform. - Whoa, wow, this is so cool. - [Jacob] Yeah, I can see the
racks Terry's seeing here. - Oh yeah, so like... - Like you can just go
ahead and walk around. - These two racks. (all laughing) - From my perspective, IT training, especially as it pertains to hardware is one of the prime use cases for virtual reality and
augmented reality training. - I see all my switches right here, patch cable, this is really, really cool. - Awesome. - I could actually go
360 around this rack. - Do you feel like you're
really in the room with it? - Yeah, well, I'm like
you see me like moving, I feel like I'm gonna hit it.
Punch it, yeah. - Come check it out, you wanna look?
Yeah. - Let's go look at the virtual field trip. Oh, it was amazing, being able to see myself
teleport into these rooms, I mean, it was like a dream come true, it's everything I imagine
using this technology and to be able to go into these immersive environments. - There we go, look at...
Oh, yeah, there we go. - Walking down a cold aisle.
This is cool. - What's so great about
AR and VR as components to a training program, is it really helps us to be
able to blur that in-person versus remote aspect in the training. That's a really huge advantage, really does set us at
that higher caliber bar where we're on the cutting
edge of training and learning. - Now, in an actual training experience, obviously if a student
were to come walking down just like Jacob did, we would have extremely high fidelity because the learning
objectives revolve around these components, right?
I see. - So, this is the part that needs to be as high fidelity as possible. - Yeah, this is huge for us 'cause we don't have to
spend all this capital to create these physical environments, data centers or hardware
and server equipment, we could actually just simulate it. I'm loving our first proof of concept. - Whoa.
Just being able to see it, in the platform come to life... - [Jacob] Seeing is believing, I almost ran into the wall here. (all laughing) - Amazing. - Awesome.
Wow! - Amazing Tim.
Yeah. My favorite part about the whole thing was I was in an actual IT data center, I was like, "Holy smoke, this is amazing." And my mind was going wild with the ways that we can actually use this to really make our
training that much better. Now, let's take it to the next level with higher fidelity, real actual modeling where you won't be able
to tell the difference between the gear and real life or in the virtual environment. - We always want to push the envelope when it comes to immersive training, and we believe AR VR is gonna
be a real differentiator. - NexGen T we will have the highest fidelity virtual
data center in the world. - That's it. - All of the students
will be going through. - Love it. - Love it, excited. - How'd you folks, Jacob and Terry here, and this is the last episode of the "Going Public" show. So, there's limited time to invest and join us on our mission. - And we've lowered the minimum to $250 to get a piece of NGT. We've raised over $18.1 million from institutional VCs. Now, we've opened this
round to the public, time is limited, if you love our mission and you want to change people's lives, you can be part of our journey by just visiting, invest.ngt.academy. Next up we have a new type of offering coming your way for season two. We've heard on this show that investing can be a
balance of art and science. Well, that is certainly true
with this upcoming story, check it out. (tense music) - Artwork to me is the greatest form of communication in humankind. It's what moves humanity. Treasure Investments Corporations started as a fine art company
based around sculptures. We own the largest master mold collection in the world consisting over 250 artists and over 2000 original images. It's biblical it's
historical, it's wildlife cultural it's pop artwork. We've got 60,000 clients worldwide. We've grown this into a company that now has the exclusive rights to cast Michelangelo's pieces
in pure silver and pure gold. And they are not just a copy or replica. They are right from the plaster mold that was taken off of
the original masterpiece, they are truly one of a kinds. Our first is the Michelangelo's Pietà. We're casting that as the single largest
pure silver sculpture in the history of the
world at over 18,000 ounces we're also doing the Battle
of the Centaurs in pure gold and then the David, 18
and a half feet tall is the largest silver sculpture
in the history of mankind. Look at the auction houses and what people are buying artwork for, 450 million for a Leonardo da Vinci. There's a Jeffrey Koons rabbit
that sold for $91 million. What it tells us is
there's a buying audience for that type of artwork. No one in the world has
combined blue chip fly artwork with precious metals. But if you invest in this
company, you get both. - We are here in Mexico city,
we have got a packed schedule. We have investor meetings, presentations, sales pitches, investor
pitches, networking events. Mexico is the home to 4.7
million monthly active users, as of Q1 2022. If we could take our model and demonstrate that we can grow in Mexico, we
can then take that same model and scale to the rest of the world. Today, is the inaugural kickoff, first day of a five flags meeting. We are now live in five countries. So, Five Flags is our
cool internal branding for our global expansion. Toto is our newest man
representing Indonesia, Patrick Morrison, Brazil,
Andres Navarro, Mexico, and Kevin Mills, Columbia, and I'm representing the United States. So, if I were to sit down
with a retail investor who's making this decision right now, "Should I click to invest?" This is the most important consideration. We offered this reggae almost a year ago, since that time the company has significantly increased users. We've more than doubled our revenue. We've signed strategic agreements with brands all over North America, and we've taken a significant
private placement investment from the circle of trust from the Grisi family
office, from Chris Birch, and most recently from MNC
media out at Indonesia. - I'm very excited to sign this agreement and to start this journey together. - MNC is the largest media
company in Indonesia, which is the fourth largest
country on planet earth. - Trebel in Indonesia,
has a great partner. It's a leading global media in Indonesia from radio, to TV stations. - They've got everything: cable television, newspapers, websites. This gives us access to hundreds
of millions of consumers in a market that is mobile
first, digitally savvy, young, growing, and
passionate about their music. So, Kevin, I'm gonna put you on the spot. How many users in Columbia right now, and what's your prediction
for December, 2022, how many users will we have in Columbia? - Look, right now, we
have about 50,000 users. It's all organic, we're
literally doing nothing. I still believe we can crack the million monthly
active users in Columbia by December's 31st. - Patrick, what's your prediction? - Launching in Brazil, we
cannot be in a small number. Brazil is a 220 million country, so I predict 5 million people launching with the right partner. - [Bob] Excellent, Toto? - I strongly believe that
we can have 5 million users by the end of 2022. We certainly would like
to see that the revenue will achieve at least almost $10 million. - All right, Andreas, what are
your predictions for Mexico? - I would say that 10
millions would be great, and I will say a 100 million
Pesos in direct sales. - There's a fist bump,
we're all good, Five Flags. (upbeat music) - Mexico is the first country that improve our business
model, it's a big market with an incredible abound of digital marketing dollars flowing in, smartphone penetration is extremely high, music is a huge passion point,
but data is very expensive. And now, we're just gonna
try to copy and paste what's been successful here,
and take it to Columbia, to Indonesia, to Brazil. - It's incredible that 12 months ago, we were just thinking
about how to grow Mexico, and establish ourselves
in this one country. But now it's just gone from
aspirations in one country to multiple countries,
over multiple continents. (upbeat music) - So one of the main goals
of this trip was to meet with all of the members
of the circle of trust. This is ally Alejandra Grisi,
and his business partners who are the other leading
industrialists throughout Mexico, controlling tens of millions
of advertising expense. That meeting apparently is six hours long, and there's gonna be about 20 people. - It's a Mexican lunch. (upbeat Spanish music) - Started at 2:30 in the afternoon, and it went until 1:30 in the morning. - It's a very good way to
bond with our new investors. - Probably the most unique COT investor that we had yet to meet is the
CEO Josie from Soccer Media. (upbeat Spanish music) - This is a company that we
start probably 15 years ago. We sell the lead system on the field, also virtual advertisement to the TV, we sell sponsorship for the biggest teams
in the soccer league. - Turns out soccer media represents 110 of the biggest brands in
Mexico who buy digital media, and they're looking to grow from the passion point
of soccer and sports to this other passion point of music. Whatever you need to succeed
we are here as your partners. We really are committed to it, and Mexico is our number
one priority as a country to prove this part of the
revenue model in Mexico, this year. So, we're very grateful
and very optimistic to make magic together. - It's a unique product, I
love to deliver music for free to the customers and they
love to support the artist, I love it. (translator speaking Spanish) - The Trebel team absolutely killed it in the soccer media meeting. Now, 2/3rds of it was in Spanish, so I didn't understand any of that, but the biggest impact was at the end, Josi came said, "Bob we've got a deal." So, they've invested 400,000 as investors, So they're commiting to prepaid ad revenue where they're gonna be
advertising inside of our app. So, he's not just an investor partner, they're now partner partners. - Everything that's happened in 2021 we hit it out of the park; - 2021 was a year of two things; raising money and proving
our first global market that being Mexico. (upbeat music) 2022 is a whole different ballgame. Last year was raising money, this year is investing that money. It's go time global now.
(upbeat music) Where am I heading now? I've got a few weeks in LA, and then Indonesia, Jakarta, here I come. - Hey guys, Bob from Trebel, this is the last chance you're gonna hear me giving
you the chance to invest, you've got one week left. Rules preclude me for making any promises about your investment, how high it's gonna go, or even how much revenue
we're gonna generate, but the one thing I can promise is that you have a management team and here at Trebel that
you've gotten to know and we are working every
day, as hard as we can, to make your investment
worth as much as possible. If you want to be part of a growing global company, this is your chance to click to invest and be part of our journey. - Before we finish out our final episode I wanna show you one more
offering coming your way in season two, take a look. - [Announcer] Do you know
that the average Americans spends almost $4,000 on health and wellness
products every year. More people than ever are looking for proven ways to strengthen
their immune system, combat aging and live their best lives. Max has that. Not only do we have patented science, we also have independent
care immune studies that prove the efficacy of our products. Products that millions of people throughout 24 countries
have come to trust. Lives have been changed in countless ways. That's where we've invested our
time over the last 15 years. And last year we sold nearly
40 million of products over but in the US, which is the biggest health and wellness market on the planet we've only scratched the surface. That is until now. We are bringing to you the opportunity to own a piece of Max as we join Going Public for season two. You don't wanna miss this. - Close your eyes for me again. - [Producer] Let's talk
about raising money, that's a challenging thing right? - [Ming] You know, raising money is fuel for a company to grow. It's funny, like I remember
talking to a big company they were like, why aren't
these startups profitable yet? Oh, that's kind of like
expecting a toddler to like contribute to
your household expenses. That's ridiculous, right? You know any journey I
think that's worthwhile should have its highs and lows and that this entrepreneurial
journey is no different. What really excites me about the process of
building Proven is, you know leading my team is going
after the next goal, the next business goal, continuing
to grow our customer base and understanding more
about our customers. - [Amy] Oh my goodness. I love the color already. I'm an idealist, I'm a scholar at heart. But then when I think about
why I wanted to be a scientist it's really trying to make an impact. And that's what really
gets me up in the morning. It looks so much better than what we had. - [Ming] I think the
resolution could be better. And that one, the color
is a little bit off - [Amy] Ming and I have big
ambitions entrepreneurs. Essentially what we do is
to match the best product in the market to the best audience that can
receive it or benefit from it. Imagine Proven vending machine right here. - [Ming] Yeah. (upbeat music) In 2020, we were able to reach
almost 10 million in revenue which for a new brand is exceptional. And we did that with a five person team. You know, I think the immigrant
spirit really propelled me. I'm also a third generation entrepreneur. My grandfather to escape a famine in China opened a pancake shop. And then my father started the school to teach basic computer skills in China. Expanding his business is what allowed us to move to the states
when I was 12 years old. I didn't speak any English. So, you know, I think I come from this lineage where
people are unafraid. (bright upbeat music) - [Amy] Proven is a consumer tech company. We are using technology to democratize a traditionally
very prestige service. - [Ming] This is an industry
that is large, growing fast and yet the consumers
are actually dissatisfied with the products there. So we think it's prime for disruption. Hi Sharks. My name is Ming Zhao - [Female] Joining me is
Ming CEO of Proven skincare. - Ming, welcome to the show. - [Ming] The skincare industry hasn't really seen any innovation for the past 50 years - [Female] Unsatisfied and frustrated, she took a deeper look
at the skincare industry. (upbeat music) - [Ming] The natural
demand that customers have for personalized skincare
is so tremendous. Consumers have been wanting
exactly what we need to create and what we uniquely
provide for some time. - [Producer] Good (indistinct) Take one. So we're all dying to know
how did Proven do in 2021? - Proven is doing great in 2021, we ended up achieving more
than 22 million in revenue which is more than a hundred
percent growth over 2020 where we did about 10 million. - [Crowd] Cheers. - [Ming] Last year, we
also launched into Canada which is our first international market. And that turned out to
be quite successful. You know, now between five and 10% of our revenue comes from Canada. We're learning from this experience and we want to apply that to other countries
around the world as well. So we're super excited
about the prospects. (upbeat music) Someone who invests in
Proven sees the growth that Proven has experienced, sees the unparalleled technology platform that Proven has built and sees the potential for
international expansion, product cataract expansion. We believe that we're the next multi-billion
dollar global conglomerate. - Well, that officially wraps
up going public season one but even though the show is over there is still time to
