This is Dave.

In 2010, Dave was helping a friend launch a hydration beverage into the market.

EXCITING This was really

Page 5: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

Except he soon discovered it was very difficult to get distribution.

Page 6: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

Tradeshows

He was frustrated by the inefficiency of:

Fragmented Buyer Channels

Fragmented Distribution Channels

Page 7: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

“Why is it so difficult to

get a product on the shelf?”

Page 8: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

He wished he could just press a

And solve all these problems!

BUTTON

Page 9: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

Then he realized...

Page 10: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

ideas come from pain and the vision of a new world!

BIG

Page 11: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

Luckily Dave had some experience solving complex problems with simple and elegant solutions...

And so he thought...

Page 12: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

Lets create a simple-to-use

MARKETPLACE

And Wholesalefund was born...

Page 13: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

We will make it easy for Brands

And Buyers

Page 14: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

We will create something so they can avoid all this wasted time dealing

with fragmented communication.

Page 15: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

Now, how will we get the money

for this great idea?

Page 16: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

Got It!

Page 17: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

Instead of raising a bunch of money and hoping we get a software solution right...

Page 18: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

NOW Let’s just start doing it

And build the ideal experience we envision.

Page 19: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

We will test our entire business model before we write a line of code.

Page 20: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

This will help us accelerate adoption

And give us time to innovate

the most elegant software solution...

Page 21: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

...without being stuck with a “clunky” wrong answer.

We won the Innovation Grant from The Arizona Commerce Authority as a top 1% Arizona Company.

Page 24: MyStartupStory- Wholesalefund

We couldn’t do it alone though...

So, we partnered with the leading venture management firm, Tallwave.
