Dear Asarasi Investors, Champions and Fans,

WOW! 1,500% funded from over 1,000 investors! Incredible job everyone and thank you so much for your continued excitement around the Asarasi raise! Due to the continued excitement and incredible growth in the raise over the past month, and after consulting with our advisory board, I've decided to extend the fundraise by six weeks from our original close date of August 15th until September 30th. This additional time will provide for interested investors to discover our opportunity and to engage and for all of you, our existing investors to continue to share our opportunity and to potentially further invest further in our company. 

I say "our company" as all of you are soon to become owners at the closing of the fundraise and you are an important and integral part of our business. So thank you for your confidence in me and the Asarasi team to execute on our mission together. Your voice as a champion of the brand is incredibly important. By sharing our funding opportunity and your passion for our company within your network of family, friends, and colleagues not only will it help Asarasi succeed but your voice will also help everyone realize a much greater return on our investments together.

In other exciting news, we continue to grow the business strategically with additional orders from our distributors and our e-commerce channel since my last update. We also have an exciting and emerging opportunity to bottle our products with Anheuser Busch (AB)  in St. Louis and if the negotiation works out the way we desire, this will provide Asarasi with a long-term bottling partnership with AB!

Also, as a part of our growth plan, we are in the process of vetting out an expert outside sales team that has experience in growing food and beverage companies successfully to multi-million dollar revenue streams. This retained outside sales team will be hired to leverage their network of key accounts and retailers to successfully place the brand within these key retail accounts across North America over the next year. Furthermore, given the size of the increased funding, we will look to add a digital/social media marketing expert to our team to continue to drive the awareness of the brand on social channels to support our retailers, NGO partners, and Anheuser-Busch's efforts to also grow our company. 

Lastly, thank you for your amazing support and for continuing to be the voice of the Asarasi brand wherever you may be.  I am honored that you have chosen to invest in Asarasi and I am looking forward to leading the Asarasi team with your help to amazing new heights! 

Onward and upward!

Adam
