Risk & Resilience
Two Methods to Mitigate Risk
1. Over the past 3 years, we have built out a comprehensive underwriting process.
2. By targeting large-scale restaurant enterprise groups, we ensure that risk is distributed across a particular group's portfolio of concepts.

Demonstrated Resiliency
Our model is designed to eliminate downward pressure on restaurants--keeping them open.
Even as 14% of American restaurants were shuttered permanently as a result of COVID-19, the default rate on our portfolio was 0.1%.
In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, the fund still returned 14.6% to investors.

How We Finance Restaurants
Through our differentiated financing model, we purchase food and beverage credit which is sold via a partnership with inKind Cards Inc.
First: Convive Capital buys a bulk amount of food and beverage (F&B) credit in a restaurant. This is typically $1,000,000 in F&B Credit for $500,000 in cash.
Then: inKind Cards Inc. sells the food and beverage credit to consumers as high value gift cards (called House Accounts) through multiple channels.
We only lose money if we cannot sell the food & beverage credit and the restaurant closes.
Selling House Accounts
Thanks to the efficient marketing engine of inKind Cards, the Fund can recoup principal investments faster than traditional financing methods can - in months, not years. This minimizes the risk of restaurant financing and increases the returns for investors.
inKind Cards sells credit through a range of channels (online marketing, social media, reservation reminders).
By obtaining the restaurant's mailing list and social accounts, inKind can target marketing communications to customers who know and love the business.
Automated systems and campaigns help (i) acquire users and (ii) ensure users top up with additional credit when low.
A Win-Win-Win
Convive Capital offers modern financing solution that is great for restaurants, customers, and investors.
RestaurantsNo equity dilution or loan to be repaid: restaurants simply provide meals to guests who buy the food & beverage credit.
CustomersGuests get a bonus when they buy food & beverage credit (house accounts). Our data shows that a guest will spend 400% more once they buy a house account.
Convive Capital InvestorsThe fund offers the highest return and lowest default rate of any restaurant financing method.
The fund starts recouping capital immediately and is usually fully paid within 12 months.
