Investor Overview

Building the world's first
experiential membership network.

Cana Reserve starts in California wine country and grows into a national lifestyle membership platform — combining the scale of AAA with the experience of Soho House at a price anyone can afford.

The Problem

Wine country has no
membership infrastructure.

70 million Americans visit wine country every year. They spend generously. They come back. But there is no membership layer connecting them to the businesses they love — no loyalty, no data, no recurring revenue for partners, and no reason for visitors to upgrade their experience.

The existing solution — Priority Wine Pass — is a functional discount membership at $39–59/year. They have an app, a partner network, and real traction. What they don't have is an experiential layer, a premium positioning strategy, or a B2B2C distribution model. They've proven the market. They built the floor. Cana Reserve is building the ceiling.

No unified membership network

Wineries operate in isolation — no shared loyalty layer.

No experiential layer

Discount passes exist. Curated, included events don't.

No B2B2C distribution

130M+ credit union members have no wine country benefit.

No technology infrastructure

Paper cards, PDFs, and manual check-ins are still the norm.

No data for partners

Wineries can't track who their best customers are or retarget them.

The Solution

Cana Reserve solves all of it.

Consumer

The Membership Layer

Two tiers — $69.99 Cana and $129.99 Reserve — connecting members to participating partner wineries, restaurants, hotels, and businesses via instant app redemption.

Reserve Club

The Experience Layer

Reserve members receive complimentary events hosted by Cana Reserve at partner venues, plus priority access and member pricing on wine dinners, chef's tables, harvest nights, and partner experiences throughout the year.

Scale

The Distribution Layer

Cana Reserve's distribution strategy targets credit unions, AARP, AAA, and employee benefit platforms — organizations representing 230M+ Americans who receive lifestyle benefits as part of their membership. When those partnerships are in place, acquisition cost approaches zero.

Proof of Model

This model has already been proven
at scale. Just not for wine drinkers.

Harvest Hosts is a membership platform for RV owners. Pay $99/year, stay overnight free at wineries, farms, breweries, and golf courses. Partners join free. Members spend money on-site. The network grows. Sound familiar?

The one difference that matters

Harvest Hosts requires an RV.
Cana Reserve requires nothing but a love of wine.

That's the addressable market difference.

Business Model

Simple. Recurring. Scalable.

Revenue Stream 1

Membership Fees

Direct-to-consumer memberships at $69.99/yr (Cana) and $129.99/yr (Reserve). Pure recurring revenue — no transaction fees, no per-visit costs.

Revenue Stream 2

B2B2C Licensing

Credit unions, AARP, AAA, and employer benefit platforms pay Cana Reserve to provide memberships to their millions of members as a subsidized benefit. Bulk deals, near-zero CAC.

Revenue Stream 3

Partner Premium Tiers

As the network matures, partner businesses pay for premium placement, featured event hosting, and analytics access. Free in V1 to drive network growth.

Revenue Stream 4

White-Label Licensing

License the Cana Reserve platform to regional operators in markets we don't directly serve. Franchise-like expansion without operational overhead.

The Multiplier

B2B2C distribution changes everything.

The biggest membership organizations in the country are already paying to give their members benefits. Cana Reserve becomes one of those benefits — and acquires millions of members at near-zero cost.

130M+

Credit Unions

Members across 5,000+ US credit unions actively seek member benefits

38M+

AARP

Members skew toward wine country demographics — 50+ with disposable income

60M+

AAA

Already sells travel and lifestyle benefits — Cana Reserve is a natural fit

150M+

Employee Benefits

Fortune 500 employers actively add lifestyle perks to attract and retain talent

The Team

Built by operators who have done it before.

CEO

Tedd

Previously grew Converze Media Group from startup to private equity acquisition. Led a team responsible for hundreds of millions in media spend. Deep relationships across performance marketing, brand partnerships, and enterprise sales.

Leadership Team

10+ Senior Operators

Seasoned professionals with 20+ years of combined experience across TV, radio, programmatic, and digital advertising. No junior staff, no hand-offs — the same senior team that closes a deal executes it.

Based in Irvine, California. Simplicity Media — the parent company — generates $100K+ monthly revenue and has proven experience scaling brands to $1M+ monthly ad spend. Cana Reserve is built on that operational foundation.

Why Now

The window is open.

Post-pandemic wine tourism is booming. Consumers are spending on experiences over things. Membership models are at an all-time high. And no one has built the infrastructure layer for wine country yet. The timing to capture this market — before a well-funded competitor does — is right now.
