Key Takeaways:

  • CubCrafters is aiming to raise $50 million to fund manufacturing, research and development, infrastructure, and market expansion, employing a grassroots approach to investment.
  • The company is pursuing this capital through a Regulation A+ Tier 2 offering, which allows it to publicly solicit investments, distinguishing it from a traditional IPO process at this stage.
  • Having filed an "offering statement" with the SEC, CubCrafters is currently "testing the waters" by accepting non-binding "Reservations of Investment" from interested parties.

Aviation is known for many acronyms: FAA, ILS, and VFR, to name a few. Regarding business, others are just as commonplace, such as IPO, SEC, and SPAC. However, these terms can be misunderstood, and CubCrafters’ recent solicitation for investors offers an excellent opportunity to tackle this “transactional” topic.   

Taking advantage of the high-profile venue at EAA AirVenture 2022 at Oshkosh, the company announced its intention to sell shares to anyone interested in helping the manufacturer reach new heights of innovation. IPO, the three magic letters for “Initial Public Offering” often heard throughout Wall Street, also began to circulate at Oshkosh. Is CubCrafters headed into IPO-land?
