Investor Working Model · Confidential · September 2026
A working commercial model for a premium rooftop hospitality network. The figures below are planning assumptions for pilot design and partner conversations, not audited forecasts. The strategic premise is that each successful venue adds content, reach and brand value to the wider network.
Investment Thesis
Every new Sunsets venue feeds live content to every other. A competitor can copy the concept, but they cannot copy the network. As venues multiply, the live-feed library becomes a proprietary, compounding asset that grows more valuable with every location added.
Sunsets combines 4K visual immersion, directional soundscapes, scent diffusion, themed cocktails, and private group booking into one seamless product. No single element is revolutionary — but the combination is. The category doesn't exist yet. That's the opportunity.
Hotel partnerships mean Sunsets doesn’t own or operate rooftops — it licenses the IP and system. Each licensing deal generates upfront fees plus revenue share. Capex stays low. Margin expands as the network grows. It is hospitality as a software business.
Market Opportunity
Three macro trends have converged to make Sunsets viable and timely. The technology is ready. The consumer appetite has peaked. The hotel sector is desperate for differentiation.
Comparable Analysis
Financial Projections
The figures on this page are internal planning assumptions intended to test whether the concept can support a scalable operating model. They must be revalidated against an actual site, partner commercial terms, fit-out budget, seating capacity and observed pilot demand before being used for fundraising or contractual decisions.
Investment Structure
Based on comparable hospitality brand exits and licensing businesses. Returns modelled at Year 4 (10-venue network) with conservative and base case assumptions.
Why Now
No equivalent concept exists anywhere in the world. The category is open. Every month of delay is a month a better-funded competitor could enter. The window is open, not permanent.
The next commercial milestone is a flagship Dubai rooftop partner with the right view, guest profile and willingness to co-develop the pilot. The venue is part of the product. Site selection should come before detailed fit-out economics.
Trademark registration, NDA infrastructure, and legal protection must precede the public pitch. Every week without protection is a week of vulnerability. Investment funds the legal layer first.
4K LED display costs have dropped 60% in five years. Commercial scent diffusion is under $500/unit. Phase 1 is buildable now at a fraction of what it would have cost in 2020.
We are looking for the right first investor — someone who understands that the future of hospitality is built on experience, not just accommodation, and who sees the network effect before it's obvious.
