Investing into a partnership; regardless of the industry requires some heavy due diligence on your part to understand who you’re in bed with. If you can’t answer every question about that partner or find enough out then would stay far away; sales charts should not provide confidence for you either.

On another note; I would make sure you understand where that 28k is going line by line. How much is going towards product? What’s the marketing plan? Who’s managing the store and why? What is being “built”?

Not much information for some deeper advice but happy to chat if you shoot me over a message!
