"I think Adam has a shot at making this happen - he just needs the right capital partner."

James Lohan, Founder of Mr & Mrs Smith Hotels

Could you be part of the Santé launch?

Over the last few months, I’ve been focused on bringing Santé to the point where it’s ready for capital investment.

Santé is a hospitality brand and hotel operator - we don’t own the real estate; we own the experience. Our business is operating the hotels and delivering a brand that captures the attention (and loyalty) of the active traveller.

Our ambition is to build a network of outdoors -and wellness- focused hotels across Europe and beyond. Think Soho House, but built for people who ski, surf, train, and explore.

Our locations will sit in the world’s most inspiring natural playgrounds - mountains, coastlines, lakes, countryside, forests - and each will be architect -and user- designed for both beauty and functionality. Expect minimalist, efficient living spaces, professional coworking halls, communal cooking and dining, world-class training facilities, and relaxed social areas that feel like home.

There won’t be reception desks or concierge counters - instead, Santé Hosts will deliver a more personal experience, more like a high-end private chalet. Guests live in the space as if it’s their own, but with the kind of amenities few could access alone. The result is a close-knit community that revolves around shared adventure, great food, and genuine connection - all enabled by a lean, smart tech stack.

Why you, why now, why Santé?

I’m reaching out first to friends and family - and hopefully, through you, to your extended network - to help bring this to life.

While Santé needs funding, I see this as an opportunity to offer real upside when the first location opens. I don’t take that lightly. My commitment is to keep you informed every step of the way.

Early next year, our aim is to secure a real estate investment partner for Location #1 - ideally in the Alps, where every season brings a reason to visit. But to get there, we need to show proof of market and concept validation.

With your investment, I’ll work with a leading branding agency to accelerate traction - building social presence, forming soft partnerships with retreat and camp hosts, securing pre-sales, growing the mailing list, and developing a full design concept for our first site.

By the end of this phase, Santé will be ready to take on its first lease and raise a substantial Seed round.

How to get involved

Two paths:

  1. Join the Crowdfund - access unique rewards well above the value of your contribution.

  2. Invest in a SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) - your capital converts to equity in Santé at the next raise, aligned with company performance.

Targets & Use of Funds

While I can bootstrap some of this phase, additional capital will speed everything up and bring in expert partners:

  • £50k - Branding assets, traction development, and operational setup.

  • £100k - Branding agency engagement, MVP tech build, and early awareness campaigns.

  • £150k - Enables hiring of Employee #1 (potential co-founder) to drive growth.

At the end of this stage, Santé will be positioned for a Seed raise with a clear valuation backed by a strong pipeline of events, guest commitments, site prospects, design concepts, social traction, and ambassador partnerships.

Equity Investment

If you choose to invest via a SAFE, your investment will convert at Santé’s next funding round.

  • Target Seed raise: £4.2m for 20% equity (valuing Santé at £16.8m pre-money)

  • Minimum ticket: £5,000

  • Conversion terms: £12m valuation cap or 20% discount

  • Tax benefits: Santé qualifies for SEIS, meaning higher-rate taxpayers stand to lose only ~£3 of every £10 invested if Santé fails (please confirm independently).

You can review full details in the Investment Deck - I’m happy to walk you through it personally.

Crowdfund Rewards

For smaller contributions - or for those who prefer direct value - limited reward tiers are available on a first-come basis:

  • £500 - 35% off stays for two years (making savings from day 8 of your stay onward)

  • £1,000 - As above + 2-week stay (~£2,500 value)

  • £1,500 - As above + 1-week course (room free) + 1-year membership (~£5,000 value)

  • £2,000 - As above + 2-year membership (~£6,500 value)

  • £5,000 - As above + lifetime membership (~£18,500 value)

  • £10,000 - As above + 2-week stay annually for 5 years + strategic involvement (~£28,000 value)
