Business Plan

Initial Funding: up to $300 Target Sales: $200 - $300

• Make it.
  • Buy sufficient raw mate
    • Mate if we're aiming for ethical excellence might be Guayaki in Sebastopol [6]
    • for 50L ~ 100 bottles
      • Assuming 500ml bottles
      • We could also use 333ml bottles
  • Brew it (Morten: "Sounds fun. I'm in")
    • Will we need a vat?
      • (Morten: If necessary use my 15L pots and make several batches.)
      • Do we have a vat?
      • Hol has a keg.
      • Can a metal worker at sudo make us a vat
  • Spice it if necessary
    • Following this makerzine guide[4] maybe
    • Or allow adventurous sudoer to blaze trail
      • Noise bridge already made something called "Sudo Pop", which is up our alley. [1]
  • Carbonate it
    • Bobby, David Wild's roommate does this
      • Ask him nicely
      • Pay him
    • Buy a soda-stream
      • (Morten: "I think this would be very expensive. Might be possible to use a real "carbonater" thing, I know Tom's dad has one.")
        • Eric the metal Worker has one I just found out Maximilianklein (talk) 22:02, 7 April 2013 (PDT)
