HIGHLIGHTS
New Bar Locations, A Growing Pipeline Behind Them

Multi-Daypart Revenue Engines
Lunch, sports, happy hour, DJs, celebrations, private events, holidays.
Second-Generation Spaces with Character
We build in existing spaces with architectural bones, not expensive new construction.
One of America’s Strongest Restaurant Markets
Florida has the country’s fastest-growing population. It’s also one of the strongest restaurant markets, favoring neighborhood gathering spaces with quality drinks, affordable pricing, and the ability to hear each other talk.
8 Years of Growth While 300+ Competitors Closed
Our flagship Lost Boy Dry Goods location has served as Downtown Miami’s staple gathering place since first opening in June 2018. We've built a portfolio that survived and thrived through the pandemic, historic inflation, and the most competitive market in Miami's history. Named Miami New Times Best New Bar upon opening and inducted into the Star Chefs Rising Stars class of 2021, the only bar owners in a field of top restaurateurs.
These four locations prove the model works.
Lost Boy Dry Goods
Downtown Miami, 2,000 sf
An English pub meets Captain's tavern meets Colorado miner's saloon. Draft beer, classic cocktails, and pizza in a room that was built to feel like it’s been there for decades.
Tropezón
Miami Beach, 1,800 sf
A gin and tapas restaurant inspired by Spanish village saloons where old men play cards and women sip Sherry. Cold pours, cured things, and all the moments between.
Fox's Lounge
South Miami, 2,500 sf, Historic Institution Resurrection
Opened in 1946 by Hank and Betty Fox, a classic legacy of what makes old-fashioned hospitality special: family, friends, and stiff drinks. Proudly the darkest bar in Miami.
Brother's Keeper
Miami Beach, 1,300 sf
Inspired by NYC and its connection to Miami in the 1980s, a cocktail bar serving fine foods with good company, most of the time.
The Neighborhood Bar That Works From Open to Close
Lost Boy Dry Goods is a neighborhood bar serving draft beer, classic cocktails, and pizza in a room inspired by a love of English pubs, Western saloons, and old captain’s taverns. A community-driven bar model built for high margins and long-term scalability. We’ve built multiple revenue engines across the full day, ideal for both the solo bar stool pint and large group celebrations.

Randy launched Lost Boy Dry Goods at 157 E Flagler Street in 2014, partnering with Chris Hudnall in 2018 to pivot into hospitality and build Lost Boy & Co. He leads strategy, design, and project management across the portfolio.
Chris has 20+ years in hospitality spanning operations, concept development, and beverage program leadership. His career includes Mondrian South Beach and a decade at Soho House, where he opened Soho Beach House in 2010 and rose to North American Director of Bars by 2014, overseeing seven private clubs and five public restaurants.

He leads operational execution, concept development, strategic partnerships, and brand experience for the group.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why invest in startups?
Regulation CF allows investors to invest in startups and early-growth companies. This is different from helping a company raise money on Kickstarter; with Regulation CF Offerings, you aren’t buying products or merchandise - you are buying a piece of a company and helping it grow.
How much can I invest?
Accredited investors can invest as much as they want. But if you are NOT an accredited investor, your investment limit depends on either your annual income or net worth, whichever is greater. If the number is less than $124,000, you can only invest 5% of it. If both are greater than $124,000 then your investment limit is 10%.
How do I calculate my net worth?
To calculate your net worth, just add up all of your assets and subtract all of your liabilities (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence). The resulting sum is your net worth.
What are the tax implications of an equity crowdfunding investment?
We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.
Who can invest in a Regulation CF Offering?
Individuals over 18 years of age can invest.
What do I need to know about early-stage investing? Are these investments risky?
There will always be some risk involved when investing in a startup or small business. And the earlier you get in the more risk that is usually present. If a young company goes out of business, your ownership interest could lose all value. You may have limited voting power to direct the company due to dilution over time. You may also have to wait about five to seven years (if ever) for an exit via acquisition, IPO, etc. Because early-stage companies are still in the process of perfecting their products, services, and business model, nothing is guaranteed. That’s why startups should only be part of a more balanced, overall investment portfolio.
When will I get my investment back?
The Common Stock (the "Shares") of Lost Boy Hospitality Ventures Inc. (the "Company") are not publicly-traded. As a result, the shares cannot be easily traded or sold. As an investor in a private company, you typically look to receive a return on your investment under the following scenarios: The Company gets acquired by another company. The Company goes public (makes an initial public offering). In those instances, you receive your pro-rata share of the distributions that occur, in the case of acquisition, or you can sell your shares on an exchange. These are both considered long-term exits, taking approximately 5-10 years (and often longer) to see the possibility for an exit. It can sometimes take years to build companies. Sometimes there will not be any return, as a result of business failure.
Can I sell my shares?
Shares sold via Regulation Crowdfunding offerings have a one-year lockup period before those shares can be sold under certain conditions.
Exceptions to limitations on selling shares during the one-year lockup period:
In the event of death, divorce, or similar circumstance, shares can be transferred to:
• The company that issued the securities;
• An accredited investor;
• A family member (child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse or equivalent, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships).
What happens if a company does not reach their funding target?
If a company does not reach their minimum funding target, all funds will be returned to the investors after the close of the offering.
How can I learn more about a company's offering?
All available disclosure information can be found on the offering pages for our Regulation Crowdfunding offering.
What if I change my mind about investing?
You can cancel your investment at any time, for any reason, until 48 hours prior to a closing occurring. If you’ve already funded your investment and your funds are in escrow, your funds will be promptly refunded to you upon cancellation. To submit a request to cancel your investment please email: info@dealmakersecurities.com
How do I keep up with how the company is doing?
At a minimum, the company will be filing with the SEC and posting on its website an annual report, along with certified financial statements. Those should be available 120 days after the fiscal year end. If the company meets a reporting exception, or eventually has to file more reported information to the SEC, the reporting described above may end. If these reports end, you may not continually have current financial information about the company.
What relationship does the company have with DealMaker Securities?
Once an offering ends, the company may continue its relationship with DealMaker Securities for additional offerings in the future. DealMaker Securities’ affiliates may also provide ongoing services to the company. There is no guarantee any services will continue after the offering ends.
What is the company's implied pre-money valuation?
The Company has ascribed a pre-Offering valuation of $40,000,000.00 to the Company. The valuation was calculated by multiplying the total number of shares outstanding (TSO) by the price per share offered in this raise.
This is a pre-money valuation — meaning it reflects the company's value before any new funds raised in this offering are added.
