Inspired by Spirits Investor Pitch
Inspired by Spirits We are conjuring a time when spirits roamed cobblestone alleys lit by flickering gas lanterns; an era when intoxicants were being concocted on homemade copper stills hidden behind secret doors. Here, Dr. Tumblety still travels by horse and carriage peddling his elixirs and patent medicines. This is our world; a world Inspired by Spirits.
Inspired by Spirits – Our concept. Inspired by Spirits provides guests with an opportunity to step back in time. We have 5, 000 sq. feet of connected space that currently includes Dr. Tumblety's Time Inspired Specialty Shop (Phase 01), where curious guests will find hats & fragrance, tonics & trinkets, grooming & cosmetics, cures & curiosities, novels & novelties, oils & elixirs, vintage goods, local artisans, spiritual charms & apothecary products. Dr. Tumblety traveled the world in his horse-drawn carriage led by 2 greyhounds. He was impeccably welldressed while selling and collecting his high-quality goods & patent medicines (mostly made with alcohol). We have conjured his spirit and his apothecary for everyone to enjoy.
Meet the Founders I am a product of the 80 s, born from working-class, creative DNA in the Allentown neighborhood of Pittsburgh. My mother was a part-time hairstylist & provided a solid foundation for discipline, while my father was a union foreman & gravedigger who encouraged wordplay, music, individuality & athletics (to stay busy & out of trouble). I am the middle child, between 2 talented & beautiful sisters. Amanda & I got married in 2016, and our elaborate, prohibition-themed wedding in New Orleans became the inspirational launchpad for Inspired by Spirits LLC. The wedding was very wet with Mike's authentic moonshine. When Mike & I sat by the bayou with our ties and our inhibitions loosened, we joked, "Ay, man. . . we have to do this for real. Let's make this a business. " I was born and raised in Pittsburgh’s Overbrook neighborhood with 3 younger brothers and a single mother. I started doing roofing when I was 12 with my uncles who were in the trade as well. I would work summers and weekends to chip in around the house and help with the bills. I went to Carrick high school where I furthered my knowledge in the construction field. Shortly after high school, I started my own roofing business 'Miles Construction' where I’ve been owner and operator since 2010. I am now building copper stills on a more professional level and selling those will continue to be a lucrative part of this adventure as well. The sky is the limit with the level of creativity and technical ability we bring to the table. We look forward to working with all of you on this.
What makes us stand out! The skill sets of Jesse and Mike, the founding partners, opens up a world of possibilities, & cuts out lots of unnecessary costs. Jesse's awardwinning background in branding & marketing has allowed the company to hit the ground running with an exceptional brand & website complete with e-commerce, while Mike's craftsmanship allows the company to bring any vision to life at almost zero cost. Example: Jesse dreams up a secret bookcase door & Mike builds a secret bookcase door. Simple. “Its about an experience… inspired by spirits. ”
