The contracts, partnerships and numbers behind the raise — the live questions investors ask, answered: the five-year model to £5.69m revenue, £1.45m EBITDA and a targeted £15m valuation.
Every claim in the plan is anchored to a signed contract, a delivered event or a locked partnership.
Prior to acquisition, a historical cash offer of €1,000,000 for the bare IP alone was rejected by José. Today — with two delivered editions, a locked superclub residency and a 50-member global council — the £2.5M post-money seed entry is conservative and highly justified.
The repeatable "rinse & repeat" blueprint each new territory deploys — excluding localised corporate sponsorship.
| Revenue layer | Mechanism / operational metric | Target gross |
|---|---|---|
| VIP Gala Dinner | 600 capacity · 42 tables (70%) @ €15,000 each | €630,000 |
| Premium Gallery | 100 tickets to high-profile local buyers @ €200 | €20,000 |
| Afterparty Doors | 3,000 GA @ €50 — theatre flips to club (50/50) | €75,000 |
| Afterparty Bar | High-volume nightclub beverage (50/50 net split) | €50,000+ |
| Total gross product | Per event, per territory | €775,000+ |
Operational blueprint: secured via a clean €50,000 dry-hire structure — the DJ Awards controls production and retains 100% of primary dinner revenue. The venue leverage factor: the host venue absorbs 100% of afterparty operational and talent costs, because the DJ Awards delivers the world's highest-value line-up — the night's winners — completely free of booking fees.
Revenue grows almost 6× over the plan as the circuit expands from one event to six — split between ticket & table sales and a fast-growing sponsorship line.
2026 is a relaunch and investment year. The plan turns EBITDA-positive from 2027 and compounds to £1.45m by 2030, with dividends scheduled to begin in 2028.
