2026 CROWDFUNDING BALL
NEW YEAR’S EVE 2026 @ RAW LAB @ CHARLESTON
Attention Super Fans & Soon to Be Super Fans!
Kevin Joseph here. I’m the creator & owner of Raw Lab in Charleston, SC. We are packaging NYE 2025 @ RAW LAB as follows is to launch the Friends & Family part of the Crowd Funding for our impending global expansion, starting with the next RAW LAB @ Jupiter, FL. I invite you to take a close look at this incredible opportunity for NYE 2026…and BEYOND! I’ve held all NYE seats aside for you and I’m crafting an evening that is one for ages.

BEYOND JUPITER
Equity in our new venture, EMPIRE WORLDWIDE, Inc, a Delaware S Corp, will be delivered to those who purchase seats for NYE 2026. The new entity has been formed and will be the holding company for all existing IP, assets and brands created by Kevin Joseph and Empire Oyster, LLC etc all. The company is conservatively valued $1,000,000.
The new venture will scale RAW LAB & LTLE FISH (and more) in the hospitality space. More importantly, in the long term, it will leverage hospitality success to develop several other business verticals, globally, including aquaculture, media, e-commerce, and consumer packaged goods. We believe we will can achieve a $50,000,000 valuation by 2036.
Our ultimate goal is to do with raw bar what Nobu did with sushi. Yes it is possible. Yes, Im the person to lead this effort. Nobu managed to open 57 restaurants world-wide. Nobu himself has generated a net worth of 200mm. Im certain his investors are quite pleased with how it has all worked out.
Personally, I would LOVE to fill this room with SUPER FANS ONLY because it will be EPIC to assemble that crew and I personally want to celebrate this occasion with YOU! I hope you know how much I really mean that.
