Forge 97 Investor's Contract
Hey there 👋, please fill out and submit this form.
  • 1

    CEO note of welcome
    The company has had cash injections from various parties (myself, parents, mentors, colleagues, and friends) all of which I thank. However, the time has come to expand both in operations and product offerings. I am asking for your help to add value to Forge 97 by investing in the company.

    I will be honest with everyone and say that this is not a 100% risk-free investment, that is why our interest rates are much higher per investment. I am interested in building relationships with people who believe in my dream; even if that means taking a risk.

    “No one is ever really self-made.” I believe it took more than a village to build the Forge 97 brand. With that, the contract below sets out the rules and regulations that should be adhered to by the company and the investors. Should you be unclear of anything, kindly let me know so that it can be explained to you.

    We all start somewhere…

    Regards, 
    Kgonego Mathithibala
    CEO & Founder
