From :
Since an investor withdrew their $500,000 investment last November, Row House has been struggling to recover. Despite our efforts, as a small, minority-owned startup, this setback nearly put us out of business.
In early 2024, we launched an emergency fundraiser seeking $200,000 for continued operations and long-term success. We raised $100,000, which gave us the boost we needed, but we’re still nearly $100,000 short. Without this $100,000, we cannot continue operations.
This situation is not a result of poor business practices or lack of book sales. We’re outperforming other indie publishers our size in every area. The issue is that we face challenges similar to any new business but with added disadvantages due to limited access, resources, and social standing.
The Good News: We raised the minimum threshold of $60,000 in our investment campaign, but several canceled investments by people who have recently changed their minds have put us below the threshold, leaving these funds inaccessible. Drawing down these funds would give us enough runway to raise the remaining $40,000 at a manageable pace.
