Three Peaks Wax Co. Investor



Who are we?

Three Peaks Wax Company is a quickly growing candle studio based out of Chicago, Illinois. We officially launched in January of 2017 and have since sold hundreds of candles and landed in three retail stores. All of our products are inspired by adventure and the great outdoors. Each scent in our collection ignites some sort of memory - the campfires you'd sit around as a teenager, a family vacation, or a summer hike through the mountains. Inherently, we each hold on to different scents from our past that can ignite memories we thought we had forgotten. This is what we strive to accomplish. 

What do we need?

Our current problem (and it's a good problem to have) is that we can hardly keep up with the demand for our products. Each one of our candles is made in a small Chicago kitchen. The wax melts on the stove, the scents are measured and added by hand, and the candles are slowly poured one by one into their jars. Each label is printed, cut, and applied by hand. Our wooden lids are stained and branded individually. We take great pride in the aesthetic of our products, however, given our current demand, we are needing to find ways to make more candles more quickly. 

What are we asking for?

We are looking for start-up investors in our company to help us move forward and grow Three Peaks Wax Co. into what we know it can be. Below is a list of some of the places the money will be going. 

  • Purchasing an industrial wax melter. This speeds up production time and can melt 10 pounds of wax at a time, as opposed to the 3 pound pitchers we are currently using. 
  • Out-sourcing the rest of our labels. 
  • Out-sourcing the wooden candle lids to arrive already stained, as opposed to staining each one by hand. 
  • Sending samples to stores across the US - including my hometown, Hattiesburg, MS, and cities around the National Parks we currently carry. 
  • Continue perfecting the product. Every batch of candles we make brings us one step closer to perfecting wax ratios, wicks. scent recipes, etc. 

How do I become an investor?

We are asking that each of our investors give a minimum of $100. You are receiving this invitation exclusively because of your support for our company. 

What are the perks of becoming an investor?

  • Upon investing, you will get to design your own candle. We will email you with a list of every individual fragrance oil we carry. From there, you get to choose 2-3 scents that we will combine into a unique and original candle made just for you - label and all. 
  • A lifetime 15% off discount. You will be supplied a unlimited use code that you can enter upon checking out at our online store.
  • Exclusive samples. Our investors will receive samples of every new scent we are adding to the collection BEFORE they are released to the public. Investors will also receive scent samples with each purchase from our online store. This includes fall scents, Christmas scents, etc. 


Thank you for all of your support and for believing in Three Peaks Wax Company as much as we do! We are learning so much about owning and running a successful business - and with your help we can only learn more.

100% of your investments will be put directly into the company. For the first year of operation, we are putting all of our profits back into the company and the perfection of the product.
