Financials
FY2019–FY2021 · from SEC filings · hover any figure for its sourceFigures as reported by the issuer in the filing shown on hover. Each year’s pill shows the assurance level of its filed statements — audited, reviewed (CPA review, less than an audit), or unaudited, as the filing’s own report or certification states it. A dashed pill marked * is inferred instead: the SEC minimum for an offering that size, which the issuer may have exceeded. No pill means we couldn’t tell. Headcount is the filing’s point-in-time count, not a year-end average. Manually corrected figures are marked “Corrected”.

From the company's SEC filings: share counts per class, each class's voting and conversion terms, and the holders of 20% or more that Form C requires (officers and 10%+ holders on Form 1-A). Filings name only large holders, so most owners — including crowd investors — are not listed, and a holder's percentage may be of its own class rather than of the whole company. Prices and crowd share counts are in today's share terms — adjusted for splits and conversions since they were sold. Hover a figure for its filing.
Fundraising history
Team
1 person
An Entrepreneur, Inventor, Advisor and Attorney, Howie Busch is the Founder & Dude-in-Chief of DudeRobe, where he created a cooler bathrobe and loungewear for men…and appeared on Season 9 of ABC’s Shark Tank. When he came up with his “crazy” idea for a cooler bathrobe for guys, he launched a Kickstarter campaign to test the market. One week later, Shark Tank approached him. And less than three months later, with no product even in the country yet, he was pitching to the Sharks. Several NBA teams have ordered for their locker rooms simply because DudeRobe's a better locker room alternative. Teams include the New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and Utah Jazz. Notable players with DudeRobe gear include NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks, perennial All-Star Kyrie Irving and Dallas Cowboys star Quarterback Dak Prescott. Prior to launching Dude Apparel Brand, Busch developed innovative products and licensed them to industry leaders. His career highlights include: Negotiating UNDER ARMOUR’S first pro sports licensing deal (NFL), negotiating several World Series of Poker contracts with ESPN and helping his NFL cient Bill Goldberg get and become one of the biggest names in professional wrestling. As an inventor/product developer, his products have been sold in Walmart, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Amazon, Fanatics and in airports around teh world. He has spoken at the US Patent & Trademark Office on innovation, entrepreneurship and product development multiple times, as well as at major universities. And he is a proud University of Michigan alum.

SEC filings
About this data. Figures are compiled from public sources — SEC EDGAR filings (Form C, C-AR, 1-A, 1-K) and funding-platform pages — and may be delayed, incomplete, or restated by the issuer. Financial statements are as reported by the issuer; each year is labeled with its assurance level (audited / reviewed / unaudited). A valuation cap is the conversion ceiling of a SAFE or convertible note, not an agreed company valuation; post-money figures are computed as pre-money plus amount raised and are not a traded price. Crowdonomics is not a broker-dealer, funding portal, or investment adviser; nothing here is investment advice or an offer to sell securities. Verify all figures against the linked EDGAR filings.
