Financials
FY2021–FY2024 · 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.

Kevin Carbone is a 32-year-old entrepreneur from the Jersey Shore with a passion for health and fitness. Kevin graduated Cum Laude from Ramapo College in 2013 with a Bachelor of Finance. After graduation, he began honing his research and analytical skills at Bloomberg, and then went on to manage the analytics department at NRG’s Solar Division. The seed for Sauce Bae was planted 11 years ago when Kevin was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at age 21. This propelled him towards a health-conscious lifestyle, where he discovered the transformative power of turmeric and clean eating. Realizing a void in the market for genuinely natural, low-sodium, turmeric-infused hot sauce, Kevin created Sauce Bae's original recipe in 2017 along with all the current branding himself. Today, Kevin is committed to making Sauce Bae a household name and the preferred choice for health-conscious hot sauce enthusiasts.

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.
