INVEST IN DATING DUE DILIGENCE
Invest in Technology. Invest in Safety. Participate in the Growth of DDD.
Spice Holdings LLC is seeking to raise US$1,000,000 in start-up capital for the development, commercialization, marketing and international expansion of Dating Due Diligence (DDD) — an online information platform designed to help people make better-informed decisions about individuals they meet online.
The proposed investment model combines a contractual share of applicable gross revenue, monthly revenue-share payouts subject to revenue generated, secure Investor Portal access, a flexible investment term of one to five years, an exit/buyback structure, and a dedicated Investor Buyback/Repayment Reserve intended to be funded progressively from positive operating cash flow.
The existing DDD agreement supports the core concepts of project funding, gross-revenue participation, Investor Portal reporting, Spice Holdings LLC retaining ownership, and a developer buyback structure. The economic terms described on this page are a revised proposed program and require a corresponding revised definitive agreement before any investment is accepted.
The Business Opportunity
Online dating has transformed how people meet and develop relationships. DDD is positioned as an additional information layer between meeting someone online and deciding to trust them offline. Spice Holdings LLC believes due diligence can become a normal part of online dating safety, particularly before users meet strangers, share sensitive information, send money or make important personal commitments.
DDD allows users to conduct dating due-diligence searches using available identifying information and publicly available sources before deciding whether to meet, trust, send money to, travel with or develop a relationship with someone they have encountered online. Spice Holdings LLC is now inviting qualified investors to participate in the development, launch, marketing and growth of DDD.
US$1,000,000 Capital Raise
The capital raise is intended to support DDD-related technology and software development, hosting and infrastructure, data and information services, cybersecurity, marketing and user acquisition, staffing, business development, payment processing, legal and professional services, administration and other legitimate DDD operating expenses.
A detailed use-of-funds budget will be provided as a supplemental schedule once management approves the final allocation.
Revenue Model
User Subscriptions: recurring revenue generated from users purchasing access to DDD services and subscription plans.
Corporate Sponsorships: revenue generated from businesses and organizations purchasing sponsorship and promotional exposure across the DDD platform.
Revenue Share Schedule
In addition to the proposed minimum return, investors participate in DDD's commercial performance through a contractual share of applicable gross revenue generated from user subscriptions and sponsorships. Every US$10,000 invested equals 0.10% of applicable gross revenue. Revenue-share distributions are scheduled for the 28th day of each month and depend on applicable gross revenue actually generated and received.

Operating costs are management planning assumptions. Remaining cash is a simplified cash-flow measure, not audited net income; taxes, depreciation, financing costs, working-capital movements and other items may affect actual results.
Illustrative Investor Revenue-Share Returns
If the full US$1,000,000 capital raise is completed, participating investors would collectively hold up to 10% of applicable gross revenue. Under the base-case forecast, the collective five-year revenue-share pool would be US$1,800,000.
| Investment | Share | Y1 | Y2 | Y3 | Y4 | Y5 | 5-Year Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | 0.10% | $500 | $1,500 | $3,000 | $5,000 | $8,000 | $18,000 |
| $25,000 | 0.25% | $1,250 | $3,750 | $7,500 | $12,500 | $20,000 | $45,000 |
| $50,000 | 0.50% | $2,500 | $7,500 | $15,000 | $25,000 | $40,000 | $90,000 |
| $100,000 | 1.00% | $5,000 | $15,000 | $30,000 | $50,000 | $80,000 | $180,000 |
| $150,000 | 1.50% | $7,500 | $22,500 | $45,000 | $75,000 | $120,000 | $270,000 |
| $250,000 | 2.50% | $12,500 | $37,500 | $75,000 | $125,000 | $200,000 | $450,000 |
| $500,000 | 5.00% | $25,000 | $75,000 | $150,000 | $250,000 | $400,000 | $900,000 |
| $1,000,000 | 10.00% | $50,000 | $150,000 | $300,000 | $500,000 | $800,000 | $1,800,000 |
Example — US$100,000 Investor: a US$100,000 investment corresponds to a 1.00% share of applicable gross revenue. Under the base-case forecast, projected revenue-share distributions total US$180,000 over five years, before separately considering principal repayment and any contractual exit/buyback return.
Revenue Sensitivity
| Scenario | 5-Year Gross Revenue | Full 10% Investor Pool | US$100k Investor (1%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Downside – 50% of base | $9,000,000 | $900,000 | $90,000 |
| Base Case | $18,000,000 | $1,800,000 | $180,000 |
| Upside – 150% of base | $27,000,000 | $2,700,000 | $270,000 |
This sensitivity view shows that returns depend materially on DDD's actual revenue rather than presenting the base case as the only possible outcome.
Monthly Revenue-Share Payouts
Revenue-share distributions are scheduled to be paid to investors on the 28th day of each month. Monthly payouts are subject to DDD generating and receiving applicable gross revenue. If there is no applicable gross revenue during a particular payout period, no revenue-share payment would be due for that period. Payments may be made by bank transfer or another payment method agreed between Spice Holdings LLC and the investor.
Proposed Minimum 30% Return
The proposed minimum 30% return on principal remains subject to the final contractual exit/buyback terms, to be documented in the investor's definitive Investment and Revenue Share Agreement. Importantly, monthly revenue-share distributions received before a completed buyback are intended to remain additional returns — they do not reduce the investor's applicable return on principal.
As a result, an investor may realize a total return greater than 30% through the combination of the applicable return on principal and monthly revenue-share distributions received during the investment term.
Potential to Earn More Than 30%
The revenue-share component gives investors an opportunity to participate in the growth of DDD rather than being limited to a fixed return. The greater DDD's applicable gross revenue, the greater the investor's potential revenue-share distributions. There is no representation that every investor will earn the same total return, because revenue-share income depends on DDD's actual commercial performance.
Flexible Investment Term
Investors select an investment term of 1 to 5 years, to be documented in the definitive Investment and Revenue Share Agreement. This structure allows investors to select an investment period that meets their individual objectives while providing DDD with capital for development and growth.
Investment Term, Exit & Buyback
Under the proposed program, after the first year Spice Holdings LLC may propose a buyback by mutual written agreement with the investor. The proposed minimum 30% return on principal remains subject to the final contractual exit/buyback terms. Revenue-share distributions received before a completed buyback are intended to remain additional returns. Once a buyback is completed and all amounts due are paid, the investor's right to future revenue-share distributions ends. The investment is structured as risk capital rather than a conventional interest-bearing loan.
Investor Buyback/Repayment Reserve
An important component of the revised financial model is a dedicated Investor Buyback/Repayment Reserve. Its purpose is to accumulate cash that can help meet future contractual obligations associated with investor exits, principal repayment and applicable buyback returns. Rather than depending entirely on new investment capital or attempting to fund a large investor exit from a single month's operating revenue, Spice Holdings LLC intends for the Reserve to be funded progressively from positive operating cash flow as DDD grows.
For planning purposes, the base-case model allocates 20% of positive operating cash flow remaining after operating costs and investor revenue-share distributions to the Reserve. No contribution is assumed in a year with negative pre-reserve operating cash flow.
| Year | Pre-Reserve Cash Flow | 20% Reserve Contribution | Cumulative Reserve* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | -$200,000 | $0 | $0 |
| Year 2 | $450,000 | $90,000 | $90,000 |
| Year 3 | $1,350,000 | $270,000 | $360,000 |
| Year 4 | $2,500,000 | $500,000 | $860,000 |
| Year 5 | $4,200,000 | $840,000 | $1,700,000 |
*Cumulative reserve is shown before withdrawals for investor exits or buybacks. Under the base-case model, gross reserve contributions total US$1,700,000 over five years.
The Reserve is a financial-management mechanism, not an independently funded guarantee, escrow account, insurance policy or representation that sufficient cash will necessarily be available at the time of an investor exit. The definitive agreement will state the contribution policy, permitted uses, reporting treatment and priority of payments.
DDD Investor Portal
Monitor the Performance of Your Investment
Every investor is intended to receive secure login access to the DDD Investor Portal. The portal is designed to provide visibility into relevant project and investment performance.

- User Signups

Ownership & Investor Rights
Dating Due Diligence and its associated intellectual property remain owned and controlled by Spice Holdings LLC. The proposed investment provides contractual investment, revenue-share and exit/buyback rights rather than equity ownership, voting rights or operational control unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.
The investment does not automatically provide shares or membership interests in Spice Holdings LLC or DDD, nor does it give investors voting, management, operational or intellectual-property rights.
Why Invest in DDD?
DDD combines a technology platform addressing an important online-dating challenge with a recurring-revenue business model. The proposed structure is designed to align investor returns with DDD's commercial growth while progressively building financial capacity for future investor exits.
CHECK BEFORE YOU DATE. KNOW BEFORE YOU TRUST.
Spice Holdings LLC believes that as online dating continues to connect hundreds of millions of people, there is an opportunity to establish Dating Due Diligence as a recognized resource for people who want to learn more before placing their trust in someone they have met online. The commercial model is designed to generate recurring revenue principally through user subscriptions and sponsorships, while Spice Holdings LLC retains ownership and operational control of DDD.
Recommended Investor Due-Diligence Package
To strengthen this proposal, Spice Holdings LLC intends to accompany it with:
- (1) A final use-of-funds budget
- (2) A revised definitive Investment and Revenue Share Agreement matching this proposal
- (3) Management assumptions supporting subscriber and sponsorship forecasts
- (4) Periodic management financial statements once operations generate data
- (5) Clear Investor Portal reporting definitions
These additions are intended to allow investors to test the projections rather than relying on headline returns alone.
Important Investment & Financial Projection Notice
This page is an investor-facing summary and financial model. The projections shown are illustrative management forecasts, not historical results or guarantees of future performance. Actual user growth, subscriptions, sponsorships, gross revenue, operating expenses, cash flow, Reserve contributions and investor distributions may differ materially.
Revenue-share distributions depend on actual applicable gross revenue generated and received. The Investor Buyback/Repayment Reserve is a proposed financial-management mechanism and does not constitute an escrow, insurance policy, independently funded guarantee or assurance that sufficient funds will be available at any particular time.
The existing DDD agreement contains different economic terms, including a fixed 5% gross-revenue share, a US$40,000 minimum tranche and an existing developer buyback structure. Before investments are accepted under the program described on this page, the definitive Investment and Revenue Share Agreement will be revised so that the legal terms match the US$10,000 minimum investment, proportional revenue-share schedule, 1-5 year term, Reserve policy and final exit/buyback provisions.
Prospective investors should review the definitive agreement and obtain independent legal, tax and financial advice appropriate to their circumstances before investing.
