Strategic Investment in Global Premium Memorial Solutions

Why Now

Death is transitioning from taboo to design. Millennials and Gen Z are redefining memory, legacy, and beauty in the funeral industry. This is not a trend—it is a demographic inevitability.

By 2050: 
92 million deaths annually. Every death requires a decision about memorialization. The premium segment is growing at 14% per year. Standard caskets look identical. Voyager fills the aesthetic void.

Market Drivers

  • -1-

    Regulation

    Culture

What You Acquire

  • -1-

     Brand Asset

    Not a coffin. A design object. A cultural movement. The positioning "funerals are becoming a form of art" creates premium justification and protection from price competition.

  • -2-

    Intellectual Property

    Industrial design patent protecting enhanced models since 2015. 15 years of monopoly on design innovation until 2030. Patent barriers maintain margins above 75%.

  • -3-

    Cultural Leadership

    Moscow exhibition 2015 (Necropol-Tanexpo) validated the concept. Media confirmed: "Funerals are becoming a form of art." Voyager is positioned as cultural, not commercial.
  • -4-

    Ready Opportunities

    Inquiries from 6 countries (USA, Austria, Japan, Spain, Russia, Australia) are not hypothetical. These are active commercial signals. This is not concept validation; this is market demand in motion.
  • -5-

    Scalable Operating Model

    No massive factory lock-in. Flexible production with regional partners allows rapid scaling, quality control, and cost optimization. Margins stay high because CAPEX remains low.

Financial Model and Valuation

Current Valuation
€32M
€4M EBITDA × 8x multiple (conservative)


  • Exit Scenarios

    Scenario 1: Strategic Buyer

    LVMH, Richemont, Brunello Cucinelli. Valuation: €25–40M (8–10x EBITDA). Timeline: When EBITDA reaches €5M+.
  • Exit Scenarios

    Scenario 2: Scale & Hold

    3 premium salons generating €200–300K EBITDA monthly (Year 3+). Valuation: €30–50M (7–10x). Timeline: Year 5–7.
Why the Multiple Will Be Higher Than 8x
  • Luxury Brand with Creative Leader: 
    Luxury brands with embedded creators trade at a premium. Difference: +€4–8M at exit.
  • Authentic Storytelling:
    Reduces advertising spend by 30%. Founder-led narratives require less paid promotion.
  • Brand Loyalty:
     Increases 40% when customers know the artist. Premium pricing is justified.
  • Strategic Buyers Pay Premium:
     LVMH, Richemont pay extra for "creator-led" brands. Significantly reduces acquisition risk.

Why the Creative Director Remains

This is not an optional role. This is a structural element of valuation.

Luxury brands that retain their founders and chief designers grow 3–5x faster than the industry. They trade at 10–14x EBITDA multiples (vs. 8x industry average).
Success Case Studies
  • Brunello Cucinelli:
    Founder remained Creative/Cultural Director despite scaling to €600M+ revenue. Premium pricing: 30–50% above competitors. IPO valued brand at 12x EBITDA (vs. 8x industry average).
  • Tom Ford (Gucci):
     Sold majority stake to private equity, remained Creative Director. Brand valuation increased 8x within 5 years.
  • Luxury Heritage Brands:
    Consistently retained founders/chief designers. Post-acquisition growth: 3–5x faster than industry average. Design heritage + operational excellence = highest multiples in luxury.
What This Means for You as Buyer
  • Design consistency guaranteed. No need for expensive external designers.
  • Authenticity embedded in operations.
  • Creative Director remaining in role signals confidence in the business thesis. Reduces investor skepticism.
  • Cultural brands with embedded creators trade at premium valuations. Difference: €4–8M at exit.

  • Patent Expiration: 
    Patent expires 2030. Maximum value extraction occurs 2025–2028. Timing matters for ROI.
