Advisory Board Newsletter
Happy Holidays GO Angels & Prospective Investors.
If you’re seeing this, it’s because you’ve made or are considering making an investment in this city you live and love. This is the cheapest that this opportunity will ever exist (skip to the end for pricing), so for the curious and ambitious, don’t let this be the deal you didn’t do that haunts you.
But for this week all parties from this smaller cohort, those involved and those considering, will get access to this private newsletter one last time. We'll allow you a second to press play on your best NYC or Succession playlist... Alright here we go.
Here at the center of the world NYC’s neighborhoods, communities, SMBs (small businesses), and economies serve as models for the best of humanity.
Additionally, when corrupted by myopic greed and $22 hollowed hipster burger joints with no soul (fries extra) it can represent the worst.
This is not an argument for turning back the clock to some better time. You can’t fight technology, but you can utilize it for good.
Herein lies our competitive advantage and driving force. GO’s B2B2C marketplace is an evolution alongside and ahead of technical trends to right the ship.
We’re studied, resourced, sympathetic, and we ship pragmatic software at the speed of light. We hope you’ll join us. And so together, let’s briefly explore how we’ll achieve this.
By now, you’ve either already briefly read about this media-enabled marketplace or better yet experienced it in detail at our Gotham Oracle Influencers & Investors Dinner (+content on the way). If you haven’t yet, give that article a read to briefly understand how the components of our website will naturally market and convert GO users (e.g. Fig. 1 example GO Deals from the event)
Our MVP exists. Now we can share our Go-To-Market strategy; a naturally scaling and thoughtfully monetizing critical mass takeover expanding from locality to locality propelling SMBs, Customers/Users, and GO along the way.
In fact, is it that exact flywheel which we’ll start spinning (Fig. 2)
We've put the tools and team in place. And we've seen this work on a small scale (Fig. 3 & Fig. 4).
We're starting to get a sense of how this thing can really work across NYC.

This is how seriously we believe you should see this technology's capabilities. If you're considering a larger investment (> $25,000) then you should see how we’re sculpting the future.
Come join our weekly all-hands meeting. Come look under the hood and see how quickly this well oiled machine moves from identification of problem through solution to product shipment. Contact Quinn to join as a guest Wednesday at 7:00pm est. PSA an NDA will be required to join this meeting.
Here's our more formal G-Slides Pitch Deck for those interested. Though, as this newsletter proves out, experiential apps are best experienced.
Pricing
Now onto pricing. Approach this from an investor's mindset. For example, while this flywheel isn't spinning yet, what respectively small investment is needed to make this first Bushwick flywheel (N) spin? We believe that initial amount to achieve critical mass (Σ) is < $50,000. And between this cohort, we're closer now.
What incremental open source momentum naturally occurs for every next flywheel once N is spinning? We believe localities N+1 (e.g. Bedstuy + Ridgewood) will only need (.8)(Σ) = $40,000, N+2 (e.g. Williamsburg+) will only need (.6)(Σ) = $30,000, and so on into Manhattan and across NYC via network effects, FOMO, and microeconomic incentives.
So perhaps most importantly when considering the Total Addressable Market (TAM) and evaluation... If GO works in one neighborhood, why can’t it work in every neighborhood? In time, why can’t it work across a % of NYC’s 50,000+ Restaurants, 9M Citizens, & 65M Annual Tourists?
Terms: Pre-Seed Raise of $250,000 at a 20% Discount via SAFEs (Simple Agreement for Future Equity)
Deadline for verbal committment: January 15th, 2026
Deadline on your SAFE to secure 20% Discount: January 31st, 2026
What is a SAFE?
A SAFE allows investors to make an investment now which will convert into shares in the next priced round at a valuation to be determined in that round.
About your investment
You’re investing some multiple of $5,000 (e.g. US$10,000) in Gotham Oracle, which will convert into shares when we do our next priced round.
If we have a new priced round, your investment will convert into shares at a valuation that’s the lower of:
(i) a discount of 20% applied to the price per share paid by new investors in that priced round, and
(ii) a YC post-money cap of US$2,500,000.
Document pages best viewed on desktop. See example SAFE pdf that you'll receive via email after January 15th, 2026.
Grab me (Quinn) for coffee or dinner ASAP and think about this through the end-of-year. We've loved meeting folks these past two weeks.
We'd love YOU to be a part of it all. 2026 will be an incredible year for New York City. Let's GO!
Cheers,
The GO Team
