Business Description

PopCom is a software company transforming automated retail for the age of AI, data, and compliance.

Our patented technology empowers brands to sell products in physical spaces—without the high costs of traditional retail—while unlocking powerful customer insights in real time. At the core of our platform is machine-agnostic software that uses computer vision and AI to collect anonymous demographic data (age, gender, emotion), optimize product performance, and support secure, compliant sales of regulated goods.

Following years of R&D and field validation, PopCom is now laser-focused on scaling a lean, software-first business model. With a refined strategy, recurring SaaS revenue, and proven demand from enterprise partners, PopCom is leading the next evolution in retail: one that is intelligent, automated, and built for the future of commerce.

PopCom has an operating history that includes multiple successful crowdfunding campaigns in 2019, 2020, and 2021, during which we raised over $7 million from thousands of investors. These early rounds allowed us to develop and launch three core products, validate the market demand for automated retail software, and test our PopShop kiosks in live environments and scale to $35,000 MRR from our pilot program, PopShop Local.

Problem

Solution

PopCom solves this by delivering an AI-powered software platform that turns any vending machine into a smart, secure, data-rich sales channel. We provide brands, distributors, and operators with the tools to grow, learn, and sell 24/7 — with lower risk, higher margins, and enhanced customer insights. PopCom doesn’t just automate retail — we elevate it with intelligence, security, and scalability.

Business Model

The PopCom Comeback

In 2023, the company paused operations after a planned Series A investment round fell through when the lead investor was unable to close their fund. While this presented a temporary setback, it also provided the opportunity to critically evaluate our business model. The experience revealed that our previous strategy—centered on hardware and the PopShop Local program—was too capital-intensive to scale profitably.

By relaunching with a focus on machine leasing, growing software subscriptions, and expanding into hardware-agnostic licensing, PopCom is poised not just to return, but to scale faster and more sustainably than ever before. We believe the challenges we faced made us stronger, sharper, and more prepared to build lasting value for our customers, partners, and investors.

In 2025, we’ve made significant operational changes to reduce our burn rate and increase financial sustainability:

• • Business Model Shift: We shifted focus to a SaaS-first model that prioritizes software licensing, data monetization, and recurring revenue over hardware deployments.
• • Cost Reduction Strategy: We’ve reduced overhead by outsourcing key responsibilities—such as maintenance, software development, and logistics—to trusted vendors with deep product knowledge.
• • Lean Staffing Model: We exclusively engage 1099 contractors and fractional teams, reducing long-term tax liabilities and fixed employee costs.
• • AI-Driven Efficiency: By integrating AI tools across customer service, analytics, and operations, we’ve streamlined internal workflows and improved speed to market.

Path to Profitability

PopCom’s go-to-market strategy is built for sustainable revenue growth, not rapid capital burn. We’re focused on validating demand, maximizing recurring income, and laying the foundation for a liquidity event by Year 3.

Year 1: Deploy, Monetize, Refine 

• • Lease and activate current inventory
• • Grow monthly SaaS subscriptions with a targeted group of enterprise and regulated retail clients
• • Rebuild our sales pipeline with a lean team focused on conversion and customer success
• • Prioritize MRR, onboarding revenue, and capital efficiency, not headcount or hardware expansion

Year 2: Scale Strategically

• • Add 50 new SaaS clients through targeted sales and channel partnerships
• • Expand enterprise licensing and compliance-based sales, earning recurring revenue and setup fees
• • With a controlled cost structure and lean operations, we project over $1,000,000 in net profit by Year 2

Year 3: Accelerate Toward Liquidity

With proven product-market fit, scalable SaaS infrastructure, and consistent revenue, PopCom will be well-positioned to pursue strategic options — including acquisition, venture funding, or a security token offering — to unlock shareholder value.

Market Projection

PopCom is positioned at the convergence of AI, data analytics, and automated retail — where demand is growing rapidly, but innovation still lags.

While e-commerce continues to expand, over 70% of global retail sales still happen offline, and there is a growing push to digitize physical retail experiences with smarter, data-driven solutions. PopCom fills this gap by transforming traditional vending into intelligent, connected points of sale that generate real-time customer insights and unlock new revenue opportunities.

• • The global retail analytics market is projected to grow to $31.7 billion by 2030, driven by demand for AI-powered insights, automation, and personalization at the point of sale.
• • The global smart vending machine market is expected to reach $21.2 billion by 2032, as businesses adopt intelligent kiosks and frictionless checkout solutions.
• • AI in retail is projected to hit $85 billion by 2030, with applications in demand forecasting, customer segmentation, and personalized product recommendations.
• • Studies show impulse buying accounts for up to 60–80% of retail purchases, and the likelihood of purchase increases when consumers can receive products instantly, making smart vending a high-conversion channel.

PopCom stands apart in this landscape by not just delivering products — but capturing and monetizing the data behind every interaction. While legacy hardware companies remain product-focused, we’re building a scalable data and AI platform that enables brands to sell smarter, not just faster.

NOTE TO INVESTORS ABOUT THE SPV

Regulation Crowdfunding allows an issuer to use a special purpose vehicle, or SPV. The technical legal term is a “crowdfunding vehicle.”

In this case, while the name of the Company itself is Solutions Vending International, Inc., the name of the SPV is Solutions Vending International SPV, LLC. You and all the other Regulation Crowdfunding investors will invest in Solutions Vending International SPV, LLC and Solutions Vending International SPV, LLC will, in turn, use your money to invest in Solutions Vending International, Inc. Hence, Solutions Vending International SPV, LLC will be reflected as one investor in Solutions Vending International, Inc.

Solutions Vending International, Inc. believes this structure – with one investor rather than many – will make it easier to raise additional capital in the future because the Offering will leave the Company with only one investor on its capitalization table.

Solutions Vending International SPV, LLC will conduct no business other than to invest in Solutions Vending International, Inc. The SPV has been organized and will be operated for the sole purpose of directly acquiring, holding and disposing of the Company’s securities, will not borrow money and will use all the proceeds from the sale of its securities solely to purchase a single class of securities of the Company. Solutions Vending International SPV, LLC will be managed by the Company itself. The Company’s use of the SPV is intended to allow investors in the SPV to achieve the same economic exposure, voting power, and ability to assert State and Federal law rights, and receive the same disclosures, as if they had invested directly in the Company. The Company’s use of the SPV will not result in any additional fees being charged to investors.

Although Solutions Vending International, Inc. is a corporation, you will be an owner of Solutions Vending International SPV, LLC, which is a limited liability company. Hence, you will receive IRS Form K-1 for tax reporting purposes.

All the information about “the Company” in this Form C refers to Solutions Vending International, Inc., not to Solutions Vending International SPV, LLC unless otherwise indicated.

NOTE TO INVESTORS: As explained above, you will invest in Solutions Vending International SPV, LLC, not in the Company directly. You will receive an interest in Solutions Vending International SPV, LLC called “Investor Units” while Solutions Vending International SPV, LLC will receive shares of Class C Common Stock issued by the Company. The governing documents of Solutions Vending International SPV, LLC, being its Certificate of Formation and Limited Liability Company Agreement (EXHIBIT E and EXHIBIT G), and the Investor Units to be issued to you from Solutions Vending International SPV, LLC, are intended to put you in the same position as if you had purchased shares of Class C Common Stock directly from the Company.

Voting Proxy to the Manager

The SPV investor units do not have voting rights. With respect to those voting rights, the investor and his, her, or its transferees or assignees (collectively, the “Investor”), through a voting proxy granted by Investor in the subscription agreement (Exhibit C), has appointed or will appoint the Manager, Solutions Vending International, Inc., as the Investor’s true and lawful proxy (the “Proxy”) with the power to act alone and with full power of substitution, on behalf of the Investor to: (i) vote all securities related to the Company purchased in an offering hosted by PicMii Crowdfunding, LLC, and (ii) execute, in connection with such voting power any instrument or document that the Manager determines is necessary and appropriate in the exercise of his or her authority. The Investor Units shall have one hundred percent (100%) of the economic rights and no management rights other than to replace the Manager upon a majority vote at a duly called meeting. The Manager Units shall be held only by Solutions Vending International, Inc., or its affiliates or assigns.  The Manager Units will confer no economic rights but shall confer one hundred percent (100%) of the management authority to the holders of the Manager Units. The holders of Manager Units shall have all rights necessary to manage the business affairs of the Company, including but not limited to, the authority to direct the acquisition, holding, and disposition of the Company’s assets, and to make all decisions regarding the Company’s operations without requiring the consent of the holders of the Investor Units, subject to limitations in Delaware state law, participation in tender offers, mergers, acquisitions, or any other matters requiring shareholder approval.
