Understanding the investment opportunity
Tot-em is building the jewelry of the future. They started in 2015 with a unique product in the sector: jewelry with your voice. The jewelry is created with the shape of the sound waves of the message you record. A message that you can always listen to on their website.
It is not a company in its infancy: in its first 5 years they grew with their own funds and 2 years ago they raised their first round with Cabiedes as lead investor. Their goal was to open the European market and they succeeded: now 55% of sales are in Italy, France and Germany.
In addition to Voz, they now also make more personalized jewelry: Estrellas, Coordenadas and Momenti.
Momenti is similar to a private social network (see more in Business model).
This product strategy allowed them to almost double their turnover (+94%) in 2020 compared to the previous year, reaching €1.1 million in revenue (€1.33 M including VAT).

Reasons to invest View more data
- The capacity for international growth.
- In less than a year, they have already sold 55% of their turnover in Italy, France and Germany. Being countries with greater purchasing power and a larger target market than Spain, they still have a long way to go to saturate these new markets. They also plan to enter other huge markets such as the USA in 2022.
- The first 3-6 months of sales in a new country are not profitable and that is why they are looking for investment.
- In 2020 they almost doubled their turnover (+94%) by having only customized products.
The growth potential of new lines of business.
- Momenti. 20% of customers are still using it after 6 months (without even having notifications yet). This is great news for their category (Consumer Social). It is the first product they have launched with a network effect, and it represents 10% of sales without advertising.
- Monthly releases. Until now they launched a collection every year. They saw that this increased turnover, and from November 2021 they will release a jewelry collection every month.
- Retail. They are closing agreements with the largest distributor in Spain and several jewelry store chains to start distributing in 2022.
- The company's sales possibilities. Tot-em is built to be interesting for many companies:
- Large companies would benefit from purchasing Tot-em to offer customized products and differentiate themselves from their competition. Tot-em's customization and operations software is proprietary.
- Other traditional companies do not reach millennials and gen Z customers. By buying Tot-em, they could increase their turnover by expanding their target market.
- Momenti is especially interesting for traditional jewelry companies such as Pandora®, Tiffany®, Tous®..., because:
- It keeps them using a direct sales channel.
- It generates network effect (the more people use it, the more incentive to attract new users) and makes it more difficult for a competitor to enter the category.
- In addition, it is personalized after purchase, so it could be sold in physical points of sale.
- Benefits. Investing you will have a free Tot-em (up to 80€) and a 30% discount as long as you are an investor.
