TEAM

Rick Nielsen • Co-Owner

Rick Nielsen is an American musician and singer-songwriter, and is best known as the lead guitarist, main songwriter, and leader of Cheap Trick. Rick was born into a musical family, but he strayed from his opera singing parents to pursue a Rock & Roll career. He grew up learning to play different instruments in his family's music shop in Rockford, Illinois. Cheap Trick was born in 1973 with Bun E. Carlos, with his fellow band members joining sooner on. He's been creating music and touring since, and also created the famous five-neck guitar, as seen in his profile image and in ROCK'N Vodka logos. Rick has made numerous appearances on film and television, with multiple songs in different soundtracks. Performances on stages across the globe, music played on radio and streaming services everyday, and the band becoming a household name, it was no surprise that Cheap Trick was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. Rick became an investor in the new Hard Rock Rockford Casino as it was a major development in his hometown, and as Hard Rock is known to do, the company displayed this rockstar's memorabilia as the grand showcase. Through Hard Rock, Rick met Andy and was introduced to ROCK'N Vodka. Rick Nielsen was officially announced as the brand ambassador for ROCK'N Vodka in 2020. He later became a third owner of the brand and has become the face of the company. He continues to promote ROCK'N as he tours around the world, and regularly participates in marketing the brand by making appearances in-person, on social media, in radio, and more.

Karen Nielsen • Co-Owner

Born in Rockford, Illinois, and wife to Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame legend Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick. Most importantly, she is the brains of the operation (jokes Rick Nielsen). She has played an integral role in Rick Nielsen's illustrious, 50-plus-year career, taking part in everything from branding to negotiating contracts. She is now assisting in the strategy for ROCK'N Vodka's growth. She is responsible for networking on behalf of the brand, such as sending bottles of ROCK'N to her celebrity friends, and partakes in the philanthropy projects of the company.

"Her biggest asset to the team is teaching us patience, as her go-to line is slow and steady" - Andy Roiniotis.

Andrew Roiniotis • Vice President and Director

Born to Greek immigrants, Andrew (Andy) grew up working every role in the hospitality industry through his family restaurants in Waukegan, Illinois. Andy credits his father, Gus, for his strong work ethic as he was taught every responsibility in the business, and now he instills those same lessons into his current businesses and into his children. He credits his mother, Youla, for his thinking out-of-the-box mentality and not being afraid to take chances. This lead Andy to Hollywood, where he created Four Play, a reality show. Swimming with the sharks in Hollywood, Andy learned and credits his business strategies and negotiation skills that are still used today. In 2005, he moved to Rockford, Illinois to start a new restaurant with his partner Denny Trakas. Not settling for the success of one business, Andy and his partners turned one location into a group by launching three more restaurants and other businesses. In 2015, Andy and his wife Isabelle started Bella Rio Consulting, which oversaw branding/consulting and community relations for their enterprises. In over thirteen years, they grew the companies to over 200 employees throughout seven businesses. Andy and his partners wanted to ensure that they always gave back to the community. They have since raised upwards of $500,000 for various charities in the last decade and have invested over $5,000,000 in Illinois by identifying opportunities and activating a blended network to drive success thus resulting in a stronger local economy. Andy became a community leader and sought to share his knowledge with others everywhere, including local municipalities and nonprofit organizations. In 2019, a dream was turned into a reality as Bella Rio became the parent company of ROCK'N Vodka, the now multi-award-winning, sugarcane spirit. Andy's hard work and philithrophy allowed him the opportunity to invest in one of the most iconic brands in the world, Hard Rock Casino. There, Andy kept crossing paths with Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick and later introduced him to ROCK'N Vodka, where Rick became a partner. "If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room." Andy believes that a person should constantly be educating themselves on the newest information and technologies.

THE PITCH

ROCK'N Vodka is a multi-award-winning brand that is co-owned by Rock n' Roll Hall of Famer Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick. Our vodka is made from 100%, non-GMO, and gluten-free sugarcane, making it one of the few sugarcane vodkas in the world. In 2022, we doubled our retail locations and increased our sales by 84.1%, with placements in major retailers and partnerships with major distributors. With major growth in sales and social media engagement, we plan to continue to open up to new markets into 2023.

The Spirit That Thinks Outside the Box

We make fun and unique vodka that grabs the attention of consumers by using 100% non-GMO and gluten free sugar cane. Our founders Andy Roiniotis and Denny Trakas have been partners for 18 years, with a background in the restaurant hospitality business, and have successfully flipped 5 restaurants. We sell ROCK'N Vodka to distributors who then sell to retailers, and also sell both the vodka and merchandise directly to consumers from our website, including a crypto payment option!

The Problem

The Vodka Market Lacks Excitement and Innovation

Vodka is a delicious, versatile favorite amongst spirits, but currently the bourbon and tequila markets dominate the specialty spirit category. We know that with a little innovation, vodka holds the same potential, and we are here to get people excited about vodka again!

While developing our product, we realized that although sugar cane rums are quite common, many people still have not heard of sugarcane vodka. That’s where ROCK’N comes in.

The Solution

ROCK'N Makes Vodka Fun Again!

Our vodka is made from 100%, non-GMO, and gluten-free sugarcane, making it one of the few sugarcane vodkas in the world. Its smooth, distinctive, and delicious taste makes it great to sip on the rocks, add to a drink, or use when cooking. It is distilled 4 times, with no sugar added after distillation, and is both gluten-free and vegan-friendly. Even people who dislike vodka have reported that they were pleasantly surprised by our product, and would choose to drink it!

*These testimonials may not represent other customers' experiences and are not a guarantee of future performance or success.

The Market

With American vodka on the rise, our distinct flavor and celebrity-owned brand set us apart

Sugarcane vodkas are a special niche appealing to both loyal vodka drinkers and partisans of any alcoholic beverage. Our current retail markets include California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin, and Alberta and British Columbia in Canada.

Being one of only a few sugarcane vodkas in the world, our unique flavor sets us apart. We are currently in a unique position for growth, as many restaurants, bars, and retailers are removing all Russian vodkas due to current world events.

Our Traction

Celebrity Endorsements, Notable Features, and Major Partnerships

As a celebrity-owned brand gaining increasing global recognition, we have an edge on the competition thanks to our promotions by co-owners Rick Nielsen, Daxx Nielsen, and Miles Nielsen. We have received numerous endorsements from celebrities and influencers like Sammy Hagar, Shannon MacDonald, Corey Anderson, and Rulon Gardner.

Our sales increased by 84.10% in 2022, with e-commerce sales increasing by 1,054%. We had over 15 million impressions on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube alone in 2022. Our Facebook followers grew over 800% in 2022 to 32,000+ fans.

ROCK’N Vodka was featured in Forbes as the Double Gold Winner at the New York International Spirits Competition in 2021, and won Silver at the World Spirits Competition in San Francisco in the same year. In 2022, ROCK'N Vodka also won the Double Gold for packaging and design and the Gold award for taste at the PR%F Awards, the Silver award at the US Spirits Awards, and the Silver award at the Bartender Spirits Competition. We are officially trademarked in the United States, with a pending trademark in Canada.

Why Invest

A Unique, Recognizable Brand and Strong Partnerships in an Evolving Market

Our goal is to make ROCK’N Vodka a household name and easily accessible to every consumer in any environment. We have already formed partnerships with iconic brands and top-tier distributors, and the current events of today put us in a unique position for significant market capture, as an increasing number of bars, restaurants and retailers opt for American vodka. This fundraise will be used to increase our growth rate through higher-budgeted marketing, hiring sales representatives in every market, incentives for distributor sales representatives, and more POS and merchandise. We hope you’ll be a part of our success story!

An issuer can only offer a single audience-based bonus.

For example, a 10% audience-based bonus (i.e. prior investors) + a 10% OWNer’s bonus would receive an aggregate of 20% bonus shares.

*All perks occur when the offering is completed.

The 10% StartEngine Owners' Bonus

Bella Rio Consulting, Inc. dba ROCK'N Vodka will offer 10% additional bonus shares for all investments that are committed by investors that are eligible for the StartEngine Crowdfunding Inc. OWNer's bonus.

This means eligible StartEngine shareholders will receive a 10% bonus for any shares they purchase in this offering. For example, if you buy 100 shares of Preferred Series B at $1.90 per share, you will receive 110 Preferred Series B, meaning you'll own 110 shares for $190. Fractional shares will not be distributed and share bonuses will be determined by rounding down to the nearest whole share.

This 10% Bonus is only valid during the investor eligibility period. Investors eligible for this bonus will also have priority if they are on a waitlist to invest and the company surpasses its maximum funding goal. They will have the first opportunity to invest should room in the offering become available if prior investments are canceled or fail.

Investors will receive the highest single bonus they are eligible for among the bonuses based on the amount invested and time of offering elapsed (if any). Eligible investors will also receive the Owner’s Bonus in addition to the aforementioned bonus.

Irregular Use of Proceeds

The Company might incur Irregular Use of Proceeds that may include but are not limited to the following over $10,000: Salary payments made to one’s self, a friend or relative. Any expense labeled “Travel and Entertainment”.

Secure 1 of Only 200 Limited-Edition Bourbons!

In Celebration of Rick Nielsen's 5-Year Anniversary with ROCK'N Vodka and our new joint venture with Kennay Farms Distilling, we are offering everyone the chance to get our new "Angel's Share" Bourbon, a super exclusive, limited-edition bourbon where only 200 bottles will not only ever be produced, but they can't ever be recreated!

The "Angel's Share" bourbon will be the first bottles ever produced under a brand created by our investors, with the bourbon spirit picked by connoisseurs, investors, and Rick Nielsen himself. Each bottle will be numbered out of 200 and signed by Rick Nielsen, with Rick even serenading the bourbon (while still in the barrel) by playing a guitar to it. This bourbon will have a unique profile that can never be exactly recreated, just as the "first ever bottles" can never be recreated! Every bourbon barrel creates a slightly different flavor profile as there are multiple factors that affect the spirit, and because of this, the bourbon for the "Angel's Share" can never be perfectly recreated!

All qualifying investors will be invited to an exclusive event held at our new distillery, Kennay Farms Distilling, to personally receive their "Angel's Share" bourbon, get a tour of the facility, hang out with Rick Nielsen and the ROCK'N Team, and participate in the "Devil's Cut" auction.

The barrel chosen for the "Angel's Share" bourbon will be hand-painted by Shannon MacDonald, the World's Greatest Beatles Artist, with a design that matches the winning label of the bourbon. All qualifying investors will be able to participate in a live auction for the empty barrel, called the "Devil's Cut" auction, where all net proceeds will be given to a 501(c)(3) charity.

To all existing investors: You have the option to setup your bank account to receive automatic disbursements in the event of a dividend or other payout issuance. You may have the option to receive payouts if declared by the company, subject to performance and applicable regulations.

ROCK'N VODKA JOINT VENTURE

In Celebration of Rick Nielsen's 5 Year Anniversary with ROCK'N Vodka and our new joint venture with Kennay Farms Distilling, we are offering incredible new bonuses for our investors! Learn more and watch through our video to get a detailed explanation on our Investor Relations Page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rocknvodkainvestorrelations

ALERT! MUST SEE NEWS: A Promising Joint Venture

MUST SEE NEWS: A Promising Joint Venture Unveiled

Bella Rio Consulting, Inc. D.B.A. ROCK'N Vodka has executed a joint venture agreement with an additional distillery, and we were just given the keys to this amazing opportunity and facility! ROCK'N Vodka has partnered with Kennay Farms Distilling in Illinois, the largest craft distillery in the state with a 30,000 sq ft facility and over $6 Million in inventory. Through this joint venture, ROCK'N gains:

Revenue potential with the ability to sell and profit from 3,000+ Barrels of Aging Bourbon (some aged up to 4.5 years already) along with Whiskey, Gin, and other spirits.
Massive, state-of-the-art facility capable of producing multiple bourbon barrels and other spirits in a single day.
Beautiful tasting room / bar to host public and private events, such as celebrity tours, meet and greets, weddings, and more, in which all products can be sold through retail on site (thanks to direct retail, the profit margin of selling on site is massively higher compared to wholesale).
The ability to private or white label products for other suppliers, accounts, and even celebrities.
Sell bourbons to accounts, distilleries, or other suppliers through barrel-picks.

What exactly does this mean for ROCK'N Vodka?

Though this joint venture, Kennay Farms' products are absorbed into ROCK'N Vodka's portfolio. By expanding our product line-up to bourbons (the top trending spirit in the market) and other spirits, we are able to capitalize and earn revenue on additional sales. The facility itself is open to ROCK'N Vodka.

This agreement, which includes a multi-million dollar facility, along with millions worth of inventory (all of Kennay's tangible assets), has been added to ROCK'N Vodka's valuation. In the event of an acquisition, which would be spearheaded by the ROCK'N team, Kennay Farms Distillery will be included in the sale, thus potentially increasing the value and profit of our share.

Thanks to our history with ROCK'N Vodka, we already have multiple leads across the nation interested in purchasing the bourbons, as well as both accounts, suppliers, and celebrities with a major interest in white labeling their brands through our joint venture.

The possibilities of this joint venture are endless, and we're still only scratching the surface of our ideas. This was made possible in large part due to you, our investors. Thanks to your continued support, our team has been able to develop the systems that helped us close on this deal.

We have an extremely exciting update about this joint venture already, which we'll fully announce next week. So stay tuned, as you could be a part of history and be one of the first to own your very own extremely limited-edition, first-ever "Angel's Share!"

ROCK'N Vodka New Market Updates

ROCK'N Vodka is now officially live in both Indiana (through RNDC) and Nevada (through Breakthru Beverage)!

Indiana is a new market that has been launched with one of the largest distributors nationwide, and along with the launch, we have scheduled a Rick Nielsen bottle signing in January! We will provide the details for this signing in another update. This is the first time in ROCK'N Vodka's history that an entire pallet of product was sold to an account before it had even landed at our distributor's warehouse!

While Nevada was an already active market, we have upgraded distributors (again to one of the most prominent distributors in the market) in order to provide better service and distribution capabilities to accounts and consumers.

You can help ROCK'N Vodka grow in both markets by asking your favorite retail store or restaurant/bar to bring in ROCK'N! It's as easy as:

1. Ask the store if they can carry ROCK'N Vodka.

2. Let them know it is distributed by our respective distributor and that they can order online at:

RNDC in Indiana: https://www.rocknvodkas.com/rndc-in
Breakthru in Nevada: https://www.rocknvodkas.com/breakthru-nevada

To our knowledge, we are the first and only brand that processes orders for accounts and sends the data in real-time to distributor partners! This is the system that has been consistently called "game-changing" in the industry!

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

What will the return on my investment be?

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

Can I cancel my investment?

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.

What is the difference between Regulation Crowdfunding and Regulation A+?

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.

IN MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION, INVESTORS MUST RELY ON THEIR OWN EXAMINATION OF THE ISSUER AND THE TERMS OF THE OFFERING, INCLUDING THE MERITS AND RISKS INVOLVED. INVESTMENTS ON STARTENGINE ARE SPECULATIVE, ILLIQUID, AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK, INCLUDING THE POSSIBLE LOSS OF YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

www.StartEngine.com is a website owned and operated by StartEngine Crowdfunding, Inc. (“StartEngine”), which is neither a registered broker-dealer, investment advisor nor funding portal.

Unless indicated otherwise with respect to a particular issuer, all securities-related activity is conducted by regulated affiliates of StartEngine: StartEngine Capital LLC, a funding portal registered here with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and here as a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), or StartEngine Primary LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and FINRA / SIPC. You can review the background of our broker-dealer and our investment professionals on FINRA’s BrokerCheck here. StartEngine Secondary is an alternative trading system (ATS) regulated by the SEC and operated by SE Primary. SE Primary is a member of SIPC and explanatory brochures are available upon request by contacting SIPC at (202) 371-8300.

StartEngine facilitates three types of primary offerings:

1) Regulation A offerings (JOBS Act Title IV; known as Regulation A+), which are offered to non-accredited and accredited investors alike. These offerings are made through StartEngine Primary, LLC (unless otherwise indicated). 2) Regulation D offerings (Rule 506(c)), which are offered only to accredited investors. These offerings are made through StartEngine Primary, LLC. 3) Regulation Crowdfunding offerings (JOBS Act Title III), which are offered to non-accredited and accredited investors alike. These offerings are made through StartEngine Capital, LLC. Some of these offerings are open to the general public, however there are important differences and risks.

Any securities offered on this website have not been recommended or approved by any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority. StartEngine and its affiliates do not provide any investment advice or recommendation and do not provide any legal or tax advice concerning any securities. All securities listed on this site are being offered by, and all information included on this site is the responsibility of, the applicable issuer of such securities.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment. See additional general disclosures here.

Canadian Investors

Investment opportunities posted and accessible through the site will not be offered to Canadian resident investors. Potential investors are strongly advised to consult their legal, tax and financial advisors before investing. The securities offered on this site are not offered in jurisdictions where public solicitation for offerings is not permitted; it is solely your responsibility to comply with the laws and regulations of your country of residence.

StartEngine Marketplace

StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC.

StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”) is our investor trading platform. SE Secondary is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (“ATS”) operated by SE Primary that matches orders for buyers and sellers of securities. It allows investors to trade shares purchased through Regulation A+, Regulation Crowdfunding, or Regulation D for companies who have engaged StartEngine Secure LLC as their transfer agent. The term “Rapid,” when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace, specifically refers to transactions that are facilitated on SE Secondary, This is because, unlike with trades on the StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”), trades on SE Secondary are executed the moment that they are matched.

StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”) is a bulletin board platform on which users can indicate to each other their interest to buy or sell shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings not necessarily through SE Primary. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about such private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. All investment opportunities on SE BB are based on indicated interest from sellers and will need to be confirmed. Even if parties express mutual interest to enter into a trade on SE BB, a trade will not immediately result because execution is subject to additional contingencies, including among others, effecting of the transfer of the shares from the potential seller to the potential buyer by the issuer and/or transfer agent. SE BB is distinct and separate from SE Secondary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. By contrast, under SE BB, SE Primary assists with the facilitation of a potential resulting trade off platform including, by among other things, approaching the issuer and other necessary parties in relation to the potential transaction. The term “Extended”, when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace denotes that these transactions are conducted via SE BB, and that these transactions may involve longer processing times compared to SE Secondary for the above-stated reasons.

Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on SE Marketplace, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.

The availability of company information does not indicate that the company has endorsed, supports, or otherwise participates with StartEngine. It also does not constitute an endorsement, solicitation or recommendation by StartEngine. StartEngine does not (1) make any recommendations or otherwise advise on the merits or advisability of a particular investment or transaction, (2) assist in the determination of the fair value of any security or investment, or (3) provide legal, tax, or transactional advisory services.
