Seeking $30,000 for a gold settlement opportunity

My business partner and I began brokering gold four months ago. It took time to secure both a reliable supplier/mine and a legitimate buyer, but we now have both sides locked in and are working on direct-to-government contracts (happy to disclose more on a call).

Traction:
Last month, we completed a 10kg transaction that generated ~$300,000 in revenue. We’re now scaling to 20kg this month, which is expected to roll into a 12-month recurring contract.

Use of Funds:
In standard gold contracts, the buyer side covers ~10% of export/customs costs, with the seller covering the remaining 90%. We’ve already funded the majority of our portion and are looking to close the final $30K to complete this shipment.

Process & Risk Mitigation:
We have a scheduled meeting with the buyer’s refinery in ~2 weeks. Settlement is same-day (or immediately post-inspection) upon delivery. We will personally escort the gold to ensure full control over execution. This is the exact process we successfully completed on our prior 10kg deal.

Return:
We’re offering a 25% return within 2 weeks — equating to a $7,500 profit on a $30K contribution.

If this is of interest, I’m happy to jump on a call and share full documentation (contracts, mining licenses, assay reports, live gold footage, etc.) for due diligence.

Team:
We're 2 Berkeley grads, and former VC-backed founders. I worked in tech (ex-Meta), and my partner was former private wealth management. We both decided to 'exit' the 9-5, and have been consulting, and brokering commodities for the past half year/year. Happy to share our LinkedIns.
