Founding Chef Collection
A possible limited-edition campaign using the existing platform, subject to participant agreements, rights approvals, production scope, and mutual approval.

Vision brief · not a proposalBEYOND THE
FIRST LAUNCH.
The first connected retail experience is a focused beginning. This is the larger opportunity we would be excited to explore together over time.
This page is a discussion brief—not a contract, funding request, promise of results, or commitment by either company. Every future initiative would require its own approved scope, economics, responsibilities, and written agreement.
Why we are excited
IS A FOUNDATION.
We believe our first project together could be only the beginning.
State of Stick Platform → Food & Beverage / Culinary → Chef Collections, Connected Recipes, Bottle Experiences, Seasonal Collections, Tasting Programs, Gifting, and Events. Chef Collections are one campaign format within the broader reusable platform.
The culinary vertical
CREATE A NETWORK.
Old World Olive Co. can be the first real culinary use case—not because every step below is predetermined, but because a successful starting experience creates a credible path to the next conversation.

Ideas we would love to explore
PROGRAMS.
Connected Recipe Series
Selected bottles can open approved recipes, techniques, pairings, and stories through existing managed StickLink destinations.
Seasonal Collections
Holiday, summer, Michigan favorites, gift sets, and limited releases can each become a distinct connected collection.
Connected Tasting Passport
A planned capability for collecting tasting experiences and remembering favorites. A passport account, automated rewards, and dedicated participant portal are not current product features.
Culinary Events
Physical touchpoints can support links to separately operated event discovery, registration, voting, education, and follow-up. State of Stick does not currently provide a dedicated event system.
Artist + Chef Collaborations
Future approved programs could connect culinary storytelling, physical craft, artists, and chefs under campaign-specific rights, compensation, and production terms.
Ways to grow together
VENDOR RELATIONSHIP.
The right role can change by initiative. We would define it together rather than assume Old World Olive Co. should participate in every program.
Retail partnerLaunch and learn from new connected collections.
Referral partnerIntroduce qualified chefs, retailers, and food brands under separate written terms.
Event partnerHost launch moments, tastings, and collaborative programs.
Collection partnerCo-create limited editions with an agreed scope and economics.
SponsorSupport a defined flagship initiative with clear deliverables.
Alliance structures
CREATE VALUE.
If Old World Olive Co. helps create measurable growth, we are open to defining earned benefits. These are possible structures for future written agreements—not rewards granted by this page.
Qualified introductions
A referral commission could be established in a separate written agreement.
New collection launches
A collaboration structure could be defined around the work, contribution, and approved economics.
Hosted events
Preferred event pricing could be offered for a specific approved program.
Network growth
Production advantages could be earned when real volume and operating economics support them.
A possible growth sequence
EARN THE NEXT STEP.
Each stage should be justified by customer behavior, partner interest, and operating evidence.

Implementation boundary
BUILD THE FIRST.
EARN THE NEXT.
Initial launches may use a managed workflow while dedicated culinary tools are developed. Every later collection, event, gifting program, production run, participant payment, or marketplace concept requires its own approved scope and economics.
This proposal covers Old World’s implementation only. It does not grant exclusive rights, reseller rights, channel rights, or ownership interests. Those opportunities may be explored separately by mutual agreement.
The invitation
WHICH OPPORTUNITY CREATES
THE MOST VALUE?
We would value Old World Olive Co.’s perspective on which ideas could matter most to the business, its customers, and the broader culinary community. If one initiative stands out, we would love to explore it together—without changing the scope of the first launch.
