Risk Factors Investment in the Class C Units involves a high degree of risk and should not be purchased by anyone who cannot afford the loss of his or her entire investment. Prior to purchasing the Class C Units, each prospective investor is urged to consult with his or her legal, financial and/or other professional advisors, and should carefully review and consider the factors set forth in the section of this Offering Circular entitled RISK FACTORS.
5
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully read and consider the risks described below before making your investment decision. The risks described below are not the only risks we face. If any of the events described in these risk factors, elsewhere in this Offering Circular or the documents described herein should occur, or additional risks not presently known to us should occur, or risks not currently considered by us to be material should occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation could be harmed and you could lose all or part of your investment. An investment in the Class C Units involves a high degree of risk and should not be undertaken by any person who cannot afford a loss of his or her entire investment.
We have a very limited operating history.
We are an early development stage company, and have been in the limited operations stage since we were founded in August 2013. During this time we have conducted only initial business operations such as the initial development of our business model, space leasing, hosting events community development and sales activities related to obtaining tenants at the Companys coworking facility. To provide cash for operations and consideration for services rendered, the Company has been dependent on limited seed capital from its founders: Rodney Sampson, Earl Coleman, Jr., Brandon Rickman and Bradley Kirkland (together, the Founders). It is therefore difficult to assess the Companys future operating results. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, delays, risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by businesses in their initial stages of operations, many of which may be beyond our ability to control.
If the market for our services does not develop as we expect, demand for our services may not grow as we expect.
The Company leases and operates a coworking space in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The success of our business depends on reaching consumers of our services including those looking to rent working or event space or use the professional services we provide.
There is no guarantee that we will successfully reach our target audience, or that we will be able to sustain and grow our sales. In addition, competitors may offer competing or additional products or services that crowd our marketplace, suppress our sales efforts and inhibit our ability to reach our target audience. Any of the foregoing would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. As a result, demand for our services may not continue to develop as we anticipate, or at all.
If we seed our Accelerator Fund, the companies in which we invest such funds may not survive, or may not return capital to us in a profitable way.
If the Company receives sufficient funds in this offering, we intend to establish an accelerator (the Accelerator) to ideate and launch start-ups or further develop early stage companies that are resident at the Companys coworking space. In exchange for the provision of our startup, launch and acceleration services, the Company intends to take an equity position in such companies (the Accelerator Companies).
The ability of the Company to see a return on this capital, or a return of this capital, will be dependent upon the commercial success of the Accelerator Companies, and their ability to pay dividends to the Company or for the Company to realize a return based on an exit from such investments. There can
6
be no assurance that the Accelerator Companies will be successful, or that they will be successful enough to return capital to the Company at a rate which the Company anticipates, if at all. Any failure of the Accelerator Companies to be successful will negatively impact the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
We compete in highly competitive markets, and competitive pressures from existing and new companies may harm our business, revenues, growth rates and market share. In addition, many of our current or potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater resources than we do, and we may lack sufficient financial or other resources to maintain or improve our competitive position.
The markets in which we compete are intensely competitive, and we expect competition to increase in the future from established competitors and new market entrants. The markets are influenced by, among others, the following competitive factors:
Location; Brand awareness and reputation; Price and total cost of products and services; Quality of educational programming; Strength and scale of sales and marketing efforts, professional services and customer support; Product and service features; and Breadth of product and service offerings.
These pressures could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
The operation of the Company may, in the future, require more capital than the Company will raise in this Offering and the Company may not be able to obtain such necessary additional capital on terms which are favorable to it, or at all.
In the future, if the Company requires additional capital to support its business or expand its operations, the Company may not be able to raise additional funds through the issuance of additional Class A Units or Class C Units, debentures or other securities, or through subsequent crowdfunding campaigns. Even if the Company is able to obtain capital through the issuance of additional securities, the sale of these additional securities could significantly dilute the ownership interests of the Companys then existing membership interest holders.
Although the Company does not currently have any plans to issue additional securities, it anticipates that it may be required to raise more capital in 2015. Investors in the Class C Units in this offering must be aware that the Company will likely raise capital through the additional sale of either or both of Class A Units or Class C Units, or other equity securities of the Company, which will have an adverse effect on then existing security holders percentage ownership in the Company.
We do not expect to generate immediate profits and may not generate profits at all.
We will not generate immediate profits from the Companys operations. We believe that the earliest point at which our operations will reach the cash flow breakeven point (if ever) is after approximately twenty-four (24) months of operations after the closing date of this offering; however, we can give no assurances as to the accuracy of this belief. We can give no assurances as to whether or when
7
the Companys products and services will produce profitability, or as to whether the Company will generate significant revenues, or any, following completion of this offering. See THE COMPANY AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our Class C Units.
We have never paid cash dividends on our Class A Units, Class B Units or Class C Units and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our Class C Units will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our Managers may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our Class C units may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if the price of such Class C Units appreciates.
We may invest or spend the proceeds of this offering in ways with which you may not agree or in ways which may not yield a return.
The net proceeds from the sale of Class C Units by us in the Offering may be used for capacity expansion, seeding our accelerator fund, fulfillment of rewards associated with the campaign, sales and development, and general working capital. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds to us from this Offering may be invested with a view towards long-term benefits for our membership interest holders, and this may not increase our operating results or the value of your investment. Until the net proceeds are used, they may be placed in investments that do not produce significant income or that may lose value.
The Class C Units will be subject to significant transfer restrictions.
The Company intends for this offering to qualify for a registration exemption under Section 3(a)(11) of the Securities Act, SEC Rule 147, and certain other exemptions related to the intrastate sale of securities. Hence, by virtue of the provisions of certain rules relating to intrastate offered securities promulgated under the Securities Act, the Class C Units may be required to be held indefinitely, unless and until registered under the Securities Act and/or applicable state securities laws, or unless an exemption from registration is available.
The restrictions on the transfer of the Class C Units, under both applicable securities laws and the Companys governing documents, will result in substantial restrictions on liquidity. There is no market for the Class C Units and no market is expected to develop. Consequently, investors will be unable to transfer, sell, redeem or liquidate their Class C Units unless they are registered under the Securities Act or qualify for a registration exemption, and such action is otherwise in compliance with the Companys Operating Agreement. As a result, investors will be unable to liquidate their investments in an emergency, or for any other reason.
The Company depends heavily on Rodney Sampson and Earl Coleman, Jr. for its operations and the loss of either would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Companys ability to achieve financial success is substantially dependent on the skills, experience, decisions and actions of the Companys management team. For a description of the Companys management team, see THE COMPANY Management. The Company is reliant on
8
Rodney Sampson and Earl Coleman, Jr., who are two of the Companys Founders, to provide management services to the Company and the death, disability or departure of either or both would have a substantial adverse effect on the Company. The Company has no transition plan in the event Rodney Sampson or Earl Coleman, Jr. dies, is disabled or otherwise departs.
Investors may not be repaid in full, or at all, if we were forced to liquidate or declare bankruptcy.
Potential investors should be aware that there is a significant risk that, if we are liquidated either as a result of a bankruptcy, receivership or otherwise, our assets will not likely generate sufficient proceeds to repay the equity holders in full. If we are not able to generate cash flows from our operations, we may be forced to liquidate some or all of our assets, or to declare bankruptcy. Any of these outcomes would likely result in the total loss to security holders of their investment in the Company.
Class C Unit holders will have little control over management or operations.
Investors acquiring Class C Units in this Offering will only acquire a minority interest in the Company and will effectively have no control over the operations of the Company. In addition, the Operating Agreement of the Company significantly circumscribes the voting rights of Class C Unit holdersincluding their inability to elect or remove the Managers of the Company.
We are not providing any tax opinions regarding the taxation of the Class C Units.
Neither we nor our counsel will render any tax opinion or advice with respect to this Offering. Accordingly, each investor should discuss the tax considerations of an investment in the Class C Units as it relates to him or her with his or her own tax advisor. Certain actions of the Company or an investor could result in negative tax consequences for the investor and investors are urged to consult their counsel to discuss such aspects.

Overview

Our website can be accessed at www.ohub200.com.
Opportunity Hub is a coworking space, knowledge hub and accelerator located at the intersection of innovation, culture & capital in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Created with the startup and early stage companies in mind, Opportunity Hub is for anyone that is serious about working in an environment of like-minded entrepreneurs that are committed to learning, practicing and sharing the knowledge, best practices and relationships they form while in our ecosystem.
Members can access the nearly ten thousand square feet in coworking space, complimentary wi- fi, mentor office hours, classes and networking events, starting at $200 per month. Additional amenities such as dedicated work desks, a prestigious downtown Atlanta mailing address, live answering service and unlimited parking can be purchased for additional nominal monthly fees. Private offices are available as well.
The Companys principal office is located at 200 Peachtree Street NW, Suite 206 Atlanta, Georgia 30303. Currently, the Company operates from this space based on a Memorandum of Understanding with the property landlord Davidsons Downtown, LLC a/k/a 200 Peachtree. Rodney Sampson, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, is a minority interest holder in Davidsons Downtown, LLC. Although the Company currently intends to continue operating from this space, the Company may attempt to locate additional and/or alternative locations to conduct its principal operations.
Coworking
Coworking is a style of work that involves a shared working environment, often a private office or open workspace, and independent activity. Unlike in a typical office environment, those co-working are usually not employed by the same organization.
Typically it is attractive to startups, early stage companies, small businesses, work-at-home professionals, independent contractors, or people who travel frequently who end up working in relative isolation.
Coworking is also the social gathering of a group of people who are still working independently, but who share values, and who are interested in the synergy that can happen from working with like- minded talented people in the same space.
Coworking offers a solution to the problem of isolation that many freelancers experience while working at home, while at the same time letting them escape the distractions of home.
Coworking is not only about the physical space, but also about establishing the coworking community first. Its benefits can already be experienced outside of its spaces, and it is recommended to start with building a coworking community first before considering opening a coworking space, and this is the strategy of the Opportunity Hub.
10
Opportunity Hub was launched as the result of a philosophy encapsulated in Rodney Sampsons book, Kingonomics: Twelve Innovative Currencies For Transforming Your Business & Life, Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The premise of the book is that innovators and entrepreneurs must invest in an ecosystem in order to withdraw from an ecosystem. The book evolved into a national movement of innovators, entrepreneurs, mentors, investors and crowdfunding platforms anchored by Opportunity.Up // Unleashing Private Equity, an annual large scale conference that attracts over 1,000 entrepreneurs, 500 teens and 100 accredited investors and funding sources in Atlanta, GA and Washington, DC. To sustain this community in Atlanta, our first coworking space was opened.
Mission Statement
At Opportunity Hub, we embrace the Kingonomics philosophy that you must invest in an ecosystem in order to withdraw from that ecosystem. Our credo is Cowork. Collaborate. Coexist.
Cowork at a great location. Collaborate and crowd source (fund) with like-minded people. Coexist and learn in a community that is intentional about its diversity and inclusion.
Accelerator
An accelerator takes small amounts of equity in externally developed ideas in return for small amounts of capital, services and mentorship. Accelerator programs are generally truncated into a three to six month program of which the start-ups graduate at the end.
Opportunity Hubs planned accelerator program will focus on consumer products, consumer web and tech based startups. Startups selected to participate in the accelerator must agree to learn how to code, be coachable, ready to work non-stop and have a scalable business opportunity.
Prior Capital Raises
Between July 2013 and May 2014, Co-Founders Rodney S. Sampson and Earl Coleman, Jr. have infused approximately Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00 US) into the Company as seed capital.

Market Overview
The number of global coworking facilities has been growing rapidly over the last 5 years, basically doubling in number each year. (See http://www.smallbizlabs.com/2014/05/coworking- forecast.html). While we see this growth slowing, we still expect the number of facilities to increase at a very strong average annual growth rate of about 30% over the next 5 years. As the chart below from the Global Coworking Unconference Conference (GCUC) shows, this growth results in over 12,000 global co-working spaces operating in 2018.
The number of co-working members is forecast to grow even faster, as a result of the number of members per co-working space steadily increasing. This is because:
New spaces tend to be much larger than the first generation of coworking spaces. Existing spaces are expanding by adding more space and more members; and Co-working facility operators have learned to optimize their space use and serve more members per square foot of space.
12
As a result of these reasons, and as the chart below indicates, we are forecasting global co- working membership to grow at about 40% per year over the next 5 years, and pass the 1 million-member level in 2018.
Competitive Landscape
The Company operates in a competitive environment. In 2012, Venture Atlanta reported almost a dozen coworking spaces had taken root in Atlanta, Georgia. Today, that number has increased to 15, including five that opened last year. (See http://ventureatlanta.org/2014/02/atlanta-coworking-movement- takes-root/).
The Company is positioning itself to outperform competitors in the following fashion:
! Our cofounders. Our cofounders have all ideated and launched successful and disruptive startups, raised capital and navigated the innovation, entrepreneurship and investment ecosystem. Our leaders also understand that you are only truly qualified to lead to the degree that you are willing to serve. Coworking is about service, reciprocity and courage.
! Our industry diversification. Creating an ecosystem dedicated to industries that integrate technology rather than focus solely on technology is Opportunity Hubs aim. Our ecosystem is open to consumer products, consumer web, media, film/TV, supply chain and service based companies.
! Our cultural diversity and inclusion. As demonstrated by our co-founding team, Opportunity Hub is committed to ensuring that our ecosystem is intentional in its diversity and inclusion
13
outreach, particularly as it relates to culture and creed. This commitment requires dignity, transparency and courage from all its ecosystem stakeholders and Opportunity Hub is committed to fostering this environment of co-existence and collaboration where its members believe that we can do more together as an integrated society than apart.
! Our mentors. Opportunity Hub has curated expert mentors in Atlanta and around the world to keep office hours, conduct classes and host interactive and engaging conversations with our members. Our national platform allows us to reach beyond our cities borders to attract the worlds top innovators, entrepreneurs and investors.

Opportunity Hub has created local and national partnerships with ecosystem service providers, sources of capital, crowdfunding platforms, co-working and accelerator networks in America, Europe and Africa. Access to this global ecosystem provides Atlanta based entrepreneurs the opportunity to gain exposure to innovative initiatives, new best practices and people from all walks of life. It is the basis of a true meritocracy.
! Our location. Strategically, our first location is positioned in downtown Atlanta in 200 Peachtree, the historic Macys building. Assessable by MARTA and The Atlanta Streetcar, Opportunity Hub is very easy to get to. By train, we are less than 20 minutes from Hartsfield Jackson International airport. More than 10,000 hotel rooms are positioned within a two- block radius with nearly 20,000 people walking by each and every day.
Revenue Model
The Company expects to generate recurring revenue from the following sources:
! Coworking Space Memberships. Shared co-working plans range between $200 and $500 per month. Certain plans include address/mail, live answering service, private meeting rooms and parking pass. Access to classes, events and open office hours with mentors are included on most plans.
! Meeting rooms. Coworkers can rent our conference and meeting rooms from $50 to $75 per hour.
! Private office Leases. Dedicated private offices range between $1,000 and $1,500 per month.

! Ancillary Revenue Streams. We host private and catered events from $2,000 - $5,000. Paid sponsorships are $5,000 - $25,000. Service providers pay referral fees or commissions.
14
Marketing Plan
The Company will take a disruptive marketing approach to the industry, targeting both consumer startups, technology and ecosystem based companies to join its co-working environment.
! #1000Founders. Our #1000Founders campaign is our primary marketing campaign. Because our crowdfunding campaign is equity and perks based, our investors also become our early adopters and users. As equity owners and users, our early adopters are further motivated to be our advocates and word of mouth marketers.
! Ecosystem partnerships. Opportunity Hub is intentional about forming partnerships with ecosystem stakeholders which include but are not limited to other co-working spaces, business associations, chambers, non-profits, networking groups, meet-ups and angel groups.

The Company has chosen to offer its Class C (or Crowdfund Class) Units in this offering using the Invest Georgia Exemption (the IGE), whereby Georgia businesses can offer securities to Georgia investors in a cost effective and more efficient manner.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The financial statements of the Company (as amended from time to time, collectively, the Financial Statements) will be prepared and made available upon request. These Financial Statements have not been audited by an independent outside, public accounting firm because, in the Companys opinion, as a newly founded company which has limited financial history, any information in an audit prepared now, would not be materially helpful to a decision regarding an investment in the Company. See RISK FACTORS.
As the Companys operations to date have been solely funded by contributions from the Founders, and as the Company has generated limited revenues to date and has only limited assets and liabilities, the Company has not yet prepared Financial Statements for distribution to potential investors in this offering, because the Company believes that such Financial Statements would be of limited use.
