The Plan That Was Ahead of Its Time

Fifteen years ago, the Funk had a roadmap.

This wasn’t a cocktail-napkin idea or a late-night fantasy. It was a real plan — sketched out in detail, mapped with intention, and built around a vision of connection, experience, and culture long before those words became buzzwords.

Wine lockers.
Music.
Hospitality.
Community.
Lifestyle.

The ideas were sound.
The thinking was sharp.
The ambition was real.

But timing matters.

The world wasn’t ready yet.
The infrastructure wasn’t there.
And the moment hadn’t caught up to the vision.

So the plan paused — not because it was wrong, but because it needed time to breathe.

Today, we look back at this map not with frustration, but with clarity. It shows us that the Funk has always known where it wanted to go. What’s different now is intention. Patience. Experience. And the wisdom to execute deliberately instead of all at once.

This isn’t a restart.
It’s a reload.

Same heart.
Same ideas.
Better timing.

The plan didn’t fail.
It waited.
