Question 1

With investments from Ontario/Quebec/BC/Alberta unfortunately not permitted on Wefunder (as a result of our regulators' request) is there an alternative way to joining the crowdfunding?

Question 4

Hi, amazing work you're doing and congrats to your success to date. Questions: 1. You have amazing growth and loving your bottomline. But what makes you different/special than your competitors in the space? 2. One of John's quotes is other providers are transaction based, but ...

Hello! Thank you for your kind words. Here are answer to the questions you outlined: 1. I'd direct you back to our Wefunder campaign page for answers -- wefunder.com/advancingecoag 2. John is a part of an Amish community in Ohio where it is a community/cultural expectation that he does not allow pictures of his face to be published, hence the avatar you see associated with him. Again, please take a look at our campaign page to see his role and his story better articulated. Thanks!

Question 5

Hello! I'm very enthusiastic about this opportunity because I believe in John's vision, but I am new to this sort of investing and I'm trying to understand the fine print. When I look at the financials, it all looks great to me, except I don't understand the need for many loan...

Hi Amanda! Thank you for your enthusiasm and for your question. Many loans have variable interest rates, and interest rates today in general are higher than when these loans were assumed.
