Decentralized data security platform for private, decentralized applications

## Elevator pitch
By turning money into data, bitcoin enabled a wave of never-before-seen opportunities. But, it also represented a new security challenge that breaks the conventional model of central servers. To answer the challenge for the 100,000+ installs of our Bitcoin Wallet, Airbitz created a shift towards decentralized security &amp; put users in full control of their data without trusted 3rd parties. We invite you to join us as we make our technology available to the wave of companies entering this frontier.

## FAQ
1. **Can any typical consumer download this application to their computer? How much does it cost?**
   - Consumers can download the app on iPhone or Android devices utilizing the App Store and Play Store. We do not currently have support for desktop but our SDK does allow developers to develop desktop apps utilizing our platform.
2. **can i send ether or REP to the aribitz wallet?**
   - Not yet. But you will be able to use your Airbitz account to login into and secure your Augur app which can then hold your REP. We do plan on supporting other cryptos in the future including ether and REP. Once our wallet natively supports ether and REP you'll be able to see and spend the same balance you have in the Augur app right from within Airbitz. No need to transfer funds between the two.
3. **Hi there, when will be closed this round?**
   - Hi Jorge. The round is currently set at the default of 180 days but we intend to close it no later than Dec 10th. Thanks for visiting.
4. **Hi, I love the idea here. So Airbitz allows us to store our own data and acts as a bank for Bitcoin?**
   - It does allow you to control your own data securely and privately. That data can be keys for Bitcoin. Therefore Airbitz doesn't act like a bank (who holds your money) but rather as a digital vault that's on your own phone or computer that only you can access.
5. **Good Technology is owned by BlackBerry. According to Wikipedia, the company serves more than 5,000 organizations worldwide in industries such as financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, energy and utilities, legal, government, and technology. How will you compete with them?**
   - Our mention of Good Technology is an attempt to find any close competitor. The fact that Good offers a framework for securing mobile apps makes it the closest thing to a competitor but admittedly they don't really come close to our offering. They do not have a single-sign-on ecosystem with accounts that can be leveraged across multiple, independent apps. They don't have a mechanism for one-touch 2FA, or encrypted password recovery without a trusted 3rd parties. Their setup and maintenance req...

## Q&A
- Q: updates?
- Q: Please give me an investor update ...Thanks
- Q: The Invest in Airtbitz page doesn't mention the early bird $7.5m cap, it says the cap is $10m. Does that mean the early bird cap no longer applies? It seems like it should because you are below the $250k threshold, but as its not clear on the invest page this is confusing me. Thanks.
  - A: From what I can see, if you scroll down, the SAFE agreement that you'll be given will say 7.5MM cap.
- Q: Good Technology is owned by BlackBerry. According to Wikipedia, the company serves more than 5,000 organizations worldwide in industries such as financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, energy and utilities, legal, government, and technology. How will you compete with them?
  - A: Our mention of Good Technology is an attempt to find any close competitor. The fact that Good offers a framework for securing mobile apps makes it the closest thing to a competitor but admittedly they don't really come close to our offering. They do not have a single-sign-on ecosystem with accounts that can be leveraged across multiple, independent apps. They don't have a mechanism for one-touch 2FA, or encrypted password recovery without a trusted 3rd parties. Their setup and maintenance requires significant overhead and re-architecture of most apps vs about 4 lines of code for our SDK. This enables us to service apps for the consumer market in addition to the enterprise.
