FAQ:

Please feel free to contact me directly at alon@billionvegans.com. Yours, --Alon​
- Q: Wouldn't be safe to assume that Amazon can start their own certification process, and negate Billion's only advantage? They already have the software, as well marketing resources and operational infrastructure, so entry cost for them will be quite low
  A: Dear John, Thank you for your interest in Billion Vegans and for your question. You are absolutely right. If Amazon will start curating and vegan-certifying the products and the sellers, it will weaken our proposition (although, some people are arguing that it might be good for us as it will ramp up the awareness).

In most cases, selling shares occurs when the company is being acquired or after the company goes public (IPO). In some cases, the shares could be sold in the free market. I hope it answers your questi...

  A: Dear Arunkumar, Thank you for your interest in Billion Vegans and for taking the time to submit your questions. I am going to try and answer each one of them as candidly as I can 1.
