Question 1

Is the SAFE valuation different from that of the convertible note?

Accepted Answer

It is different in that it is not considered 'debt' whereas a convertible note is more similar to a loan on the company's books. In this SAFE note the investment is converted to equity during a future priced round (such as a Series A or Seed round). A convertible note would also be convertible to equity in such a round.

Question 2

I am very interested but I am curious of something........... what is the valuation per share? How many shares would be purchased with a minimum investment?

Hi Bruce, we're doing what's called a SAFE note which is a bit different than what most of us are used to when it comes investments. You can see more details about it here: https://help.wefunder.com/contract/295248-safe But effectively, your equity gets converted once we do a pre-Series A/Seed Round. That's the round where the value of the stock gets well... valued. Wefunder has a good low-down on how SAFE notes work here: https://help.wefunder.com/contract/295248-safe Hope that helps!

We expect that we will re-open the reg cf crowdfunding to the possible full $4M possible to fund the construction of Starless Roque Beta, launch ...

Hi Aaron, a lot of good questions! A little background on some of our history. To develop our business plan and launch service strategy we performed over 40 customer and industry stakeholder interviews. From those we gained many insights as to what's working well for launch customers, their pain points, and nuanced insights. As a result of our customer discovery process we pivoted our business, launch service and marketing strategy towards servicing an underserved beachhead customer market: a...
