The Investment Opportunity

😱 High-risk

Most startups fail while a small percentage make their investors over 100x return.

Only invest what you are willing to lose. This could go to $0. But I will be doing everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen.

💰 Potentially High-Reward

The goal is to help as many people as possible. I'm talking hundreds of millions or even billions of people. If we help a lot of people we will make a lot of money.

You can make money on this investment if Boz is acquired or goes public.

While Boz is not currently pursuing venture capital funding, venture investors expect potential of a 100x investment. Meaning, if they invested $10,000 they would want to see that there is potential for that to become $1 million. Most venture-backed startups do not yield this return but their investors believe their is potential for that return.

🃏 It's closer to poker than the lottery.

While startup investments are risky, they don't all have the same odds. The player and the game they are playing in are super important.

You are betting on the team, product, and market.

％ Ownership of the company

The percentage of the company you own depends on how much Boz raises on the pre-money SAFEs. Your investment may also be diluted by future fundraising.

Let's say you invest $10,000 in the $8.1 million SAFE and Boz raises $200,000 on that SAFE. You will own ~ $10,000 / $8,300,000 = 0.12%.

If you invest $10,000 in the $9 million SAFE and Boz raises $200,000 on that SAFE, you will own ~$10,000 / $9,200,000 = 0.108%.

🥳 Come along for the ride

I will be sharing demos and business updates with our community, giving an inside look at our journey. I would love to have you involved, but there is no commitment.

💸 The money is for Andrew's salary

Until Boz becomes profitable, I'll be raising money to pay our expenses. It's pretty cheap to run an app these days, so almost all of the investment will be spent on my salary.

I bootstrapped this experiment for almost a year. But I need to pay my mortgage :). So I'm selling parts of the company to my friends and family in exchange for investment to pay my salary.
