## Story
What keeps you up at night? For a lot of website agency owners, it’s that ever-present anxiety that comes with managing client sites, and having to drop everything at a moment’s notice when a client calls, often at the worst possible times. It’s knowing that your client sites are vulnerable, and it’s that nagging worry in the back of your mind that your backups might not be working.As the founder of Convesio, I know this anxiety all too well. For the last two decades, I have been helping businesses establish and thrive online. Over the years, I have switched web hosts dozens of times, in hope that I would find a host that was as obsessive about uptime, performance, and security as I was. As technology progressed, it seemed like web hosting providers were frozen in time, with little motivation to truly innovate.Tired and frustrated, I decided to build it myself.I was committed to rethinking how a WordPress tech stack would operate. Every component needed to utilize the latest tech and be optimized to get every drop of performance out of WordPress. This would need to be custom built, no cPanel or out of the box server configuration or management tools. It needed to be simple to use, affordable, secure, and scalable, with the ability to handle millions of visitors per site. After thousands of hours, endless cups of coffee, and a too many sleepless nights, Convesio was born.Convesio is next generation of managed WordPress hosting; the first self-healing, autoscaling, platform-as-a-service for creating and managing WordPress sites.

## FAQ
1. **Hi guys!! Very interested in your company and think that it's a great idea for disrupting the wordpress industry. I just had a few quick questions: How many full-time employees do you have? Do any of your founders current take a salary? Also noticed in the risks section that y...**
   - Hi Jack, great to meet you! We currently have 7 team members. 3 are full time, with two more going full time Aug 1st and 2 remaining part time. 2 of our co-founders do take a salary. Regarding the question on the SAFE agreement, it will convert upon our next round of financing (A Round). The statement about the SAFE never converting would be in theory if we never took another round of financing, then the SAFE would not convert to equity.
2. **I realy wanted to buy some shares of it because I see it interesting but lack of knowledge and after looking at the video too I couldn’t get anything what exactly this company does any simple language to understand please??thank you and sory**
   - Hi Aashu! Thanks for your interest in us. Every website needs a server to run on and a person to create it. The platform people use to build a website is WordPress. The servers that websites run on is what we provide. Convesio is specifically designed to host WordPress websites in a high performance environment. Many businesses rely on their website for sales, leads etc. and if the website is slow or down it directly relates to lost revenue and customers. Convesio is a pla...
3. **I've got some questions which I'd like addressed before I invest: 1. How did you arrive at your current Valuation? 2. Do you plan to go into future financing rounds (Reg A+) within 2 years at least? 3. What exit strategy are you envisaging, if at all, and how soon would that e...**
   - Hi Oladipupo, great to meet you! We pitched several VC’s, Angel groups, and private investors to determine what valuation would have the most traction as well as analyzing other comparable companies and the amounts they raised during their seed rounds. This current valuation is based on market size, team experience, product stage, and also conservatively estimated to produce the best terms for our initial investors. Our plans are to raise additional rounds of funding to continue the growth of...
4. **Regarding SAFE conversion, your answer to Jack Sargent was disconcerting, quote "The statement about the SAFE never converting would be in theory if we never took another round of financing, then the SAFE would not convert to equity." So, let me get this straight... if in fact...**
   - Hi Barnaby, great to meet you! This might be a little remedial, please forgive me, I want to explain this for the benefit of everyone who might read it. A SAFE by its very nature is an agreement for future equity, so some event must occur to convert the SAFE into equity such as the sale of the business, IPO, or a future financing round. SAFE agreements are very popular and extremely common for tech startups. To your point about whether we would not convert the SAFE if we hit cash flow positiv...
5. **I'm not too familiar with the web hosting business, but your product seems at risk to become commoditized fairly quickly/easily. Please comment if you disagree. Also, the campaign page indicates you raised $600k+ from only 29 investors. Is this correct? Was that on Wefunder?**
   - Hi Jeff, nice to meet you! The hosting market as a whole has been commoditized over the last 15 years. Companies like GoDaddy and other large hosters have been racing to the bottom of the market. As the collective experience of the market is maturing, businesses now realize that cheap shared hosting is not sufficient for serious businesses. A $3 a month hosting account for an ecommerce store selling $30k in product each month, is not a wise choice. In our pitch deck you will see that two segm...

## Q&A
- Q: Any new updates on the company?
  - A: Hi Joshua, we are just about to send out an invite for our Q2 Investor Summit, which will occur later this month. 
- Q: Any updates?
- Q: Its been a long time , I didn't heard any news. How are things? Is there any Q1 summit ahead?
- Q: Why is my investment not showing as confirmed? Thanks, Bruce
  - A: Hi Bruce, Sorry for the delay in responding... WeFunder is still finalizing everything and should be done this month.
- Q: Two questions: (1) Is your market the individual website owner, or agencies? (2) This is a crowded market. Hosting companies try to differentiate themselves on performance, uptime, security, scalability, and price. There are several companies that claim to focus on WordPress hosting. What is your key differentiator that will distinguish you from competitors?
  - A: Hi Robert, thanks for the question. Our target market is agencies, designers, and developers of WordPress sites. Several reasons for this... Agencies are a one-to-many sale, easier to support, and early adopters of technology. All these reasons make them a really good fit for what we do. They also have to manage a lot of WordPress sites, so issues like speed, performance, scaling etc are all compounded when you have 100 sites. You are correct that there are many companies that "claim" speed, scaling, uptime, etc. The market has become somewhat tone deaf to these claims. It's not enough to say these things you have to prove it, but in order to prove it you have to do something markedly different. Three things set us apart. 1. Our tech stack is completely new, we built it entirely in house. We do not recycle the same technology others use. Without going into details on it, it's faster, more modern, and scalable than the competition. 2. Almost every site we migrate we do a before and after speed test with 3rd party tools and PROVE their site is faster. In 99% of the cases we significantly outperform the competition. 3. We do this at a more affordable price than the leading competitors. And while the market for "hosting" in general is crowded, when you focus down to WordPress hosting providers servicing agencies with differentiated tech, great pricing and a support team people love, the market gets really small, really fast.
- Q: You do not have any patents. What keeps competitors from using your technology?
  - A: Hi Simpson, our software is compiled and not open source, so we do not expose how our software is built and our code is proprietary. While we do not currently have patents at the appropriate time we will explore options for protecting our IP using these. In many cases our patentable tech is not even exposed to customers so reverse engineering it would be extremely difficult. Hope that helps.
- Q: How do I get my money back I invested $100 years ago and nothing.
  - A: Hi Irvin, in order to get a return on your investment Convesio would need an event like a sale, IPO, or stock buy back. Right now none of those are in the immediate plans. If anything changes, we will be sure to message you on WeFunder, but until then, please keep an eye out for our periodic updates which you can access in the Updates section. One will be coming out soon.
- Q: I Have not received a certificate of investment either. I invested back in 2019. Any ideas of what's going on?
  - A: Hi Scott, I am not sure what you mean by Certificate of Investment. Your Investment is managed through WeFunder, so if you need documentation on it, I think you might need to connect with them. If you are asking the question generally about how the business is going, you might want to check the Updates section here, there have been updates posted in the last 6 months.. Another one should be coming soon.
- Q: Any updates?
- Q: I think every investor was invited (over 500 USD) to get an access for its own website, right? I am wondering how i can realize that.
- Q: When will I see a dividend?
  - A: Hi Patrick, we are not a dividend based investment. Returns are based on our ability to either sell the company or take it public on the stock market. Similar companies to ours, like Flywheel exited after approximately 6 years. While it's impossible to provide a timeframe, we can cite similar companies as reference points.
- Q: What are your revenue projections for the next 5 years? If you are not allowed to disclose it here then please share your revenue goals for the same period of time. Thanks.
- Q: My investment has been confirmed butI have not received the certificate of investment as yet. What do I have to do to receive it?
  - A: Hi Wineetha, Those should be complete this month, we are just finalizing things with WeFunder.
- Q: Why hasn't my investment shown as confirmed?
  - A: Hi Mario, we are still finalizing everything with WeFunder, this should be resolved this month.
- Q: Is it only people who donated the first $250k that participate in the future equity agreementm or is that for all investors in this round?
  - A: Hi Sandy, it's for all people who participate.
