FAQ:
- Q: What are the early bird terms? The only stores I found where I can buy your products seem to be near Denver, why is that?
  A: Hi Rich. The early bird terms are a discount of $1M off the current valuation. In terms of where the product is sold we are currently working on updating our website. Our widest distribution is in Illinois followed by Denver but available in 11 total states. The "where to buy" should be updated by the end of the weekend.
- Q: Hello Mr. Lindner, If you can, could you explain the reason why your revenue was cut in half in 2018 from 2017? Best regards, Miguel Costa
  A: Hi Miguel It was for a couple reasons. The first was we lost our biggest customer in United Airlines when Jim Beam took the space from us. The good news there is we are back in conversation with United as they miss our product. The second is we didn't have the funds needed to continue many of our marketing initiatives. Hope that helps. Happy to explain in more detail over the phone if desired.
- Q: Mr. Linder, Before I commit money to your project, would you mind commenting on why your gross margin is what it is? Shouldn't margins for a product like this be higher? Thank you for your time.
  A: Hi Andrew. Yes, the gross margin should and will be much higher. Around 45-50%. Using all natural ingredients is a tricky endeavor. Early on we did what we thought was smart and bought and produces in large quantities to reduce cost. We soon learned that our formulations needed refining as we experienced some separation over time. Our inventory took a huge hit, and as a result or COGS still has to shed legacy wasted product.
