## Q&A
- Q: Love the product and the mission, but could you give more details on what the $5.5M went towards last year? It seems to be a lot of money to have raised and spent to get the product to initial launch.
  - A: Great question! Happy to share more in person. Shoot me an email at travis@gravystack.com.
- Q: In the "Details" section of your campaign, it mentions that you anticipated generating revenue with the launch of your app in May 2023. Did that happen, and if so, what are your revenue projections for 2023 and beyond?
  - A: Kevin, great question. We were live in the app store in May and have a dev release with new features very soon. Once that is up and tested we're going to really start promoting the app.
  - A: Kevin, great question. We did launch in the app store in May. We are waiting for significant dev release here soon before we start promoting the app. We hope to be near 1 million users by the end of 2024.

  - A: Abraham, thanks for asking. Hover over the "Investor Perks" to the right here under "Investment Terms" and you can see each perk.
- Q: Hi, In one of the earlier questions you answered that the app is geared for ages 8-18. What happens to those who go past 18 and move into adulthood? Do you have any plans on how to keep them in your ecosystem (e.g. do they graduate into an "adult" version of the app)? Thanks.
  - A: Great question. Most of our parents are seeing their kid's accounts and are saying "I want that for my bank!". We do have plans for 18+.
- Q: Is it available for download on app stores or currently developing?
  - A: We have been active on both the Apple and Google Play Stores for the past month allowing early adopters to test and provide feedback for our product. We removed the app from both app stores on May 21st while we implement critical and important enhancements identified by our early adopters.

- Q: How does the new book, Value Creation Kid, relate to GravyStack?
  - A: Value Creation Kid helps parents set up their home economy so that they can set the stage for the three E's (expectations, expenses our kids are now in charge of, and extra pay/above-and-beyond things our kids can do to earn money). Once the three E's are set up, GravyStack makes it seamless for this economy to work, especially around gigs or easily getting paid for the above and beyonds. The other big connection from the book is related to how kids learn— through play and experience. The GravyStack platform is built upon these two principles, which is entirely unique to the financial literacy world.
  - A: Great question.
