FAQ:
- Q: It would be great to provide a few success and fail scenarios with how the money flows. E.g., 10k invested and how this turns into stocks and etc to show money flow for successful cases and failed cases.
  A: Hello Minwoo, All the investments raised under the SAFE term will convert when we start the price round. Your 10k investment will either convert at 5m valuation of the company or 20% discounted rate, whichever is more financially beneficial to you. In a successful scenario, the company will either exit or go for IPO, at which time you can choose to sell your shares. The flip side is if the company fails and your investment is lost.

- Q: How much are you raising (minimum and maximum).since your beer is already in market so what is the purpose of raising this funding? For how long, you can survive without the funding? Are you raising funding from any VC as well
  A: Hello Ashutosh. The minimum amount that we hoped to raise has been reached, $75,000. We have set our maximum target as $300,000.

- Q: How long do you expect it will be before a priced round? In other words, how long until the SAFE converts? Is exit/acquisition an active goal for you?
  A: Hello Derek, We expect to go on a price round within a year. Yes, exit/acquisition is an active goal for us. Our moonshot will be IPO, but we will definitely be aiming to exit down the road.
