FAQ:
- Q: Regarding the $1000 reward tier, I am public employee and cannot represent my employer, could I instead pitch a book I am working on (once it is done)? It is based on findings from my passion research project (application of AI in the social sciences).
  A: Absolutely! I love that idea.
- Q: Hi, Are you not able to accept investors from Canada?
  A: I just looked this up, oddly residents of Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec are barred from investing. Apparently equity financing is regulated at the provincial level in Canada and those provinces have asked to opt out. Sorry about that, I appreciate the interest anyway!
- Q: Would the revenue share be in perpetuity or would there be a cutoff date?
  A: In perpetuity!
- Q: I thought this might be a good read, but the endorsement of the racist foreign invader Zohran of NY made me rethink the project. I've cancelled my investment and you should too.
  A: I do not endorse "racist foreign invaders." I merely wrote an article about how, if Democrats want to win, they need a candidate who embraces both social and abundance principles, and is charismatic in a way that can win an election, like Zohran is.
- Q: When is the last day to invest?
  A: I am in no rush to close the fund, it will either be when I have maxed out my campaign at $124,000, or my campaign has ended in the spring.
