FAQ:
- Q: I think If you would have done a safe etc you would have raised your goal by now. your payback multiple isn't exciting at all. the 5k what is the equity stake? lastly, what would make you different than the multiple other companies doing the same thing? what is your moat?
  A: Updated, thanks for the feedback. Our MOAT is being able to integrate faster than most e-commerce stores in the outdoor space. Most of the suppliers still use manual ordering forms, we have build integrations to get data from these vendors to allow us to drop ship more and not hold inventory outside of standard daily bike shop and archery operations.
