FAQ:
- Q: What are the perks
  A: Hi Robert. Perks for investors? The early bird discount is the perk we have in place. Did you have something else in mind? Thanks!
- Q: What is the early bird discount? It isn't visible in "red" as it usually is on Wefunder. Is the early bird valuation cap 8.5 million? If so, when does the early bird discount end, and what will the cap go up to?
  A: The early bird discount is a $7.5M valuation cap. It is for the first $600,000 of investment and is closing fast! The note then goes up to a $8.5M valuation cap. Still a good deal in my opinion!
- Q: Would solar rechargeable batteries be in future designs so they last longer than 5 years, or are there other degradations to the sensors driving the replacement needs?
  A: unfortunately, the 5 year battery life limitation is with the underground unit, so solar and rechargeable batteries are not an option. But we may have future versions of the pro if that will extend the battery life of the underground unit to 7-10 years through other means, which is really the limitation of the battery technology. 
- Q: Hi Patrick, please add more detail on the questions below: 1) What have you, Dave, and Vince achieved commercially in the last 12 months? Specifically... count of new distributors? Count of new clients? Amount of new revenues? How do those figures compare to the previous 12 mo...
  A: Hi Greg. Our revenue has been ramping rapidly over the last year, and we are now in early scale deployment of our WUGS-based system for annual field crops, sometimes called broad acre row crops, like corn, soybeans, cotton, wheat, sorghum, and alfalfa. The deployments are primarily in the Midwest, the Mid-South and the Northwest of the US. We also continue to deploy our first generation STEM solution in perennial or permanent crops like fruit & nut trees and vineyards, primarily...
- Q: Won't your technology be rendered obsolete by drone and satellite soil/crop sensing technologies?
  A: Hi William. This is a really good question. There is really a three part answer:First, we are in development on a two-way version of the Wireless Underground System (WUGS) that allows the above ground telemetry to go mobile and be mounted on or drone or directly into the center-pivot irrigation system.Second, we see overhead imagery like NDVI, whether it is collected from a drone or satellite, to be complementary to the GroGuru solution. Overhead imagery provides a broad spectrum view, and th...
