Prior to a further commitment, I would hope to have some information on what has happened since that round. The latest I see is the Q2 2022 update which was not great on the top line vs prior... has the run rate improved? What is the status of MetaSafe? I realize you are competing against some very big players in a crowded space, but the \"limited time\" sale price currently on Amazon has an air of desperation I'm assuming those prices are below cost... is that just to grab the subscriptions? Perhaps you could give your prior investors an overview on where the company is today vs when we first invested...People, Revenue, Supply Chain, Competition... anything to let us know if we are supporting a winning team or if we are just prolonging a futile effort.

We had a huge surge during covid and are seeing some pull back this year due to the general market conditions as you've seen with our top line numbers. Sine you've invested, we've more than doubled the number of paid subscribers due to a lot of the work we've done on new premium features and optimizing the subscription process. We are still seeing strong demand for the product. During this BF/CM weekend, we sold 19% more units than last year but with a more aggressive discount. There is still a need though people are hunting for deals. We are optimizing for life time value as our subscription process continues to improve. We will also be transitioning our product offering to WiFi6 and WiFi 6E with MetaSafe (expected next year) where the margins are a lot higher and to capitalize on the technology transition. We may misstep sometimes, but with more than 60,000 Gryphons already sold, we believe we are very well positioned to be the number one family first cyber security service in the market.","author_name":"John Wu","votes":0,"created_at":"2022-12-07T22:09:28Z"}]},{"id":227976,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:227976","question":"Hello John.
