FAQ:
- Q: Hi there, a) What is your most recent monthly burn rate? b) What is your most recent monthly cash on hand? c) Are you raising a parallel angel or VC round simultaneously? If yes, who is investing in this round?
  A: Hi Teddy, thanks for the question! a) In November, we burned ~$32K. December will be a slightly higher burn because we had some larger end of year expenses hit.

- Q: Hi Stuart, Thanks for the insights. A couple of follow-ups on our end: What's the planned timeline for market entry, and what is your current burn rate? Will the $400,000 raised be sufficient to reach market launch? Additionally, we're interested in understanding the main chal...
  A: Hi Zac, thanks for the questions again. Our product is live. You can check it out at guidebookco.com. We will begin monetization in March, just a few days away. The goal we set on Wefunder was just our Wefunder goal. We are targeting a much larger raise overall. But the $400K (now $500K) we have raised gives us runway to move well into 2024. As far as the monetization challenges go, we could have monetized at any point over the last 6 months. But for a number of strategic reasons we chose not...
