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?

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.

Guides work long days. They don't have time to manage the backend.

Guide Book is introducing tech solutions to an antiquated industry.

Fly Fishing is just the first step to Guide Book changing the outdoor industry.

We have already onboarded over 150 (as of February over 300) guides across North America.
