FAQ:
- Q: You Raised $561,050 From 21+ Investors.... from where? was this on wefunder? where is your subscription agreement?
  A: Hi Bobby. Indeed, we are happy to witness that we're getting great traction and fully expect to over-subscribe our round. In terms of documentation, everything is provided by WeFunder. Thank you for your interest in HotelsByDay.
- Q: What is your plan to stick out from dayuse? Your presentation claims that they have lite tech but after navigating through their site on mobile, I found it to be excellent and what I would expect from top tier services.
  A: Hi Rob. You are correct. Since we created the competition slide (with a time stamp on the bottom left), dayuse got funded and was able to dramatically improve their tech. This being said, we have plenty of ideas on how we can stay top dog in the USA market and I would be happy to chat on the phone with you to announce a couple of them. But sticking to the big picture: dayuse and HBD are the two main players in a nascent field that is growing with every passing month. So, even if we don't get ...
- Q: May I know if you pitched to any VCs? What are your plans for Series A funding round?
  A: We believe we will be ready for Series A when our technology will be sharper and when the demand will grow to about twice the current size. Expecting to be there within 24 months.
- Q: Do you intend to pay a dividend?
  A: No. Excess funds are constantly reinvested in tech improvements, marketing & strengthening the team. Your potential investment will reap greater rewards this way.
- Q: Could you please explain why the growth rate in bookings has dramatically slowed since Q4 2017
  A: yes. our well funded competitor is throwing the kitchen sink at us in keyword conversions. It hit us momentarily, but we found ways to brake the barrier and now are back to growing, at more efficient Customer Acquisition Costs than before, and hence feeling now comfortable enough with our model to confidently crowdfund.
