## Story
The ProblemThere are 63 million people that live in dental deserts. A dental desert is a community baron of sufficient access points to meet the needs of the community. Oral health equity is a huge problem in communities throughout the United States and the world. A recent news report titled the State of Decay describes the access problem in one rural Kentucky county that has not had a dental provider since the mid 1970’s. But this is not just a rural problem. In the West Louisville neighborhood of our hometown of Louisville, KY, we have experienced a 90% reduction in access locations since the 1990’s. The question is where are the providers? The short answer: costs are increasing. The costs of opening and running a brick and mortar practice has significantly increased over the years alongside increased costs for labor and labor shortages. Add to this low to flat rate insurance reimbursements and you have a perfect storm of reasons why it is extremely difficult to run profitable practices in certain locations.Our SolutionSince 2017 Kare Mobile has been focused on solving America's oral health access problems using innovation and technology. In 2018 we launched our proprietary software that was developed to connect Medicaid patients to dentists for same day treatment. The software was designed to connect the two parties based on location, insurance, availability of the dentist and skill set of the dentist. To monetize the company in 2019 we pivoted to providing comprehensive concierge mobile dental services in Jefferson County, Kentucky. These services were provided directly to the consumer in our proprietary designed single chair mobile dental units. The launch of our mobile dental division was a huge success and a turning point for our company as we became the first Mobile Dental Service Organization (DSO) developed and designed to manufacture our proprietary vans, with tech enabled software that allows the provider to optimize their routes which increases efficiency and profitability. We also support our customers by providing ongoing consultation and services such as Revenue Cycle Management and Call Center Services. Our mobile dental vans are the safest way to provide dental services during the pandemic. Features like UV light and air filtration provides a safe, convenient option for patients seeking comprehensive services conveniently at home, school, or work. Our reduced overhead allows us to fractionally serve communities others can not. We want to empower providers to have ownership and rebuild relationships with their patients they serve.Our model helps dental practices:Launch inexpensively.Reduce fixed overhead by using our support services.Optimize their routes with our proprietary schedule optimization software.Traction and GrowthOur company's global revenue will eclipse $2,000,000 in 2021 with representation in seven states by independent licensees committed to service and community. We have 8 deals in the pipeline.Business ModelWith a $150,000 starting price to kickstart a mobile dental practice, Kare Mobile is an affordable solution for dentists looking to start their own practice with reduced cost fixed cost and increased flexibility and autonomy.Use of FundsWith the money raised from this campaign we are looking to leverage the investment to expand our fleet of vans, and reduce our operating cost. We are also looking to take our schedule optimization software from MVP to an enterprise level product. All of this will increase our profitability and make it easier for us to land a leasing partner for vehicles.Market OpportunityThe dental industry generates nearly $140 billion annually and our total adjustable market is 400,000 oral health care providers. Kare Mobile’s goal is to attract 2,000 providers in 5 years to our mobile dental model. We believe our reimagined comprehensive concierge model will bring access to millions of people that so desperately need it.Forward-looking projections cannot be guaranteed.Our Unique AdvantagesNo one else has more experience in the market to provide a full turnkey solution to help a dental provider go from an “idea” to a “fully launched and supported” mobile concierge dental practice. We provide the start they need to get going as well as the ongoing support to succeed.

1. **Hi, amazing idea, interested to invest. Would you mind sharing some of the $$s? How many "visits" does each vehicle make per day? What is the GPM per visit? What is the breakeven "visits"/"patients" per month? How long does it take to turn each vehicle to profitability? Curren...**
   - Thanks Stephen, great questions! I will address them one at a time below. How many "visits" does each vehicle make per day? Each mobile unit visits between 6-10 patients and or locations per day. Although we monitor the "visits per day" metric, we tend to lean in more on the metric of productivity per visit. This enables us to accurately forecast revenue and overall productivity per mobile unit. What is the GPM per visit? Our GPM per visit varies according to the market and procedure mix. We ...
2. **Thank you Kwane - you mentioned "franchisee", what exactly is your revenue model?**
   - Thanks, Stephen for the follow-up question! A more accurate description would be licensee and not franchisee. Our revenue model currently includes selling or leasing our mobile units to our licensees. We also provide proprietary software to our licensees for a fee to optimize logistics and provider productivity. We currently have revenue share agreements with a number of vendors to create an ongoing revenue stream from our licensees for the term of their lease. We will be offering a number of...

4. **So this is essentially getting dentists on demand? How do prices compare to typical dentists? Does insurance cover this? What are revenue/sales/margins like and how do they compare to typical dentists?**
   - Thank you for your question Tal! We are in network with many insurance companies therefore the prices are comparable to existing practices because insurance companies dictate fees for in network providers. We are partnered with Delta Dental of Michigan on the units being deployed in Detroit Michigan. Revenue potential can be 350k to 400k depending on the market the asset is utilized in providers skillset and procedure mix. The owner operator can function at a 45% margin.
5. **Hello, I hope this finds you well. I hope the questions listed below answered, I am interested in responses. Have you explored EVs at all? Any thoughts if they would have adequate power for dental services. What has the licensee churn rate been so far? Thank you.. Good luck wi...**
   - I do not think EV would be a great solution at this time because of a number of factors. Limited locations to charge in urban and rural areas as well as the time it would take to charge the van for services would reduce profitability. The model is around reducing fix churn rate average fix churn for the licensee is around $4500 to $5000 per month. Thank you!

## Q&A
- Q: Hi, amazing idea, interested to invest. Would you mind sharing some of the $$s? How many "visits" does each vehicle make per day? What is the GPM per visit? What is the breakeven "visits"/"patients" per month? How long does it take to turn each vehicle to profitability? Currently speaking, do you see a demand problem? Or supply problem? Thank you for your time.
  - A: Thanks Stephen, great questions! I will address them one at a time below. How many "visits" does each vehicle make per day? Each mobile unit visits between 6-10 patients and or locations per day. Although we monitor the "visits per day" metric, we tend to lean in more on the metric of productivity per visit. This enables us to accurately forecast revenue and overall productivity per mobile unit. What is the GPM per visit? Our GPM per visit varies according to the market and procedure mix. We provide comprehensive oral health care, so it's challenging at times due to the unknown variables of patient procedures. However, on average, we make about a 23% margin on Dental visits and a 30% margin on Hygienist visits. What is the breakeven "visits"/"patients" per month? 10,050.00 or 67 Patients @ 150.00 USD. How long does it take to turn each vehicle to profitability? It depends on if the Licensee is FT or PT. Mobile Units that are totally maximized can reach a profit level at 3 - 6 months. Profitability 18 months with 1500 - 2000 patients. Currently speaking, do you see a demand problem? Not at all. If the provider is focused on the 63M potential patients that are located within dental deserts, there is no problem. If the provider is going after a niche market, results can vary. Supply chain problems? 2 months of manufacturing has turned into 3 - 3.5 months of manufacturing with respect to supply chain problems. We have begun to pre-order certain parts to circumvent the lost time in scheduling.
- Q: Hello Kwane, I was just checking on my investments and i noticed that you haven't given the investors and update since 2021. Is it possible to get a 2026 update? Thank you.
  - A: Please send me your email address so I can send you an update
- Q: I had been struggling with a severe toothache for days and didn’t know what to do. After searching online, I found a link at https://posts.gle/21TxKu which led me to a dental clinic near me. I decided to visit them and they quickly diagnosed the problem. They provided me with new dental crowns and now I am pain free and have a bright smile! I am so grateful I found them!
- Q: I understand the idea, I understand the need and ability but I can't help but think, "In a van down by the river," and "guy giving out candy in his white van," which I can't help but also worry that those issues are going to be legit hurdles to overcome. Safety, trust and seeing the van as simple advertising but having to go through medicare/medicaid just to get an "appointment" I would be interested to learn what you've done to get ahead of these potentials?
  - A: Brian, thanks for the comment - the great news is we are trusted and have established trusted brand partnerships with some of the largest consumer and dental brands throughout the nation like Delta Dental. This goes a long way when our branded vans come down the street and our customers see the brands they already know and love affiliated with the Kare Mobile brand. And those relationships is exactly why we are partnering to scale and provide quality access to dental care in a more equitable, affordable and convenient way!
- Q: I was wondering how is the price of fuel determined and factored into the paitent visit. With the price of Fuel being on the rise would this make a devastating blow to the market you bring? being that this is a van and has such weight from the equipment carried from place to place how does the cost get divided among the paitents and then if the location is a hilly location like the mountains or a place like san fransisco that takes even more fuel just wondering was this factored into the paitent care visit and if so how does it effect the paitent cost especially in low income areas? lets face it alot of the dental desserts are based in areas where the neighborhoods are gonna vary between middle and low income areas. This is a great idea but this factor can cause an issue.
  - A: Thank you for your question, Luke! We previously estimated gas to be 1% of our monthly expense based on a two-year analysis of gas used on a monthly basis. Most of our units are diesel so gas prices are still less than premium pricing. Although the rise in gas prices is significant, we can absorb these costs and remain viable. We also can pivot and limit driving times by focusing on facilities and locations where multiple individuals can be seen at one place. The flexibility and the overall low fixed cost to run this business allow the provider to adapt in an ever-changing economic environment.
- Q: Hello, I hope this finds you well. I hope the questions listed below answered, I am interested in responses. Have you explored EVs at all? Any thoughts if they would have adequate power for dental services. What has the licensee churn rate been so far? Thank you.. Good luck with the raise.

- Q: Hello Kwane, I see you have answered most questions quite brilliantly. However I would love to discuss further, first having a more detailed look at your financials including projections especially for the industry you're in and also about alternative funding opportunities available at our company if we are satisfied. You can drop me an email at richard@700capital.com, then we can start looking at financing your whole target. Thanks.
- Q: Hi Dr. Watson. This is a fascinating idea. Are there financials you can share -- prior revenue from this concept, projections, gross margin, etc. How exactly does Kare Mobile make money? For example, do licenses pay a fixed licensing fee or % of sales? Do licensees get paid directly by patients or does Kare Mobile collect on their behalf? How do you source and manage your fleet of vehicles? Do you own them or does the licensee? Who pays for the insurance on the van? Who pays for things like malpractice insurance? How is liability handled? What risks should an investor be aware of? Finally, could you share the details of the convertible note? Thank you.
  - A: Financials are available for review. I believe the team at wefunder must provide access of the 2019 and 2020 consolidated financials along with other pertinent financial information. Kare Mobile monetizaton is through leasing mobile units at a 23% margin and SAS model on schedule optimization software and revenue share agreements around vendor relationships. Licensees are paid directly for services rendered. Licensee is responsible for insurance requirments for the vans. The convertible note is attached to our offering for review along with the risk associated with investing in our offering.
