## Story
A few years ago, Déa Wilson — the founder of Lifograph — was pitching her previous startup in front of a panel of investors. Before pitching, she wanted to know who in her network might be able to make warm introductions. She started to click from website to website in order to find out potential connections with these investors. It took her a long time to do the manual research and trace the dots between her and the investors. Dea wanted to share her research with other people who might need it, but she could not find the right tool for the job, so she decided to build it. And this is how Lifograph was born. In the last few years we have developed a fully operational networking platform and people search engine that was launched in public beta in 2018. Just in 12 months we we went from 500,000 profiles to 7,200,000 profiles and from 1,200,000 million connections to 4,700,000 connections.Lifograph relationship map with links between investors Ron Conway (SV Angels), Brad Feld (Foundry Group) and Naval Ravikant (AngelList)IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLEWe are all connected. We just don’t know how.Lifograph is drawing a massive digital map of real life connections between people and companies. People are always looking for other people, whether it be for a job, funding, customers, employees, service providers, etc. We are building a GPS for relationships that will help you find the shortest path to people and companies around the world. We want to help you find the right individual or organization in just a click of a button.We want to eliminate the tedious and time-consuming manual search from finding the right people at the right time.Lifograph is becoming the go-to source for companies and professionals looking to easily connect with relevant people based on their needs, skills, and real-life relationships.BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN PEOPLE AND COMPANIESWe are building a proprietary data factory that allows us to quickly process information and automatically connect the dots between people and companies.Our curators scour the internet for news and public data about people and companies, then they aggregate the most important information into searchable profiles, filtered by relationship type.By aggregating information from a variety of public sources in one single place, we want to help you discover with whom you should connect and do business with. Imagine networking at a conference and being able to identify the top 10 best people to connect with, out of thousands of attendees. We are building relationship maps called "lifonets," in which we map out real-life connections so you can discover the people and companies that are the best match for your needs, as well as the fastest way to reach them. We want to make sure that a “warm intro” is indeed “warm.” Over the last few years we have built proprietary technology that allows us to do deep data analysis and extract many useful insights.To make it easy to navigate and search for the information you need, we have built filters and search categories that give you quick access to the data you need, including information about how people are connected. We've built a solid foundationIt was a long road bootstrapping our way through building a full-blown online networking platform, but we are now at the point where we are ready to scale.TRACTION- In 2019 we went from 500,000 profiles to 7,300,000 profiles (1,460% increase)- In 2019 we went from 1,200,000 connections to 4,700,000 connections (392% increase)- In 2019 we went from 500,000 updates to 4,100,000 updates (820% increase)- Since July 2019 we have seen 250% increase in pageviews- $500,000+ in funds raised so far from over 450 investors- Thousands of hours of data curation completedWe have built a stellar team, that includes a data scientist with a PhD in Computer Science and Member of the prestigious Royal Statistical Society, a CTO with Master degree in Computer Science and extensive experience in graph databases and deep learning. Our advisors include the General Manager of Microsoft and two entrepreneurs who sold their companies for multi-millions of dollars.Our founder — Déa Wilson — is a Wharton MBA and super-connector, her network including many Who’s Who from business, technology, entertainment, sports, and other sectors.How do we make money?Lifograph has generated more than $300,000 in revenue since being operational, most of it coming from events, advertising and data services.

## FAQ
1. **Hello- We are interested. How does our shares get calculated? Is it per $100?**
   - Hi Britt - Thank you SO MUCH for your interest in investing in Lifograph. I am even more excited about the fact that you are a woman investor. We need more women to invest in startups and be role models for other women. Here is more info about the SAFE instrument, as described by Wefunder and adapted to our startup. First developed by Y Combinator in 2013, a SAFE grants an investor the right to obtain equity at a future date if the startup sells shares in a future financing. It has been histo...
2. **What date will you stop taking investments?**
   - Thank you for asking, @BMiller​. Our campaign is set to run until October. However, we might decide to close the campaign early if we reach our current fundraising needs. Also, the early bird terms are available only for a small portion of our raise. The lower valuation is available only until we hit our early bird threshold. As of today our current investors have already reserved almost 50% of the early bird amount. You could get the ball rolling with just ...
3. **Do you plan on raising more funds after this Wefunder offer ends? How much do you estimate you will raise from other investors after this Wefunder offer ends?**
   - @bmiller ​Most companies need capital in order to grow fast and we are no exception, so we expect to raise more money in the future, hopefully at a higher valuation. However, at this point we don't know exactly how much we will be able to raise through this Wefunder campaign. Once the campaign is over we will have a better idea about our future capital needs and at that point I will be able to give you a more informed answer. :-)
4. **USABILITY QUESTION: I tried out Lifograph by signing up on your site. I chose not to allow it to access my current social network via LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. I presume, if I had, Lifograph would have populated my Lifonet with these connections, is that right? Now I would like...**
   - Hi John! First - thank you SO MUCH for being an investor in Lifograph! I understand you want to sync your Linkedin information with Lifograph after you signed up at https://www.lifograph.com.To sync your Linkedin profile and add your education, experience, skills, etc. go to the My Account (the gear icon in the upper right corner) and click Sync Profile.

5. **Are you going to source data on people from all over the world or only a sub-set of countries? If you are using only a subset can you disclose what countries you are sourcing data from?**
   - Hi Brian - Our goal is to connect the dots between all people and companies all over the world. That said, as you can imagine, this cannot be done overnight. So we started with USA and Silicon Valley, as they are markets we know well and we could test on. However, we see a huge international need for our tool and in fact we are in discussions with various organizations from Romania, India, United Kingdom, etc. who have expressed interest in using Lifograph as a networking and m...

## Q&A
- Q: Dea - Can you please explain how Lifograph will compete with the competition. To me, it seems like LinkedIn is the greatest competition.
- Q: Dea - Can you please tell me if this team is capable of producing a large social media company (I.e. LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.). If so, please explain why.
  - A: Raymond - absolutely!! I have spent every waking hour working on Lifograph for a long time and making our site as great as it is now. We have a tremendous opportunity to connect people online, especially now during challenging times. More people will turn to online connections long after the quarantine is over. I've worked with my team for the last 3 years and we are all committed to build Lifograph into the largest wiki of people and relationship map! I will post a new update soon with all the great things we've been doing. Thank you for being an investor!
- Q: Dea - have the 2019 finances been published yet? Also, the $50,000 target hasn’t been reached yet? Will $50,000 make a significant impact to the company’s working capital? This number seems small.
  - A: Raymond - yes - you can find the financials posted on our campaign. We are less than $1,500 away from reaching our goal. Will you increase your investment to help us out or invite some of your friends to invest? That would be so awesome! The $50K raised will absolutely have an impact. First - I never took a salary from Lifograph and never will until we become profitable. Second - a lot of my team's compensation is in equity, so we have lower burn rate compared with other startups. Third - we are already generating some revenue but we are pushing really hard for even more opportunity to monetize our platform. So even though $50K might seem like a small amount, we operate very lean and are pushing full speed ahead. Thank you for being an investor!!
- Q: Dea - does the company have an adequate amount of liquidity for 6-12 months? For such a wonderful company, I’m surprised that only $27,000 has been raised so far? Do you have any insight on how the investing traction can increase? I had to do a “deep” search to even find the company on Wefunder.
- Q: Dea - can you please tell me the approximate cash on hand and the monthly burn rate? Also, do you know when the premium membership will be launched? Lastly, are the connections and profiles still growing rapidly in 2020?
  - A: Hi Raymonds! We will publish our new financials at the beginning of April for all our investors. We are currently working on the premium membership. The mockups are very close to being done and work is already under way to implement the premium features. We expect that in the next few months we will have the premium membership launched. We still see growth in connections and profiles and we expect even more growth from various partnerships we are currently pursuing. We will announce our new partnership and initiatives soon. Thank you for being a fan of Lifograph!
- Q: Hi - do you happen know what the the rate will be for the subscription service? Will it be charged monthly or annually? Also, I’d expect for 3% of members to upgrade from Freemium. Any idea on the expected revenue and gross margins?
  - A: Hi Raymonds - these are all good questions. :-) We expect to have a monthly fee of $20 and apply a discount if paid annually. We certainly hope that many free users will upgrade to a premium plan. Our team is already working on defining the premium features and writing the technical specs. We will make sure to provide enough value to our users to convince them to upgrade their free plans to paid plans. We expect high gross margins since adding a new user adds only a small marginal cost. Our team is doing more revenue and cost analysis as we speak. I hope you decide to invest is us and grow with us. :-)
- Q: LinkedIn and Crunchbase have a rich data set already. What is your value prop? Also in some of your replies to similar questions you mention that Lifeograph shows the relationship between people... what is the primary use case with such info? Can you build a business around such a feature? Also I am not interested in number of members ... what is your MAU over the last year?
- Q: Hi Dea: I wonder how it is going so far with yourself and the company. I will appreciate any information I can obtain from... ..in this regard I wish you good and wealth and a good fate for the company.
- Q: Is there any updates on this? The site went dark and Dea has not posted on twitter since 2020.
- Q: I applied for Multicultural Innovation Lab 2021 at F6S.com are you affiliated to Morgan Stanley or Multicultural Innovation Lab?
  - A: Hi Daniel - No, I am not affiliated.
- Q: how is this different from linked in and why when I try to create a profile does is bring up my linked in account?
  - A: Hi Judah - Thank you for being an investor in Lifograph! We are a wiki platform, so everyone can contribute to the lifolines (timelines) of other people and companies. We connect the dots between these people and companies to build relationship maps that show not only who is connected with who, but how they are connected as well. Since we are a wiki platform we require login with Linkedin to make sure people are who they say they are.
- Q: Hi Dea, Social media sites like Facebook have targeted advertising that brings in billions of dollars in revenue for them every year. Will Lifograph also have targeted advertising in the future? I see a huge potential for this on your growing platform. Also, what's your exit strategy (IPO/Acquisition)?My apologies if these questions have already been asked and answered!
- Q: Hi, did the company qualify for and receive any PPP funds?
- Q: Hello, I've already invested 100 if I invest another 150 will that put me in the 250 bracket to get the 100 ad credit?
  - A: Yes! Your total investment is considered when calculating perks. So you will get the full benefit of the promo credit! Thank you for increasing your investment!
- Q: Dea - thanks for your response and kindness. Unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to watch the live webinars. Would you be able to post a recorded session somewhere following completion?
  - A: Hi Raymond - we do not record the sessions, but will have one more webinar next week. We will announce it tomorrow. Please check back tomorrow here: https://www.lifograph.com/events
