FAQ:
- Q: How much has been raised so far? Is there no way to see that?
  A: Hi Joseph. First off, thank you for making an investment in Make and its future. Thanks also for sharing your reasons for doing so. We sent an email about the investment opportunity to a small group initially and we were happy to see your response. We are expanding to a larger group this week and next. Then it mid-October will be open to the public. To directly answer your question, we have received $15,500 so far, and we will soon begin posting that amount on this page.
- Q: Hi Dale and Make: - This is exciting to see this opportunity to invest. I've been a fan for a long time of the magazine and events. As an investor, I'm wondering what the end game will be here. Would you want an acquisition in the future? Or some sort of public offering? That ...
  A: Thank you, Tim, for your excitement. You ask about the end game. Like with any investment in an early-stage company, liquidity scenarios can include going public or getting acquired. That's not something that is likely to happen anytime soon. Another possibility for investors in Make: to realize value would be for Make: to distribute profits. (now the legal statement – there is no guarantee of future value or liquidity).
- Q: I've been a fan and subscriber for a while now, and I like this concept. However, I didn't see anything in the details of this offering about the per-unit price of the Class A-1 units on offer, or what the minimum funding target is. Did I miss that somewhere, or is it informat...
  A: Thanks for the question, Alec. The per unit price of A-1 units is $1. The minimum funding target is $50,000. The funding objective is $1,235,000.
- Q: Congratulations for this new innovation (!). Doubt: if I wanted to sell my shares, the only way would be to wait for the company to go public?
  A: Thank you for your question, Miguel. We are thrilled with this investment round to give Makers a voice in building the maker movement through our products and services. Your question is how you could eventually sell your shares. A typical way would be if Make was sold to another company, which I don't think would be good for the organization or the movement. Another is if it went public, but it is not a likely scenario. There could be a secondary liquidity market for shares in Make but we hav...
- Q: Hi Dale and Make: , Thank you for your outstanding magazine, and your truly inspirational worldwide events! I wonder if you can explain why fraction of equity one obtains with a given investment?
  A: Thank you, Larry, for your kind words. Through this community investment round, when fully subscribed, the global community of Makers will own 5.489% of Make Community. Does that adequately address your question?
