FAQ:
- Q: What's your exit?

The best case scenario, however, is always an IPO.Thanks so much for your interest in Manna. Let us know if you have any other questions!
- Q: Are you planning an Android app?
  A: Hi Baron! Yes, absolutely. Part of our fundraising goal is to use some funds hire Android developers. 
- Q: Very good pitch... How do you make money? How would investors make money? Do you charge for the app? if so, how much? How much money have you made after being in business only 15 months? Your $10M or $8M valuations is ridiculous. What do you base it on? You have no revenue. Pl...

- Q: Hi, Do you have any numbers on month to month user growth?
  A: Hi Jiachao, Our user base has been a closed audience for the last couple months of a few hundred dedicated beta testers. We only recently went public on the app store in conjunction with Wefunder, so the sample size for user growth doesn't span a month yet. As time progresses and we get more concrete data, we'll post some updates regarding user acquisition. Thanks a lot for your interest!
