FAQ:

  A: Hi Marco. You should checkout https://wefunder.com/faq/securities which should answer your questions regarding SAFE.

  A: Hi Andrew. The maximum we are raising is $1m which we hope we will reach.

  A: Hi Lisa. You should read the Form C which includes all of these disclosures and questions. Hope this helps.
