# Ohos

Give and receive feedback in real-time. No annual performance reviews.

## Elevator pitch
How can employees truly improve if they only get feedback once a year from their manager? We don't think they can, so we built a transparent performance review platform for employees to receive feedback from peers, leaders, team members, and clients in real-time. We use a decentralized model, so when employees leave their position, they can take their data with them. We have 17 clients, including Georgia Tech University, with more on the way, and saw 300% year over year growth.

## FAQ
1. **When is the funding deadline?**
   - Hi Greg, The campaign will be open for 6 months or until we hit our target and close the campaign.
2. **With the discount are we effectively investing at a 2.63 M valuation ?**
   - Hi John, Essentially, yes. The math works out to approximately the same. The difference would be the calculated worth of each individual share once we receive a formal valuation but your equity stake would be roughly the same.
3. **BP file seems to miss a couple of pages?**
   - Hi Bernhard, I assume you are referring to the Financial projections segments. For legal reasons, the SEC does not allow a site like WeFunder (or any Regulation D crowdfunding site) to display projections or revenue forecasts to non-accredited investors.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accredited_investor#United_States)
4. **A follow-up to Greg Roche's question - are you planning to close as soon as you reach your modest $100k goal, or let it continue to run up higher, and if so, for how long?**
   - Hi, Barnaby. Most likely, to prevent over dilution, we will close this campaign once we hit $100k. A new campaign with different terms may follow depending on our capital position.
5. **Hi Dave and Alicia, Thanks for this putting this incredible overview of Ochos together. I am really like the idea, and I'm interested in investing, but would like to ask you a few questions: 1) Product: How do you get users to activity provide feedback? Is there a suggested ca...**
   - Hi Javaughn, Thanks for inquiry. 1. Yes, beyond customizable push requests based on client preference (which fits very well in Agile environments around sprints) we also have a "pay to play" element; in order to SEE your feedback you need to GIVE a reasonable amount of feedback to others. 2. Yes. Mobile is on the road map. Right now Ohos is mobile compliant but we are planning a native app as well. 3 We will be integrating partner relationships (Lynda, Udemy, Harvard ManageMentor, getAbstract...

## Q&A
- Q: Please provide an update to those that invested via the Wefunder platform.
- Q: "Give and receive feedback in real-time." Agreed this is important, is Ohos still in business?
- Q: Hi Dave, it's been a while since we got an update. Can you provide an overview of the current status of Ohos. Or is there any other channel from which I could check on the progress? Thanks! — Hemant
- Q: These seems to be no lack of $ for SaaS businesses in the market. Why haven't institutional investors been attracted here? What are they missing?
  - A: Hi Howard,Great question. Most VC and Seed rounds investors are starting later and later. Most we have talked with tend to enter the market after a company hits $15k+ MRR and start their checks around $1.5M  We are a bit shy of that target with the organic marketing we've been able to do. This round will push a lot of marketing and sales capital towards that goal. An institutional VC will be the target of our next round which is why this will be the last crowd round campaign we conduct.Thanks for the question and the support.
- Q: Is this company still a going concern? Or has it failed? No updates in a few years...?
- Q: How do we receive info about our shares from Captable?
- Q: are we getting K-1's for 2019?
  - A: Hi Andrew, Since we are organized as a C-Corp, we do not issue K1s. K1s apply to S-Corp or LLC/LLPs since they are essentially tax pass thrus for investors. If we were to pay dividends, rather than a K1, you would receive  a 1099-DIV statement. 
- Q: No social media postings since October and I notice that Dave seems to have a new gig at nVoq. Curious to see what the Q4 update will hold.
- Q: Hi Dave, I saw you speak about humility at a strategic corporate retreat when I was still working/living in Denver. I’ve since relocated to Florida, and after some life changes, would like to reconnect and inquire about the investment opportunities you emailed late last year. Would it be possible to speak sometime in the near future? Kind regards, Elana Festa http://linkedin.com/in/elana-festa
- Q: Why the last minute discount? And why the minimum target has also been reduced half?
  - A: Hi Arun,We wanted to provide an incentive for more investors to join the campaign. We reduced our target because we realized we were fishing in the same pond as our first round of investment (Wefunder investors) so the response was not as broad as we had anticipated with the same group of investors. If we had kept the target at $200k, all investments would have been nullified (with Wefunder, you need to hit the minimum to close.) We did not want interested people to miss the opportunity because we had miscalculated the response.-Dave
- Q: It was my undestanding that this round of funding was closing? Is this an extension or is this an entire new raise? When will this current round of funding be closing?
  - A: Hi Lyle,This round SHOULD have closed on Feb 15. I am checking with Wefunder to see why the campaign is still open. In the meantime if you have interested investors, by all means, have them join the crusade!-Dave
- Q: I'm looking to invest but I'd like to know more about the platform and back-end technologies used to build this Product. Is this going to be offered as a SaaS product ? Is it hosted in a cloud infrastructure like AWS or Azure? Any chance this is built on Salesforce.com? Is there a Mobile app as well for this? Is it possible to get a demo limited version to look at? I'm thinking if I like it, I could invest somewhere between 5 to 10k. I'm myself a Principal Technical architect for a Cloud software vendor for Pharma companies and can definitely see the potential in such an offering. But what would be the strategy to get your clients engaged and committed in the process to provide these feedbacks? Would customers pay for their clients to provide feedback on their employees? Trying to understand the Licensing model here a little better. Sorry there's a bunch of questions, but please take your time.
  - A: Hi Murugesh,Thanks for the questions! See below:- The platform is currently live and offered as a tiered SaaS (Monthly/per user pricing based on features with annual, multi-year, and invoicing discounts)- Hosted on AWS- It is not built on Salesforce but easily integrated  - Mobile app is in development but currently platform is fully mobile responsive- We work with clients on integration. Most people have been looking for a voice and as long as someone is listening (referring and acting on the data), the feedback keeps coming- No, we do not charge customers to use external links for client feedback. We DO charge if the client wants rater analytics on those clients. (Rater Analytics are exclusively unique to Ohos) I am happy to schedule a demo but the investing window closes tonight so there may not be time.Thanks for the questions and support. A LOT of companies need this level of information and objectivity...and we aim to reach them!
- Q: What was user growth YOY (2017 -2018)?
  - A: Hi John, last year was a little more modest at 268%. We were running lean and cash flow neutral. We only spent about $5k total in marketing for the year. This year we expect to spend a large amount the investment from this round for marketing and sales, including a demo video, website revamp, and auto sign up options for limited feature access. Thanks for your questions and support! -Dave
- Q: Hey Dave, I believe that I’m in the same boat as others in that my shares were miscalculated. What’s the best way to reach you all to ensure it’s correct and to process any modification if necessary?
  - A: Hi Matthew,I will contact Wefunder and have them reach out to all investors with a verification of their share price and investment. I am not sure why their system incorrectly reported the share price and I am as interested as you to get the matter resolved.-Dave
- Q: Hi Dave, I like your concept a lot. A couple questions. 1. Do you have a longer video showing the platform in use? I'm curious about the ease of use. I find that within some organizations adding a new or additional system has a lot of cultural resistance - so I assume to support adoption the simpler the better. 2. Sorry if you answered this elsewhere, but can you speak to the current and planned integrations with various enterprise HR, project management, business process workflow systems? Again with the ease of use, I assume adoption would be increased the more your solution is adjacent to an already adopted system in an organization. 3. I assume your consulting work supports the software platform and your incomes while growing, but will it be a distraction from growth and how do you know when to stop one or the other? Thanks, Julian
  - A: Hi Julian, Thanks for the questions. 1. We are in the process of rebuilding our website which with include a short video of use. It takes literally less than 30 seconds to give someone feedback. Since it is built on the principles of aggregate and real-time feedback, it is not necessary (not desirable) to catalogue the last 6 months of feedback. It's as easy as pick, slide, submit. 2. WE can easily integrate with Workday, PeopleSoft, Taleo, Halogen, Cornerstone, Namely, as well as many others. We are integrated with Slack and are developing integrations with G-mail, GCal, and Outlook (give feedback to someone you are trading emails with or just exited a meeting with.) We also plan integrations with Trello, Asana, and other project platforms as you mentioned. 3. The consulting work is not our primary focus. We do not want to build a consulting business. We want to focus on being a software company. We currently provide support for implementation to ensure success with the the platform but our long-term strategy is partnering with consulting firms around the country to be "certified" Ohos firms to eventually provide follow on organizational and leadership consulting as well as reselling the platform and handling integration. We currently have two partners int he Denver area and will expand partnerships as we grow. Happy to chat further if you would like to discuss. I agree with many of your questions and coming from the world of org/leadership development and cultural change management, you are spot on with our long-term vision. -Dave
