## FAQ
1. **When can investors in this round expect return on investment?**
   - We are a startup in its second year of business on a very strong growth trajectory with many opportunities ahead of us - please understand that it's impossible for us to set expectations with regards to the timing of your return on investment. This said, we currently believe that there may be interest of further institutional investors / strategic partners to become shareholders in Onedome, in which case it is our intention to propose also offering a purchase of shares from existing smal...
2. **What exit opportunities to you intend to offer the non-accredited investors in this round?**
   - Hi McKenzi, thank you for your interest in Onedome.  I have passed both of your questions along to our CEO.  Please standby and I will get back with you just as soon as I have heard back from him.  Best, Parker 
3. **I love that your a Benefits Corporation. My solar company is a B-Corp and a Benefits Corporation. Glad there is one more company spreading the word!**
   - Thank you Jeff! Let's create the future we want together!
4. **Why is the asking price so high for the investments? Most other startups on WeFunder ask for around $250 or less. Is there a benefit to having fewer investors but having those few invest more money? And if that is the case, why use WeFunder instead of a company that specialize...**
   - Hi Alexander, there are regulations kicking in when a company has a certain number of investors, including annual review of the annual report, annual filing thereof with SECs Elgar database, etc. We chose the amount that we believe reflects the right tradeoff for us, and we totally respect if you find the entry hurdle high. The funding is partly working capital, partly to invest into the purchase of shares in the technology platform that we are using for The Unreal Garden. 
5. **I see you (we) just got a large bump in funding on this platform (congrats!), and you've increased your goal 10x. Can you give some insight on these?**
   - Hi Nathan, absolutely! With regards to funding received: we have a large network of sophisticated angel investors that have funded us this far and some of which chose to invest here again, including myself (I personally believe its a really great opportunity and that we can triple the value of the company over the next 12 months). With regards to the goal: Since the start of the campaign we had $99k as minimum goal and $1M as maximum, so nothing has changed, other than how wefunder displays i...

## Q&A
- Q: What is going to happen to investors' funds since you are filing for bankruptcy? You were just fundraising several weeks ago.
- Q: My best friend is the best Artist. All of her paintings are so real, you can actually feel her Passion. I was wondering if you could contact her, and maybe support her finding her own Gallery. She is definitely the best Artist I have seen. My contact petrasangels001@gmail.com, I am a Founder of Ashley's Angels, Grant Resource Nation Station. 210-602-7677
- Q: Hi. 1) How often to you plan to update investors after this raise is closed?2) What do you think accounts for the somewhat lackluster crowdfunding raise? OneDome seems like a technology/entertainment company that had a great launch, generates $6mm+ annualized revenue, and can clearly grow via additional locations domestically and internationally. Am I missing something? What is the most common investor misconception?3) In the Q&A you state "Once we open our second venue, we will be able to distribute our overheads across multiple locations and see a continued uptick in profitability. Our daily earning potential at full capacity across both experiences is $50,000, or more than $17M per year.” By “second venue”, what exactly are you referring to? Future expansion in 2020? And does “both experiences” refer to The Unreal Garden and LMNL?
  - A: Hi Howard, thank you for your thoughtful questions.  1) We will send out investor updates quarterly.2) Really good question.  The short answer is, we don't know why some campaigns go viral and some do not.  Having said that, we are not disappointed in what we have raised here.  The success of our business model is certainly not contingent on this campaign. The idea of doing a WeFunder campaign was based on the success our friends at Meow Wolf had.  But we did not have the prior broad consumer awareness and exposure they did (they had already had several hundred thousand people come through their doors before they launched their WeFunder campaign and they had millions of national and international media impressions).  Moreover, perhaps naively, we did not spend a dime on marketing this campaign. We imagined social media, word of mouth, and the existing and growing WeFunder community would be enough to kickstart the flywheel. As for your question to the most common investor misconception, please don't take this as cavalier or disrespectful, but none jump to mind. Please let me/us know if there are questions you have which you feel may be a misconception.  3) Good question.  Yes, "both experiences" means TUG and LMNL in one location.  We project we can do $17 million in gross revenue per venue per year.  And yes, by second venue we mean our next location.  Howard, I hope I've satisfactorily answered your questions and please know we are having fun and we would love to have you join us! 
- Q: The answer to my question "Why does Onedome have so many bad Yelp reviews" is not accurate at all. The reviews during the first 3 months were very good, but the recent reviews are quite negative. I'm surprised I'd have to point that out.
  - A: Hey Andrew, it doesn't sound like Onedome is a good fit for you.  We're a start-up.  We're doing our best.  We're learning as we grow.  Some people love what we've created.  Some people don't.  We intend to iterate and respond to customer feedback and suggestions the best we can.  Good luck to you in your other investment endeavors.  
  - A: Hi Andrew, the recent reviews you point out are unfortunate and we continue to strive to do better, improve faster and deliver more awesome. Sadly we cannot always meet people's expectations, which can come across in a negative review, our goal is to ensure our positive continue to supersede negative ones, and deliver the best experience across the board.
- Q: Why does Onedome have so many bad Yelp reviews?
  - A: Hi Andrew thanks for your question, which is a valid one. The first couple of months after opening, we faced a lot more technology issues as we iterated to get the product and devices not made for the consumer market, working perfectly for a consumer experience. During that time, we received some challenged reviews, The bad reviews tended to be from the first 2-3 months of our opening and we have hit a stride with product, content, tech and customer service, which we continue to improve on daily.
- Q: Hi Are you planning a 2nd fundraise ?
  - A: Hi Richard, we plan on doing a series-b raise in a couple of months, after this campaign has closed.
- Q: What the percentage in return of investment.???
- Q: What were your ticket sales and total revenue in January, February, and to date in March?
  - A: Hi Michael, revenues in 2018 were $535,000, in January around $600,000 and in February around 540,000 (it is a shorter month with less week ends, and it was a very bad weather month in San Francisco). In terms of sales: between Feb 25 and March 24th (last 4 complete weeks) we sold $605,000 or more than $150,000 a week.
- Q: I see you (we) just got a large bump in funding on this platform (congrats!), and you've increased your goal 10x. Can you give some insight on these?
  - A: Hi Nathan, absolutely! With regards to funding received: we have a large network of sophisticated angel investors that have funded us this far and some of which chose to invest here again, including myself (I personally believe its a really great opportunity and that we can triple the value of the company over the next 12 months). With regards to the goal: Since the start of the campaign we had $99k as minimum goal and $1M as maximum, so nothing has changed, other than how wefunder displays it given that we now met the minimum target.
- Q: Hello Bertram, I have a special funding proposal Id like to make to you but I'd like speak to you personally over a different platform, would you mind giving me your Facebook profile or skype address?
- Q: Currently, what is the %split of employee salaries, operational expenditure, development of The unreal & investment in LMNL?
- Q: Why is the asking price so high for the investments? Most other startups on WeFunder ask for around $250 or less. Is there a benefit to having fewer investors but having those few invest more money? And if that is the case, why use WeFunder instead of a company that specializes in financing startups? I actually think the idea of this business is really cool with a large potential to grow. But the large amount required to invest this round concerns me especially considering that other startups that are older than yours tend to offer discounts of up to 20% for the price of the shares. What do you intend to do with the funding this round and is there anything you can say that will help ease some of the concerns that I have?
  - A: Hi Alexander, there are regulations kicking in when a company has a certain number of investors, including annual review of the annual report, annual filing thereof with SECs Elgar database, etc. We chose the amount that we believe reflects the right tradeoff for us, and we totally respect if you find the entry hurdle high. The funding is partly working capital, partly to invest into the purchase of shares in the technology platform that we are using for The Unreal Garden.

  - A: Thank you Jeff! Let's create the future we want together!

  - A: Hi McKenzi, here are some possible scenarios for liquidity and/or exits: (i) liquidity from future dividends, (ii) sale to future investor (more likely for smaller investments), (iii) M&A, (iv) IPO and (v) the development of a secondary market for shares in Onedome.
- Q: When can investors in this round expect return on investment?
  - A: We are a startup in its second year of business on a very strong growth trajectory with many opportunities ahead of us - please understand that it's impossible for us to set expectations with regards to the timing of your return on investment. This said, we currently believe that there may be interest of further institutional investors / strategic partners to become shareholders in Onedome, in which case it is our intention to propose also offering a purchase of shares from existing smaller shareholders. If that does not materialize, then the options are (i) we start paying dividends (which we don't anticipate for 2019), (ii) M&A or IPO (both not likely for the next couple of years). In sum, we advocate an investment for those who are flexible with regards to the timing of liquidity and view this as a longer term investment. We do believe it represents a great opportunity, especially at the current moderate <25% markup over our Series A while we have made tremendous progress. Stay tuned for an update tomorrow
