what is the procedure for making another investment, but via a corporate structure? also, if i want to buy shares for each of my kids, what's the procedure?

Andrew on the first question...you will need to setup another account with a new e-mail, go to make an investment, and then click "I'm investing via an LLC, etc." in Step 2. Next question, for the children, you will need to setup a separate account for each name. Let me know if we can help in any way. Onward.

Why would you sponsor a company that has changed names 3 time? All same address. All same business. Fast Pencil is-was this company. Then Infinity Publishing. Fast Pencil never paid me one royalty. I paid for 10 books 2 months ago and have never received them.

Zelda our apologies for any issue you may have. I have instructed the team take care of your concerns first thing in the AM. Please expect a call to resolve this immediately.

I do like the whole mission-concept and would love to see something like this grow and succeed. It appears that FastPencil (now rebranded as Opyrus) and Infinity Publishing have what look like significant complaint issues: https://www.bbb.org/us/pa/conshohocken/profile/vanity-...

Thomas thanks for your question. FastPencil and Infinity have been in the market for many years, as an early innovator in the self-publishing market and as the first SaaS application for fully automated/DIY publishing. Like many firms that work with the general public we have customer concerns that need to be supported. Over the years the company has done a good job of managing over 15,000 publishing customers and over 30,000 other purchasers of books or services. On a percenta...

I really like this concept and I'm contemplating making an additional investment. However, I have to questions: 1) What's the overall market size? Tell me more about the market.. 2) What do you think will differentiate & make Opyrus a real success in the future?

Douglas thanks for your question. See the question above which highlights the education and corporate market for wellness, for which our platform will be well suited. It speaks to what is a very large market. If you look at the Market Size slide in the "About" section of our profile you will see we estimate a Total Addressable Market of over $11 Billion. In fact the potential market is much larger than that when you consider the myriad of benefits that can be gained from using different types...

I like the overall concept and think that it is a cool idea. In addition to being positioned as a self betterment application, have you considered the education market segment? I teach college students and many struggle to write proficiently. I partly attribute this issue to l...

Scott thanks for your question. Wow...you have picked up on two very compelling markets. The wellness technology segment saw $2.2 Billion in investment in 2019. The overall wellness market is estimated to be $4.2 Trillion worldwide. I believe your assumption to be true, the education market is very large and we would expect there to be an accelerated need for new methods of prevention and cure given the new dangers and pressures that have emerged. We believe our products in development will p...

Strengths

says, "Writing is starting to become a big market again, with platforms such as Medium and similar ones really encouraging people to post more thought provoking material, being a proficient writer becomes incredibly powerful and that takes practice."

Advice

says, "I would love to see more about the growth of the writing industry over the past few decades - my intuition says that it has been larger than anticipated with things like self-publishing become more popular and tools like medium, but its really hard to track - so break that down so people can see what it actually is."
