We went with Ryan as our lead investor for a few different reasons. First, adding a \"lead investor\" is a requirement from WeFunder before we can close the campaign. Ryan has been a PDX FC supporter since our first season and after chatting further we are confident he understands our mission and value system. We needed someone that we could trust for this role. I know Ryan's heart is in the right place because he has donated in the past to help with scholarships for low income youth soccer players. Ultimately, if ever needed we do have the ability to remove the lead investor through a vote by our board. Our plan in 2021, once we have have closed the raise is to hold an election within our community owned members to add an individual to our BOD.
