Here's an excerpt from WeFunder that might explain the difference a bit better. "The valuation cap is a way to reward seed stage investors for taking on additional risk. The valuation cap sets the maximum price that your convertible security will convert into equity. To translate that into a share price, you divide the valuation cap by the series A valuation. " 2. **Hi, what is the name of the entity for the future equity? Also, will future equity be common or preferred? Thanks** - Hi Lucas, I am not sure I completely grasp the scope of your question.

Fintor is still in development, but Arrived is active and not listed as a competitor. Other than Arrived's $100 minimum, what differentiates Pocket Properties? Those are the only unaccredited investor friendly fraction...** - Hi Eric, Great question. I am not aware of Arrived but I am fairly familiar with Fintor. While they are great competitors the approach that is taken for their acquisitions strategy is what sets us apart, if I recall correctly Fintor does not place a major importance on secondary market mechanics and has chosen to go with a liquidity event style schedule. They also have plans to completely sell of properties from the platform rather than have those properties remain as long term holds. As for ... 4. **Hi.

Get everything done thru the SEC before hand instead of keeping your users in the dark for months on end - A: Hey Patrick, thanks for reaching out. Pocket Properties is currently working with attorneys to be 100% SEC compliant at launch. We will be fully transparent with all of our updates for our users. We appreciate your comment and look forward to having your support. - Q: Would the partial ownership of properties be considered as securities? If so, has SEC been consulted as to how the portfolio available on app is regulated, e.g. pre-purchase inspection factsheets, structural risk exposures, etc.? - A: Yes Lining, you hit the nail on the head fractional real estate is a security. Pocket Properties is currently working with John Paris securities attorney @ William-Mullens. We are also partnering with ATS providers and issuers to act as the broker-dealer. - Q: What are perks I don't see them listed out? - A: Thanks for the question Thelburt, Our investor perks are as follows.. Invest $1,000+ for a Purple Pocket Properties Turtle Neck Invest $5,000+ for a Purple Pocket Properties Turtle Neck & Hat Invest $10,000+ for a Purple Pocket Properties Turtle Neck, Hat, & Founders Plaque I hope this answer helps! -Chris - Q: This is a follow up to the previous question. Even though you plan to raise the future round at a higher valuation, I as an investor will get my shares converted not at 3M valuation (which you think is the value) but the 15M cap and that means, say In future round you raise at 30M, my shares which should have been a 10X based on your current valuation will JUST BE 2X and I as an investor will lose a lot even though I belived in you and invested in you early. Companies go for SAFE or convertible when they are not sure about the value of a company. Had you done an equity round at 3M valuation, I would have happily onboarded the trai. I feel the valuation cap(15M) is absolutely ridiculous esp., when it's already 5X the valuation (3M) you believe in. In simple you are onboarding investors at a much premium price and I don't think that is fair. Now what if the next round raise is say less than 15M, we all who belived in you early will stand to lose a lot. Anyways, I wish you a great journey ahead. - A: Hi Arul, Thanks for your question, We have always dealt with questions on our valuation head-on, and make no excuse about it. Pocket Properties Valuation is based on multiple factors in our financial model that takes into account things like TAM, technologies, real estate assets commitments, userbase, and more. Companies like us use SAFE when they do not wish to put a firm value on the company at an early stage. That being said a company must still have some non-cv valuation until they receive a 409A valuation in later price rounds. Pocket Properties is both a Financial Technology company and a real estate company, with real estate playing such a critical part in our company this has a tremendous impact on the worth of Pocket Properties. I am sorry to hear that you feel that the valuation is too high for your liking. We do have third-party validation in the form of investment at this current valuation from Accredited Angel investors and VC companies. - Q: There are many apps that allow people to buy fraction shares in properties including arrived, landa among others . What make this app stand out ? Also I am confused with the cap as everyone else. When you say the cap is 15M investors in this round is getting on valuation of 15 M or lower depend on round 2 of money raised but you are saying the company valued at 3M, why is the cap not lower ? Is there any properties by pocket ? What the money will be used for ? The app only ? - A: Hi Mohammed, Pocket Properties App is set apart in the technology that we utilize. This allows for faster scaling, less backend man power, and a high level of automation. Many of the competitors that you have mentioned possess a much high valuation at a much earlier stage, Pocket Properties valuation is more than tame for this particular industry with this large of a TAM. Pocket Properties is both a Financial Technology company and a real estate company, with real estate playing such a critical part in our company this has a tremendous impact on the worth of Pocket Properties. Pocket Properties does have third-party validation in the form of investment at this current valuation cap from Accredited Angel investors and VC companies. A valuation cap is a bit diffrent from the actual valuation of a company. For information concerning the use of raised funds please take a look at the details portion of the wefunder where it is broken down. - Q: Hi, would non US citizen will be able to buy share through your app?? Please tell about current holding of any properties?? Recently Nada raised for 16M valuation in Republic which has better traction, numbers to show and partnership with Republic for cityfunds, what's the reason for 14M valuation without any real numbers to support? - A: Hi Rakesh Sasvihalli, Thank you for the question. Yes Non-Us Citizens will be eligible to participate. Certain restriction may apply based on region. Pocket Properties App is currently partnered with multiple portfolio owners seeking to tokenize their residential assets. Investment in Pocket Properties App is a speculative one and there is no guarantee as to any outcome. All of our projections and assumptions are forward-looking and past history is no guarantee of future results. Nada and CityFund are not direct competitor to Pocket Properties and is classified as your standard ERIET, which follow an entirely different business model . Pocket Properties App valuation cap is completely inline or lower than competitors at the same stage. - Q: If you are valuing your company at 2.5M, how is it possible to then keep a cap of 15M. Won't this huge disparity be unfair for the current round investors? - A: Hi Arul, Thanks for the question, The valuation cap is separate from the companies actual valuation. Here's an excerpt from WeFunder that might explain the difference a bit better. "The valuation cap is a way to reward seed stage investors for taking on additional risk. The valuation cap sets the maximum price that your convertible security will convert into equity. To translate that into a share price, you divide the valuation cap by the series A valuation. " - Q: If I invest 100 dollars in pocket properties app how many shares am I going to receive - A: Thanks for the question Francisco, We are currently valued at $3M. Pocket Properties is raising just over $100K at a $15M valuation cap through WeFunder. This question requires more than a fair amount of cap table math and in short I'm not sure of the exact number of shares but I hope this answer sends you in the right direction. I hope this answer helps! -Chris - Q: What is your reasoning behind the 20m valuation? - A: Thanks Edward, We're valuing the company at $2,500,000 the valuation cap is separate from the companies actual valuation. Here's an excerpt from WeFunder that might explain the difference a bit better. "The valuation cap is a way to reward seed stage investors for taking on additional risk. The valuation cap sets the maximum price that your convertible security will convert into equity. To translate that into a share price, you divide the valuation cap by the series A valuation. " - Q: The Wefunder countdown clock is no longer on your campaign page. Does that mean the campaign has been extended? - A: Thanks for the question Kevin, Yes you are correct we have extended our WeFunder campaign. - Q: Hi, interesting ideal and good story. I'm still struggling to understand the app from a customer perspective. 1. I've done a lot of real estate syndications, so I get the benefit of a lower barrier to entry aka cost. But I can do that today at groundfloor.us, smallchange.co, or other platforms. Besides being an app and tokens, why are you better? 2. For RE I'm use to being a debt or equity partner. I don't understand the token model. Is the token going to be a security and that security listed as the property owner or lien holder? 3. For RE debt or equity, someone has to be the loan servicer or GC (fix and flip)/property manager (buy and hold). Is that your company or will you outsource? 4. RE syndication is all about trusting the GP as the LP. So are you guys the sponsor or will you find sponsors to fund? 5. What will be the tax structure for USA customers on income? K-1, 1099-INT, etc. 5. For RE, there's IRR I'm targeting depending on the holding risk and security type. For debt I'm looking for 8-12% annual interest average for a 2-3 year hold and for equity I'm looking for 16-24% IRR average for a 5-7. What do you see is the targeted ROI for customers. 7. Last, switching back to the investor, is this crowd fund for the app only or will we get ownership in the properties you guys acquire to add to the platform or revenue share in the AUM? - A: Thanks for the question LD, I will address the questions in the order you had asked them. 1. What makes our platform unique is that we will be the first platform to offer both debt and equity-based investing while utilizing a blockchain backend, we currently do not have plans for a Pocket Properties Token. 2. As far as being an investor you will be issued a share for the debt on the fixing and flipping (renovation) of a property, you will then be repaid that loan with interest. 3. We will be the loan servicer of the financing, we will also leverage the expertise of real estate professionals that are looking for loans. 4. Our sponsors will be reputable Real estate investors and funds that have a reputation and following that will invest in them. 5. Customers will get 1099 misc. For the money that they make. 6. Our average annual interest that a user can expect is 8-12% for debt investments, on the conservative side. 7. Investing in the Wefunder will get you equity in the Pocket Properties App. By signing up on our website you will receive a free share of real estate for our equity platform that's coming out later this year. Thanks for the question looking forward to having you on the platform! - Q: Hi great idea with fractional real estate, if I am to invest is my money diversified and goes into a pool of investment property's managed by the company or just one property? - A: Hi Sukh, An investment through Wefunder is an investment into Pocket Properties App corp, not an individual property or fund. The product that we are currently building (Pocket Properties Marketplace) allows for individuals the ability to invest in individual or groups investment properties. Best, Stan - Q: So, if I understand correctly, your goal is to buy properties that are undervalued and then put them all in the pocket properties platform at fair value and then tokenize them at that time. My main question is: As end-users of the Pocket properties app and purchasers of the tokenize property how can we check to see if we are paying a fair price for that property? Will we know what the purchase price was for the property? Will somebody do a fair market value analysis that will be posted on the pocket properties app for each property? - A: Hi Peter, All transactional information regarding Pocket Properties real estate assets will be made publicly accessible. This information is already traditionally public record and can be searched on that reasons GIS map. Any and all analysis will be easily accessible in that particular asset's documents section. - Q: Is the app currently active? - A: Hi Robert, The app is currently under development. - Q: Hi, what is the name of the entity for the future equity? Also, will future equity be common or preferred? Thanks - A: Hi Lucas, I am not sure I completely grasp the scope of your question. The Entity that Shares will be issued for is "Pocket Properties App Corp".
