Have you ever said: “when I make a bit more money then I might start investing”?Hi, I’m Dr. Jeffrey Ayers and I have been practicing medicine for nearly 30 years. I am an entrepreneur, a certified investor and Ive invested in start up companies for the last 10 years. When it comes to investing - I focus on what I like, what I am passionate about and what I think is a fantastic idea. As the founder of the Gallery of Aesthetics - a new kind of medical spa in Utah (opening September 2021) - my space diverges from the typical glamorous bling filled space - and i have created an art gallery vibe. I will feature the art of emerging and established artists from around the world. Digital art in motion is a genre that I find compelling and will be included in my mix. While seeking the resources to project art (vs just hanging it on a wall) - I spotted Pranos while reading my regular Wefunder email. I saw the potential and I couldn't pass up on this opportunity to invest in the “next big thing”! Can you imagine being invited to invest in relevant technology that is easily attainable by the end user? Sound like a win for the investor! Can you imagine being the average woman or man wanting (or needing) another stream of income in a market they wouldn't have otherwise been invited nor benefited? Sounds like a win for the average person! Can you imagine being a business owner with a limited marketing budget needing a cost effective solution? Sounds like a win for the business! I want to personally invite you to invest in yourself, your family, or your business by investing in Pranos I wish for you the success you desire and deserve.

It operates like a TV or speaker, where the technology enables the transmission of content but does not generate or regulate it. The system’s users are responsible for adhering to local laws and ensuring that the content they display is legal and non-distracting. Any incidents caused by inappropriate use of the system or driver distraction are the user's liability. Pranos Responsibility: We focus on ensuring our technology adheres to all relevant safety standards and regulations in its design and operation, and we provide clear guidelines and instructions to users. Content Governance: Content Regulation -Pranos operates under a principle of non-censorship. However, we do not condone or endorse illegal content. We make it clear to our users that they are solely responsible for the content they choose to broadcast. This stance is comparable to how TV or speaker manufacturers are not held accountable for the misuse of their products. Scaling and Social, Brand Constraints: Moving Vehicles vs. Stationary Buildings: Our technology’s versatility extends its applicability beyond moving vehicles to stationary buildings, opening new markets for us. Our growth strategies are actively being developed to exploit these opportunities. Pivot Strategy: While our primary focus remains on moving vehicles, we are open to adjusting our business model based on market demands, legal constraints, and societal factors. Market Strategy for Commercial and Individual Buildings: Targeting Commercial and Residential Markets: The commercial and residential building sectors represent a promising expansion area for our business. We're currently exploring partnerships to help us tap into these markets.

For optimal imaging 100% transparency on your window is what you want. If your VLT (visible light transmittance) level is more than 35% you will still be able to project a clear image. Any tint lower than 35% / blacked out tinting can cause the visuals to lose color; thus, you would want to remove the tint.","author_name":"David Astoria","votes":0,"created_at":"2021-10-04T00:28:17Z"}]},{"id":169305,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:169305","question":"Hello, I'd like to know if you are you already manufacturing or if you are still at the prototype stage?","author_name":"Lea C","votes":1,"created_at":"2021-09-14T20:47:21Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/pranosai#question-169305","answers":[{"id":169872,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:169872","answer":"We are past the prototype stage -- we will be manually assembling our inaugural commercial version of the product.
