The more I talked with Sarah and learned about her passion for this technology, her amazing fund of knowledge, and the clarity and potential of her plans, the more compelled I was to invest. One lecture she gave as one of the most enlightening things I have watched in some time, and an e-mail she wrote that listed some of the possibilities for the product left me realizing that they could truly change and disrupt entire industries. I also did some research, and no one else is doing what they are doing, and their soon-to-be-filed provisional patent will lock in their advantage. This would be a great investment any time, but right now the potential and importance of their company is magnified by our current circumstances for two reasons. First, we have all discovered the ease with which we can connect with others remotely, and the increased use of videoconferencing and chat will likely persist and grow even after the crisis. But we will soon realize that that method of relating leaves a hole, lacking the connection of in-person 3D closeness. Radix can help solve that in a huge way. Second, it may be a while before we can literally hug our elders and those with medical risks, but Radix can already give us a needed alternative. I have invested in many companies through WeFunder, and I'm quite happy with most of those choices. But rarely does an investment check so many boxes, including an expert and deeply motivated team, an actual working prototype, a reasonable valuation, a concrete and realistic plan and timeline, and a timely niche. Of course there are no guarantees, and like any other investment there is risk. I am only relating my experience and excitement but you need to do your own due diligence and base your decision on that. But I really like their chances!","investment_total":5000,"investment_info":"Invested $5,000 this round","is_lead_investor":true,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/alanjacobson"]}],"investor_memos":[],"tab_counts":{"posts":24,"ask_questions":10,"featured_investors":1,"faq_entries":5},"active_fundraises":[{"id":34831,"entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:34831","state":"successful","offering_type":"4(a)(6)","funding_type":"note","structure":"safe","security_type":"equity","currency":"USD","testing_the_waters":false,"min_purchase":100,"max_purchase":9,"funding_target":50000.0,"funding_started_at":"2020-05-15T20:13:40Z","funding_closed_at":"2021-02-16T05:03:20Z","auto_close_at":"2021-02-16T04:59:59Z"}],"latest_fundraise":{"id":34831,"entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:34831","state":"successful","offering_type":"4(a)(6)","structure":"safe","testing_the_waters":false,"can_invest_now":false,"funding_started_at":"2020-05-15T20:13:40Z","funding_closed_at":"2021-02-16T05:03:20Z","terms":{"eb":"$4M","nb":"$6M","txt":"post-money valuation cap"}},"recent_posts":[{"id":141979,"entity_id":"wefunder:feed_item:141979","type":"FeedItem::Update","visibility":"public","title":"Holomania Party Recap \u0026amp; Last Chance to Invest","preview":"The party was a huge success!

Can you give me a clear picture of how this differs from someone just sending a video of themselves - if I receive a \"movement\" from a friend, how is that better and different than receiving a video of that movement? 3. Can you describe your runway in terms of cash needed - what do you truly need to raise along the way including this round?

Our IP includes, compression algorithms for movement data, servers configured for storing, indexing and retrieving movement data and unique compute shaders that let us render high quality 3D graphics on phones. Thanks to our conversation I decided to move hastens our patenting, we will be submitting a patent pending application by the end of the July with the help of patent attorney Graham Pechenik (https://www.linkedin.com/in/gpechenik/). He saw me speaking at a conference and loves what we are doing so is giving us a massive discount! :). I still believe the most valuable IP is the user's content. Once a user has their child's cutest dance or their partner's 3D hug on our platform the likelihood of them jumping ship to a different platform is much lower. \u0026nbsp;If we reach the higher tier of investment or start hearing about other companies moving towards utilizing 3D movement data in similar ways we might change our strategy. As for our future IP we are planning to use the movement data (with users explicit consent) to train machine learning models that can transform our interactions with technology (imagine if siri or alexa could actually understand your body language), these models are an IP that others would not be able to replicate without the large data sets that we are collecting. 2. 3D data is totally different then video because you can interact with this data in your 3D environment. You can catch the kiss your friend blew or feel a vibration when you actually give them a hi five/hand shake. You can even embody your dance teachers virtual avatar and dance \"inside of them\" to learn their moves. To fully understand how unique and different this data is I'd recommend you try out our prototypes or join one of our live events.

Regarding the runway, me and Matt are totally committed to keep building Meu even if we don't raise any money. This is the future we believe in and we won't give it up. Our deck shows how we would use the funds over the next 8 months to mostly fund the rest of the team and be able to stick to the deadlines and insure we continue to be the leading company in this domain: \u0026nbsp;2 months (50k) to improve UX \u0026amp; finish social networkfeatures (importing contacts, sending groupmessages)- 3 months (100 k) to implement added features -(different avatars/users 3D faces/ movement feedbackcontrol panel)- 3 months (100k) to Build API. My hope is that 9 months from now we have a large enough user base so we can raise a series A, which would allow us to increase the team to include\u0026nbsp;a machine learning expert along with building the features required to monetize the app and api which will require a security specialist.","author_name":"Sarah Hashkes","votes":0,"created_at":"2020-06-10T22:53:01Z"}]},{"id":117697,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:117697","question":"Hello Sarah, I find your project interesting. I have some questions about your app that I've been wanting to ask you for a while: 1) As I understand, you are trying to make of MEU a popular app for sharing with friends. As you may know, Instagram is a company owned by Facebook that has a monopoly on social media. It is well know that they like to copy the code of diverse apps such as Snapchat or even now with Tik Tok and integrate it to Instagram, so they steal users from them and people lose interest. If you are a company that has just started, what is the guarantee that MEU will not suffer the same fate as the big companies I mentioned? 2) It could be because of the fact that English is not my native language, but I find the vocabulary you guys used to explain how could MEU be utilized as a health method too technical. Could you guys explain with simpler words for me? I would really appreciate your answers.

Thank's Josue, We are working with an expert IP lawyer (Graham Pechenik) as our legal advisor helping us patent what we are building to incentivize companies like FB or snapchat to license our software development package or IP instead of stealing it. Also the big companies will never be as fast or as creative as our team. 2. One a basic level sending or receiving a message in Meu increases people's movement and their calorie output which increases health. On the deeper technological level Meu is based on detecting high level movement features, jumping, opening your body and more and this technology can help in creating health trackers and even AI that understand our body. Our current project with Redligh Holland will be a pilot for that using our technology to test if we can identify physiological changes in people who microdose while maintaining their privacy.","author_name":"Sarah Hashkes","votes":0,"created_at":"2020-12-15T18:57:47Z"}]},{"id":106903,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:106903","question":"Why is your application compatible with so few Android devices??

I am still quite surprised that this company has not raised quite a bit more. Due to COVID, a lot of therapists like me have been using videoconferencing to provide individual, family and couples' therapy. And since insurance companies have seen how effective that mode of treatment can be, and how well it can help us serve people who may be isolated and/or have difficulties coming in to the office, we're seeing a strong move toward having video-based therapy be fully paid for even after COVID. Imagine how much easier it will now be to get that reluctant spouse to therapy, or to have one child seen by a therapist without having to find childcare for the other kids, or be seen yourself without having the stigma of walking into a therapist office and potentially running into someone you know. Most of all, you can choose the perfect therapist even if they don't happen to work anywhere near you! But the thousands of therapists who are making this move need tools so that that closeness and depth of therapy is still created and maintained. Technologies like what Sarah and Matt are doing have huge potential in this space, and this is just one niche they can pursue!","author_name":"Alan Jacobson","votes":0,"created_at":"2020-07-30T12:48:16Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/radix.motion#question-99785","answers":[]},{"id":98041,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:98041","question":"Do you intend to pay a dividend (post-SAFE conversion)?","author_name":"Craig J.
