FAQ:
- Q: I'm concerned about your financials. How are your operating expenses so high? You’re burning $130K a month and have debt and no cash? Are you seeking additional funding outside of this raise? Thanks

  A: Hi Badal, First of all, thank you for your interest in Rake. I'll answer your questions below: 1. Rake is not a CRM. While messaging is and will continue to become integral to CRM platforms, we are not focused on competing directly in that space. Our vision for Rake is to remain a highly-manageable universal messaging platform suitable for any organization's needs. Our vision is that Rake would tightly integrate to a large number of popular CRMs that provide APIs to do so. This funding round ...
