## FAQ
1. **How do you justify your valuation without any sales?**
   - That's a great question and thank you for considering investing! 👍 Unlike for later stage companies an early stage startup's valuation is not entirely dependent on its revenue. We expect our investors to take a long-term view at where we can be ten years from now. Having said that, there are a few other key indicators that can help evaluating a pre-revenue startup such as: (1) Traction and expected near-term revenues: over 40k sign ups which are set to grow to 100k prior to our pre-order laun...
2. **Why no discount rate?**
   - I'm assuming you are referring to a discount on the SAFE. None of our existing investors have a discount rate and it's the first time we are being asked for one. It's just not something we offer at this stage.
3. **What patents or elements of the technology are you in control of?**
   - At this point we cannot disclose too much in public about our IP. We are currently working with a renowned Silicon Valley patent attorney. However, ShapeScale has multiple patentable aspects including our software algorithms, software user experience, scanning tech, and mechanical design.
4. **Second query Alexandre- what firm did you use to distribute and spread the word for your video that garnered 1M views in its first day?**
   - All done in-house. The video and the marketing. We spend a lot of time researching our audience by testing the product through our internal pilots as well as the messaging on Facebook. Basically we crafted an ad with the features that we understood would resonate most with our core audience. We actually didn't have to spend a lot of money on advertising because for each paid view we would achieve eight organic views due to the high engagement on Facebook. We believe we can quickly achieve pro...
5. **You had/have great social media exposure 1M views, 40K signups. Why didn't you take pre-orders from day 1? And if it's set to grow to 100K signups, why not start taking pre-orders now?**
   - It's simple: because we can do better. ✌️ We have managed several product launches before and it's important to have a great amount of momentum during your first two launch weeks. That way you can reap ripple effects and build a large campaign. Moreover email acquisition of a qualified audience is never going to be cheaper than now because people are eager to sign up because they want to get the product. The email list will have long lasting value for direct marketing and advertising retarget...

## Q&A
- Q: Finally an update after ghosting investors for 4 years? I can almost guarantee the company is about to ask us all for more money. I fully expect that this company will ghost us again as soon as the funding round closes, since they already have shown us what they think of us.
  - A: Hi Andrew, I understand your frustration, but I want to clarify that we have provided updates for 2022, 2023, and 2024. Our primary focus has been on building and growing the company, and while we may not always provide frequent updates, we remain committed to delivering value to our investors. Our goal has never been to “ghost” investors but to ensure we are using our time and resources effectively to create a successful outcome for everyone involved. This has nothing to do with how we view our investors—we deeply appreciate everyone who has supported us along the way. As you may have noticed, our campaign page has been updated over the past few days, so our upcoming campaign should come as no surprise. Now that our operations have scaled and our progress is more structured, it makes sense to provide more regular updates. Moving forward, we will aim to share quarterly updates with Wefunder investors to keep everyone better informed. That said if you’re unsatisfied with your investment, please feel free to reach out to me directly at alex@shapescale.com, and we can discuss a potential buyout.
