A: Thanks for your question, Andrew!  Yours is the first one and I appreciate your interest in what we're offering.There were a number of reasons for opting for the revenue share as opposed to equity.  Since we're so early on in our actual operating and sales history, it would have been very difficult to determine a valuation that would attract investment without giving up too much equity.  On the other hand, our plan has never been to build the company and sell later.  It co... - Q: Good luck and wish you all the best!!! A: Thank you so much, Alexander! I appreciate your investment and belief in us! - Q: Is this an IPO, will this be publicly traded? A: Hi Marty, thanks for your question!  This is actually a loan investment which will be paid back via a revenue share model in quarterly installments, not an equity offering.  The benefit of this model is that the revenue share payments increase in value as our business revenues grow, so the community we build with our investors will allow us all to make money together, faster.  I'm actually not sure if the equity offerings through Wefunder are considered... - Q: I notice that the payment start date on the investor agreement is blank. What will that payment start date be? I've had prior investments where that was placed years in the future, so I'd like to know what it will be here. A: Hi Maxwell, thanks for your question! Ours will not be pushed off years into the future. It's blank on the form at the moment because we don't know yet when the offering might close, therefore it will be filled in when at least the lower amount is raised and we close the offer. The latest the offering will run until would be end of February 2020, however we could close it earlier if we feel we've raised enough, and we've at least reached the minimum raise amount. We would start payments begin... - Q: Do you have an estimate of the duration it will take for the investor to get the 2.25 multiple? A: Hi Arjun! Thanks for this question. We anticipate it will be between 3-5 years. Of course there are no guarantees on it but we certainly plan to pay it back as soon as possible. It only makes sense as we wouldn't want to tick off our investors/customers! We have a lot of exciting news coming up in the future as well that will help show how we are growing.
