Why bother with a Reg. CF funding round if you're going to have a $1,000 minimum investment. Seems counter-productive to me... would like to get in but not at Reg. D minimums...

Hi Barnaby, As per your feedback, we are working on changing our limit to $100. Hopefully, it should be done later today, if you are still interested in investing. Thank you for your interest! Regards, Rishi

Hi, very interested in your concept. Two questions: 1) In your investor deck you mention $15k in revenue thus far. Given the pricing plan, this would equate to no on-premise customers. What is your current customer base up to currently? 2) What protection do you have over inte...

Hi Doug, thanks for your interest. 1) The 15K is one time revenue just for the pilot and some custom integrations. We intend to charge a licensing & support fee (at a discount from the list pricing) to the same customer after the pilot stage. We have a pipeline of 5 customers, out of which 1 is very interested in a POC. The customer is a large enterprise SaaS company. Currently our target is to close 2-3 customers as we raise our seed round. We will need to raise capital to support more. ...

I'm in the DevOps space and own a consultancy around DevOps Training & Mentoring. Most of our customers experiencing pain are doing so because of historical technical debt (taken on willingly with the understanding it would have to be solved later, or simply because they d...

Not necessarily. Even for companies using a true DevOps model, determining the cause of problems and how to solve them is necessary. Otherwise you will be destroying the wrong things :). Additionally, the DevOps model encourages further collaboration between traditional silos (eg. Developers and Operations) which means that all the pain points mentioned in our slide deck will still be there and may even increase due to larger, more diverse groups being involved in the incident response process.

Do you have any product demo videos you can share? Something to show how far along the POC is and help visualize its use? Even if it's just shell output?

Hi Taylor, right now we are in semi-stealth mode as we are still filing some key patents. So currently, we don't have a public demo.Our MVP is in use at a global telco, we actually have a fully functional product including a UI. If you are interested in investing over $2500 you can reach out to Rishi (rishi@smartqed.com) who can give you a demo.

* I think I understand what you're trying to accomplish with Smart QED, but maybe you could give an explanation in layman's terms what problem you're trying to solve and how SmartQED will solve it. ("Explain like I'm 5" for those of us who aren't developers.) * Julie's history...

Hi Dean, Think of us in two ways: 1) We are the Google Docs for IT Ops people 2) We are an IT Doctor that examines your problems and gives you the proper medicine (only here we are curing sick servers, routers etc :). Julie did have a startup in the same domain doing log analytics, but the product & solution was different. The funding round is open until August, but we are targeting to raise the crowdfunding 100k portion within the next two months. After that we would like to target more ...
