## FAQ
1. **Your business model states that you take a percentage from every transaction on the platform so it should grow as your users grow. You share the user growth chart, but not the revenue chart. Can you share your revenue raw numbers and MoM growth percentage over the last 12 months?**
   - Hi Bradley! Great question. We were advised to keep some of our revenue numbers confidential from a public page. Please email me at salar@sweatpals.com so I can share more of our revenue numbers with you. Our MoM user growth averages around 25% over the past 12 months, with the past 6 months being higher, with a big surge of new users in January 2024.
