I noticed that at least one of the founders was on LinkedIn; however, there is no presence of Native American Natural Foods. IMHO I believe the name of the company should have its own account on LinkedIn as well as Twitter. This would generate more interest and information, re...

Thank you for the suggestion Larry and your investment. We will look into creating an account.

Great product and mission! But given the headwinds from corporate competitors and low profitability projections, how do you support the $8 million valuation?

Dan, Tanka products are the third best-selling product in the natural jerky/meat snack category. Setting the evaluation at just over 2.2 times annual earnings is far below what other top brands in the category have traded at. Thank you for your interest in Tanka. Mark Tilsen, President

I hope you go out there and kick some ass. Every fiber of my nervous system is cheering for you. What are your expectations on product range? Are you looking to widen that to beverages for example? What's your marketing strategy? will you have a testimonial from the sports wor...

Alessandro, thank you for your support. Many of those issues we are dealing with but we need to stay focused on our marketing and sales right now. Since the huge food industry conglomerates are now in our category we have to maintain our position in our retailers. We don't have the marketing dollars to keep up with their promotions but we do have creativity to help combat their marketing.

How often will financial reports be available to the public or investors?

We anticipate to provide financials report yearly to all investors.

Long time product user, love it! I'm having a hard time seeing how you can project revenues going from $3.5m in 2016 to $12.1m in 2020, but only earning $300k in 2020? Not sure how $300k in EBITDA can validate a $8m valuation?

The evaluation is based on opening up new channels and with those channels come expenses of initials opens, marketing and support which then decreases the net earnings. For the next 5 years we are focused on growing the sales avenues which increases the marketing and channel expenses so earnings will be lower until we stabilize the growth.
