FAQ:
- Q: In the form C I could not find any information.Does the class of shares being offered have dividend rights?
  A: The class of shares being offered do have rights to distribution of profit. All members will receive K1’s reflecting those distributions.
- Q: Hi, what are your financial projections for this year? What is your exit strategy?
  A: We are projecting $1.5m in revenue this year without any additional funding. We plan to continue building the brand and reach $10m in revenue while occupying shelf space in 75% of the market it more there y attracting the attention of a larger CPG company.
- Q: Hi Michael -- a few questions below: General: - How do you measure penetration rate? Financials: - Can you please discuss the 2017-2018 inventory build? - Can you please provide detail on the 2018 LOC (e.g., do these constitute individuals' or related-party loans, terms on the...
  A: Paul, Thanks for the great questions. Penetration - There are 38,000 food stores viable for our lines and we are in 5,550. Financials Inventory Build was two fold. We expanded from 3 sku's to 14 sku's and expanded from primarily direct to B2B customer to a large portion of product going into distribution. 2018 LOC - is a standard bank LOC used for operating capital. 2018 S&M grew as we were in growth mode. The big pieces were 30% for product demos and 30% for trade shows. The trade show s...
- Q: It’s noted that “Over the three months prior, revenues averaged $34,670/month”. The goal for 2019 revenue is $1.5 million. That would indicate a highly seasonal business. Can you provide revenue projections by month for 2019? Thank you.
  A: Your assumption is correct we experience much higher volumes in Q4 when our products double as gift items. Other spikes occur when we onboard new larger customers as we have to stock all their shelves right off the bat. Currently we are only up 13% over last year's YTD, but our projections are based on historic revenue plus new customers in our sales funnel. 2019 Revenue Projections: May $80k June $370k July $100k Aug $125k Sept $300k Oct $125k Nov $175k Dec $125k
- Q: At what time of year do you share the equity and how much should i get if i invest 250 USD?
  A: The company shares equity by selling shares in this campaign. If you are looking for a profit share, that is a different type of WeFunder campaign which offers profit sharing in exchange for a loan. We are offering equity for sale which may have a profit distribution in the future depending on the amount of profit generated and that would typically occur during Q1. In the near term the real goal is to increase the value of the equity by growing the business as opposed to distributing profits.
