   - Hey Jeff, Great question! SHARE’s Community Greenlight initiative is our way of ensuring filmmakers get paid fairly and that projects receive funding in a transparent, community-driven way. As our platform grows, we promise to invest in and fund projects—this is at the heart of our mission. We’ll launch funding rounds tied to key platform growth milestones, allocating funds to projects that our community, audiences, and the general public vote for. How It Works: 1.

   - Hi Kevin, Thank you for your thoughtful questions and for taking the time to review our campaign. Burn Rate Clarification: You're right to bring that discrepancy to our attention, thank you. Our average monthly burn rate was approximately $10,000, which includes both operational expenses and upfront development costs.

## Q&A
- Q: Hello, I'm concerned about the lack of updates and inclusion in company emails, as seen in a previous company's experience where investors were not informed about significant developments, including the sale of the company without returns. Can you please clarify: 1. How often will your company provide updates to investors? 2. What measures will you take to ensure transparency and keep investors informed about key developments, such as financial performance, strategic decisions, or changes in leadership? I would appreciate it if you could outline your communication plan and frequency to maintain trust and transparency with your investors.
  - A: Hi Edgar, First and foremost, thank you again for your investment and support in SHARE. It really means a lot to us, and we're grateful to have you with us on this journey. Your belief in what we’re building energizes everything we do. We send updates to our investors at the end of each quarter (unless we have exciting news to share between that timeframe), and our next one is scheduled to go out this coming Monday, June 30th. But since you’ve just joined us, I wanted to personally share a preview of where things stand as of June... Key Highlights: -Monthly Active Users (MAUs): 1,191 members -ARR: $9,590.40 (and growing!) -Pro Members: 80 active subscribers -Tech Upgrade: We’ve officially onboarded a new development team to build Version 2 of the SHARE platform that’s set to launch on or around August 16th Lowlights: -Growth in new members slowed a bit in June, largely due to a pause in advertising and limited rollout of some key features. -That said, we’re on it!

- Q: 1) Under the Details section of your campaign page, it states “[o]ver the last three months, revenues have averaged $500/month, cost of goods sold has averaged $8,000/month, and operational expenses have averaged $7,000/month, for an average burn rate of $10,000 per month.” At a glance, the numbers don't add up, so can you clarify what your burn rate is? 2) How many subscribers do you currently have? 3) What percentage of revenue is generated by each section (subscriptions, ads, etc.) of your business model? 4) What's the exit strategy?
  - A: Hi Kevin, Thank you for your thoughtful questions and for taking the time to review our campaign. Burn Rate Clarification: You're right to bring that discrepancy to our attention, thank you. Our average monthly burn rate was approximately $10,000, which includes both operational expenses and upfront development costs. The $8,000 listed under “cost of goods sold” primarily reflects initial tech and infrastructure investments (which are not recurring). We’ll be updating the language on our page for clarity. We currently have close to 1200 subscribers and 81 ($810/m) pro subscribers and growing. It’s worth noting that we’ve done zero major marketing to date, aside from organic posts on social media, Instagram being the most active. That said, we’re now partnering with a top-tier marketing agency and preparing for a robust campaign launch alongside Version 2 of the platform in the next 6–8 weeks. Revenue Breakdown: At this early stage, nearly 100% of our revenue has come from subscriptions. Ad revenue, marketplace features and streaming are part of our next rollout, so we expect revenue to grow significantly with the launch of V2 and expanded user engagement. Exit Strategy: Our goal is to scale SHARE into a leading global platform for filmmakers and creators, with monetization across subscriptions, marketplace fees, ad revenue, and licensing. Exit opportunities may include acquisition by a major media/tech company or an IPO, depending on market trajectory and platform growth. Our goal is to go the distance, maintain full control of the company, and bring our vision to life. I hope this helps clarify things—please don’t hesitate to reach out with any further questions. We’re excited about the road ahead and grateful for your interest in SHARE. Warmly, Erin Norman CEO & Co-Founder SHARE
- Q: I own https://crowdsource.capital. Interested?
- Q: I'm interested in conveying our transportation systems of the future. sure there is a media bundle in process but seriously folks the traffic system in minority report was horrible. making contact in your environment is tedious. The founder of Uber who pirated my 1:1 playbook for Demand/Responsive Door-to-Door transportation regime to virtually conduct political espionage. your guilds sued him and crew for $250 Billion and he is so proud of that fact. So for real I have solved traffic congestion with lines and circles and some Boy Scout know how. I realized and thinking about what Larry Paige said, "When searching for something draw a straight line" in microseconds i realized that i cannot drive through a building as the road had to veer left to avoid the building. it was a remarkable experience.
- Q: How do projects get funded? Are there budget limits? TV pilots? Or Just features/shorts? How does the financing piece work?
  - A: Hey Jeff, Great question! SHARE’s Community Greenlight initiative is our way of ensuring filmmakers get paid fairly and that projects receive funding in a transparent, community-driven way. As our platform grows, we promise to invest in and fund projects—this is at the heart of our mission. We’ll launch funding rounds tied to key platform growth milestones, allocating funds to projects that our community, audiences, and the general public vote for. How It Works: 1. Filmmakers submit their projects for funding consideration. 2. The SHARE community, along with fans and the public, vote on what gets funded. Unlike traditional studios, we won’t decide—audiences will. 3. Selected projects receive funding based on each round’s allocation. We’re funding features, shorts, TV pilots, and more, with different genres highlighted in each round to give all types of projects a chance to shine. While we don’t have set budget limits yet, funding will scale as the platform grows. Beyond Community Greenlight, SHARE also invites investors to join our platform and explore the projects our users post. While we can’t guarantee external funding, we’re actively working to bring investors to the platform and give filmmakers maximum exposure to funding opportunities. No other platform—Mandy, Backstage, StaffMeUp—gives back to the filmmaker community the way we do. We’re building something different, by filmmakers, for filmmakers, because we understand that funding is the key to making cinematic visions a reality. Hope this helps! Excited to have you on this journey with us. Best, Leonardo Leon CCO & Co-Founder, SHARE
