## Q&A
- Q: Hi Mike, when might we expect our annual update/payment from you?
- Q: Mike Norman from Wefunder told me I have to ask you this question and suggested I put it in the Q&A. In your report to investors you used the phrase "our growth" . Revenue for the past 12 months that you're paying back investors on was $1.9m. This is a significant amount below anything presented in the offering. 2015 was $3.2m and Q3 2016 run rate at the time of the offering was $6.7m. Can you clarify the use of the phrase "our growth" as it is confusing to me in this context. Thanks, Chris
- Q: Hello Mike and the team..... you have gone very quiet on all this I think out of courtesy to your investors an update or reply to some questions would be the right thing to do.
- Q: Hey Mike, Whats the update here... been in escrow for a while now, can you do an update to your investors..?
- Q: When can we expect to receive our MOD if we invested the appropriate level?
- Q: Hi - I am an early bird investor which means the repayment amount is 2x. However in the legal agreement it only states 1.5x. Can I get a modified agreement?
- Q: Today is Jan 31, I have not heard anything about a payment, when will we get an update?
- Q: Hi. Will we get any tax documents for 2018
- Q: I received a couple of emails on updates but when I attempted to reach back out to Ashley, her emails bounces back. Who can I deal with now?
- Q: Hi Mike, it's been almost a month since you were funded and I haven't received one email or follow up. Just wondering how it's all going / next steps...
- Q: I'm trying all channels here as Wefunder has not responded to my emails in 11 days and has not returned my call. I sent my money but it hasn't been credited to the campaign. Can you please chase this up?
- Q: Hi Mike, I have already invested and am wondering when the investors will be emailed to select the product based on our investment tier? I am going on vacation soon and am hoping to get my Mod before going on vacation. Hope to hear back from you soon! :)
- Q: I tried investing in your company, but my payment never went through! I'm worried the amount I really want to be part of this business so is there a way we can fix this issue?
- Q: Mike, just confirming that this ISN'T convertible debt, but will be paid back. I can't located the note docs, but assume the repayment is over some nominal period of time?
- Q: Hey Mike! I wish to invest small amount with ThisisGround. But, I am outside US and new to WeFunder platform. Is there any legal obligation for non-US entity?
