Hi Jeff, Thank you for taking time to comment. I'm sorry to hear you've had such an overall bad experience investing in companies on Wefunder. Thirty seven investments means you have been very active. If you look at stats of VC funds, you'll see that those which invest in tech companies normally see about 10% of their investments return 10X. Then about 20 - 30% provide some moderate return a modest return while the rest of their investments are losers. So, the three growing companies in your portfolio and a few failures would mean that you are potentially on the right track. It seems you're not counting Tradefox in your list of potential winners at the moment, so you could make that 4 in your list of growing companies very soon. ;-) I can only speak for Tradefox as to why it has taken us more time that we hoped to start scaling. We were early to market which meant we needed to keep innovating, testing product ideas and validating our assumptions. We kept our burn rate low and raised additional rounds of funding to make sure we didn't run out of capital before establishing product market fit. Since we are selling to businesses, we needed to prove that we are here to stay before companies would trust us with their confidential data and eventually invest their capital into our products. It normally takes more than 3 years before companies will embrace a new service provider. Many companies in our industry were reluctant to support our mission of creating transparency because they had created successful businesses in an opaque market. It took us quite a lot of time to discover the types of companies which would embrace our mission while also pulling in their trading partners to kick off our networks effects. I see you invested in 2017 which was one year before we launched the new business intelligence product. So you've been here with us for 5 years now. Thank you for that. :) I apologize that it has taken longer than you (or I) would have liked. But, I'm very certain that we are on the right track and am willing to take on some more risk in exchange for more upside. If you would like to step out of your investment, I will buy out your position personally by paying what you invested x 5% pa. You can let me know by replying back to any of the email updates I've sent you in the past. Thank you. - Chris

My pleasure. This was a big one! more to come soon. :)

My pleasure Darryl! This is putting some serious wind in our sails. :)

Thanks James. It has taken us quite some time to get this partnership in place but it has been work the wait. The whole team is excited about it because it gives us a lot more power to resolve our customer's problems while providing an excellent new revenue stream.
