Please explain how you calculate a $5mm valuation? Seems high, so I must be missing something... Thanks!

Early stage valuations are definitely more art than science. If we continue on our current growth trajectory, we will generate ~$2.5M of revenue over the next 12 months.

Can you provide some clarity into your 2016 revenue, and do you have any financial statements to support it? You say were doing $100k a month prior to summer, but the chart above shows total Q1 revenue to be around $225k. Also interested in seeing your response to Jonathan Lil...

We have done just under $600k of revenue to date in 2016 (Jan - Aug). We did $98k of revenue in April, and then the summer slow down started. We are already seeing an encouraging uptick in appointments and revenue now that the summer holidays are coming to an end.
