Investing in this company means tapping into the large eLearning meeting with an exciting, patent protected solution. VideoNotebook provides a smart-solution to a problem we all suffer from: Being inundated with too much information we dont have time to digest. When I saw the demo (and you all should try it as well), it did not take long for me to understand the value. How many meetings have you sat in, not remembering its content a week later? How many classes have you participating in, wishing it was distilled for you? Sure, there are companies (too many….) that offer transcriptions. But, would you really like to re-live a 2 hour lecture, re-reading its content? I definitely do not! VideoNotebook took a very different and substantially more practical approach. Providing a VISUAL SUMMARY. For me, that is one company I can invest in but also use every day!","investment_total":20000,"investment_info":"Invested $20,000 this round","is_lead_investor":true,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/eran.steinberg"]}],"investor_memos":[],"tab_counts":{"posts":0,"ask_questions":5,"featured_investors":1,"faq_entries":3},"active_fundraises":[{"id":94031,"entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:94031","state":"successful","offering_type":"4(a)(6)","funding_type":"note","structure":"safe","security_type":"equity","currency":"USD","testing_the_waters":false,"min_purchase":250,"max_purchase":9,"funding_target":50000.0,"minimum_target":"50000.0","maximum_target":"1235000.0","funding_started_at":"2023-12-19T01:44:32Z","funding_closed_at":"2024-12-14T05:01:10Z","auto_close_at":"2024-12-14T04:59:59Z"},{"id":94032,"entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:94032","state":"successful","offering_type":"4(a)(6)","funding_type":"note","structure":"ttw","security_type":"","currency":"USD","testing_the_waters":true,"min_purchase":250,"max_purchase":9,"funding_target":1235000.0,"minimum_target":"50000.0","maximum_target":"1235000.0","funding_started_at":"2023-07-27T21:04:20Z"}],"latest_fundraise":{"id":94031,"entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:94031","state":"successful","offering_type":"4(a)(6)","structure":"safe","testing_the_waters":false,"can_invest_now":false,"funding_started_at":"2023-12-19T01:44:32Z","funding_closed_at":"2024-12-14T05:01:10Z","terms":{"eb":"$5.25M","nb":"$7M","txt":"valuation cap"}},"recent_posts":[],"q_and_a":[{"id":292765,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:292765","question":"Can this be integrated into Microsoft teams as well?

Below is the update I just sent to investors. Regarding \"the annual report with the SEC,\" we comply with all requirements that Wefunder alerts us to. As of now, I'm not aware of any particular SEC annual report. Please email me directly with other questions at mike@videonotebook.com. ================== Hello, Investor! We have some great new updates: University customers: We’re making progress, slowly but surely (it’s summer!), with our university customers. We’re working on a pilot with Arizona State, which may be the largest online university in the world. The guy we’re dealing with has over 100K online students in his area, and our potential revenues per student are about $1/month (conservative estimate). Another guy who’s interested in VN, and is watching this pilot, has over 300K online students. Also, it looks likely that we’ll start a pilot soon with the largest online branch of Stanford - SCPD, or the Stanford Center for Professional Development. They’re the online arm of the Engineering School. So, it really looks like we are on the path to significant revenues next year (2025). In fact, I can easily imagine us achieving cash flow breakeven next year! Chrome Extension: We’re about to launch a major revision of our Chrome Extension that works with “Manifest V3.” This is a new security requirement imposed by Google on web extensions. Besides just keeping up with a compliance requirement, this update has given us the opportunity to re-factor our extension code. Re-factoring is a great practice - kind of like spring cleaning. We continue to search for funding, so please let me know if you have any new ideas for us. Also, don’t hesitate to ask me any questions.
