Our team is taking over the $250B market of global companies engaging their prospects and supporting their customers through intelligent conversational voice on their websites and apps. We are starting with the leading e-commerce platforms in the world, like Shopify. VOIQ is built by top Silicon Valley founders and has raised $5M from top investors. Our founder and CEO is Ricardo Garcia-Amaya. He is the global thought leader in AI Voice for businesses. He is also the founder of two of the most influential private communities of tech leaders in the world; the Y Combinator Alumni group with $400B in valuations & 3,500 tech founders, and the Top American Latinx Tech Leaders with founders with $16B in founder exits, and investors with $120B to invest.

Until now, this has been a problem of scale, as only a human would be able to carry out a one-to-one conversation with each client. VOIQ, through Conversational Voice Assistants, brings the dynamics of the gaming world to greet every visitor under its own customized persona and guide them through the ideal path to convert them into customers. Businesses now have the opportunity to showcase their brand personality through the equivalent of their top sales person, and provide the best experience for each one of their prospects, whether it's one or ten million. ## FAQ 1. **How do you plan to use the money from this round?** - We just partnered with one of the leading sales/marketing growth firms in the valley which designed a best-in-class inbound and outbound sales & marketing strategy for us. We will jointly execute this strategy as we also build a best-in-class inside/sales team. Short answer: growing sales. 2. **Do you plan to partner with companies like LeadGenius and offer one solution to vet leads together?** - Hi Ben, actually we are currently working on an integration with large data services that will allow our customers to simply choose their target and launch it directly from our platform (ie: dentists in CA or head of sales medium size business in industry X) without having to bring their own list. 3. **The startup just raised a $4M cap convertible note two weeks ago (closed on 8/26). What merits a 50% premium in such short duration? Why arent we getting such similar terms?** - HI Sohin, the $4M Cap Convertible note round closed in January 2015 (not two weeks ago). The date that you are referring to is most likely the date when we updated our online company profile on AL, not the date in which we closed the round. Apologies for the confusion. 4. **Same question as Sohin plus what is the difference/cost in raise here vs Angel?** - Hi Sarit, not sure if you saw the answer provided to Sohin: The $4M Cap Convertible note round closed in January 2015 (not two weeks ago).

Apologies for the confusion. 5. **Can you give more specifics on the relationship you have with AirBNB?** - Hi Antoine, yes. AirBnB completed the first run using VOIQ for sales lead qualification purposes (that is as much as I can share). ## Team - Ricardo Garcia-Amaya (CEO) ## Q&A - Q: The startup just raised a $4M cap convertible note two weeks ago (closed on 8/26).

The model looks good, but I didn't see anything about that mentioned and would like to know if handled or if it's being left up to the businesses to pre-scrub the numbers being provided to you? - A: Hi Tim, yes, we do scrub numbers against the DNC databases. We are also working on a feature that allows our clients to simply tell us who they want to reach (ie: dentists in the US) as opposed to having to build and upload the list themselves. - Q: Can you give more specifics on the relationship you have with AirBNB? - A: Hi Antoine, yes.
