## Story
Film gear is too expensive, and can easily cost more than €20,000 to buy. You as a creator cannot afford this. On the other hand, staying on top of your creative game is a constant challenge with new standards evolving every day. And you as a creator is built to be creative… Not to spend your time chasing clients. These challenges leave us with so many great stories out there, that never reach their full potential.But we need YOUR help to bring this opportunity  to even more creators, because right now there are a lot of great stories  that goes unwritten – with your money & support we can help even more  creators tell their story. We run the fastest-growing camera-sharing community in Europe, where filmmakers and photographers can safely Rent, Rent out & Subscribe to gear between each other — think the Airbnb of professional film equipment.We make it up to 50% more affordable to rent video equipment on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis — with global coverage. In three years, we have grown from 0 to 20,000+ members, and they love us! "There are times when I really, really need items and they cost an absolute fortune. Renting them makes so much more financial sense than actually buying them."Lenders earn money renting out their gear to other creators when they are not using the equipment themselves."It’s my first month of subscribing to that camera, but I’ve already rented it out a few times, so it’s already earned itself in the subscription fee, which is pretty genius, I think.Currently, we have more than 18,000 active listings worth more than €36M in gear value across 1,000+ lenders in Europe. On average, our active lenders earn €560 per month from rentals through our platform, and we even have examples of lenders earning more than €160,000 renting out their gear on Wedio.Gear is just the tool that enables what really matters — the stories. And last year, we launched Wedio Academy, where we invite the best members to educate other creators via masterclasses, templates, and creator lists. ….and it is working…Today, we help almost 100,000 monthly creators become better — together. And so far, our community has increased by 336% in 2022.We have three different ways we earn money;Commission from our short-term rentals (10 % from renters, 20% from lenders whenever a rental is happening through Wedio).Commission from our subscriptions (we get paid by our retail partners to deliver an order).Commission from affiliate links to other partners (such as brands, retail partners, software, and other creative tools).Taking a bottom-up starting point, we tab into a total addressable market of 71 billion euros, and it has an accumulated annual growth of 13%. There are over 50 million creators in the world…. The sharing economy is booming.. and access instead of ownership — is the future. In other words — the timing for Wedio couldn’t be better.During our first four years, we reached an average YoY revenue growth of 180%. We currently have monthly GMV revenue of €60K+ with a monthly burn of €20K.We plan to reach break-even in February 2024, by focusing our activities on the Danish and UK markets. From there, we chase rapid growth in new markets.

## Q&A
- Q: What do i get from investing?
  - A: Hey Jonas! Thanks for reaching out and expressing interest in investing with us. Let me give you the rundown! Essentially, you'll be receiving shares in Wedio based on our current €4M pre-money valuation. And as Wedio grows in the coming years, our valuation is expected to increase too. When there's a financial transaction (for example, if Wedio gets acquired or goes public), you'll receive your investment back multiplied by the new valuation. For example, if you invested €1000 today with a €4M valuation, and in three years Wedio is sold with a €50M valuation, you'd receive €12,500 in cash (that's 12.5 times your original investment). And the more you invest, the more investor perks you'll receive: - €250 to €999: You'll get monthly updates from us with performance updates, challenges, thoughts, and strategic directions. - €1,000 to €4,999: You'll be invited to participate in our ongoing feature and activity prioritization with the Wedio team. - €5,000 to €24,999: You'll be invited to a full-day experience with the Wedio team, including activities, dinner, a party, and a hotel stay in Aarhus, Denmark. - €25,000 or more: You'll be invited to attend advisory group sessions in Aarhus, Denmark, where you can help us tackle our business challenges. And the minimum investment amount is only €100. It's worth noting that investing does come with risk. If Wedio doesn't succeed, your investment will be lost. Does that make sense?

- Q: I was a owner on wedio but moved away due to you shutting down the uk site because of theft. What have you done to rectify this?
  - A: Hey Graham, Thank you for a great question. Overall, we did two major updates. 1. Increased safety of our verification process. How? - Better KYC (Matching member-submitted info with multiple databases to determine digital footprint) - Document Verification (Validation of authenticity and text and/or image extraction) - Liveness check (Facial comparison between a live photo and the image extracted from the document) 2. Monitoring suspicious activity via automation & processes How? - Limiting overlapping High-Value Rentals (Making sure that one member cannot rent expensive gear from multiple lenders for the same period*) - Extra verification on High-Value Rentals (Making sure we trust the renter’s intention by asking for details and proof about upcoming projects*) Safety is our number 1 priority at Wedio. Our processes are not perfect, and mistakes happen, but we can promise we proactively work on making Wedio the safest creator community — every day. Furthermore, our affected lenders were compensated and are still active at Wedio today. And of course, you are more than welcome to join Wedio again (maybe as an investor?) All the best Daniel

- Q: If any distribution of profit sharing or income or Payback of some sort to shareholders??? How will the Payback of the loan be made to international non-accredited shareholders as income to our bank accounts or wallets?? As shareholders at least communicate with us on a bi-annually or quarterly basis or wharver is regulated by the SEC. I believe accountability, transparency and responsibility should be held to the standards of any company.
  - A: Hi George, Thank you for reaching out. At this time, we are not distributing dividends, as we have not yet generated a profit. We keep our investors informed through stakeholder updates. I’ve just reviewed the list and noticed that you were not included. I will add you immediately so you can start receiving these updates. Best regards, Morten

- Q: Am I still an investor of Weido because I don't see my Investment in the portfolio???
  - A: Hey George, Yes — you are still an investor (At least it says that in our Wefunder dashboard). If you do not see it in your personal portfolio, please reach out to Wefunder for them to help you. Best Daniel
- Q: How do you intend to compete with dominant companies with large market share / presence, like Fat Llama who have become integral and the norm for creators in London?
  - A: Hey Joshua, Thank you for a great question! :-) First of all, I love everything our different competitors do. Rather than focusing solely on the competition, we believe in embracing the value of having multiple players within our field to drive education towards sustainable P2P marketplaces. To differentiate ourselves, we have implemented a community-first strategy that focuses on three significant areas. Firstly, we position ourselves as a creator community rather than a "marketplace", with a specific focus on serving ambitious content creators. Through our platform, we utilize technology to help creators meet in the physical world, collaborate and become better creatives. Our member success team provides personal support, ensuring that our members have a tailored rental experience. Secondly, we support international rentals, which is essential for content creators shooting in different locations. Bringing one's gear while shooting abroad is often impractical and expensive, and we aim to provide our members with access to gear locally. We already have multiple stories of Danish and UK members shooting in everything from South Africa & Antarctica to Iceland and Bali. Thirdly, we expand our categories to support creatives only. Wedio Academy, where we invite members to host masterclasses and provide guidance on how to succeed in the creative industry, is the first example of this. The next step is launching a "buy/sell film gear" feature in May 2023, which creates synergy with our existing P2P rental marketplace. In summary, our community-first strategy, coupled with our unique offerings such as international rentals and Wedio Academy, set us apart from the competition. We believe that this approach (over time) will appeal to creators who are looking for a personalized, supportive, and comprehensive rental experience. I hope this answered your question :-)
