FAQ:
- Q: What happens to my investment capital if Woods decides not to open the San Anselmo restaurant? I would be investing in not only Woods, but in the longevity of the restaurant in my community and it's potential for my and other investors ROI (use of the restaurant).
  A: Hi David, We are absolutely committed to opening our brewpub & distillery restaurant in San Anselmo. The owner of the commercial space at 647 San Anselmo Ave is one of our oldest (and favorite!) investors. I can't imagine a scenario in which we would decide not to pursue this project. We've already begun prep work and our building permit will be issued any day now. We can't wait to open our doors to the community! Best, Jim
- Q: Hi there, a) What is your most recent monthly burn rate? b) What is your most recent monthly cash on hand? c) Are you raising a parallel angel or VC round simultaneously? If yes, who is investing in this round?
  A: Hi Teddy, Thanks for reaching out! 1) Burn Rate - We were profitable April through July, so we aren't currently burning. Hospitality in San Francisco is certainly a seasonal business, so we may experience a month or two of losses from time to time, but we are projecting profitability over the next 12 months. 2) Cash - Our cash in hand is $108,163, as of September 2023. 3) Parallel Round - Yes. We are raising a parallel convertible debt round from accredited investors on the same terms (as you...
- Q: Hey Jim - I'm a Cole Valley resident, and super excited to have you join the neighborhood. Can you share the most recent valuation from your latest priced round?
  A: Hi Jason - Thanks for the warm welcome! We're excited too! The last priced round valued the company at $5.9 million in early 2018. Since you're local, I'd love to meet up and discuss the opportunities any further questions you might have. Let me know if you're interested and a good time to chat! Best, Jim
- Q: I love woods! I go to to lowside all the time, and the cole valley location would be close to me as well. A couple of questions for you: 1. How are interest payments made? Monthly/Yearly, direct into an investor account? And is it just interest, or some principal too? 2. How l...
  A: Hi Alexander,  I'm sorry I missed this until today! Below are your answers.  1. All principal and interest is due at the end of the term 1/1/2028. Wefunder will deposit that into the bank account they have on file (assuming you don't convert to equity before then).  2. January 1, 2028 is the maturity date.  3. Your investment will follow the choice of the lead investor, Bryan Valverde. So if he chooses to convert at the terms of the liquidity event (with a 20% di...
