FAQ:
- Q: Does this only work with disposable cups? Used coffee cups are not recyclable or compostable.
  A: We do have lots of close friends asking us these questions. We are going to use biodegradable/recyclable paper cups as much as the business allows.
- Q: Interested in investing but have a few questions. (1) How did you calculate a valuation of 25 million? (2) Can you further explain a little more about these pre-orders? Is is just a matter of manufacturing the kiosks with supporting software, etc. or are there other terms that...

The market size is so large that the first robotic company that proves it will be greatly rewarded, as well as people who invested. We believe we are going to be the first company to prove this market on an impactful scale. The current valuation is much lower than series A. (2) The preorders are functioning as letters of Intent and queuing. It is like h...

Please think of this question, how often ...
