The value we add is in our patent-pending proof of originality which is a decentralized and cheap way to validate NFT authenticity. Few marketplaces are exploring originality detection, and the ones that are use expensive, centralized, and hidden approaches. Another innovation we are developing is the use of a content-based search engine that does not simply use keyword search like every other marketplace. There are several institutional investors in this round on Wefunder, they've all chosen to use their private names on the investor list so we won't disclose who's who. I believe we can provide a cap table if you're interested. The valuation has been a little bit tricky and we apologize for any confusion there. Wefunder has changed their policies about valuations during our round and we are trying to maintain compliance as best as we can. The current valuation of $8M is based on our Algorand Foundation grant, patent-pending technology, and the revenue data/projections from Algorand's growing NFT ecosystem (currently generating about $1 million in sales per month).","author_name":"Evan Maltz","votes":1,"created_at":"2021-10-28T22:49:24Z"}]},{"id":170863,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:170863","question":"Hi why did the valuation cap jump from 5M to 12M after we passed the 250k raise 🤔","author_name":"C Vedue","votes":2,"created_at":"2021-09-23T06:36:56Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/zestbloom#question-170863","answers":[{"id":170886,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:170886","answer":"In all honesty, we are still significantly undervalued: The Wefunder was created 5 months ago when the NFT Marketplace was only an idea since then we've developed an NFT Marketplace ready to launch in two weeks and developed an algorithm that is in the process of becoming an IP. These developments have significantly increased the value of the Marketplace. And the IP alone is worth more than the NFT Marketplace. Our actual valuation should be closer to 20 million but we decided not to raise the value so significantly that we would discourage our early backers. Because we haven't filed our form C we can update the valuation or not move forward with the investment. These are discussions that have become the most challenging part of the industry. Our compromise was to raise the valuation and give the early backers an opportunity to continue the investment or allow investors to withdraw for better opportunities.

We are very excited to be joining the explosive NFT space. It seems very clear to us that NFTs are here to stay and we anticipate growing within this newly formed market. To reference your \"...co-founder team hopping from gig to gig every few months to couple years.\" I'm not sure where you are gathering this information. We have never jumped from gig to gig. In fact, this is our second company with Cipher Corp (our developer company) facilitating and creating ZestBloom, Inc. We have successfully expanded Cipher during an ongoing global pandemic beginning our business in March of 2020. I personally started Cipher Corp after successfully growing my business while I was pregnant under the name \"JIRAF.\" I changed the name to Cipher Corp to include my husband Ryan Farrell in my business. We've embedded Linux environments to develop PyTest automation systems to implementing test cases against SQL databases and data transformation software modules and completed front-end development for several different corporations including Dolby, Selux, MAC, and different municipalities in Vermont. I also worked for Lawrence Berkeley labs developing the user interface design for the 696-processor Cray T3E supercomputer. We have in-depth knowledge of software development with over 25 years of experience combined. 1) We are fully committed to our project. We've done tremendous amounts of work to get to this point in our lives with the different skillset we attained in our careers and projects. It seems only natural that we would finally build something of our own with the knowledge we gained from our field of work and life experience. If you're interested in investing just for the ROI, I'm not guaranteeing that. If you're interested in investing in software engineers that have proven work experience in an industry that requires highly skilled individuals to facilitate and compete in a constantly changing industry then I can back that. 2) The NFT market hit new highs in the second quarter of 2021, with US$2.5 billion in sales so far this year.

We expect the Algorand community will be very excited for our launch, which will premier a National Geographic award-winning photographer among others. We were also contacted by a very interested team led by a prominent artist in collaboration with a Nobel Prize-winner; they're working on a generative art project that will help populate the site. 4) We have a patent-pending algorithm that provides a decentralized proof of originality that will add intrinsic value to all works on our platform. This proof will allow collectors to easily and transparently verify the originality of a piece without combing through the blockchain history or trusting specific addresses. 5) Our business model is two-fold. First, we are onboarding artists onto blockchain through a very simple, hybrid user experience that supports fiat transactions as well as crypto payments (with negligibly small gas fees). We collect commissions from buyers on works sold through the platform (artists receive the full bid price) in exchange for providing artists with a community of collectors, easy and free minting, a proof of originality, and passive income in perpetuity. We don't charge transaction fees to avoid charging where we don't add value; Algorand facilitates transactions very cheaply and variable commissions on sales charges end users proportionately to their usage/quality of the content. Secondly, we are planning to sell the software solutions we created for ourselves to other marketplaces. This B2B model may prove even more lucrative as we help onboard new marketplaces and drive ecosystem growth.","author_name":"Evan Maltz","votes":2,"created_at":"2021-10-29T18:35:34Z"}]},{"id":176351,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:176351","question":"Hello There, I Invested when the valuation was \u0026lt;60k raise but my current terms say $8M valuation cap and 20% discount.
