Following this offering we will be conducting the more typical Regulation D 506(c) or 'Reg D' for accredited investors only. When we are ready to deploy our software/blockchain we will be conducting our Regulation A+ ICO to take the Token 'public', so to speak. (Currently projected for late 2018 early 2019)
Hm. Interesting that you would have gone CF before the Reg D 504 from family & friends. So, if this wasn't the ICO, then StartEngine didn't charge you $25k, their fee is only $5k. I would think that the KYC / AML checks that they are doing on the investors alone is worth the rake. Are you also doing the 5% advertising reinvestment through their captive ad company? Seems like you are getting some great interest of FB, which is typically a pretty fickle crowd. Props to you for getting back to them on all the questions, I think that is half the battle.
Regarding office space... it's interesting that RIOT Blockchain is in Castle Rock too... such a small town for two notable Blockchain entrants.
The CF has to be profitable for you. Figure $28k in rake, another $30k in ads, $5k legal and maybe $5k accounting and you are still up $332k.
Are you getting most of your investors stateside or international?
Watching you with great interest, and hopeful for your success! (I awarded your first ever merit point on BitcoinTalk!)
