Chief Technical Officer and Lead Developer announcement in the coming days! 

[Max Likelihood]

I just stumbled across your project by chance. I am a health scientist with over 15 years of experience and see the issues with EMRs frequently impeding our ability to answer questions with data. A project with like would be quite helpful if it could succeed.

I have a graduate degree in biostatistics and am involved with a lot of statistical computing (modeling data to answer particular questions, in programming languages dedicated to mathematical statistics). If you even encounter a need of that sort, I would be open to helping, just pm me. Regardless, good luck.

We're very excited about how helpful functional interoperability will be! We're still early in development but we'll have beta opportunities closer to 2019.

Surprised that this hidden gem is going under the radar, good stuff here.

Probably because we're not paying a team of people to run around screaming our name.

In rough numbers, how much have you raised thus far?  How has start engine been?  Worth the $25k + rake?

Have you had any questions about using your home address as your office address in your collateral?  I just wonder because it looks like a nice home, and I wonder if it's been a net positive or if it is throwing red flags?

Either way, I wish you the very best of luck!!

We've raised over $400,000 so far from about 450 investors.

StartEngine has been 'okay'. They've been promising we would be able to accept cryptocurrency investments since Early December, but still have not made good on that promise. There's been a few other oddities, but their 5-8% take is a necessary evil with this sort of raise, as a Title III offering must be through a 'Funding Portal'. The limitation on advertising on a 'Regulation CF' offering, coupled with strict KYC and only fiat investments has also caused some irritation not usually seen encountered in ICO's avoiding US regulation.

We're currently looking for suitable office space in the Greater Denver area; My co-founders home is listed as the current office address, he is the also CEO of Zynex Medical, a publicly traded Medical Device company(ticker:ZYXI), so I don't think it should cause any red flags.

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!)

StartEngine is getting 6-8% of the raise for KYC/AML, that means they are already receiving 30k+.

Not using their ad company, we started using them before they marketed any such thing. I'm trying to be very engaging on Social Media but it gets hard with the limits on 'term' language.

Legal is already way (way) above that, but those numbers will all be part of our disclosures. 99% stateside investors so far.

Thanks so much for your interest and the merit!

Be careful not to double post (create two posts in a row).  Some MODS get pissed when they see it and will ding your profile.

So, what docs does someone get if they invest?  Whitepaper?  Subscription agreement?  Offering circular?  Deck?

Or do they just watch an explainer video and swipe their card?  Why can't you take crypto instead of fiat?  When will this change?

Can you still run Facebook ads?  I heard they banned all crypto related adverts, same as twitter and google.

No trouble yet, hopefully none will come about!

StartEngine is acting as the Electronic/Stock Transfer Agent on our behalf. But due to the nature of a Regulation CF offering I can't discuss the 'terms' of the offering, which may broadly include what someone 'gets' when investing. We do have a Pitch Deck available, and our Form C filed with the SEC includes the subscription agreement.

Surprisingly few people have watched the video; but that might have to do with StartEngines layout.

The reason we can't accept cryptocurrency is entirely because StartEngine has so far refused to make it available for Regulation CF offerings despite offering it for Regulation D 506(c) and Regulation A+ offerings. If I had to make a guess as to their reason it has to do with the wording in the JOBS Act requiring a specific kind of 3rd party escrow account for the offering. At this time I'm not entirely sure when it will become available, if at all, which is extremely frustrating for us.

We've been able to run Facebook ads after contacting Facebook and supplying them with our Form C offering documentation filed with the SEC. (Proving we're a real company, with a regulated offering)

Ah.  Good to know, sounds like you’ve got a very proactive team.  I invested; though I wonder if the funds will clear prior to your anticipated close... looks like the funds take 10 days to clear SE’s automated clearinghouse and you might be closing in <5 days.

What happens if the timing is not aligned?  Also it took <3 min to invest... pretty quick.  I was also a bit surprised that the subscription docs weren’t sent by start engine or even linked to the payment page... maybe a bit TOO streamlined?

How long will you keep the offering open?  Until you hit the $1m+?

An interesting idea. Tell me when the work will be completed?
