Q: Why should I trust you?
A: I am Terry Woltman, all relevant contact information is provided in the prospectus. I have been verified via Havelock Investments and Seedcoin, and am active in the Bitcoin community in Mexico City and the US.
Find me on LinkedIn at:
http://linkedin.com/in/terrywoltmanAs well, Mike Snyder has recently joined the company and brings extensive technology related sales and operations experience.
Q: What manufacturer relationships do you have?
A: Ignite Financing has working relationships with Robocoin, Genesis Coin, BitAccess, bitXatm, and Lamassu. We are constantly working to bring additional manufacturers on-board.
Q: Are you qualified of running the BTM Fund?
A: Terry’s background is in network engineering and operations for national telcom providers in the US. Roles included 24x7 Network Operations leadership, Vendor management and negotiation, budgeting, project management, and stakeholder reporting. As well, I have extensive experience overseeing financial back-office projects, B2B sales, consulting, and entrepreneurship. Finally, we have some excellent advisers to fill in any missing pieces.
Q: Why don't you raise money from angels, venture capital, or traditional lending?
A: We have raised Angel funds from private investors for Ignite Financing direct business operations. Our BTM Fund model allows Havelockinvestment.com qualified investors to participate in “fractional ownership” of many Bitcoin ATMs, increasing returns and reducing individual risk. This model is similar to purchasing Hash Shares from an organization like PetaMine (PETA), where you own a percentage of their hash capability, rather than buying an ASIC miner individually.
Q: How many BTM units will the initial raise fund?
A: We expect we will be able to purchase a minimum of 12 machines, but this depends on several variables, such as: manufacturer and options ordered. Depending on volume discounts from manufacturers, we could end up with more units in inventory.
Q: What reinvestment provisions does the Fund have?
A: The Fund does not reserve any revenue back for reinvestment, meaning that the total asset value of the fund will slowly draw down until all leases have been completed and the remaining assets liquidated. In the method the Fund acts as a loan with a variable rate dividend until completed. Investors are free to reinvest their returns in future releases or funds.
Q: What are the benefits to fractional ownership in the inventory?
A: The Fund expects healthy quarterly returns, so we believe that BTM would be an excellent to any investor’s portfolio, especially with the recent stability in Bitcoin price. Bitcoin ATMs allow immediate and physical access, so you will be helping to increase direct access to Bitcoin globally through BTM proliferation.
Q: What is your fundraising target? How do you decide whether this funding succeeds or not?
A: The target raise is 270 BTC. However, we would like to raise more (200-500 BTC) to fill even more of our outstanding orders. We could opt to continue raising via this fund, or via additional separate funds.
Q: So you will sell additional shares at some time?
A: That is the plan. Any additional shares released to the public beyond this initial raise will be for additional inventory for additional revenue streams, and will not detract from per share dividends over the course of the fund.
Q: Why don't you use Ignite Finance for your ticker?
A: Ignite Financing is separate from the BTM Fund, and is only providing management of the inventory for the fund in this case.
