i don't have a tequila brand in my portfolio,i don't drink tequila,however, i know many do. i was wondering a few things what would you say makes you different than the other companies. i see your financials even though you made not bad revenue you were left with next to nothing profit wise. your cogs and short term debt wiped you out. your assets were pretty much keeping you afloat. like a few companies i invested in with beverages etc we have affiliate, ambassador etc programs a couple we weren't doing it until i suggested it and now he have hundreds of ambassadors etc which helped us tremendously revenue wise etc. would you do something like that. your cogs from a percentage of your revenue, 58 percent not good but not bad either especially compared to other companies i have seen 90 percent plus then they wonder why they are losing alot. your short term debt how are you on that getting that down any? hate for you to be what looks like a good company and either lose money or make very little which is not good for investors. thanks for your time.

Hello again,
I checked my email this morning and it said that the campaign had an “Update from Yeyo Tequila.” I clicked on the email and then decided to go to the StartEngine app. I went to the “Press & Updates,” and was pleasantly surprised by that update.
My question: Is it possible to get a section similar to this on the website? I’m not a big fan of the “press” section on the website as it feels clunky and no one wants to click through 8 different pages. It’s very cool that you can go to the StartEngine page and see these updates in a scrolling manner and I think the website could also benefit from this. I know the first page will change when this campaign ends, which is why people are pushed more to the StartEngine platform, but I’m also excited to see how the website will be re-done once the campaign is over to keep people on the website more and to make it stick out more.

HOW INVESTING WORKS
Cancel anytime before 48 hours before a rolling close or the offering end date.
WHY STARTENGINE?
REWARDS

SECURE

DIVERSE INVESTMENTS
Invest in over 200 start-ups and collectibles!
With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
