Hey, SlideBelts investors!
Welcome, officially, to the SlideBelts team! As a new investor in our company, we figured we'd start off with some great news. We're really excited to have received some pretty amazing honors so far this year:
-Inc 5000, Fastest Growing Companies for the second straight year (#570)
-Sac Biz Journal, Fastest Growing Companies (#4)
-Sac Biz Journal, Best Places to Work (#1 for small companies)
-Fortune Magazine, Best Workplaces for small companies (#9)
-Fortune Magazine, Best Retail Workplaces (rank not yet known)
-Sac Biz Journal, 40 Under 40 list for SlideBelts CEO Brig Taylor
-Outside Magazine, Best Places to Work (rank not yet known)
Now onto the business: since the end of the campaign, the team at StartEngine has been working tirelessly to sort out the 1,000+ investments. Thanks to you, our campaign was an overwhelming success and there were many over-subscriptions, which means that there was a lot for the StartEngine team to sort through. This tedious work includes reaching out to investors to complete their investment, waiting for investments to clear, and then refunding the over-subscribed investments.
The long wait time is due to compliance and SEC regulations, which says that StartEngine cannot finalize wiring funds raised from the campaign until all the investments have cleared and the over-subscriptions have been refunded, but the good news is that everything has now been finalized.
Your investment/ownership will be “evidenced” by way of an “electronically counter-signed subscription agreement” that will be sent back to you from StartEngine which all investors should have received by now. However, if for some reason you still have not received it, please notify StartEngine at contact@StartEngine.com and they will take care of you. For those of you who would like an actual stock certificate, you can receive one separately by contacting StartEngine and requesting one.
Ongoing ownership records will be kept by the StartEngine Secure Services group at StartEngine (formerly known as CrowdManage), so if you lose your email you can always reach out to them directly. Please email contact@StartEngine.com with any questions about your investment and/or any changes or updates to your contact information to their team to keep the process moving and to ensure that all information is current.
We're rolling out some exciting features to keep investors in the loop with all things SlideBelts. In addition to keeping up to date with our team via our daily company blog {https://www.slidebelts.com/blogs/blog} and our monthly Vlog {https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WelqIVzeu7o}, we will be sending out a video each month with highlights from our all-hands meeting to keep you apprised of everything going on across departments on a monthly basis. We also intend to share some financial info intermittently throughout the year before we release our annual audited financials in March for the previous fiscal year.
Again, many thanks to each of you for your support and your patience through this exciting time!
*Note: This will be the last public update. From now on, updates will only go to finalized investors.
