*These experiences are exceptional and are not reflective of what an average customer may encounter using our program. We do not track and customers are not required to report what their experience is. Therefore, because we do not have data reflective of the average customer experience you should assume the average is ZERO and that typical customers are not able to raise any money for their fund using our program. You should not rely on these experiences to suggest what outcome you may have using our program. Further, raising capital through a fund is a method to finance your business aspirations. Raising capital does not mean your business will be successful or profitable.
