Do investors have to reside in the US? If so, please state this clearly on your sign-up page rather than ambiguously (by only allowing the input of US addresses).

Unfortunately for now you do have to be a US resident due to SEC regulations.

I'll definitely add something to make that clear. Thanks for the suggestion!

Great. This is a really cool idea and I hope you get enough traction in the US to eventually be able to move into other jurisdictions.

Thanks!

We hope so too!

I don't know what I'm talking about, but it may be possible for Canadian and Mexican investors to participate due to NAFTA. I understand there's something in there about investment.

Something to look into anyway.

That would be awesome!

I'll definitely have the more legalese fluent members of our team check it out.

Cool. I fully expect that their response will be "haha that a-priori dude is an idiot".

Seconded. It’s getting to the point where I just assume any website of this nature is US-only, since so few actually mention this clearly up-front.
