We wanted to take care of people that invested in the business before we took any money. I guess we didn't technically have to pay them back but it was a friends and family round and it was the best thing to do.

Well our business model was that we charged coffee shops 8% of each transaction that went through the platform. 4.4% of that when to Stripe processing fees. so profit was 3.6% of each transaction.
