We can tell you from our own experience giving talks in other spaces, that those who know how to invest are not interested in our solution, but those who are new to investing find it extremely useful! So this doesn’t surprise us at all.
Something that surprises us is that our EAGxBerlin talk is being framed solely as an ‘advertisement’. When we ensured that 95% of the content was purely educational, and only discussed our solution shortly at the end.
As mentioned above, we are keen to maximize for truth-seeking where possible, and have no issue with giving more attention to reasons people should NOT buy our product. In fact, this is why we have a pros and cons list above. The problem is that right now there are no guidelines on how a for-profit can engage in the EA community. We would be happy to adhere to them if these were made clear!
We appreciate your feedback on separating the “investing to give” and “offering our solutions”. We are just trying to put ourselves out there to see how the community responds, so we are learning as we go along how EA feels about us as an investment solution that is for-profit. So these thoughts are very helpful, thanks!
