FAQs
 
Q: Can anyone receive this package?
A: No. You must be prescreened and qualify.
 
Q: What are the requirements to qualify?

Q: Why does AGD offer this package?

A: We know there are a lot of great ideas out there and people have inadequate ways of showing them. People have a million dollar idea, and we give them the competitive advantage by helping them look like a million bucks, so they can get funding for a million (or whatever investment amount they are targeting). By offering this package, startup companies can get a jump-start on their business and be well equipted to impress potential investors by looking professional and having all the tools for the "WOW" effect.  It’s one thing to tell an investor about an idea, and another to show them; and we’ll make sure they are blown away by the designs.
 
Q: Why does AGD require the $7,500 deposit?

A: All investors want to see that the founder spent some of their own money on their concept, we do as well. We want to make sure the company we invest our time in is serious and has ‘skin in the game’ and a vested interest to push the company forward.
 
Q: Why is there a $500/mo fee?

A: This is your repayment to us for our upfront investment into your company. We are investing well over 150 hours into your company upfront and are taking on risk. The $500/mo payment is a way we, as an investor, mitigate that risk and ensues we don’t have total loss. This also creates the motivation to push forward in seeking funding, rather than sitting idle.
 
Q: Are the terms negotiable? 

A: We evaluate every company independently of one another.  This is something we address on a case-by-case basis.
 
Q: What are the terms for the work you provide? 

A: We provide our standard terms sheet prior to executing a contract and agreement.
 
Q: Why do you invest all this time upfront and take on this risk?

A: We invest this time upfront and do everything we can to get your business funded. We have a vested interest in your company, and when you get funded, we get paid out in full. Chances are, that when you get funded, you’ll use us to complete the UI/UX and develop your full online product or application. As you grow, we grow with you and have the full scalability to support all of your marketing needs as well.
 
Q: Why don’t you invest money instead of time?

A: We’ve worked with a lot of startups and know what it takes to get funded. If an investor can visualize what your product will look like, you’re a step ahead. This is the best way we can ensure our investment is spent on delivering high quality material, taking the guessing away from the investors. Several of our clients have been funded and our designs were carried through to the final production.
 
Q: Do you have examples of Start-up Companies you've worked with?
