Company Description

Gides is a social publishing platform that enables anyone to create, edit, and share website-quality content from their phone. We marry speed and simplicity with advanced functionality. Flexible, feature-rich posts are as quick and easy to make as sending a text message, and can easily be paired with powerful eCommerce functions. Our mission is to give everyone on earth with a phone the same opportunities as a web professional with a desktop.Gides hopes (but not guarantees) to usher in the next generational shift in content creation and sharing, transforming the internet from a collection of language, location, and affluence-based fiefdoms into a true seamless web of information, knowledge, and opportunity. People of all nations and backgrounds will be able to share or search for any type of information regardless of what language they speak. All people will have the ability to harness the technical and income potential of the internet equally.Given the Company’s limited operating history, the Company cannot reliably estimate how much revenue it will receive in the future, if any.

Valuation

Security Description

A SAFE is an agreement between you—the investor—and the company in which the company promises to give you a future equity stake based on the amount you invested. It also involves some kind of a triggering event that must take place in order for you to get your future equity stake. Be careful as you may only get equity if a particular event is triggered.
