Looks great! So you're selling (up to) 5% coupon clean energy bonds? How is that working out, are you getting a lot of interest from people?

I haven't done too bad investing and have a few ideas myself for a fintech business (there are some opportunities relating to tax deductible pension investments in my home market) yet wonder whether, say, a 5% yield is sufficient for the average person to even bother taking a risk.

Second, if you don't mind, how's profitability? I assume it does need massive scale for the math to work out? How is sourcing users / are advertising fees working out, in terms of cost?

Hey, not to butt in, but would it be possible to get in on the email discussion? Very curious about all of the above questions as well. No worries if not :)
