To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Sherwood Moore and I am the Director of Marketing at thrdPlace.  thrdPlace is a collaboration tool that uses story and social sharing to allow anyone to raise funds, supplies, and volunteers for projects to improve their community. Together we are working to create a world where citizens, companies, and government can better work together to address issues in our shared communities from the ground up.  We are all committed to making our world a better place and we have a clear path to get there.  You can learn more about thrdPlace by visiting  www.thrdPlace.comnbsp; and/or watching our introductory video here: https://vimeo.com/90273076.

 

Your support would enable us to stabilize our product and operational team. Within 12 months of funding, thrdPlace will hire at least 3 full-time employees. Additionally, the 6 current employees would be brought up to full-time salary and benefits.  As a company, we would also invest heavily to stabilize our web product so as to offer greater scalability of services to more corporate clients.  

I encourage the SEC to finalize Title III rules.  As entrepreneurs, the worst answer we can receive is ‘maybe.’  ‘Maybe’ - a delayed response - does not enable me to plan how to grow my business.  There are too many urgent struggles within our communities to delay.  

Thank you! 

Sherwood
