Are you a current or prospective investor in Kleiner Device Labs? Do you have a question about the offering?

Below is a list of the most common questions investors ask. You can also view the Home Bistro offering page here

What is Home Bistro?

Home Bistro is the #1 gourmet meal delivery service that enables celebrity chefs to launch food product brands. The company is backed by celebrities like Iron Chef Cat Cora, Ayesha Curry, Chef Roble Ali, Richard Blais, Daina Falk, and Claudia Sandoval.

It has also been named the “Best Gourmet Meal Delivery Service” by Forbes and one of the “Best at-Home Meal Delivery Services of 2022” by the New York Post.


When is Home Bistro going public? What kind of returns should I expect to receive?

Home Bistro is already a publicly traded company and trades under the ticker HBIS on the OTC .

Despite the company being publicly traded, this offering should still be considered high risk. Companies seeking capital through Regulation A+ offerings tend to be in earlier stages of development and have not yet been fully tested in the public marketplace.

There is the potential for loss of some, or all, of the principal invested.

There is also a lack of liquidity since there is no secondary market for these securities, there may be holding period requirements, and investors should have a tolerance for a long-term investment time horizon.

These securities are not FDIC insured and have no bank guarantee.


How do I deposit my Home Bistro shares?

Please read our step-by-step guide How to Deposit Your Home Bistro Shares here.


What is the minimum investment?

$501 (or 668 units).


Can I invest with my IRA?

As long as you have a Self-Directed IRA, you can invest using your retirement funds on the Equifund platform.


Do you accept Non-US investors in this offering?

Yes, Home Bistro is accepting investments from both US and international investors.

However, international investors will need to go through additional identity verification before their investment can be complete.

Please be prepared to submit a government issued identification and proof of address after signing your subscription agreement.

When you are asked to enter your Tax Identification Number (TIN), please enter whichever number you use to file your tax returns in your country of residence.

If you currently live in the US, but are not a US citizen, please enter whatever number you use to file your US tax returns.


Why do you ask for my social security number?

In order to process your investment, we are required – by law – to follow all “Know Your Customer” (KYC) and “Anti-Money Laundering” (AML) compliance protocols.

In order to verify your identity, we have to collect a variety of Personal Identification Information (PII); this includes things like your social security number, driver’s license, passport, proof of address, and other documentation.


Why do you charge a $24 transaction fee?

In order to process your investment, we are required – by law – to follow all “Know Your Customer” (KYC) and “Anti-Money Laundering” (AML) compliance protocols.

For the purposes of this verification process, Equifund charges a non-refundable $24 transaction fee to cover the baseline costs associated with KYC/AML.

We understand this $24 fee might be inconvenient for smaller-dollar investors to pay versus a percentage-based fee. However, a percentage-based fee unfairly penalizes larger investors.

We refuse to turn our compliance fees into profit centers, and instead choose to be transparent about the true cost of compliance we bear and ask the investor for their understanding in the matter.


What forms of payment do you take?

The investor may remit payment for shares via ACH, Wire, or by mail via check/money order. Please be advised that different payment methods take different amounts of time to clear.

  • Wires — 24 hours (one business day) following receipt of funds;
    • WARNING for International Investors: you may be subject to additional wire fees. Before sending money via wire, please check with your bank to see if you will be charged an additional “Intermediary Fee”
  • Checks — 10 days following deposit of funds to the Escrow Account;
  • ACH — 10 days following receipt of funds;
  • Credit and Debit Cards – 24 hours (one business day) following receipt of funds. We DO NOT accept Discover or American Express. We DO NOT accept any credit cards that have any association with cryptocurrencies.

Please be advised that this could have an impact on when your Subscription Agreement can be executed and your shares issued.


Why am I getting an error code when I use my credit card?

If you are paying for your investment via credit card, you may get a “Do Not Honor” error code when you try to submit your payment details.

This is not a problem with the Equifund system. This is a restriction your credit card company has put on your account.

You can either call your credit card company and explain that you are making an investment via an equity crowdfunding portal and ask them to remove the restriction…

Or, you can pay with a different form of payment.


Where do I view my investment once it’s been complete?

All of your investments on the Equifund platform are located in the “My Investments” tab, which you can find by clicking here.


Why isn’t my investment showing up in my dashboard?

Please email [email protected] if one of your investments is not displaying in your dashboard.


Why does it say my investment cannot be processed in the My Investments dashboard?

As a regulated portal, Equifund must undertake identity verification and anti-money laundering checks on each investor and investment.

If you see this error notification, please contact [email protected] so we can complete the identity verification process.


Why is my investment showing “Funds Not Received” but money has been withdrawn from my bank account or charged to my credit card?

In certain cases, it can take up to 10 days for funds to arrive in escrow. Once funds have been “cleared,” your funding status will be updated.

If after 10 days there is still a problem, please contact [email protected] for further assistance.


Do I get physical stock certificates?

No. You will not get physical stock certificates as part of this offering.


What happens if I need to change any information on my subscription agreement?

If you find an error in your subscription agreement BEFORE the shares have been issued, please contact [email protected] to make corrections.

If you need to change any information AFTER the shares have been issued, you will need to contact the transfer agent, the Nevada Agency and Trust Company (NATCO).

Here is the transfer agent’s contact information: [email protected]
