Wow! Where does all the time go. I was thinking the other day, that it has now been a little over a year since I first considered fundraising to get this business off the ground, and specifically to consider using Kickstarter. We are in the home stretch! The video is being edited this week, Eric and I worked on a press release that we will be pushing out to the media on launch day (September 27th), the animation of the logo for the video is almost done, and we are also working hard at getting the project page up and ready to go. One important thing we got out of the way that almost would have bitten us in the butt is Amazon Payments. In order to process payments for a Kickstarter project, you need to setup a business account with Amazon Payments (like Paypal, but Amazon’s version). Kickstarter warns you that you need at least 7 days to get your account approved and ready for use. We had a few issues getting the account up and running, but thankfully we are now good to go.
Additionally we are continuing to build our network to get the word out as far and fast as we can.
