Hey all,
It’s been really tough but I’m not walking away from this.
Fundraising
We are still fundraising for the production of the machine. This is necessary to produce machines. We are discussing seed investment and strategic opportunities. There has also been new momentum after the holiday period. We cannot share any further details about these discussions as they are confidential.
Product
There have been no further hardware iterations. The contract manufacturer will do some minor changes when we kick off production. We encountered firmware issues with one of the machines and will be addressing that as an update.
Shipping
There are two machines in San Francisco that we are hoping to send out within the bay area to backers. They need to be calibrated and tested before this happens.
Bar
To reiterate, no funds from Kickstarter were used for the bar. The bar has been a lifeline. It maybe able to fund production at some stage but that would need attention and some investment.
Next
The next significant date for us is the 31st January. There will be an update shortly after that date.
Finally
As many of you say it is black and white at the moment, we need funding to produce. There are a lot of people gunning for us and we appreciate the support, this buoys us through difficult times and will help drive us to a positive result.
Thanks as always,
Chris
