BOOM! And we have lift off, backers!

FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU!

I was so busy getting out emails to partners and continue media outreach, I didn’t have time to keep tabs on the campaign in the first few hours. And then my phone went nuts with texts from friends:

FUNDED IN AN UNBELIEVABLE 3 HOURS!

Your overwhelming show of support is humbling and I can’t wait to start the design refinements and start plotting stretch goals and such.

The more backers we bring on board the less we’ll have to worry about other details so we are off to a great start. Please share with your crowds!

I will start to plan how we’ll coordinate prioritizing design refinements over the next few days. I’d love to hear suggestions on this front.

It’s been an exhilarating day one. Thanks for all the questions and thoughtful comments — keep ’em coming!

Thanks again for joining our adventure and helping us blast off on this mission together!

Godspeed & good night!
