\n

Welcome to BackerKit’s High-Five Interview where we ask creators 5 questions revolving around their projects, inspirations, and overall crowdfunding journey.<\/em><\/p>\n

We discovered Lovebox at a recent hardware meet up hosted by Kickstarter<\/a> and really enjoyed this fun and unique way to send digital love messages. We spent some time with co-creator Marie Poulle to learn more about Lovebox which is\u00a0currently live on Kickstarter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why Crowdfunding?<\/strong>
\nCrowdfunding has been a part of the project since the very beginning. When I met Jean and his Lovebox, the first thing he told me was: “Many people who met the Lovebox asked me if they could buy one, I’ll do a Kickstarter campaign to spread Loveboxes around the world!”. Two years later we finally did it!<\/p>\n

Since the very beginning, we have been gathering all Lovebox fans through our Facebook page and mailing lists. We met so many amazing people who wanted to share more love and happiness with their loved ones. We though that a crowdfunding campaign would be the best way to get the Lovebox to people in Europe, US, and Canada. And we even received messages from people in Australia and Singapore who wanted to support the project. The Kickstarter platform\u00a0is a powerful tool that can help us spread our Lovebox to the entire world!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the coolest crowdfunding project you\u2019ve ever seen? (Besides your own of course)
\n<\/strong>I recently pledged to a project that wanted to launch a decorative satellite in the sky called Orbital Reflector<\/a>! An artist\u00a0will launch the first satellite to exist purely as an artistic gesture and\u00a0I love the idea that people from everywhere in the world will point to it with their fingers and try to know which star it is!<\/p>\n

How did you learn about Backerkit?<\/strong>
\nA lot of friends who used Kickstarter told us about the very tough phase after the Kickstarter campaign where you have to take care of organizing the backers info and how complicated it can be. And actually, we kind of lived this situation last Christmas when we had to deliver 500 Lovebox units with only an Excel spreadsheet to gather information. We knew we had to find a better solution! So we asked Google and your name came out of its mouth.<\/p>\n

Do you have any hobbies and\/or collect anything?<\/strong>
\nI collect smiles. Everyday I play a little game which makes me feel happy. I smile to people while walking in the streets and i’ve got one goal: collect as many smiles as I can! I love to see the eyes of a person\u00a0fill with joy and happiness just because a stranger smiled at them. A few seconds of free happiness!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next? Any upcoming projects you want to share?<\/strong>
\nFirst, we will ship the Loveboxes ordered through Kickstarter! The first 3500 of them will be delivered for Christmas. We can’t wait until December 24th so we can imagine all the Loveboxes under Christmas trees!<\/p>\n

We are also working on a new version of the product. The Lovebox could be used in so many more ways and for so many different kinds of relationships. We have thousands of ideas in mind! And we also have new products in mind, we want to build a network of\u00a0communication devices\u00a0dedicated to\u00a0positive emotions. We are building the Internet of Feelings. And we should unveil a new product every year starting next year!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

BONUS ROUND!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What inspired you to create the Lovebox?<\/strong>
\nJean invented and built the first Lovebox for his fianc\u00e9e M\u00e9lodie two years ago in France. He was about to leave for a year to get his Post-Doc at MIT in Boston.\u00a0He wanted a special way of communicating his love with her, so he invented and built a Lovebox. He made it in a FabLab and gave it to her a few weeks before leaving.<\/p>\n

I met Jean\u00a010 days before he left to Boston, while he was exhibiting the Lovebox and a few other inventions of his own in the FabLab. I fell in love with the concept of Lovebox and thought of other relationships where the Lovebox could be useful! A few weeks later we started working together to spread the Lovebox everywhere and build the Internet of Feelings.<\/p>\n

What’s your favorite Lovebox feature?
\n<\/strong>My favorite feature is the ability to receive a notification saying “your love note has been read”. It happens all the time with my grandma for example, I send her a message in the afternoon and by night, when i’m going to bed I receive a “read-receipt” and I know that she just woke-up on the other side of the world!<\/p>\n
