Breadwinner

Greetings BackerKit Backers,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note and thank you SO much for your support during this campaign. We raised over 135% of our goal! 

It's been so fun getting to know you during the last couple of weeks, and I can't wait for you to get your hands on a Breadwinner.

Over the next week or two we'll finalize our pledges and I'll be sending a survey out to collect your addresses so we can get you one ASAP. It looks like we're going to easily hit our estimated delivery date of late-May, but I'll have some more updates about that soon.

In the mean time, please reach out if you've got any further questions or idea!

Thanks again,

Fred

If you've ever backed a crowd-funded project before, you know there's this inevitable, well, plateau, that happens when you hit the middle of the campaign.

We're in it now, and so I've been wondering if you might help us liven things up a bit?

You might have caught a couple pieces of lovely press we received over the last couple of weeks. First, The Spoon Wrote story about the community-oriented origins of Breadwinner:

There's also a good chance that if you discovered Breadwinner via this very nice (p)review Polygon wrote about us, but if you didn't see it, click on over here:

Finally, I wrote up a more substantial Reddit-influenced history of Breadwinner and all the nerdy details over there:

Here's my ask: if you're part of any sourdough communities, would you mind sharing one of the links above? I'm thinking like Facebook groups or BBS's where you've been learning your sourdough tips and tricks.

Your support and belief in this project means the world to me, and it would be such a huge boost if we got a little traction from the communities you're already a part of.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Fred
 

We're almost two thirds of the way to our goal and less than 36 hours into this campaign, and as Breadwinner's inventor and founder, I just wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU to everyone who has pledged so far.

It's been wonderful seeing so many familiar names in the list of backers – from our early beta test users to friends and family, your support means the world to us.

We are so excited to get these into your hands and have you part of the Breadwinner community – this is hopefully just the beginning of our humble IoT device, and I'm looking forward to getting to know each of you. 

So thanks again, and don't be a stranger – drop me a line at fred@breadwinner.life to say hi, or just leave a comment here!
