Hi there, thanks for your comment. Kickstarter is an extremely useful way to accelerate the development of Quell for a few key reasons. It lets us manufacture and ship at scale, guaranteeing our backers the lowest price possible. Kickstarter also enables us to move faster towards bigger stretch goals. We can use it to ensure that we are building something that people actually want, which gives them a voice in shaping the product and demonstrates to other sources of funding that there is real demand for it. Of course, it also comes with the responsibility to really deliver on our promises or make good with our backers, no ifs or buts, and we take this very seriously.
