It’s time for our weekly check-in! Here’s a brief summary of what we did in just our very first week:

In terms of fundraising:

  • We raised over $3000 in our first 24 hours.
  • We surpassed our halfway mark of $5000 after four days.
  • We were a featured project on the indiegogo homepage.
  • In our first 7 days, we made over $6000—$6223 at this writing.
  • We have now received 88 discrete donations, or votes of confidence.

In other news, we:

  • Prepared some basic scripts those of us who need them can use to tell people about the project.
  • Started a FAQ section.
  • Created this tumblr, as well as our Facebook and Twitter accounts.
  • Gained 170 supporters on Facebook and 66 on Twitter.
  • Our youtube video has been viewed 1951 times.

Moving forward this week, we plan to:

  • Share more about our vision for this project and its scope.
  • Start a twitter campaign—follow us there and get ready to work some hashtags.
  • Give some interviews (and link to them here, obviously.)
  • See if we can make $10,000 dollars.
  • Put up some flyers for you all to print out and share around.
  • Stim in public.
