UPDATE: Thanks Kickstarters for showing all the love for the olloclip. If you missed ordering your olloclip on Kickstarter, you can sign-up via the sidebar to the right and we'll notify you when you can pre-order your very own olloclip. We should have our webstore up and running in a couple of weeks, at which point you'll be able to order online; and of course you can also 'follow-us' on Facebook and Twitter. Below is the last update we did when funding closed, Monday, June 6th.
Copy of our Kickstarter Update: Well Kickstarters this has felt like the quickest 30 days I have ever experienced. Thanks to you, the Kickstarter Community, the olloclip is now a reality.Production has begun, initial production lots are getting 'dialed-in' and the excitement continues as we transition from concept to venture.
The beauty of the Kickstarter 'experience' is that it enables people like you and I to present a concept-project to the community at large, deeming it worthy or not. And when a project gets the 'thumbs-up', it's the entrepreneurial spirit that takes over and inspiration become perspiration as Thomas Edison would say. It's what makes this country and this community so incredible as inventors like myself can move from idea to business plan. And speak loudly you did:
Close to $70,000 funded to launch olloclip...
Top 40 Kickstarter projects ever funded. I'm humbled to be in such great company...
Over 1300 backers and close to 1500 pre-orders.
Over the next several weeks we will be putting the finishing touches on the olloclip in preparation of shipping our initial production units to you, our backer community. Once the initial units have been delivered, we will be rolling-out our online webstore where you'll be able to pre-order the olloclip for end of summer and the fall/holiday season.You will also be receiving a short survey from us over the next couple of days asking for your shipping information, lens color selections, etc.From this point forward, we will be working on our site olloclip.com and of course you can also 'follow-us' on Facebook and Twitter. We are eager to see the creative ways you'll be using the olloclip!
Thank you! Patrick and Chong PS It was fantastic meeting so many of you at the Apple WWDC Monday!
