We met our stretch goal! Thanks for an amazing campaign, everyone.
almost 8 years ago – Wed, Jul 13, 2016 at 07:16:13 PM

What a crazy ride! Yesterday (the last full day of the campaign) was our most successful day ever, as we raised over $47k in pledges. Between midnight and 5:33AM (when our campaign ended) we raised another $25k—to push us right past our stretch goal of $600k.

We’re completely humbled at the Kickstarter community’s willingness to rally everyone together to help us meet our stretch goal. We want to thank every single one of you for the success of this whole campaign—whether it was sharing our project, commenting, pledging, or anything else that helped us bring this project from start to finish.

Next steps

Since we reached our $600k stretch goal, we’ll send out a survey soon regarding which smart platform you all would like Wynd to integrate with first. We can’t wait to see what you all think! In addition, we'll be sending out surveys for everyone to input their shipping information, color choices, and other order details.

The Kickstarter prices are gone forever, but you can still pre-order Wynd on our Indiegogo InDemand page. If you know anyone who didn't get a chance to order Wynd in our campaign please direct them there.

Thanks again everyone for an amazing Kickstarter campaign. We’ll be in touch soon and don't hesistate to reach out!

P.S. special shoutout to a project we like called Orbitkey 2.0. It’s like a swiss army knife but for keys. It looks like a really awesome way to organize all of your bulky, dangly keys into a super-streamlined little bundle. It includes bottle openers, USBs, and more.

 

You can get Orbitkey here.

We reached 2,500 backers!

We're all so happy here at Wynd—thank you for contributing to our mission! Our next stretch goal is hitting $600k, and if we get there, we'll build out some really cool functionality with Wynd and another smart platform (such as Echo, IFTTT, or HomeKit), so that Wynd can work like magic

There's 5 days left, so please share this campaign with your friends if you can! If you do, we'll also gift you a special little something:

Where we are with manufacturing

We’ve already started making molding tools (big steel parts that are used to create the matte enclosures and other mechanical parts of Wynd). Our first set of tools are set to be completed in a month, and we in line to start shipping at the end of November.

Here are some photos from our engineer Eric’s recent visits to our manufacturing and supplier facilities:

Glamour shots of Wynd black 

We didn’t originally display the black matte version of Wynd very much on our Kickstarter page. Here are some recent photos of it. To get Wynd in black, just pledge to get Wynd (if you haven't already), and we'll ask you which color you want after the campaign is over.

 

Fellow projects that we love

World's First True AI Personal Trainer, Vi

You've probably seen Vi on Kickstarter—they completely crushed their campaign funding goal and they're close to raising $1 million! Vi is a robot personal trainer that lives inside of really slick workout headphones. Vi is motivating, kind, and sometimes a little sassy! She'll motivate you to workout and guide you along the way, whether you're running, biking, or more. If you're looking for a personal trainer that never flakes on your running dates, check out Vi here.

Aer Travel Pack: The Ultimate Carry-on Backpack

If you hate fishing for your boarding pass while your headphones fall out of your pocket at the security line while your laptop gets smushed, you'll love the Aer Travel Pack, which looks like the best carry-on backpack ever. It has easy-to-reach compartments for electronics, shoes, jackets, water bottles, cables, snacks—everything you'd want to carry on a plane. You can pack the rest of your luggage in it, too, since a few outfits fit perfectly in there. Check out the project here.

Thanks for the support everyone - let's finish strong! :)
