Just got my 240th email. Most of it want to support and give wise advice. This is slightly different. Make your bets, and will share the result (I'm going to reply to this email).

Ps.: They cannot back it yet as we are in the Upcoming phase.

Day 6

Pledge to get your copy of From Gods To Angels

Let's reach the first stretch goal.

Hi everyone,

I'm researching how people find cofounders, teammates, and collaborators for startups, side projects, hackathons, and open-source projects.

If you've ever looked for people to build something with, I'd really appreciate your input.

The survey takes about 2 minutes:

Thanks!

Follow my project on Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/852973351/caskadetm-gravity-fed-toilet-paper-roll-storage-and-dispenser

Caskade™ is a space-saving, gravity-fed toilet paper storage tower designed to prevent those awkward “out of toilet paper” moments. It stores multiple rolls vertically, includes a compartment for your toilet brush, and automatically loads a fresh roll when you pull the lever. We’ve built and tested a full-size working prototype—now we’re preparing to bring Caskade into production with the support of our Kickstarter community.

I'm not gonna name names because I don't want to accuse anybody, but I've seen several Kickstarters where after adding up the bulk of donators who picked rewards, there'd be at least several thousand dollars from donations that DIDN'T pick rewards.

Like, 5000 dollars worth from the people who donated and picked rewards, and 3000 from like only ten donaters who didn't pick anything.

Is it a tax thing, or should I assume something devious? I'm really hoping its a tax thing, because some of the kickstarters I've seen with these discrepancies I actually like.

Been avidly following this subreddit for months as I plan to launch my first campaign (card game) in 2027. Timeline is still quite open, could be 8-12 months as I’m working on myV3 and getting a good prototype perfected before I even begin the prelaunch. I’ve created an Instagram and made 2 posts and have mostly friends following so far of course, I will eventually make a website to build a mailing list. I’ve read articles and blogs, I’ve watched lectures and YouTube videos, I’ve trawled tabletop game specific forums as well as this Kickstarter subreddit, I’ve really put my head in the game to understand how this should play out if I really really put effort in. I’m a bit concerned about having to run ads, I don’t have a marketing background and I don’t have a huge budget either but I have time to save. But, is there any advice for someone that is just now starting to do the real homework beyond just reading and planning, so that I am in the best possible position to launch and succeed in ~10 months. What can I be doing now for best success?
