Stretch Goal Announced!!
almost 8 years ago – Mon, May 21, 2018 at 09:50:41 PM

Hello Backers!

We are excited to share that we just announced a Stretch Goal! 

We have almost reached $19K in funding! Thank you for your valued support, interest and exciting ideas. After bringing everyone's stretch goal ideas to the drawing table, we are extremely excited to announce our first stretch goal!

Once we have hit $25K in funding we will be bring to you guys The Great Bungee, a wonderful addition to everything we already offer with UpCart City.

The Great Bungee Cord uses an alternative fastening system that replaces the role of the fixed length bungee cord to enable you to adjust it to a suitable length and tension. Simply secure both ends around your cargo and to the frame of the UpCart. Then adjust the length, and tension, of the cord by pulling the end of the cord through the self-locking clip.

The Great Bungee Cord includes a gate on each hook to prevent the hook from accidentally releasing from the object. It uses a simple to use fastening system to adjust the length of the bungee to avoid over tensioning.

We are super excited to offer this to all of you, help us get to $25K and you can each have your very own! Please continue to share with your friends and family:

Hi Everyone,

I would like to begin by wishing all the mom's out there a very Happy Mother's Day!! 

I truly appreciate all the support from each and every one of you! If not for you and all the amazing backers who love to support entrepreneurs and their ideas, we would not get to invent new products and try to make a difference in people's lives. Our mission at UpCart  has always been to help improve mobility and independence for people. With your help, we are able to continue on that journey.  

If you wouldn't mind, I would like to get any feedback from you guys to help improve the campaign page so we can make the most of the next 18 days. I would greatly appreciate any feedback you can give me via private message on the following things:

1. Video - Any thoughts? Good, bad? Too long? Boring? Just right? Please know that you won't hurt my feelings by giving honest feedback! It will only help me :)

2. Campaign page layout - Is it ok? Anything you think should be different?

3. What attracted you to this project? What do you like/dislike about the product from what you have seen?

Please don't feel obligated to answer anything! We would just love having you involved and please know that you have the power to help me make this one powerful campaign as we move forward!

Special Thanks to Nick & Laurie who believed in us enough 3.5 years ago be our Angels - without your support none the past few years would have been possible. 

Check out this awesome invention by our friend in Ohio. We just ordered one to test with the UpCart. It would definitely be easier pulling it over long distances using your torso rather than your arm. Nice tool while shopping in the city. Check it out: The RetraStrap

And one more item of note, we are excited to be featured on BackerClub.co this week! They are the top community for people who are very serious about Kickstarter and we are really looking forward to the feedback and support from their community of super-backers!

Here are some campaigns that we LOVE:

Our Friends at Spindle created an Almost Indestructible Coat thats Natural and Sustainable. They added some awesome colors. They still have a few of 50% OFF Specials Available, check it out: An Almost Indestructible Wool Coat

Nemo, Ultra High-Definition 4K Underwater Drone. Dive deep with Nemo down to 100 meters (328ft). Explore the underwater world with an ultra stable VR view & a UHD 4K 30FPS camera. Check it out: Nemo, Ultra High Definition 4k Underwater Drone.

Hi everyone! It seems that the campaign is going the right direction! We're up to 72% at the end of our first week! 

We are close to the finish line now, just need a final push to get us over the line.

In the mean time, we're hard at work:

- We are right on schedule. Tooling is done and we've produced real product samples for testing! We should be all set to start manufacturing as soon as this campaign ends.

- We are working with our bag manufacturer to put the finishing touches on the bag. The design/look is set and will look just like in the pictures and video. We want to make sure we have a secure fit and the straps that secure the bag to the cart are positioned well and easy to secure and/or remove. 

Please don't forget to keep sharing the UpCart City with your friends, loved ones and anyone you want to help lighten their load, one stair at a time!

Thank you again for your pledges and support!

-The entire team at UpCart

THANK YOU - 1/3 of the way there!!
