Kickstarter

We launched our Kickstarter campaign in October 2018. Our aim was to raise £7500 in three weeks to enable us to set up our business, create a website, print an initial stock of cards, create more designs in the coming year and send us to our first trade fair. At the end of the first day we were a third of the way there with 37 backers, and we hit our target a week later. By the end of the campaign, we had 240 backers pledging over £10,000. It was fantastic to know the idea resonated with so many people, and to have the beginnings of an Out of the Box fan base! 

A massive thank you to everyone who made a pledge in our Kickstarter campaign:
