"The company is also planning to launch a crowdfunding campaign next week to support further development." Why would a CEO wait till the week after an article with this many readers to launch such a campaign? Surely he could have launched it before this article?
- stevewepay 11y agoMaybe because it's good marketing? If someone reads about it on the Washington Post, they're more apt to believe and contribute than someone who sees a random Kickstarter campaign with nothing but a Youtube video.
- orangeshark 11y agoI think the above poster is talking about how everyone will forget about it in a week. Better to have it started now where everyone can just contribute to the campaign after they read the article.
- nathancahill 11y agoI'm more curious why this needs to be crowdfunded at all? Seems like a venture where very few people would be able to understand the "Risks and Challenges". New, unproven and expensive/risky technologies aren't a great candidate for crowdfunding.
