Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to send the latest infographic your way, "How Startup Funding Works." Some of you asked if we are still publishing the book. Yes, we are. You can see the progress, since we regularly publish new content from the book as I make it here fundersandfounders.com
It looks like we will be able to publish this year.
Keep in touch,
Anna

Dear Backers,
As our campaign as coming to a finish, we are sending you a HUGE THANK YOU for having the vision for this book. The good news is that we are still publishing it. The not-so-great news is that since this campaign did not get fully funded, we are going to do one of these 3 things:
1. Publish through a traditional publisher
2. Self-publish
3. Relaunch on Kickstarter (after we rework the campaign)
Keep in touch, and you can always see the newest infographics/pages from the book at fundersandfounders.com
THANK YOU!
Anna and Vlad
P.S. everyone will be getting refunds from Amazon Payments automatically. We'll let you know when you can pre-order the book in the next 2 weeks
Dear backers,
We keep on going and our newest infographic came out today. This infographic explains why you are all visionaries in recognizing the role of entrepreneurship today before many others.
On another note, a lot of backers asked what happens if the project does not reach the goal. We will still publish the book. Definitely. It will be later in the year though and perhaps with a few limitations. We really want to thank you all for supporting us, for translating the infographics, and volunteering your feedback. We could not do it without you. With that said, we still have 27 hours to go.
Hello Readers,
First, we are upgrading everyone's rewards who pledged for iFriend and more to include one more copy of the book in iBooks. If you haven't pledged for iFriend yet, pledge here
Only 10 days left, we are in the final stretch. Now it really matters that you share this project with people in your life. Here is a quick way to do it: http://fundersandfounders.com/book/
Thank for your support, and remember NEVER give up on becoming an entrepreneur.
Hi Backers,
What does an entrepreneur t-shirt look like? Like this - this t-shirt makes people look at you. While they look and test their eyesight you can tell them about your company or pitch your idea.
Making this t-shirt taught me a lot about finding creativity in things that most us don't even notice. Like the eye chart. I've seen it for years at the doctor's. Never thought much about it. Until one day, I looked at it and saw an infographic. That's how this t-shirt was born. Get it by selecting "AWESOME ADVOCATE" on the right, or any other pledge over $65. Or you can just PLEDGE HERE
Great news, yesterday we got picked up by the man - Richard Branson published our infographic "How to Never Give Up" on Virgin.
