Update #1: So Far, So GREAT!

Posted on July 1, 2010

Hey everyone!

Real quick, I wanted to thank you all for your pledges. We're moving along very well, and with out jinxing myself, I'm very confident we will reach our pledge goal. We are at over $700 (38% funded) already and oly 1/3 the way to our finish date, so THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

We are aiming to reach 50% funding by July 16th! -- it would be an awesome achievement and help keep us on pace to reach our ultimate goal.

So please let others know about this if you think they would be interested in contributing or help spread the word. A growing number of backers have found out about Master of Inventions through other people; word of mouth works!
