We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on April 15, 2012.

Hello & Thank You ... End of Week 1!

Update #1 · Mar 23, 2012 · comment

Hello!

For those of you we don’t know, our names are Gwen and Eliza. We are incredibly, crazily grateful for your early, enthusiastic support of The Sill.

We promise not to inundate you with updates (we'll keep it to about once a week, or when something REALLY exciting happens), but thought reaching 50% of our goal after just one week deserved a quick note to say thank you, thank you, thank you! 

Of course, we still have a ways to go. $5948 to be exact ... but we know that with your support and help, we will reach our goal and our vision for The Sill will come to life! Many of you have already shared our project with friends and family, but if you haven't, PLEASE DO. We must reach our full goal or we won't receive any of the pledged donations. Even donations of $1 truly make a difference.

This week we were honored to be featured on the Gotham Gal blog: http://www.gothamgal.com/gotham_gal/2012/03/the-sill.html. Joanne Wilson is a huge supporter of women entrepreneurs, and we're extremely thankful for her encouragement and guidance. Make sure to follow Gotham Gal's posts - we do! :)

We've gotten lots of great feedback about what we're doing thus far, and we'd love to hear from all of you more. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, please let us know.

THANK YOU! - Gwen & Eliza
