A new stretch goal!

You’ve already unlocked the 4000-backer stretch goal (thank you!).

Now, thanks to the support of O’Reilly Media, we’re ready to share another one. O’Reilly is offering two special bonuses if we pass 4500 backers: 

• The first is copies of books from the Lean Series—a series that I curate whose authors apply Lean Startup to an array of business disciplines. (A full list of awesome books and authors is below.)
• The second is access to Safari, which includes over 30,000 books, video courses and conference talks on topics like leadership, design, core programming and more. 

 If we hit 4500 backers:

• Every backer will receive a digital copy of their choice of books from O’Reilly’s Lean Series, and 3 months of access to Safari (a $117 value). 

Plus, if we hit the stretch goal of 4500 backers, we will upgrade several of our existing rewards with access to Safari.

• Everyone who backed the “Developer’s Pack” or the “No brainer” pack gets a $500 credit on purchases of team accounts for 2+ users for 1 year of Safari access. 
• Everyone who backed a package designed for teams (such as the Two-Pizza Team package) will receive a $1000 credit on purchases of team accounts for 10+ users for 1 year of Safari. 
• Everyone who backed any of the Experiential packages ($2500 and above) will receive a 1-year subscription to Safari for you and up to 10 members of your team (a $3,990 value).

(*Offer good for new subscribers and as a credit on renewal for existing subscribers.) 

Upgrade Tuesday! (Please note: this one works a little differently from our last upgrade!)

Following the success of last week's Upgrade Friday, O’Reilly is making it possible for us to add another upgrade special. The first 50 people to increase their pledge to a higher-level reward (note: this is slightly different from last time) will get the complete 7-book set of the Lean Series PLUS one year of Safari access for their team. So if you’ve had your eye on upgrading your pledge to a higher-level reward, this is the time to do it!
