Hello Backers,

We've had to make an exceptionally difficult decision today. We have been unable to secure the further funding we needed to guarantee the production and delivery of Gest. Today we will begin issuing full refunds to all backers who haven't received their reward. You should expect to receive your refund within the next two weeks.

We can't thank you enough for believing in us and in our vision. From our humble beginnings at a hackathon in 2013 to the amazing support we received from you, our backers, this has been an incredibly wild ride and an amazing learning experience for all of us.

Sincerely, 
The Gest team

Hey Backers!

We had a great time pitching at Austin's Best Hardware Startups @ SXSW. Gest is participating in the Hatch pitch contest and we could use your help! If you're in the US, text the word "GestSocial" to 63566 to vote for us!

We're one of 13 finalists selected from hundreds of early stage tech startups hailing from 20 countries and 34 states across the U.S.

HATCH Pitch is one of the most popular pitch competitions held once a year in Austin Texas, attracting hundreds of entrepreneurs and investors. The final pitches will be given on Sunday, March 13 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Ballet Austin in Downtown Austin.

You can register to attend the event at www.hatchpitch.com. If you can’t attend but want to follow what’s going on during the Event Day, follow us on Twitter @trygest or @HATCHpitch.

Hope to see you there!
