What It Feels Like Running A Kickstarter Campaign

If you want to know what it feels like to launch a Kickstarter campaign, I think the full on Kermit arm flail gif sums it up, pretty well. In all seriousness, it's been a rush. I mean, how else can you describing taking months of work and then asking the world if anyone likes it.

For the first few days, I was basically glued to my computer screen, watching for notifications from Kickstarter that people donated to the campaign. I was one big nervous ball of energy. And sleeping a full 8 hours a night? Ha!

People outside my immediate social circle started donating to the campaign and I started getting some media coverage and I thought, "Maybe I'm not completely crazy after all." I got coverage in Wired, ABC, The Boston Globe, The Awesomer, BostInno, GeoBeats, Trendhunter, Foodbeast, Nerdalicious, and a radio interview on 740 The Game.

Getting emails and phones calls from media made kinda feels like being a mini-celebrity for a moment. The Boston Globe even sent over a photographer to get pictures for their article!

The connection with Kickstarter backers has probably been one of the highlights of the experience so far. Robert Haleluk, cookie dunking aficionado and the inventor who ran the successful Kickstarter for The Dipr even reached out to us as well. Here's cheering for us, which I think is pretty cool. If he hadn't seen the campaign on Kickstarter, I'm not sure we ever would have met.

I'm sure when things wind down, I'll have more to post and will try to organize my thoughts into a more coherent fashion than what I've written here, but in the mean time... KERMIT ARM FLAIL!
