Challenge: How to make it affordable? (continued)
Challenge: User Experience
“We underestimate the role that friction plays in supply/demand.Consumption is often far more limited by experience than price.”
Solution: Offset the learning curve by making it an educational experience.

Kickstarter tips/lessons• Predict costs (duh)• Finalize supply chain before launching.• Make a Gantt chart (timeline) so your backers know you have a plan.• Don’t open the flood gates. Limit pledges.
Thank You
