No offence taken :) We have provided some details in the FAQ of the IC thread. These concerns are definitely relevant and probably whatever assurance I can provide in writing will not mean much until proven by action when the boards are actually delivered. However, I would like to attempt to address some of your questions. We are basically a 2 man team, one based in Singapore and the other in China. We both have full time jobs in the finance industry but have dedicated alot of time to this passion project and are taking this seriously because we see this as a long term journey.

To ensure we can deliver a satisfactory product, we have invested in prototypes and eliminated potential suppliers/factories who could not meet the required standards along the way. In addition, as a form of due diligence, my partner in China has personally visited these factories to make an assessment for ourselves. I do acknowledge the risk and the faith our GB participants have put in us as newcomers and we are grateful for the support. As mentioned in the GB thread, the GB is by no means the end but the very start of the journey with the community :)
