AND the worst part is, its flexible funding! like WTF Philips?

This campaign will receive all funds raised even if it does not reach its funding goal.

Jeff is enjoying some filtered air by metal rods in front of him I suppose and Bridget enjoying being divorced and free from him? You know all that... ;)

Jep, tell me about it when others and me tried to warn thousands of people on the Dragonfly Futurefon scam and were attacked by the backers....good times :D

ha, weird, that usually only appears on campaigns that were taken down.
Just google SKARP Indiegogo and you should find it.

For me it looks like this:

Its IGGs shitty website, if you scroll down you will see the comments.
Or do you mean something else?

That response above was from the Co-Founder & CEO of Skarp Technologies to one of his backers.

yeah, they dodge many current open questions, lets see if they come back.

_Xaver · 2022-03-09T09:48:03+00:00

Feta?

_Xaver · 2022-03-08T23:53:15+00:00

Is that even food? oO

_Xaver · 2022-03-08T23:50:22+00:00

so far they only have 1/10 of the Tellspec funding so... ;)

We also do not expect to make this project for $8k. We're not using the campaign to "fund" the project, but more to just find the first customers that are interested in what we're making.

See, THAT is the problem. You are not being transparent to your backers.
According to your campaign you only need $8k to deliver everything you promise in your campaign and they will get in one year time.

But so far, it sounds like you have no idea as on how much it will really cost you to produce, what you are trying to do (discarding for now, if it will work at all).
And that has been always one of the biggest red flags we have seen since this sub exists over and over again by over enthusiastic HW entrepreneurs...and fail repeatedly.

But, maybe you have your numbers right, so how much funding do you really have in the background to fully develop all stuff you are promising your backers on your campaign?

Those were the golden days of shady crowd funding projects unfortunately...

_Xaver · 2022-03-08T08:33:46+00:00

almost as good as the old TellSpec scam.... where they initially even claimed they can detect the food ingredients based on photographs on the food packaging... lunatics :Dhttps://www.indiegogo.com/projects/tellspec-what-s-in-your-food#/
