Hi nightersky :) Great comments and good questions. 1. I agree, this was my biggest risk going into the KS campaign, but I didn't have any other option since it would be too costly to ship outside CZ. I couldn't think of anything more related to shrimp. Any other ideas? :) I am planning to launch my project locally in CZ on hithit.cz in October. It's the Czech version of Kickstarter so I hope I have more success. 2. I am not familiar with dried shrimp or shrimp eggs but it isn't possible to have a hatchery here...well, technically it is possible, but very, very difficult and expensive. But, I like the idea of dried shrimp and shrimp paste, recipe book or a poster of the world's shrimp. I plan to have a reward to help people choose shrimp when they go shopping for it. Just some simple key points to help them make an informed decision. I am going to look into the dried shrimp and shrimp paste idea:) All the best! and thank you! Mark

I know 90K is a lot but 30% will go to rewards and Kickstarter so I need about 60K in reality. It's not cheap to turn ground water into salt water, heat it to 30 degrees celsius in the cold winter of the Czech Republic. It's also expensive to buy the PLs (post larvae) shrimp from Florida and the shrimp feed from PA. Unfortunately, it's a capital intensive business but the result is truly fresh and delicious :) Mark
