Ensures production
- The purpose of the campaign was to ensure we have enough capital to produce the first ten thousand units. This step is essential for us to keep growing as a company, Sæthre explains.
In the months since the campaign, we have directed our resources towards completing the device to the point where it is ready to begin testing. Before we produce the first thousand units and give them to eager testers, we will test the device ourselves internally in the company.
When we eventually localise and solve the most prominent glitches and errors, we will let our future users try it out and give us feedback. Before the trial period is over we will also begin presales.
