<p>Niall,</p>
<p> Basically I think Kickstarter should be used to "kick start" a business, I don't think it's a good business model for long term business use. My intent is that I won't need to do another kickstarter, I have other module designs in the wings, but with the money I make from this and the WTF sales I should now be self funding.</p>
<p> Running a kickstarter campaign is a lot of work, I mean 2 hours a day, every day, minimum. Then there's all the shipping (packaging and shipping 60+ boxes in one go is very stressful and fraught with potential problems). I'd much rather focus on new product design than 'marketing' which is what 90% of kickstarter is about.</p>

<div>I'm curious about your assertion that this is your second and last Kickstarter-backed project, and wonder if you'd elaborate here. Could you please share your thoughts about the model?</div>

<div>I ask because Paul Schreiber seems to like it (<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/art-music-technology/id736102938?mt=2&i=1000422272432" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/art-music-technology/id736102938?mt=2&i=1000422272432</a>), and makes a compelling case. I've had about as many successes as a backer as I have failures, but I have no insights into the other side of the transaction.<br /><br />
