Hi everyone!
We've officially closed out day two of our Kickstarter campaign. What an amazing start we've had so far. We are 92% funded with 240 backers! BOOM! You guys came through and you came through big time.
So just a quick behind-the-scenes update for some of you wondering how this all works and what we're up to besides refreshing our backer results every 30 seconds. We continue reaching out to all of our contacts to let them know about our campaign and to get the word out. It's tedious and occasionally awkward, but the reception has been so great and we're committed to getting this thing funded! We're also working on other marketing strategies to increase our outreach. But please, please, please continue sharing!
On the product side, we've got a guy in China this week who's visiting our shirt and compression sleeve suppliers, nailing down the last few details in terms of dimensions for each size, colors, printing etc. You wouldn't believe the amount of detail involved in this process! But you're gonna love the result. We're also placing our first order for hats and laces this week! We're extremely happy with how they turned out. Also, WE HAVE STICKERS!!! Who doesn't love stickers?
Thanks again! Please share our Visto Athletic Kickstarter with friends, family, coworkers, enemies, and strangers who might have an interest. This has all been so much fun and we just love and appreciate you all. Thanks for the support, for believing in us, our vision and our product. Every single one of you is amazing.

Well, we set a lofty goal of reaching 200 backers in the first 24 hours and you guys came through BIG TIME!!! As of about 8:00 this morning we were at just over 200 backers and about 82% funded. THANK YOU!!!! The neatest part about this whole thing has been seeing how big all of you have rallied behind us and our little business. Your kindness and generosity have been beyond inspiring.
So what does all of this mean? Well, the backer number is critical because Kickstarter sees that our page is generating traffic and there's an interest, so they begin moving it up to broader audiences, increasing exposure and potential backers/funding.
The funding number is also critical as it shows our idea actually has legs and is worth funding. What we've seen is that campaigns that reach over 60% of their funding goal in the first day end up being the most successful. We've been able to check both boxes thanks to all of you.
Now, we've just gotta bring it across the finish line. Please consider sharing and spreading the word if you haven't already. And thank you, thank you, thank you!
