Crowdfunding

We’re thrilled to have surpassed our crowdfunding goal on Indiegogo by 146% and want to thank all our supporters for believing in Linky.We’re already hard at work in the next steps to manufacture and get you your boards on time. Watch the video below to hear Paolo give you some more details about this. We’ve passed into InDemand on Indiegogo, making it still possible to pre-order Linky (though no longer at the Early Bird price) for a few months until we start fulfilling orders and move into the next phase of our sales campaign.In the meantime, please follow us on socials (you can always find us @linkyinnovation) and stay tuned! Remember you can DM us anywhere if you have any questions.Thanks again, Ciao from Italy!The whole Linky Team

Last July we posted that we didn't make our goal on Kickstarter but we'd be relaunching soon, and it has been so awesome to get all your feedback, which you've been writing to us on social media and through your comments. The buzz about Linky hasn't slowed down, and we've gotten press from around the world, including Japan, Korea and France lately.Every day we answer your questions and we know that the number one thing you want to hear is: when will Linky be available? Finally we can give you the answer to this question.Linky will launch on Tuesday October 11, 2016, at 5pm CET(time difference? That's 9am in California, 11am in Chicago, midnight in Singapore and 1am Wednesday in Japan)Wanna hear it from the mouth of our founder and CEO, Paolo? Here he is in video!Over the summer, we've been working on reducing costs, and we know that a lot of you hope that Linky will be affordable. The good news is that it is going to cost significantly less than how we priced it in our last campaign. This is thanks to the visibility we got through that campaign, that put us in touch with suppliers and most importantly a production partner who is able to help us industrialize and hence lower the price. It's going to cost less than some of our most important competitors, but it is still a high quality product that feels strongly about safety, so it is not going to be "super cheap".On October 11 we're going to be making Linky available for pre-order on the Indiegogo platform, which accepts payments by Paypal (some of you asked for that) as well as credit card and other methods. There are going to be a limited number of early bird priced boards, so we recommend saving that date. The price will be announced ONLY at the launch, so be patient!Boards will ship in April 2017, just a four month delay on the first batch boards of our original plan, and in time for the better weather.Want to give us a hand with the launch day buzz?Click the button below to add your voice to the THUNDERCLAP. You'll authorize a one-time share from your Facebook or Twitter account, which will go out at the moment of our launch on October 11.

As some of you know, we recently ran a Kickstarter campaign with a €100k "all or nothing" goal. We managed to raise over €83k, but that was not enough to "withdraw" that money and start production.As we wrote in this update, numerous positive things have come out of this campaign. While we won't be able to ship by December 2016 as planned, with a campaign relaunch (date TBA) we will be producing Linky by Summer 2017.In this video we sum up the experience and thank our early supporters. Take the surveyWe've asked our Kickstarter backers what they most want from Linky.

Yesterday we launched Linky on Kickstarter. We meant to post here about it at that time, but things got busy fast.Someone bought the first early bird unit literally 30 seconds in. In 40 minutes, 4 units sold. Our Thunderclap blast went out an hour later and word has been getting around, so we were fielding emails and comments all evening, watching excitedly as the counter crawled upwards. By 10pm, 6 hours after the launch, we'd sold 16 early bird units, for around €15,000 of pledges. This morning there are only 6 early birds left and we've passed 17k.Honestly, we couldn't be more excited. We'd always hoped it would go like this, but we kinda didn't dare. For this young startup, Linky represents a dream, the green mode of transportation we've always wanted, and what we've been focusing on for two years. It's also a potential livelihood, an opportunity for us to create our own jobs and to make our own contribution to the Italian economy.With thanks to the first backers who have believed in this project, let's hope that the Kickstarter continues to move with this positive trend, so soon we can all have #FreedomInYourBag.PS - have you seen our Instagram contest?
