Just Surpassed Funding Goal-How 2 speed up momentum!?

Hey there guys!

I want to start by saying this forum has been really insightful and it has been very helpful reading other people's crowd funding journeys and knowing that our team is not alone.

Our project, Voltset, just got funded this week and we are super grateful and happy, but we know we still have a long way to go. We have 24 days left and we would like to reach our stretch goals and really get our project off the ground.

What are your suggestions?
Should we enter startup competitions?
How do we get the attention of major media?

If you could take a peek at our campaign and let us know: What do you think we are doing right ? or doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your feedback! and good luck to everyone else that is crowdfunding right now :) -Ran, Voltset Team

Awesome! Then we're doing our job haha :). You guys are definitely not alone :D

Congrats on your phenomenal success. Have you considered stretch goals? I would definitely enter startup competitions regardless. I've done a few with my companies, have won one, and regardless always meet great people and potential investors/mentors.

Yes - I'd say major media outreach should be your goal now. Have you gotten on any blogs or publications? Have you submitted to reddit or hackernews?

Thanks for the reply! We will be competing at -http://techweek.com/chicago/

No we are not very active on Reddit or Hackernews- But thanks for the tip. I will work on itthis week.

And we have gotten medium media coverage- do you have suggestions how to reach more?

@tech - It's kind of a grind and just keeping up the PR outreach, using multiple story angles based on the journalist you are targeting.
