When all was said and done with our Wefunder campaign, is was a successful campaign, officially raising $222,459, permitting us to continue to execute and make great progress against our business plan.   And for that we are grateful to Wefunder, and all of our new investors that made the campaign a success. But in our Form C, filed in conjunction with this Wefunder Offering, we declared a "Maximum offering amount of $1,000,000" and later stated, "The Company believes that the maximum offering amount of $1 million will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations and further development and investment in the sorghum supply chain and production cycle". So while our Wefunder campaign was a success - and a quick review of our milestone achievements post Wefunder Launch is compelling evidence of such  - it left us short of the $1 million we believed we needed to succeed.  Given the success of our equity crowd funding, both in raising $222,459 and bringing us 279 new owners / brand loyalists / brand advocates, we thought a second campaign was in order.  But this time, to tap into a new potential investor base, we decided to launch from an alternative portal. Our new campaign launched on Wednesday Jan 3rd at 7PM EDT.  Within 24 hours of launch, we had raised over $60,000, exceeding our wildest expectations.  In contrast, it took us 11 days to cross the $60,000 threshold in our first crowd funding campaign.  Click here for details of our present campaign.
