It's been too long between updates! There is a lot going on in the world, and we've been struggling with the right cadence to keep you all updated. Please continue to keep asking questions if there's something specific on your mind, and thanks to all of you who continue to support us.

We'll keep this one short and sweet so here are the highlights from April:

  • Fundraising - We increased our offering as there was once again some people who wanted to join who would have been unable. With the market uncertainty ahead, we're looking to build some buffer so ensure we can hit our objectives while the work-from-home momentum continues. Our goal now represents the maximum we're allowed to offer via WeFunder for the next year, so this is it!
  • Perks - With the expanded limit, we no longer want to wait until the full funding to start enabling ALBI for our investors. We're adding some functionality to help with the onboarding experience, and regardless of the fundraising, we'll begin rolling out licenses to investors (based on their perk levels) starting in July. We will be bringing users on in batches so we can address any critical feedback between groups. Everyone will receive an email with your "go-live" details by the end of June.
  • Marketing - As many of you know, we planned to use some of the funds for marketing (we badly need a new website :) and we've selected a team to work with and are currently drafting up what areas to tackle first. Stay tuned as we'd love to show you some of the new website designs for your feedback before we start the development process.
As always, I'm here for your input, feedback, pushback, wisdom, advice, and encouragement.

Onward and Upward!
