We’re really excited about bringing this project to life and helping more people grow food at home. Below are some of the most common questions about Urban Leaf’s Kickstarter campaign for the World’s Smallest Garden.
For more general Kickstarter-related questions, their own FAQ may be a better source of information. Our press release provides more information about the product itself.
What is Kickstarter and how does it work?
Kickstarter is a platform that helps bring new product ideas to life. It is NOT an equity crowdfunding platform. By contributing to our campaign, you are effectively agreeing to pre-purchase a product. You are NOT investing in the company itself.
Why is Urban Leaf doing a Kickstarter campaign?
We’re doing this to show more people how fun and easy growing food at home can be.
What is Urban Leaf going to use the money for?
The proceeds from this campaign will allow us to produce more of the World’s Smallest Garden than we currently can. Scaling up production involves several large one-off costs, which require a significant demand for the product to justify. Contributing to the Kickstarter campaign is the easiest way to show us that you would like to buy the product. If, and only if, we reach our campaign target, the project will go ahead.
How much is Urban Leaf targeting to raise?
The final target amount will be announced closer to the campaign launch, but it will be enough to justify the one-off costs mentioned above.
What is the product?
The product, or ‘rewards’ for your contribution, are based on our patented product – the World’s Smallest Garden. It will be available in a variety of forms and packaging options to suit different customer needs.
How long will the campaign last?
The campaign will last 30 days, after which we will focus on manufacturing the product and shipping it out to you!
When does the campaign start?
The campaign starts on May 22nd, 2017.
How can I help?
Glad you asked! The success of the campaign is largely determined in the first few days. Strong early funding contributions can help the project get picked up as a ‘Staff Pick’, significantly increasing its distribution and chances of success. If you plan to buy the product, please do so early! We’ll be offering some great incentives for doing so
