Crowdfunding the creation of the next version of LFGSS

This time next year, hippy...
#etc

That's got to be a record.

Where's that Norris McWhirter bloke?

Right!

Oh...

Remember y'all, it's now in "standby period", where you can still invest if you have funds in your account, for the next seven days. For those who missed the cut-off today, you should go ahead and invest anyway as if anyone withdraws (doesn't get their money in on time/gets cold feet) their shares will be allocated to those on standby. If you don't ultimately get in, you can just withdraw your money, so no loss...

Now can i buy that GHD so i can have amazing hair like B&D?

...Oh wait...

GHD make straighteners, you bell-end.

i know that, thats what i said...

That was quick, nice one.

That's a smidge over 15 hours by my reckoning. In your face, Trotify.

If you can get to the size of Adobe without any more investment, then our investments will increase by a factor of 30,000. Sounds doable.

I have been away from this thread for a while.
Without looking back through all the pages, am I still able to invest?

I have looked at the seedr website and it says you have already reached the required investment.....

You can, you'll be on a standby list of some description if people can't get their funds in place in time.

Do it!

I will sell you my investment for £25,000

I am stoked by the support.

And whilst part of me wants to go party, the rest of me is thinking about the responsibility I've just signed up to and the immense amount of work that needs doing.

I'm also looking at the dev schedule, and thinking... tear that right up. I want to get some very bad version out of the door really soon so that you can see progress and I can learn what works really early.

I was in a meeting this morning with a trusted advisor, and the takeaway is that if I work for 9 months and produce something that has a 80% chance of success, that whilst it would work, it might only work on a small scale and wouldn't provide enough opportunity to learn as if I'd shipped something with only a 50% chance of success a lot sooner.

Basically... what if I spent months perfecting the events feature, and actually discovered that one launched it was the galleries that people found more popular.

What if I could learn that in January of February rather than in October... what could I then have done in the time difference when I focus on the thing people most want?

So I'm going to see how we can get something out on a really aggressive schedule, still with our end vision in mind, but with far more chances for us to test things along the way.

Oh, and whilst I've immediately gone into work mode... I'm totally stoked.

Congrats David. Make it happen.

I read the nominee agreement.
When dividends etc are realised Seedrs take a 7.5% management fee.

That's for another day. Get cracking.

Money now in my Seeder account - I don't need to do anything further do I? I seem to remember the emails from last night suggesting the transfer to Microcosm is automatic.

To LFGSS members and investors and patrons: You get office hours access. Literally, come down, see what we're doing. We'll make you a coffee, and show you our progress. We're going to be extremely transparent.

We'll make YOU coffee

Congratulations to everyone, but especially you VB.

Hope to meet some of you at the seedrs 'mixer' on 29th (you should have received a flyer), then we can properly thank VB :-)

Am I a millionaire yet?

Congratulations, VB... :D

Well done, David.

Well done! I went for patronage being a poor student and all! All the best!
