"We originally wanted to launch projects that ranged from textiles to games to clothing and these products would be crowdfunding. Creators would be putting them on sale and collecting donations. Then we thought it would be a bad time and the creators agreed." @Pledgecamp

"When the foundation is crumbling, you need direct, grassroots communication." @Pledgecamp

"Believing in small businesses will be very important as we move forward." @Pledgecamp

"A recent study reported that up to 85% of crowdfunded projects will delay or miss their promises. So, it's really important for us to create a model that incentivizes creators to be more upfront and accountable." @Pledgecamp

"Only if we have good outcomes will crowdfunding be successful." @Pledgecamp

"We're able to supply this PPE at lower cost. We offer the ability to send PPE directly to an institution of your choice. We're publishing all of all of information online and f we don't meet a goal, we give you 100% of the money back." @Pledgecamp

"Short-term success is being able to donate PPE and make an impact." @Pledgecamp

"There is a very human cost to COVID-19 and everyone is scared at this time. We want to make sure all of our employees, partners, and co-founders stay and feel safe and secure." @Pledgecamp

"Make sure that you're taking the opportunity to connect with people around you and focus on your mental health. When there are uncertain times and big changes in your life, it is a good time to create new habits in your health and in your day-to-day life." @Pledgecamp

"Make sure that you have enough time to prepare. Take 2-3 months. Most crowdfunding success comes from preparation up front. Find our your story and your identity and why people care about your product. Learn as much as possible and ask as many questions as you can." @Pledgecamp

"We'll see a new normal as a result of this virus. As long as we're checking in with each other and communicating with one another, we will move forward." @Pledgecamp

I couldn't be prouder to have teamed up with @Pledgecamp as they use blockchain technology to bring trust back to crowdfunding. Find out how they're using their system to ensure that PPE actually gets sourced and donated to facilities that need it most: plg.camp/supplies
