Flatlander's Kickstarter

Our coffee roastery, Flatlander Coffee Co., just launched a Kickstarter campaign to help raise money to buy a larger roaster. Since our business opened in May, we've already had many great opportunities, and we're excited about where things are headed. Demand for our coffee has grown even faster than we expected, and now we need to upgrade our equipment to keep up!

Here's a picture of the type of roaster we plan to get from U.S. Roaster's Corp. in Oklahoma City. They build it all starting with a flat piece of metal! Pretty impressive. And we love that it's made right here in our own backyard. This company makes and ships roasters all over the world!

The cool thing about using Kickstarter to raise the remainder of the funds we need is that it's community-driven. For every amount donated, there's a corresponding reward (magnets, t-shirts, mugs, coffee, etc.) to motivate givers. However, it's an all-or-nothing deal, so if we don't reach our $7,000 goal in 30 days, not only do we not get any of the money raised (and givers don't get charged) but also, no one gets their rewards. The hope is that everyone who gives will help spread the word about our campaign so it can be a win-win for everyone!
