Why Use Kickstarter to Grab Your First-Edition Focus Box?

Social media and smartphones have been dominant for two decades, now. We've all used social media at one point or another, and most of us still use it today. However, we're sure that you're starting to notice how distracting and intrusive it can be. We sure have. So, we created The Focus Box to help keep smartphone usage under control and take our lives back. 

The Focus Box is a one-of-a-kind isolation chamber for your phone. It lights up when you receive important notifications (that you get to choose), charges your phone wirelessly, and brings the beautiful elegance of Scandinavian, wooden décor into your home. 

This all comes together to make your phone a less distracting device so you can work, spend time with your family, or simply enjoy the little things without your phone constantly annoying you. 

However, we can't bring it to market by ourselves. We need your help to bring this life-changing device to consumers around the world, and that's why we've taken our funding efforts to Kickstarter. 

What is Kickstarter and How Does It Help The Focus Box?

Kickstarter is a reward-based crowdfunding platform that lets people just like you support cutting-edge startups like us. It's a way to bring inventors, developers, and more together with their consumers in a meaningful way, and for many startups, it's the only way to bring innovative products to the market. 

For us, Kickstarter helps us get the capital necessary to "kickstart" production on The Focus Box and sell it to consumers just like you. It lets you decide if The Focus Box is something worthy of coming to market, or if it's dead on arrival. Luckily for us, the consumer market has already shown a massive outpouring of support, and we're getting closer to our funding goal every day. 

Kickstarter isn't just beneficial for us, though. It also lets us reward our pre-production supporters through a tier system. When you donate, you qualify for one of our several reward tiers. These tiers come with unique perks that you usually don't get for buying a product, and once The Focus Box hits the market, these perks will be gone forever. 

Finally, it allows you to be one of the first adopters of our life-changing technology. You don't have to wait around for second, third, or even fourth manufacturing runs to get your hands on The Focus Box and start enjoying the offline world; you get to be one of the first: A pioneer in the modern offline lifestyle. 

Is Kickstarter safe?

We know what you're thinking. Can you trust an online platform with donations for a product that isn't in production, yet? Well, yes. Yes, you can. 

Kickstarter is one of the most reliable and trustworthy crowdfunding platforms available, and it's been used to fund some of the products you probably already use. Have you ever gone looking for a new card game for game night and came across Exploding Kittens? The quirky cult phenomenon is only around because of Kickstarter. The same goes for Pebble smartwatches and Bragi earbuds. With a bit of help from you, The Focus Box can join the long list of beloved products that got their humble beginnings on Kickstarter. 

This is because Kickstarter has gone the extra mile to protect its users. Each project is vetted to ensure that there's a functional prototype and proof of concept. This ensures that only serious inventors bring their creations to the platform. 

On top of that, the platform is heavily regulated to ensure your funds are put to use properly, and there are safety measures in place that keep malicious scammers from stealing your donations or using them for irrelevant means.
