Flexible funding. That's a little concerning... not necessarily an out-and-out indicator of a scam, but a red flag to me nonetheless.
I am not sure where that comes from.
I was under the impression flex funding implies they had all the resources they needed. So even an order for 1 unit will get built because they are already building it. There is video of working unit.
If anything that is safer than fixed funding because fixed funding is genuine frontier project where the tools such as injection molds don't exist and promises of volume discount may not materialise. I bought Snaak for example, and they nearly went under because they estimate their tooling cost incorrectly (happily an investor stepped forward to help them).
Anyway kickstarter/indiegogo is not a place for betting. Its for frontier stuff where there is commitment to fellow techies no matter what the outcome may be.
Hmm. Might have to submit this one to the Hackaday Tip Line for evaluation...
