Fund The Shirts
This site started out as a joke.
Really it did. We built it on a plane and launched it on twitter. That is it.
48k uniques later, we sit having sold 18 shirts at the $100 level and almost 100 at the $25 level.
Someone asked us if this was our dream come true. No. It was our joke that came true. We are now signing a deal with a distributor to make sure that we are no longer making lunchtime runs to the post office and to ensure the quality of the orders. Look for posters, cards, calendars, and perhaps even a coffee mug. Our joke is all grows up.
We are now opening up the “Fund This Shirt” button on each page. What does this get you? From our “Fund a Shirt” page:
Now you can experience the thrill and excitement of funding the “next big thing”. Choose the shirt with the most promising prospects to fund. Hurry, it’s an exclusive engagement, so fund your favorite shirt before someone else does.
$500 gets you:
• Your shirt “made” and will be available for sale to everyone at $25
• 40% of all future revenue from your shirt ($10/shirt)
• Your name/company info and “message to the world” on the shirt page
• The shirt you chose to fund
• Bonus “iFunded this shirt (over your startup)” shirt
We launched this early this week and already 3 have been funded. We will be posting more information about this, but be sure to fund them quick, they will go fast.
