In my limited experience, I have never seen GoFundMe work, but again my
experience is very limited.
My daughter tried it so people could donate cash as wedding gifts, and a friend
of ours tried it for his business page. No takers on either the last time I
checked.

I hope Go Funding would help. In a normal business venture, one usually has to
have some capital and/or collateral, then maybe loans can be forthcoming. I
don't know how it could work, if some sort of foundation or agency could be
established in order to apply for grant money -- way complex for me.
Best from,
Carolyn

Judy, I am replying to the list on purpose.
As you might have seen from the list, Chuck and I know each other a little. We
met in 1991 when I was starting my Business called E.Y.E.S.
(Entering Your Ear systems.) At the time, he was most interested in less
expensive Braille devices and I believe some type of less expensive display for
the optacon.
There's an expression my mother used on occasion, "once burned, twice shy." I
believe some of us, if trusted, could help perhaps through a well designed and
controlled "Go Fund Me" campaign.
I think a bigger problem with all the cop-out and escape routes available to a
too stagnant blind and visually impaired population would be to convince them
of the total value and flexibility of the Optacon but the intended newer model
has wider possibilities built on today's technology.

Hi To All,
While I applaud Charles' knowledge and others with the engineering
talents I certainly don't have, are there others on the list with
marketing talents and contacts? The reason I am asking is because we
have been Talking about this new optacon, which is good, but is there
any forward momentum to the talk? Just curious.
