It all depends on presentation and management. Anyway, there are no
doubt other resources for funds both via governments and private
institutions.
Truth to tell, there is no way I would fund somebody's wedding ring, or
trip to Hawaii, or to be the first paid space passenger. On the other
hand, I need no special page to give my meager support to NVDA, or Applevis.
BTW, I need funding for a new Whoopee cushion factory called tops for
bottoms.

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,to view the list archives, go to:
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.
