But I had a limited runway, shall we say, of time to know that I needed to find another job. We weren't necessarily struggling financially as many across the country were at that time. My wife was pregnant with our second child, and I had a great job. It was a great job, and it taught me a ton about business, but I was looking at my life, realizing I had just lost my job. COVID hit and the COVID fun, young guys who make videos and do social media projects are usually the first to go. Obviously we all know what happened in spring, 2020. I worked on a team doing all sorts of crazy, interesting, creative projects. He invested in real estate and all sorts of other things. At the time in April of 2020 I was working for basically like a high net worth individual in his, what they call like a family office. I worked my way from there, worked my way into corporate advertising, and marketing. Moved to college and was a very, very poor college student until I found out that there was an art school in college where I got to study painting, and sculpture, and mostly graphic design because I had a love of computers. I started out basically in high school with creative projects learning Photoshop, and video production. That's great and terrible at the same time. I'm definitely a Swiss Army knife of creativity basically. Are you an engineer? Are you somebody who designs these types of things for a living anyway? How did you get to where you are now? He's like, "Oh, can we get our own discount too?" He was like, "I want it for my kids." I was like, "I'll talk to him about it." I also had the conversation with Scott, my cofounder the other day, when we saw your official Kickstarter launch, and we were talking about it. I just basically made a more expensive version of that. It is weirdly universal that kids are going to rip the couch cushions off, and take the nice throw blanket, and construct something. I don't even think I realized how universal that was until I started reaching out to people on Facebook and other, mostly mothers, but fathers as well. They're almost always stacked in some sort of fort-like shape, or some sort of building, or wall, or something to play with. I said, "That is awesome," because anybody who's a parent knows, at least in my house, if you have couch cushions, or any sort of cushions, and blankets around, they're almost never where you intend them to be as a parent. To add to your description about the product, the cushions with the magnets, I will say when I first saw you guys creating the campaign on KickoffLabs to collect email addresses I thought to myself, as a parent of two children. I'm looking at the campaign right now and it says 26 days ago, 7,858 backers of this moment.Īnd 2,394,952 pledged for the project. We're at just under 2.4 million as I'm speaking right now on day four. We've worked magnets into all these different places, and created this tower that can disassemble and reassemble in all these various ways that kids can enjoy. If I dumb it down really simply it's a set of these really basic, like cushions with this really durable fabric. I am the founder of FORT, which is a magnetic pillow fort. Well, I am on basically day four of a monster crowdfund race basically, for probably the oddest product I could ever think of to raise millions of dollars.
Connor, you must feel pretty good right now, so tell me what's going on with you. I think we are now recording, which is awesome.
