SXSW Apprentice

An update for The South by Southwest Apprentice

Sep 29 2016

Thank you to everyone who has given so generously over the last week - we are short of our target but the total so far means that we will be able to offer an Apprentice 5 months of mentoring and a trip to SXSW, which is a truly extraordinary opportunity. We are very grateful to you all.

There is still time to pledge so please do continue to talk about the initiative and encourage your contacts to support it.

Very many thanks from us all at Bristol Media.

Semana 1 Campaña El Gran Salto

An update for El Gran Salto (The Jump)

Sep 27 2016

Hola!

Hace una semana que lanzamos la campaña para El Gran Salto. Nuevamente quiero agradecerte tu gran aportación. En verdad ha sido invaluable para arrancar y motivar a más gente a que participe en este proyecto.

Hemos visto mucho interés en apoyar a que la película sea una realidad. Pero también nos hemos dado cuenta de que poca gente conoce en realidad cómo funciona una campaña de Crowdfunding. Quizá esa sea una de las razones por las que no se han animado a hacer una aportación.

En esta segunda semana trataremos de explicar en que consiste el proceso de aportar a una campaña como esta y porqué es una opción cada vez más utilizada para sacar adelante proyectos como el nuestro. Así cómo cuales son los beneficios para todos al contribuir.

¿Tienes alguna sugerencia de cómo podríamos mejorar la campaña? ¿Conoces a alguien que creas pueda también ser parte de ella?

¡Gracias nuevamente! Tus aportaciones y comentarios nos acercan cada vez más a la meta.

Excelente semana.

Jorge Porras,

Director

The first 24 hours

An update for Eco boat-glamping aboard historic sailing boat in Bristol Harbour

Sep 24 2016

Thank you to the 5 eager beavers who have backed the project in the first 24 hours of the soft-launch! It's great to see that not all of them are friends in my immediate network but some complete strangers too! This crowd-funding is incredibly exciting. Each of the 5 notification emails that have buzzed-up on my phone in the last 24 hours has sent a rush of excitement through me, most times resuting in me doing a little dance. Just knowing that people are excited enough by my vision to pledge some of their hard-earned money is bolstering.

We will be hitting the publicity trail hard on Monday morning when FundSurfer will be sending out their newsletter. Being a Bristol-based platform this project has earned a special place in their heart.

Cheers, enjoy your weekend

An update for Bristol's First Cat Cafe

Dear Supporters,

It has been a while!

Many of you have been asking me about cafe and if we are moving forward. I thought would be good to inform you all about current progress and to make some solid updates. So please join me tomorrow at 7PM on Facebook LIVE when I will be sharing the most recent updates with you all.

It is also a great opportunity for you to ask me any question you may have, plus there will be a surprise gift :)

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Best wishes
