Announcing the Campaign to Kickstart a new Graphics Company



Help a graphic designer live his dream of owning his own business

Madison, Wisconsin  February 15, 2015 – Ulises Palacios and his partner announce the campaign to raise funding for their new company,  On Demand Graphics. They are currently an in-home start up with all the right tools and even more potential for growth. Ulises and his partner have a combined 25+ years in printing and graphic installation. They provide various custom printing services: including decorated apparel (t-shirts, hoodies, uniforms, etc) vehicle graphics, signs & banners, and canvas prints (both gallery wrapped and unmounted).

Ulises is a very talented graphic designer and artist. However, there is little room for growth or advancement in his current job, and he expects that the business he currently works for will be closing its doors within the next 3 years. Ulises is desperate to find funding to help make his dream a reality before time runs out.

ON Demand Graphics has invested over $60k for the purchase of a large-format printer and Direct-to-Garment t-shirt printer. These pieces of equipment are incredibly expensive, and both partners have completely depleted their savings making the purchase. Ulises has found that he must spend the majority of his time working for his current job to make ends meet, and this is detracting from his new venture. It's becoming difficult for the company to get off the ground without additional funding.

With the money raised, they intend to work to improve their home base and make it suitable for everyday production. The anticipated end result is quitting their full-time jobs in favor of opening a retail location to house their business.

On Demand Graphics looks forward to showing their appreciation to supporters with a product sample, so it has been asked that potential supporters leave an email at time of contribution if they would like a sample when they donate.

Announcing the Campaign to Fund the Purchasing of a DTG Printer



Help a Growing Printing Company Expand their Business

Portland, Oregon  February 13, 2015Press Station is a custom t-shirt and apparel retail store at the Lloyd Center mall, Portland Oregon. After suffering a number setbacks including strife with co-owners, bad management and inventory tracking, as well as the general ups and downs of the market, Press Station struggled to keep their doors open.

Now 2 years later, after a long battle through financial hardship, the doors are still open at Press Station. The business is still in debt to family and friends and would like to also acquire funds to secure a second location.

The Press Station is attempting to raise $20,000 to make renovations and repairs, purchase new sublimation equipment, pay back family and friends who they are still in debt to. Another portion of the funding will be used to pay the ex-partner for his portion of the business, and use some of it for bank funding to secure a second location. This will also help with advertising and marketing Press Station.

Announcing the Campaign to Reunite a Child with her Father



Help a Little Girl Visit her Father Overseas While he Fights for Our Country

Chubbuck, Idaho  – February 13, 2015 – The Ohara family, consisting of two loving parents and a beautiful little girl, announce the campaign to fund their daughter's trip to visit her father in Korea as he fights for the United States Army.

It can be incredibly difficult for any couple to be separated, and the Oharas are no different. In their case, however, their daughter also suffers the sacrifice of having a father in the military. While they are able to keep in contact via phone, e-mails, web chats and more, it just isn't the same as seeing your family in person.

The Oharas opened this GoFundMe project to attempt to raise money to take their daughter for a visit to Korea, where her father is stationed. They hope to raise at least $4,500, which will cover flights for both mother and daughter, a hotel room for their visit, as well as other travel expenses that come with such a visit (including travel, incidentals, meals, etc).

By donating to this fundraising effort, you are, quite simply, reuniting a child with her beloved father. Please help this little girl see her father again, and make his long period of service for the United States go a little faster.

Announcing the Campaign to Provide Extreme Solar Wireless Broadband Internet



Help a Growing Wireless Internet Provider Expand their Business

North Vass, North Carolina – February 13, 2015 – The Extreme Solar Wireless Broadband Internet Service, and new internet provider company based out of North Carolina, is announcing their campaign to raise funds to expand their business.

The mission of the Extreme Solar Wireless Broadband Internet Service is to provide reliable, affordable internet service powered through solar power. Growing in popularity, the company already has customers ready to sign on because their existing internet infrastructures are terrible and unreliable. As a company focusing their internet provider services on solar power, their business is set to be profitable and poised for Massive Growth.

The business itself has been operational for a year, and exists fully off-grid using solar power. This can mean that in times of brown- or black-outs, communities all over the world could still rely on their internet service for home, business, and more.

Unlike many internet service competitors, the Extreme Solar Wireless Broadband Internet Service marries an unused (in the WiFi world) ”link aggregation” technology with the reliability of solar power. As they have been in operation for a year, the foundation of fully operational service has already laid. They are ready to ramp up to full service.

By donating to this fundraising effort, you are not only getting in on the ground floor of a booming industry and a potentially huge player in the market. You are also helping the company stay locally owned, providing local jobs to communities in desperate need.

Announcing the Campaign to Provide 100% Free and Green Energy on the go!



Help a new start-up company that focuses on designing innovative, problem solving products for today’s mobile lifestyles.

Boston, MA – February 4, 2014 -- An innovative product geared specifically toward travelers, the PLugg is the first USB battery charger that combines a USB mini generator powered by the suitcase wheel. When you plug your cell phone into the USB port on your PLUGG the phones battery is charged by the rolling motion of your suitcase wheel as you are walking or by PLUGGs internal battery if you are seated.

This extra battery, located inside PLugg, acts as an emergency backup battery should you need one, and it’s also automatically charged while you drag your suitcase. When you need, you just connect your device to the USB port. On full charged battery an electronic circuit will stop the charging phase in order to protect the battery.
A mini USB port on the PCB and a supply cable will allow to recharge the Plugg’s battery on a standard home plug in order to have your energy reserve ready faster.
The goal for this crowdfunding project is to help raise funds to put the PLugg into production. Funding is needed to buy all the components, pay for the first production run, and pay for all the certification like CE, RoHS, and WEEE. Next will be to complete all developmental steps, from tooling, molds, parts procurement, certification, packaging etc., all this leading to final production. PLugg is asking for $150k to complete the development and to produce the first line run. There are many exciting discounts and offers available to early backers, and PLugg hopes to turn this product into a something special that consumers are going to love!
About the Plugg Company

They are a partnership founded by a group of longstanding friends that have unique and experienced disciplines, ranging from engineering, industrial design, graphics, international sales and marketing.
