We can't keep up with iCP demand, as many of you will know we have been limiting orders since December.

We turn down distribution requests from all over the world every week because we can't supply enough units.

We need investment - returns will be impressive, it's a fast moving and profitable device.

Please PM me if you're seriously interested.

We're looking to raise about $300,000.

Don't worry if I don't answer your PM right away, I'll do them all at once, some of you asking the minimum investment - Please do tell me what you have in mind.

Sounds interesting, any chance you could give a brief overview of the nature of the investment? i.e. would it be a share of the company, a loan, or something else?

It might also be helpful to give some indication as to what the investment would be used for.

Answers to the above might help people to decide on how much they'd be willing to invest.

It's appreciated that you're just 'testing the waters' and may not have exact answers at this stage.

We want to make 10,000 iControlpads.

This is the magic number to reduce cost but more importantly to meet demands of distributors and customers.

Making them is quite straight forward, we just buy the parts (all off the shelf, no long lead time), make the cases
(cases are made in the UK with a 2 day lead time), and make the PCBs (Germany).

We want your help to do this.

I'm happy to give a competitive return on the investment, but obviously it will have to be locked in for a minimum
amount of time (essentially the time it takes to build and ship the 10,000 units).

That's it, you all know the iCP pretty well, you have seen how we have built it up and you know we are having
trouble meeting demand (the website allows ordering on and off at the moment due to this).

We are committed to making the iCP the number1 device in this new area of controllers, our google ranking,
reviews and brand recognition is high, easily the best on the market.

I'm preparing and email for you all about this, I'm still getting PMs so just leaving it until later in the week so there are several of you.

It looks like there is enough interest for this to go ahead already though. I'm quite sure you will be well rewarded for getting in on the ground floor on this,
phone/tablet controllers are going to be huge.

PM me your email address and I'll add you to the list.

Seems to be a few extra people emailing me about this today, maybe it's the facebook-instagram $1billion effect!

[KS810]

I am also interested. Sent you a pm with my email.

Thanks

[Craigix]

Thanks, the reason why I've not emailed yet is because we want to have some... interesting statistics... to show you first.

(Yes, I'm being as vague as possible as usual!)

Craigx,

I've been trying to contact you for about two weeks. It's been an arduous task. I am very interested in investing in this product and want you to contact me via phone for more info and details.

Please send me a personal email or message with a phone number or I will respond back with mine.

Thanks,
Glenn
