Hello everyone,

I thought I would quickly update you on what we are doing to ensure GIGA is delivered in November as planned.

Here is a short video where I explained the apporach we took:

Here's a recap, for those that couldn't understand what I said in the video as a non English speaker and due to my accent.

We have put some great measures into place to make sure that we deliver the GIGA in November as originally scheduled. If you noticed, our daily monetary goal has plateaued. Despite having a very strong start in the first two days of our launch by raising $100k+.

We decided redirect all our marketing budget into manufacturing, by making sure that the production and certifications get started pretty early.

We are working with a big factory and after having some meetings with them. We agreed it is best to get production started much earlier than scheduled. This is because we hate to disappoint our backers. VOLTA is known for delivering within the estimated delivery dates.

We will rather sacrifice our profit and walk on hot charcoals to make sure our customers are satisfied. We are not just a tech company, we are about People.

Yes, it is true that our goal is to care for those in need in the third world nations with some of the proceeds we make. But, It is more important for us to make sure our customers are well looked after at all times. Without our customers there would be no VOLTA and there would be no single penny to care for those in need.

Giveaways and competition.
We have been working on some wireless charging stand for a while and we've got some of the samples in house. I would like to send up to 30 pieces out to some of our backers.
I will share more details on how to go about getting one of these wireless charging stands via VOLTA email. Kindly watch out for our email, as I will add you into our mailing list.

In the Gif above, you will see me holding the 3in1 wireless charging stand with a 33W GaN charger.

Let me know if you would be interested in getting a small size 33W GaN charger, by leaving a comment on the discussion section on the campaign page. If the demand for it is strong, I will release it as a perk.

Below is an amateur video that I shot to show the GIGA power distribution and you also get to see the wireless charging stands at a much better angle.

We are using this opportunity to thank you for your amazing support.
We made it this far because of you. Wow, we are truly mesmerized by your support.

Below is a video that I made to correct the error that was made with the 70% discount offer on the 200W. I have seen your comments and the right thing to adjust the pricing for the 200W to meet the promised 70% discount. I wasn't sure many people would want the 200W as there were few people that showed interest in the 200W in the survey we had on Google Form.
All excuses aside, everyone that 'Reserved a Spot' will get the 200W at the 70% discounted price ($75) that was promised.

All you need to do now is just sit and relax, the difference of $10 will be credited to your Backerkit account at the end of the campaign and you can use this money to get add-ons or extra items.

Also, I made a mistake by putting September 2021 as the delivery date. I had mistakenly typed 9 instead of 11 (November). There is no way we would be able to deliver the products to you in September. As you can see, the campaign will end in the next 45 days and that will be in October.
I mistakenly typed in 9 instead of 11, as my birth date is 09/11.

I am truly sorry about the inconveniences that this might have caused you.
