Help fund my project!

[Shannacore]

I love my dogs (any any dog, really) and I love to cook. I'm trying to start a small operation (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/533504147/sweet-bone-barkery) that would bring both of these worlds together. Suggestions are welcomed!

As a person who has had the same dog for 15 years (my dog is classic) I think this is a solid idea, during a dog food recall around when he was 3 or 4 he stopped eating his dog food and we've since fed him human food. (like bland things/meats and a small variety; he has always had a sensitive stomach to both dog food and real food)

Best of luck :)

might wanna clarify the project a bit more then cooking with dog.

[loramin]

There was a business like this on Shark Tank:

Not saying you should abandon the idea or anything (the world needs competition!), just letting you know what else is out there.

[this user was banned]

I just wanted to mention a few things that you really should consider:

1. Although dogs are fairly omnivorous, grains (rice in your case) are not "natural" dog foods at all and not really that healthy for their diet, yes they are treats, but you should be using some form of meat meal.
2. Gluten free is irrelevant selling point because of 1
3. Your puree ingredients are probably not going to keep well unless you refrigerate or vacuum seal them very well, or bake the hell out of them.
4. Because of 3, and the fact that you are opting out of using any form of preservatives, shipping food with perishable ingredients might be a problem.
5. Some dogs can have peanut allergies. MAKE SURE YOU LABEL ACCORDINGLY or you will have to deal with law suits. Even allergic owners handling these treats can get severe allergic reactions, so keep this in mind!

Good luck with your project!

1) There were a lot of avenues to explore for the recipe. This one baked well and held together nicely. I hope to add new flavors in the future if I can secure the funding, a meat based option wouldn't be a bad idea.
2) I know a lot of pet owners who have pups with a gluten intolerance. It's not an irrelevant selling point at all.
3) They're in the oven at a high temp for a pretty large amount of time and I recommend storage in an air-tight container.
4) Did the research, not a problemo
5) New Mexico has very strict labeling guidelines for pet food/treats. I've already developed all of the labels and they're very clear about what's in the treat.

Thank you for your feedback!

I've gotten more return out of homeless people. Why in the world would we donate money to you?

My advice: Give a fair amount of food for people who give money so its like they are actually getting something for their money, especially since making a dam biscuit is a pretty low cost. Ill tell ya what, I will even help you get started, ill give you $100 bucks for your phone. PM if interested.

Almost 10% funded on day 1, off to a good start.

Thanks to those of you who have PMd me suggestions, some of the recommendations were great.

That's not a plan I can get behind "I know I can do better" - if you seriously want investors you should really try to distinguish yourself.

Also, there are a number of local companies I found without even trying..

I'm not familiar with Tullivers, but I am with the other two. One is a national company, I am supporting locality.

One thing that I would like to aim for, and perhaps should emphasize more on in my Kickstarter, is a partnership opportunity with all of the small businesses in Albuquerque. There are few things this sometimes-crappy city can pride itself on, but pet ownership and small businesses are two of them. This would be a nice way to bridge the two, and I think it would really work. All of our small business districts are walkable and most of the stores and even restaurants are dog friendly.

My undergrad (and the two graduate degrees I am working on now) are all focused on Community Planning and Community Engagement, so that's where my interests lay. This is another way for me to involve myself in it!

Truly baffling. $800 does not qualify as a true barrier to entry, it's just a money grab.

You should be willing to give up equity for funding. Kickstarter is a stain on our society where people give up nothing for something. If you have a profit-seeking venture for kickstarter you're being exploitative, period.

Most of the trolls here are miserable simpletons who are jealous they don't have the motivation to go out and do anything more than buy cheetos and mountain dew to fuel their everquest addiction from mom's basement. They have to hate on people with passions in life to feel better about themselves. This seems to be accurate given the petty nature of most of your complaints.

It's not like she's asking money for nothing. The top reward is a 32oz. jar which can easily fit like 500+ treats. She could save the money for a side business on her own no problem, but it makes better business sense to do it this way, essentially taking pre-orders to cover startup costs. And there's nothing to worry about with perishables, peanut butter and purees come with preservatives (natural ones like vitamin E) already in them. And dogs can handle rice flour just fine, especially for a treat, it's an enormous stretch to call out on that.

She is asking money for nothing, though. It's the very definition of kickstarter. I want YOUR money and I won't give you MY equity. I WILL give you product that I create that hopefully drums up more business with you, though!

Simply put, the amount you give won't be coming back to you. It is not a loan, it is a donation. It is PBS-style 'donate 25 dollars and you get this tote bag!' type of deal.

It's not nearly as heinous as big movie studios funding millions on kickstarter and giving out free DVDs (I'm looking at you, Veronica Mars). It's 800 bucks. I'm just against the principle of kickstarter-for-profit in general.

Isn't it great that when you don't like a project, you can just exit the page? A number industries like small electronics manufacturing wouldn't have a fraction of the innovations we're seeing come out daily if it weren't for kickstarter types of funding, there's nothing wrong with it other than humanity should have figured it out sooner.

And no, money for nothing is not the definition of kickstarter, and isn't what's going on with hers. Your equity in the company, for $10, is a bag of treats. You can't expect to become a major stockholder in any company for that kind of money.

I'm really quite aware of how Kickstarter works. Compare the model of KIVA to this.

Kiva - you give small amounts, 'micro-loans', with a defined interest rate depending on loan amount and risk associated. The recipient of the money then uses this capital to develop their product/service and then pays back the loan. This allows small companies/individual proprietors to raise funds where they otherwise couldn't, and the investor not only helps out small business, but gets their money back + interest. There is a risk of default, but that is what the interest rate is for.

Kickstarter - you give small amounts, 'micro-donations', where the only required payment is the 'levels' defined by kickstarter. The recipient of the money then uses this capital to develop their product/service and then sends out their level-payments. This allows small companies/individual proprietors to raise funds where they otherwise couldn't, and the investor helps out small business as a donation - they may get a small reward (or not). There is a risk of default, but you donated your money so there's no obligation. They don't even have to pay out the levels if their project falls through.

They are very similar, except one is accountable and the other isn't. Your claim of small electronics would be just as well funded by micro-lending. Kickstarter has, and always will be, a scam. It acts as if it's a public funding enterprise (like PBS) and accepts donations, no 'equity'.

And yes, $10 isn't enough for anything. However, I've seen kickstarter campaigns that have levels for $100k - i think that's some equity money right there (but you could be an EXTRA IN A MOVIE!).

If I want these dog treats, and I pay $10 and get them, then great - my goal has been achieved. From the outset, I just wanted the dog treats that I can't currently get, not a continued share in the company's success or potential failure. If the goal doesn't get reached and my dog treats never get made, then I end up getting refunded anyways.

If I want equity in a company, then I know already that kickstarter is not the place to get that. I didn't care about whether or not I get the dog treats and owning 1.25% of a small home-based business probably wasn't worth the trouble to me or the business if we're talking $10 to begin with.

Both models have their place and it's absolutely infuriating when people try to wax smug on the kickstarter model as if these plebeian 'donators' have no idea how much they're getting 'suckered' by these small businesses. Kickstarter is allowing consumers to facilitate the role of investors without changing their role as a consumer or changing the business' role to that of a partner, and sometimes that's just what the consumers and businesses want. Most people don't have the 10's of thousands of dollars to throw around that would be necessary to interest a business in taking them on as a partner, and most small businesses don't want 50% of their ownership fragmented across 2500 different people.

As a consumer, not a venture capitalist, I appreciate what the platform offers and have received a number of neat products through it that probably wouldn't have become available on the open market otherwise.

If a friend of mine pre-orders a video game in order to get the deluxe edition when it comes out, I don't call him a moron because he didn't ask for a 0.00043% share of the company. Would you?

The problem is that the dog treats don't cost $10. If you need to raise funds, you should get a loan.

Get a loan - be able to produce dog treats - sell dog treats - pay back loan

Get a kickstarter - be able to produce dog treats - send them to your backers (for way less than they paid to your kickstarter ) - end of step.

Yes, consumers are getting taken for a ride. Acknowledge that kickstarter is at it's heart, a CHARITY. If you are doing a kickstarter on a for-profit venture, you're taking advantage of people. period.

Banks wouldn't fund apple because they thought it was a dumb idea for a company. Venture capitalists wouldn't fund the mini-printer I backed because they thought it was a dumb idea. Sometimes its hard to convey an idea as being potentially successful without prior success in an industry no matter how good the idea itself is. Investors looking to invest are going to scrutinize a company's perceived value and chance of success where a consumer will simply see a product they want to buy.

Get a kickstarter - be able to produce dog treats - send them to your backers (for way less than they paid to your kickstarter ) - end of step.

Backers that only really wanted different dog treats than they can buy currently. Value is in the eye of the beholder and most kickstarters actually offer more than the market price of their rewards to those that back. Maybe not in this case, but who knows what dog treats sell for, you might actually be getting a discount here. I hate dogs, so I can't comment.

I'll agree $10 for a haiku is pretty steep, but $50 for a jar full of treats + jar sounds about right for market value of a special interest pet product. I also think it's dumb that people pay millions of dollars to get a new ship in star citizen every week when the game isn't out yet. In either case, you've paid and got something in return.

Yes, consumers are getting taken for a ride. Acknowledge that kickstarter is at it's heart, a CHARITY. If you are doing a kickstarter on a for-profit venture, you're taking advantage of people. period.

It's not a charity if you're paying money to get something back.

You can criticize specific campaigns for being disingenuous or greedy, and you'd be right as there's a ton of examples of people making exploitative/dumb campaigns. They also aren't usually the ones that get funded. The model itself works quite well and has brought a huge number of innovative products to market, specifically in the realm of niche tech products like Naez brought up earlier.

As a consumer, I like it being around. As an investor, I have no opinion of it because it's not used to invest.

[August]

Sorry Gradner, I just don't buy into your propaganda.

Apple could have been financed by micro-lending.

All those niche companies could have also been successfully funded by microlending.

Kickstarter has a very niche role. It should not be used for people looking to profit off of their business, period.

Money as an asset always has a return, even if it's 0%. You take a loan out on a hope that the return you can get on it will beat the return that a bank demands.

With kickstarter, the rewards they give are almost universally less than what they're getting. $50 bucks for a big thing of dog treats? I'd be surprised if the actual cost was more than $20. $50 at retail? sure.

It is a business model where the return required of you is negative - and that is by definition charity. That's why PBS can give out tote bags.

I'm not knocking Kickstarter as a platform at all. I myself have contributed to over 15 Kickstarter projects - every single one of them exploratory or non-profit. My beef lies solely with kickstarter being used as a lending platform where there is no insurance on the investment and the returns are basically charity.

[Shannacore]

Two graduate degrees at one time?

Yes (http://spa.unm.edu/common/documents/spa-crp-checklist.pdf)

Two full masters degrees in the time it would take to do 1.5. WOOP.

charity = utility, moran

if the utility gained by giving $10 to a chubby student with pumpkin flavored dog cookies shaped like stars in her eyes is greater than the utility you gain from buying a take-out small cheese pizza, then you're making a good investment. if it's not, then don't fucking do it

tralina is opening an otherwise closed avenue for utility creation by allowing you to donate to her dog cookie business. $10 doesn't get you much. helping out an elf pal might be worth more to you than whatever else you're gonna do with $10 this week

[heartbrand]

Will give you $800 for 25% from sale of each treat until my $800 is paid back, then 5% from each treat in perpetuity

sending this to KICKSTARTER corporate office

[Orruar]

You all know that Sean is just going to donate the remaining to fund this thing with 1 day left. He's probably been quietly upping his donation to keep it looking like it's just barely going to make the goal, in order to maximize external donations. Rest assured this campaign will reach its goal.

Let's do a little math to see if we can figure out how much he has likely donated thus far.

2 backers - $1
3 backers - $5
4 backers - $10
2 backers - $15
3 backers - $25
6 backers - $50+

So if everyone has donated the minimum to reach the level of reward they are at (most common way of donating on KS), you have a total of $462. The campaign has a total of $690 donated. That's $228 extra donated. Either several of those $50 backers were extra generous, or the scammers are quietly upping their donation over time to keep it looking like the project is on track (but just barely, so as to maximize the "help us" factor).

[mtb tripper]

I thought about elaborating on the current state of my finances, but I won't even walk into that troll trap. Only a few days left for the kickstarter, keeping my fingers crossed! Thanks to those who have donated.

[Swish]

Went from $690 to $670. Who backed out?

Shit I almost did a screencap and posted up a "who's RMT'ing?" lineup earlier... but I figured that wasn't very nice :p

Those who have good financial sense and take care of business don't usually feel the need to tell others about it.

Your dumbass doesn't post to twitter when you swap loans around. Especially when you are prostituting yourself on a kickstarter. Its very fucking gauche. Naez dude...dont make thos woman pregnant or make any longterm commitments.

shaking my god damn head

fucking sickening the shananigans going down in new mexico

Considering P99 is literally the only place where you are even marginally e-famous, you should have done EQ themed treats, customized products (Sirken Snacks, Nilbog Nibbles), and donated a portion of the proceeds to P99. Also Harrison biscuits, heavily salted to taste like tears

That is a level of immersion that the neckbeards of elfquest would truly admire and identify with.

[Rais]

So this is pretty much a cookie for humans labeled for dogs. The updated cookies will have enough sugar in them to cause diabetes.
Solid plan.

This is the greatest thing to ever happen on the forums.
Naez must have some serious mommy issues to be with this manipulative woman.
I will say though, she has managed to keep him from drinking himself to death and blowing his own brains out so that definitely more of a success then her organic dog treat business. I love how the author of this excellent informative... ad? Is concerned enough for the market to do the research and find alternatives to those who wanted the product.

P.S - as a supporter of organic and local foods myself I have to say im disappointed. I'm disappointed everytime a fat whale freak like yourself pretend to care about food ethics. YOUR BIG BITCH! AINT NO ONE GONE BELIEVE YOU!
