Amikumu is 100% Funded! | Amikumu estas 100% Financita

  • 0:00 - 0:01
    Hey everyone
  • 0:01 - 0:05
    Evildea here,
    one of the founders of Amikumu
  • 0:05 - 0:08
    I like that a lot, I am very happy now
  • 0:08 - 0:11
    And maybe you know
    why I am already very happy
  • 0:11 - 0:15
    I am very happy because
    we just reached our first goal!
  • 0:15 - 0:19
    We reached it, and that means
    that we will be able
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    to realize this app
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    Amikumu will exist ... in the future
  • 0:24 - 0:27
    It will exist, so I am
    very happy about that
  • 0:27 - 0:32
    And I have to especially thank
    the Esperanto Association of Britain
  • 0:32 - 0:36
    because they helped
    realize this campaign
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    this app, yes
  • 0:37 - 0:40
    They helped us realize it
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    because they just became
    a very important sponsor of ours
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    so we are very happy about that
  • 0:46 - 0:48
    So I just want to say some things now
  • 0:48 - 0:51
    I have a list here in my cellphone
  • 0:51 - 0:54
    because today was too crazy
  • 0:54 - 0:57
    First, of course, thank you all
  • 0:57 - 0:59
    because this app
  • 0:59 - 1:02
    simply could not exist without your support
  • 1:02 - 1:03
    your donations
  • 1:03 - 1:05
    You helped so much
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    It was crazy
  • 1:08 - 1:10
    I almost cried
  • 1:10 - 1:14
    when I saw that Esperantists were
  • 1:14 - 1:16
    so generous, because
  • 1:16 - 1:19
    I remembered that in the past
    many people said that
  • 1:19 - 1:21
    "oh, Esperantists are very..."
  • 1:22 - 1:25
    "...not generous, they
    don't want to give money"
  • 1:25 - 1:28
    But now I just believe
    that they are prepared to
  • 1:28 - 1:29
    They are very prepared to
  • 1:29 - 1:32
    If they see an idea or a project
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    that deserves it
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    And Amikumu, according to me
    and according our sponsors
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    and our donators
  • 1:39 - 1:42
    deserve it, so thank you for that
  • 1:42 - 1:45
    And now some other things
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    I want to especially thank Alex
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    Here is his beautiful face
  • 1:49 - 1:53
    I thank him, because he was the
    100th donator to our campaign
  • 1:53 - 1:55
    And I have to thank him
  • 1:55 - 1:59
    because he complained
    about that on Facebook and said
  • 1:59 - 2:01
    "Oh, what do I win for being the 100th?"
  • 2:01 - 2:04
    So I just thank him
  • 2:04 - 2:05
    And there is
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    Ah yes, I have to say
  • 2:07 - 2:10
    We reached our goal,
    but there are other goals
  • 2:10 - 2:14
    because now we will certainly receive
    the money that you donated to us
  • 2:14 - 2:17
    but there are also stretch goals
  • 2:17 - 2:20
    Stretch goals are simply additional goals
  • 2:20 - 2:23
    So that means that, if we reach them
  • 2:23 - 2:26
    we can do other things for the app
  • 2:26 - 2:29
    So for example, when we reach
  • 2:29 - 2:30
    €10,000
  • 2:30 - 2:35
    we can do much better,
    more efficient marketing for the app
  • 2:35 - 2:38
    And that's very important, right?
  • 2:38 - 2:42
    We need very many people
    to know about the app
  • 2:42 - 2:44
    And there is more
  • 2:44 - 2:47
    And this is our new goal
  • 2:47 - 2:51
    If you can help us reach €20,000
  • 2:51 - 2:57
    that means that you can search
    not only by language but also by interest
  • 2:57 - 2:59
    So for example, if you are an Esperantist
  • 2:59 - 3:03
    and you are interested in,
    I don't know, programming
  • 3:03 - 3:06
    You can search by Esperanto
    as well as programming
  • 3:06 - 3:09
    So you can see other nearby people
  • 3:09 - 3:13
    who are interested
    in Esperanto and programming
  • 3:13 - 3:17
    So that would be very important, because
    then you could find friends better, right?
  • 3:17 - 3:19
    So help us reach that
  • 3:19 - 3:22
    So probably you're now thinking,
    "How can I help?"
  • 3:22 - 3:25
    I know that all of you, my viewers
  • 3:25 - 3:28
    already donated if you could
  • 3:28 - 3:30
    But there are other ways that you can help
  • 3:30 - 3:36
    So for example, if you haven't yet shared
    our campaign using Facebook or Twitter
  • 3:36 - 3:37
    Do that, of course
  • 3:37 - 3:41
    But thirdly, and this is most important
  • 3:41 - 3:44
    The day after tomorrow, or
    maybe we will start tomorrow
  • 3:44 - 3:49
    we will contact all the magazines
    that I know, that Chuck knows
  • 3:50 - 3:52
    And we will write about our campaign
  • 3:52 - 3:57
    And because we so very
    quickly reached out goal
  • 3:57 - 4:01
    they will probably write
    something about our campaign
  • 4:01 - 4:03
    about our app
  • 4:03 - 4:08
    But if we could more quickly
    reach our stretch goals
  • 4:08 - 4:11
    they would be much more
    inclined to write articles
  • 4:11 - 4:13
    So help that way, but
  • 4:13 - 4:15
    if you have contacts
  • 4:15 - 4:19
    So for example, if you know
    someone who works for a magazine
  • 4:19 - 4:21
    or a radio station
  • 4:21 - 4:24
    or maybe bloggers or YouTubers,
    it doesn't matter
  • 4:24 - 4:27
    If they have an audience
  • 4:27 - 4:29
    contact them in our name
  • 4:29 - 4:33
    and then simply introduce them
    to me, to me personally
  • 4:33 - 4:35
    So here is my email address
    for the campaign
  • 4:35 - 4:39
    It's richard@amikumu.com
  • 4:39 - 4:42
    So simply send them to me
  • 4:42 - 4:44
    and I will talk with them
    and we will plan everything
  • 4:44 - 4:47
    So, finally
  • 4:47 - 4:48
    Many thanks
  • 4:48 - 4:52
    You realized this app. Amikumu will exist
  • 4:52 - 4:55
    Amikumu will certainly exist
  • 4:55 - 5:00
    And you can't imagine how happy
    my team and I now are
  • 5:00 - 5:01
    So thank you for that
  • 5:01 - 5:03
    and that is all
  • 5:03 - 5:06
    And I don't want to threaten you
  • 5:06 - 5:08
    because you did what I wanted
  • 5:08 - 5:10
    so thanks, and goodbye!
  • 5:10 - 5:13
    And, like always, I want
    to thank my donators at Patreon
  • 5:13 - 5:18
    But you too can become
    a Patreon supporter, if you want to
  • 5:18 - 5:20

  • 5:20 - 5:22
    So, my donators thus far are
