Minimalist Wallet Startup - Second Prototype!

Hey all, been working on this minimalist wallet concept for a few months. Just got my second prototype from the manufacturer and it feels unreal to hold a product I designed. It's aluminum, RFID-blocking, and has this cool sliding mechanism for cards. Next step is a Kickstarter campaign. Nervous but excited! pm me if ur into product design or crowdfunding, could use some tips.

I'm curious about the tech behind this sliding mechanism. Is it just a spring, or something more fancy? How much testing have you done on durability? Stuff like that really piques my interest.

This is awesome, congrats on getting to prototype stage! Definitely into product design and have been part of a couple of crowdfunding campaigns. Feel free to dm me. And best of luck with the Kickstarter! Make sure you build a solid email list before launching, it helps A LOT.

With the manufacturing costs and the Kickstarter fees, do you really think you'll be profitable? Lotsa horror stories out there man, just watch your back and do the math.

Love seeing new stuff on Kickstarter. It's all about the pledge levels. Make sure you got early bird specials to create urgency. Also consider stretch goals to keep momentum. Good luck!!

Dude, metal wallets are my jam! Got photos of the prototype? How's the weight? Some can be pretty hefty which kinda defeats the purpose of 'minimalist' lol.

Hey, I've advised on a few crowdfunding campaigns, and I gotta say—video is KING. Make sure your Kickstarter video tells a story, showing the problem and how your wallet solves it, not just features. High-quality images and a clear call to action are essential too. Figure out your unique selling proposition and hammer that home. Lastly, get ready for the grind, post-launch campaign work is no joke, responding to backers, marketing updates, etc.

Super cool that you're addressing RFID-blocking, security's huge rn. Is the sliding mechanism smooth? Got a vid you can share? What's gonna make your wallet stand out against the big players?
