Soloamp project apparently now D.O.A.
Happened to see this on the Kickshark website this morning; copied and pasted it, after not being able to get the "pre-order now" prompt to function.
"SoloAmp is the ultimate lightweight portable sound system for any usage — from singer-songwriters, to school productions, to business meetings. Project now terminated." Several other Kickshark projects were also listed as now terminated. Feel free to discuss (or not). |

Why should we not be surprised?

I'm just disappointed that the Hydradock, Kanga Hoodie & Magic Jib projects have also all been terminated by Kickshark - along with the $$ of several investors, I would imagine...

Deleted my unnecessarily snarky comment.

You sir, are a gentleman.
I, on the other hand, couldn't help myself from posting; my excuse being that it prevented me from posting something on Facebook on a completely different subject matter that is politically inappropriate, thus potentially cheesing off several relatives and what few true "friends" I still have left... |

I do believe the postings on the AGF about the difficulty this company was having probably helped to keep more folks from getting too deeply involved.

Let me see if I understand how this kickstarter thing works.
I can have an idea, collect monies based on presumed future production, then for whatever reason, I FAIL and keep the money? I feel an idea coming on. |

I wasn't going to invest, but I was hoping the project would succeed. I'm genuinely sorry it didn't.

I believe that you are correct, and as I was one of these unsuspecting victims taken in by this "deal," I tried to later do my part to spread the word on this forum regarding this. In the end, I got my money back -- thanks only to the concerted efforts of my credit card company (and despite the protests of SoloAmp and it's proprietor). Still, it was a lot of wasted time and energy spent over the course of more than year. I am relieved that the Kickstarter campaign has ended, as this now eliminates the likelihood that others will also enter into unfulfilled dealings with this organization/individual.

That's really a shame. It seemed from the several videos of the product that it worked quite well and was going to give the other manufacturers a run for their money. Oh well. We'll never know what details caused the project's demise.

Read a recent article about the issues with all the different "crowd funding" businesses. There is a trade organization that has guide lines that if followed get their endorsement. However only a small number of these funding businesses bother to submit the necessary required regular reports.
It's a wild west out there as few "investors" bother to do their "due diligence" before investing. It's a growing problem and sooner or later likely will draw the attention of authorities for rules and regulations. Ops, perhaps under the current circumstances maybe not. |

It's a different product. The fellow that sold the original design to Fishman, has since started and dissolved companies to sell a similar product. However, in each instance he's evidently absconded with the money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
