After winning last year’s South by Southwest (SXSW) Accelerator Pitch contest, we returned to SXSW this year to showcase Lampix in a combination of standing and pendant-style hanging lamps in Austin. We hosted a three-day, invite-only activation, never-before-seen apps which impressed industry leaders and pioneers, which dazzled AR and VR VIPs including Charlie Fink (Metaverse Author), Tony Parisi (Unity Technologies), Cathy Hackl (Author, Speaker, Futurist), Dena Dojnik (You Are Here Labs), Darlene Liebman (Howcast Media), and Sam Wolfe (AR/VR Marketing Strategist). Watch our wrap-up video here.

Additionally, we led an extremely well-attended Meetup attracted over 400 AR and crypto developers to discuss Lampix and the PIX token at JW Marriott.

The event dovetailed into the launch of our Kickstarter campaign on March 16. While we did not sign up 500 developers during the incredibly short timeframe, we are nonetheless proud of our efforts when put into perspective —

The crowdfunding website’s success rate of fully funding a project is only 36.02% Moreover, the most common pledge on Kickstarter is $25, followed by $50.

In 30 days, Lampix raised over $64,000 thanks to 150 developers who pledged $350 or more. This is a meaningful show of support from backers including Global Head of VR AR at Unity Tony Parisi, in addition to several major app development houses.

As a result of our attendance at SXSW as well as Mobile World Congress (MWC) in February, Lampix has received a tremendous amount of praise, support, and inquiries. The large number of leads we gathered in Austin and Barcelona resulted in NDAs with six major companies as a direct result of our trips.

At this time, we’re aiming for as many as developers as possible to join the 150 who have already signed up to work with Lampix. We have migrated purchasing to direct sales on our official website. PLUS, as a sign of our personal commitment to the developers community, our Company will still be subsidizing a 50% discount throughout the month of April. We will be raising the price monthly to reward developers who get in early and encourage strong word of mouth as our developers tell their friends.

We look forward to many exciting collaborations. With a robust roster of developers working on apps later this year, we will be able to positively impact every aspect of the PIX ecosystem.

Sincerely,

George Popescu and Mihai Dumitrescu
