We bulldozed past our goal of $20,000. All said and done Alter Ur Ego’s Kickstarter ended with 465 backers and raised $28,627!! I can’t say thank you enough to everyone that donated, shared on social media, and helped get the word out. Overwhelmed with the support so many have show our company.

 

A big help in reaching our goal were the articles and media mentions about Alter Ur Ego over the past 30 days. Check out some of the awesome write ups below and keep checking in as AUE rolls closer to our official launch!
