As a bootstrapped company, venturing into external investment for the first time was both an exciting and daunting step for Snakehive. Naturally, we were cautious about how our community and the public would respond. Would they share our vision? Would they trust us enough to support our goals?
However, our initial concerns quickly faded as we witnessed an outpouring of support within just one week of announcing the campaign. The positive response was not only a validation of our efforts but also a powerful reminder of the faith our community has in Snakehive. It became clear that our supporters believe in Snakehive just as passionately as we do.

Surpassing our initial goal not only exceeded our expectations but also infused us with a renewed sense of purpose.
