2014 Crowd Funding Campaign

The funds from the campaign will be used as follows :

- We will upgrade the system to support the necessary scaling for the expansion to the larger public user population
- We will add new features to the Android version of the Fish Dispatch App
- We will create a new Apple iOS version of the Fish Dispatch App
- We will overhaul our private portal website to handle features needed for public e-commerce uses
- We will open new territories to the system incrementally to balance loading on our servers
- We will develop the legal franchise framework for the public to join us as owner operators of their own territory

Crowd Funding Q&A
What do I get for my donation? For each dollar you donate, we will credit you one day of our Novice Class subscription service (upon upgrade of the system). At $180 donation, we will provide you one full year of the Novice Class subscription service. We will credit you two years of the same service for a $360 donation. We added many other "perks" that include the Columbia fishing shirts with our logo and charter fishing trips. Although you are welcome to make donations beyond those amounts, we would recommend that you consider buying a territory and becoming an Owner Advocate.
