Production Update : November 3, 2023

Dear Musical Tea Kettle Enthusiasts,

It has been a journey of highs and lows as we continue our mission to bring the world's first singing tea kettle to your homes. Here are some of the recent developments:

Investor Update: We recently faced some challenges regarding foreign investment. Our initial potential partners, while aligned with our vision, did not meet our expectations in terms of capital and favorable terms. However, every cloud has a silver lining. We are excited to share that we've initiated a new relationship with a promising investor. More details on this are expected by the first week of December. On a personal note, I faced a setback with a job layoff for the second time this year. This, combined with the capital-intensive nature of our product, has made it challenging to onboard more engineers. Nevertheless, our dedicated team of three continues their hard work, keeping our spirits high and hopes alive.

Production Insights: Our dedication to perfection has led us to remeasure the initial units, focusing on the critical fitment of the main cylinder and the internal shuttle sleeve. Implementing these learnings, we've made necessary modifications to our molds. Excitingly, 50 beta units are currently in the assembly phase. However, with innovation comes challenges. One of our recent beta units faced issues upon delivery to a customer. While shipping disturbances might be a culprit, we acknowledge the sensitivity of these beta units. We're fine-tuning certain elements, like adjusting the durometer of the rubber steam release valve, ensuring that the kettle performs seamlessly without user interventions. The Journey of

Hardware Manufacturing: Drawing a parallel, if you revisit the iPhone's history, two years into its lifecycle in 2010, it had a 26% failure rate. Achieving impeccable hardware quality requires continuous iterations and improvements. We're vigorously working to roll out our first beta units, gather insights, secure capital, and upscale manufacturing. This iterative process will propel us closer to delivering the exquisite quality that our singing tea kettle rightfully warrants. Your unwavering support fuels our passion and dedication. As we navigate these challenges, we are reminded of the love and enthusiasm you've shown for our product.

Thank you for believing in our vision and being a part of this melodious journey. Warm regards, Christian
