Hi Backers,

Thank you all for your patience. We have a couple of busy months behind us.

We really made progress regarding production for Knops. We're happy to announce that we found a production partner in AMSTERDAM! Our headquarters is in Amsterdam so this is awesome. This way we're able to easily communicate with our partner. Besides that, and not less important, we can do quality control frequently to provide you a high-quality product.

The whole process of choosing a production partner is a tough one. There are a lot of things that you have to think of. For example, the country of production, costs of production, insurance of quality by the partner and of course the planning. 

We had the luxury to choose from several options and chose the one that best suited our needs in order to deliver a high-quality product in time.

Our production partner started with their production planning this week! So we will keep you posted about the progress.

As we told in our last update, the ergonomics of the housing have been updated. It will have a slightly more slim body, ensuring that the comfort is increased and the fit is nice, snug and slim. We'll show you some pictures of new prototypes in a few weeks.

Besides this news, we also like to tell you that Knops is taking part in the Accenture Innovation Awards! The Accenture Innovation Awards is a year-round program with the goal to create an extensive ecosystem to connect all innovators and to drive innovation together. The award is for the most game-changing innovative concept.

It would be awesome if you could help us by voting for us. You can vote for us by going to this website  and click on the yellow button on the right (saying:"Vote for this innovation"). You can vote once per social channel (Facebook, LinkedIn and/or Twitter). Your vote brings us a step closer to pitch our product in front of the jury! Thank you, we really appreciate it!

We'll be posting updates more regular now! More news soon!

Much love, Team Knops

Hi backers,

This is the very first update since we’re live on Indiegogo. Thank you all very much for supporting us, we really appreciate it!!

At the moment we are very busy with finalizing engineering and with preparing production.

First of all, we can tell you that the ergonomics of the housing have been updated. It will have a slightly more slim body, ensuring that the comfort is increased and the fit is nice, snug and slim.

Besides that, we’re currently in the final phase of production engineering. We will give another update about this very soon.

Not only are we busy with engineering and production. We’re also busy with setting up our own webshop and planning towards the product launch around November.

We’re really excited about everything that’s going on and are still very thankful for your support that makes all of this reality.

We’ll soon give another update about news and insights around Knops. Stay tuned!

Love,

Team Knops
