***EXCLUSIVE UPDATE***

Dear beloved PanQuake Community:

We have some goodies for you! This has been an incredible week, with your love, support, contributions, commitment and advocacy surging us above 35% of our initial funding goal in just a matter of days. We have been inundated with excited and encouraging messages from the public via social media and our communication channels and our dedicated support team have genuinely enjoyed interacting with you.

In the background, we've been doing vital things like refining business processes, workflows and exploring opportunities to ensure we can do the best possible job of serving the incredible user base that is already forming around PanQuake. We've also been recruiting some even more amazing people who you will likely know and love, to join our expanding team! More on this soon. :)

In the foreground, our Media Director Taylor Hudak has begun booking appearances and the first of these, with Peter Lavelle on CrossTalk is now available for your viewing pleasure: You can view the full show here or if you would prefer to listen to the audio, there is a podcast version of the show available too. In it, Taylor and PanQuake co-Founder Suzie Dawson appear alongside PanQuake endorser, comedian Lee Camp and do an excellent job of commentating on why PanQuake is so relevant in the current sociopolitical context. Expect more fantastic media appearances from our crew in the coming days, weeks and months!

There will be one more important campaign update later today with an accompanying press release, which will be very much of interest to anyone who wants to know more about our business model, the technical architecture behind PanQuake, or further details about how we'll be rolling out this product to the public, so please keep an eye out for that.

It's important to us to strike a balance between keeping you updated on what is happening with PanQuake, while not constantly bombarding your inbox! So we ask: please let us know, would you like more or less frequent updates from us? We love consulting with our community and will follow your lead. Please email your comments to [email protected] and simply put "More updates please!" or "Less updates please!" in the title of the email and we will tally the results and act on your wishes.

Thanks so much for everything you are doing to expedite the build of this project. Ultimately, the more funding we get from the public, the more talented people we can hire to build this product faster, and the sooner we get it into your hands. So your continued circulating and promotion of our donation link is bringing PanQuake to the world faster. We see hundreds of you are doing exactly that, every single day, and ultimately you and your efforts are propelling this technology forward. Because we aren't backed by any corporate or government funds, YOU collectively are our PR team, and you are kicking butt and we love you for it!

We will write again later today, with news about this weekend's upcoming event.

Until then,

- The PanQuake Team
