FORMAT: Rapid Fire AMA- The team will answer as many questions as possible in 60 minutes!
3. Factory Update
Our CEO, Moha, visited our factory in Småland last week, Sweden and spoke to the quality control team there. Enjoy a video showing the last stage of how they control the quality of Mendis before they get ready for shipping and one if the amazing people helping us build these devices for you (Tina).
Our co-founder Rickard and our hardware team have also been working around the clock with final prototype testing, before we go into final production. Despite countless setbacks due to COVID-19, the team has worked around the clock to make the sure you get the most comfortable and environmentally friendly version of Mendi (these devices have come a long way since the first prototypes were built in early 2018!). See a quick video update from him below:
We are excited to share more detailed info in the coming Updates and AMAs.

Hi Mendi backers and followers,
Thank you, thank you and again thank you for supporting Mendi on Kickstarter! It has been amazing to hear all the feedback, ideas, and words of support from the Kickstarter community and beyond. We have become the most funded Brain Wellness campaign ever and most funded campaign from Sweden - we are humbled and proud of our team, which you are now an integral part of. You, as a Mendi early adopter, will help us build a product that we hope will improve millions of lives in the not so distant future. Do not be surprised if we reach out to you (because we will!).
As there has been huge interest in what we are doing and the community has rallied around our cause, we have now moved our campaign to InDemand. We understand that these are difficult times for many and that even the smallest investment can be a difficult decision and requires careful consideration, so we do not want to deny those who were not able to get their device, the opportunity to do so. This is why just a week ago our team decided to continue offering Mendi, but on Indiegogo's platform. Shipping for those ordering on Indiegogo InDemand will take place in October.
Here are some more updates:
1. We will be sending the backer survey soon, so keep an eye in your emails so you can provide us with all the details we need to get Mendi shipped to you.
2. We have ran an AMA live stream on Wednesday (May 13th) with our team and answered all your questions on the spot. Watch it here.
At Mendi we believe in full transparency and will be repeating this modality on a regular basis!
3. We have had our first 2 backers who won the giveaway draw receive our Mendi prototype, here are their experiences:
Bob (posted via Mendi Early Access Group)
"First session, Mendi. I’ve been fortunate to be chosen as a beta tester for the Mendi device. I own about every self help, biofeedback/neurofeedback device out there. I have a Muse 1,2,S, Myndlift, Halo, Mind Media Nexus 4, Vielight photobiomodulation system, Fisher Wallace device, etc. I’ve also trained with a professional neurofeedback therapist. Today I had my first session with the Mendi device.
I really enjoyed the experience. I did a 15 minute session. It’s very interesting. I could definitely feel it when the app feedback showed improving results. It felt a bit similar to when I’ve done EEG neurofeedback, alpha/beta protocol. That’s when your trying to get in the zone. Increasing Alpha and lowering beta. It seemed more direct and easier to use than EEG neurofeedback. When I got into a very relaxed but focused state the feedback improved. I could feel the blood rushing into my head. When I’d try too hard the score went down. It was very calming. I’m looking forward to doing more sessions with the device. I definitely can see how this could very helpful in many areas...."
