Hi Backers and Mendi followers,
We have now overachieved 1.44 million and the response from the worldwide community has been extremely humbling. We have now become the most funded Kickstarter project from Sweden, EVER. We couldn't have done this without all of you - so THANK YOU!
As for the updates:
1. We are entering the last 7 days of the campaign so keep feedbacking, sharing and engaging with our team.
2. We have now shipped 4 Mendi working prototypes to backers who have won our giveaway draw. Hopefully they receive them in-time to send us some first-hand experience to share with everyone.
3. We have received a great response on suggestions for schools and non-profits to donate Mendi to - you are all amazing! Please keep those suggestions coming.
4. Here are two videos from our CEO, Moha Bensofia:

Important Update: Money Back Guarantee for All Backers
about 4 years ago
– Fri, May 01, 2020 at 10:08:07 PM
Dear Backers and Mendi followers,
At Mendi, we're committed to making brain training easy to access anywhere, anytime. We know the impact improved mental fitness can have on our daily lives and long term health, and we believe that should be an option for everyone. While Mendi is significantly more affordable than private clinics (which can cost thousands of dollars per session), we understand it still represents a notable investment for some.
As such and as a first step, we're updating our rewards to include a 30-day Money Back Guarantee for everyone. Whatever your motivation may be to try Mendi, we want to provide peace of mind as you strive to strengthen your brain.
What do you have to do now?
=> If you backed the Safe Birds $349 or $678 reward tier, visit the project page and click the “Manage your pledge” button that appears next to your pledge amount. On the next page, select "Change your pledge", and then select the reward tier that you wish to change to - $299 or $578 is now your choice until stock lasts.
=> If you backed the $299 or $578 or $1136 tier - you don’t need to change anything, just keep in mind that you now also get a 30-day Money Back Guarantee with your existing order.
=> If you are just following our project, keep in mind all rewards now include a 30-day Money Back Guarantee and have been amended.
Thank you again for helping us in making brain training accessible worldwide.
Until soon,
Mendi Team

Hi Mendi backers,
we are closing on our 2nd full week on Kickstarter and it's been an amazing ride so far.
Quick updates from our end:
1. Stretch goal 1 has been achieved - Please share in the comments with your ideas for which schools and NfPs to donate to.
=> We will donate devices to 50 schools and 50 relevant not-for-profit organizations
2. We have had some really good feedback from some backers this past weekend so we wanted to share more resources about our background here to be as transparent as possible:
Here are also the full names of the experts mentioned on the Kickstarter page as we received some feedback on as we did not use their full names: Lennart Högman is the Head of Research Department of Psychology at Stockholm University (as in the abstract above), Alan Pope is the Research Associate at NASA, Nurcan Baydaroglu is the Medical Doctor at Hospital of Stuttgart.
We have also updated our FAQs with some additional frequently asked questions and the above experts.
3. We will host a Live Stream event for all interested Backers and non-Backers next week. Our team is working on setting up the event registration page and will share that with all backers this week.
Thank you again for all your support and we hope to reach our next stretch goal together.
Until soon,
Sammy
Incredible first week - Mendi Giving Back
about 4 years ago
– Thu, Apr 23, 2020 at 08:58:54 AM
Hi Mendi backers,
it was been an incredible week and everyone here at Mendi has been completely positively overwhelmed by the response from the Kickstarter community as well as the 673 people (at time of writing) who have never used Kickstarter before and have decided to go on this ride with us. Thank you all so much for all the support and feedback you have given so far. Keep it coming.
GIVING BACK
We have been touched by a lot of stories that have been shared with us by the community. As a way to celebrate the milestone of $500,000 raised, we have decided to give back. We will donate Mendi devices to 25 schools and 25 relevant not-for-profit organizations around the world to make access to brain training easier, simpler and free for those communities.
Also, join us by giving back even more as we reach our stretch goals:
STRETCH GOAL 1: 750,000 USD
=> Mendi will donate devices to 50 schools and 50 relevant not-for-profit organizations
STRETCH GOAL 2: 1,000,000 USD
=> Mendi will donate devices to 75 schools and 75 relevant not-for-profit organizations
Thank you for helping us spread the word! Please comment with your suggestions of schools and not-for-profits you are passionate about that could benefit from Mendi brain training.
Until soon,
Sammy

2. With such an amazing first few hours, our team has decided to give back and will announce the Mendi Giving Back initiative soon via Kickstarter updates.
3. We will be hosting a Live Stream with our CEO and Founders and will share the details of that with all of you as we go along this campaign.
This for now, more to follow soon! Feel free to join our Early Access Facebook Group here, where you can see some of the past Live Stream recordings and engage with our team, founders and CEO directly.
