Earlier this week, Kickstarter alum, Cinch! returned to the crowdfunding giant to raise a minimum of $38,764. Within a matter of minutes of (16 actually) the pop-up tent’s campaign smashed its initial goal and now just a few days later has successfully surpassed $275,000 thanks to nearly 800 backers.
Described by its creators as the world’s “most advanced” pop-up tent, Cinch! is solar powered and heat regulated. It also comes with LED lighting, extendable canopies, and equipped for the dark. Project creator, Jake Jackson shared:
“Two years ago, you helped us bring the ultimate pop-up tent to life – and show the big tent manufacturers that you don’t want to compromise on your camping adventures. We delivered our tent to hundreds of backers around the world, on-schedule, and the response has been amazing. But that was only the beginning. Now we’re back with our next generation Cinch! – and thanks to your feedback, we’ve redefined ‘ultimate.’The new Cinch! has a heat-reflective cover, enhanced solar power, and an extended canopy that offers 75% more space – plus the size, quality and durability of a high-spec dome tent with more cool features, all of which pack down within a minute into a small disc-shaped rucksack.”
Sharing his thoughts about the campaign’s already success, Jake noted:
“We had some interest in our new model prior to launch, mainly through our existing customers, who are our greatest advocates, and also through some brilliant coverage online, but we never dreamed it would be received so well.”
Cinch!’s 2-man tent is currently available for the price of £190, while its 3-man tent is £210, and 4-man tent is £230. The tent are set to be delivered to backers in February 2017. The campaign is set to close on September 16th.
