The Story Behind Ionboard

With their Kickstarter ended, they’ve posted an update that gives a behind the scenes look at how and why the company was created.

This bit cracked me up:

We sold our boards without University permission. The reasons we sold our boards here is that 1) Bank of America also has red color. 2) Students can get cash to buy boards here.

It’s not often we get to see the start of a company’s story like this. It’s an enchanting read.

Good luck, Ionboard. Now, where’s that belt drive Ionpod I lust for?
