According to David Attenborough, "live feeds serve as a means of lifeline and communication between us, and the natural world". With such superstar sanction, it's no wonder Bird Buddy bird feeders are doing so well crowdfunding on Kickstarter.
The maker of a 'smart bird feeder', which notifies you when birds come by, takes pictures of them, and even organises these pictures, has quite significantly overfunded it £45K target. With another winter lockdown on the horizon, its 'daily bite-sized connections with nature' come as a welcome antidote.
Equipped with AI, Bird Buddy is able to recognise over 1,000 breeds of bird - even just from the variety of tweeting noise they're making.
Hannun, currently overfunding on Crowdcube, is a Spanish D2C platform for furniture and home goods - with a twist. All its products are made by artisans, with ethics and the environment in mind. It boasts a network of 25+ artisans, based in Europe and working with eco-certified, non-toxic and recyclable materials.
Hannun emerged as a solution to 'fast furniture' - a not-too-distant relative of fast fashion. In Europe, 10M tonnes of furniture is checked every year, with less than 5% of this recycled. It is looking for investment to accelerate its expansion via improved marketing and supply chain. Already Hannun has a social community of 500 strong. It has its sights set on disrupting the European furniture sector, worth circa €30B.
