Turn an Audience Into a First Run
You have an audience and a product idea. A waitlist turns followers into funded buyers, and 01 gets the product made.
Start a designThe problem
Hardware costs too much to start
Your audience wants the product and you have never run a factory. A drop that nobody paid for in advance leaves you with inventory or with refunds.
What you skip
- No inventory risk
- No a fulfillment team
- No order minimums you cannot afford
What you bring
A waitlist page
Each design gets a public page with its price, the next price break, and the count needed to start.
Charged at trigger
Fans save a card. Nothing is charged until the run starts.
A ship date up front
The date shows before anyone joins. If it slips, buyers are told and can ask for a refund.
