Am I actually reading that they spent 33.33% or $220k of their investor money on printing t shirts?

#12So they raised $670K (https://blog.kagi.com/safe-round) and spent almost $223K of that on printing dog t-shirts to give away?

#13As a Kagi customer, I hope their choice to allocate nearly a third of their investor-raised funds to produce and freely distribute 20,000 t-shirts doesn’t lead to their demise.
May be a sign that they don't need those funds badly.

Uh… what? Did I miss something important? That sounds like a profoundly terrible move.
Perhaps you missed clicking on the link?

#15Why is their logo the letter g instead of k? Have they considered the risk of a trademark violation lawsuit from their competitor, Google?
As one of the 20K paying members, I feel embarrassed that I hadn't noticed this until now. Because this article presented the idea of wearing a Kagi T-Shirt, I suddenly started to care about what the logo looked like. Also, yes, I am excited to rep Kagi search.

I wonder if they were close with the manufacturer.

Would be about one month of their revenue at current if you want to believe my quick estimate.

#20The product is great. I love that I can pin, raise or lower the importance of specific websites. I average about 800 searches a month, and I have only had to go to another search engine maybe once or twice a week. This product feels like what the web should be.
