Your July Customer Update
For your convenience, below you can find the contents of the most recent Vestaboard Customer Update email, which was sent early July. We'll be sending one Customer Update email per month and posting more often here in the portal.
Thank you for being a customer of Vestaboard! We are thrilled to be in production for you and our community of nearly 2,000 customers with almost $4 million in reservations. Here is your latest Customer Update.

Meet the team
From our main office headquarters near the Bay in San Francisco, California, to team members in Montana, Oklahoma, Arizona, Alaska, Canada and China, the people behind Vestaboard are connected by a shared passion for inspired communication and design. Amongst our geographically diverse team, we’ve already sponsored two U.S visas, for Dominic (Ottawa, Canada) and Moustafa (Egypt). We would also like to congratulate Faiza, our lead product designer and mechanical engineer, who became a US citizen last year after immigrating from Bangladesh! You can learn more in the Team post in the Customer Portal here.
Production and Shipping

We are so excited to be farther along the way in production! The Bit is by far the most important and complex component, with each Vestaboard containing over 100 Bits and each Bit containing nearly 10,000 split- flaps. Our testing has demonstrated great success of our product so far. We have been running the final prototyped Bits in our offices 24x7 every 10 seconds for the last eight weeks and counting, which confirms that the Bits will be highly reliable inside Vestaboard! You can log in to the portal to read the updates in full, and to see the videos of the Bits in action. We'll be sharing a post of the evolution of the Bit very soon as well.
Also in the coming weeks, we'll be sending another Customer Update email including a customer story from one of our digital prototype testers. In the meantime we'll be posting more portal updates to share more photos, videos and stories. You can follow us on instagram @vestaboard for more news, and you can always view the Vestaboard prototype by appointment in San Francisco.
Thank you, and we hope you are enjoying the Customer Portal!
