I think this formulation of the goal is misleading, since the next goal is clearly not to raise 100k Euros but to get 1000 serious donors.

I think this distinction is very important since it seems to me 100k Euros is almost a no-brainer:
If 200 people each donated 500 Euros* the 100k were reached.
But if you want 1000 preorders then the hard part is not the money but the sheer number of people.

Please fix that goal formulation!
I'm not alleging anything but in the current situation of the project (money is there, people are not) focussing on the money might raise suspicion.


*) I think both numbers are realistic because if the 100k is the only hurdle and the device will cost 500+ Euro anyways donating this amount is basically just a long shot prepayment.
