Hey everybody,
At the end of this month I will be starting a new full time job. I am not closing Granola and I expect to keep making and selling controllers for y'all, but it will no longer be my main focus. This means some changes to how I am doing things, with the common theme being that I will have much less time on my hands:
- Expect lower stocks on hand for most controllers, and controllers may go out of stock more often.
- I will still provide great support, but it may take longer for me to reply to folks in some circumstances.
- The store will occasionally close if I am traveling or just overwhelmed.
- I am ceasing most efforts to promote my controllers. If you like my stuff please tell your friends! But I will not be actively trying to grow the business in the same way that I was before.
It's not all bad news, though. Since I won't have to worry about Granola paying all of the bills, I will be able to make more investments in the business and maybe even buy some new equipment to do new things. I am hoping that even though you will see less of me, the reduced financial stress will help me design even bigger and better projects for you to enjoy.
I generally consider Granola to be a success, and it was not an easy decision to take this new job. I wasn't expecting or looking to step back from this business anytime soon, but an unexpected opportunity came up and I decided to go for it!
I am endlessly thankful for everyone who has been part of this journey so far. I didn't expect Granola to come as far as it has in such a short time, and I am very hopeful that there is still a long road to come. If you bought one of my controllers or even just participated in the community, I want to thank you SO much for believing in me and my products. See you on the trails!
- Mike
