Why Sunboli Decided to Launch on Kickstarter

At sunboli, we believe in creating a future where sun protection is not only effective but also sustainable. Our journey to designing the perfect eco-friendly sun umbrella has been driven by a mission: to provide shade where it’s needed most while minimising our impact on the planet. But bringing this vision to life requires more than just passion—it requires a community. That’s why we chose Kickstarter as the launchpad for Sunboli.

The Why Behind Our Kickstarter

1. A Community-First Approach

sunboli isn’t just another sun umbrella brand—it’s a movement. We want to build a community of people who care about climate resilience, sustainability, and smart design. Kickstarter allows us to engage directly with our supporters, giving them the opportunity to be part of our journey from the very beginning.

2. Validating Demand for a Better Sun Umbrella

Launching on Kickstarter lets us test market demand before diving into large-scale production. By securing pre-orders, we can gauge how many people truly want a hemp-based sun umbrella that’s stylish, durable, and environmentally friendly. This ensures we produce efficiently and avoid waste.

3. Making Innovation More Accessible

Sustainable materials and ethical manufacturing often come with higher upfront costs. A traditional retail launch would mean higher markups, making it harder for people to access better alternatives. Through Kickstarter, we can offer early-bird pricing and make Sunboli accessible to those who believe in our mission from day one.

4. Raising Awareness About the Need for Shade

Climate change is making extreme heat more common, and the importance of shade is often overlooked in sun protection conversations. Kickstarter gives us a platform to share our message—not just about Sunboli, but about the critical role of shade in protecting people from rising temperatures and harmful UV exposure.

5. Staying Independent & True to Our Values

Rather than seeking investors who might push for cost-cutting measures that compromise our sustainability goals, Kickstarter allows us to stay true to our values. Every decision—from materials to production—remains in line with our commitment to sustainability and giving back.

How You Can Be Part of This Journey

By backing our Kickstarter, you’re not just buying a sun umbrella—you’re helping to launch a movement for smarter sun protection. Plus, for every umbrella sold, we’ll be donating shade to those in need, ensuring that protection from extreme heat is not a privilege, but a right.
