We made it to Round 4—and that's because of your support. Thank you.
It's easy to look at something like this as just a competition update, but it's more than that. Every round we move through represents people showing up, taking a few seconds out of their day, and helping us continue to build something that matters.
So I wanted to start this round the same way we've been approaching the rest of this journey—by focusing on impact.
What Impact Actually Looks Like
One of the most meaningful signals we get isn't from metrics or sales.
It's from reviews.
And the ones that stand out most are when a caregiver or family member buys NULU for someone important to them.
That's different.
Because now it's not just about a product—it's about what that product enables inside a family. Someone regaining the ability to cook. Someone contributing again. Someone holding onto independence in a way that might have been slipping.
That's the real impact.
We see these reviews on our site and on Amazon, and I'll keep sharing them throughout the competition because they communicate the mission better than anything I could write.
Where We Stand in the Competition
In my group, we're down to 10 people, and 5 will move forward to the next round. This is a long process, and every round matters.
One important thing to understand: votes reset at each phase, which means we start fresh every time. That's why consistency matters so much.
How You Can Help—And How We're Thinking About It
1. Free Daily Vote This is the foundation. It takes a few seconds, costs nothing, and it's what keeps us in contention day after day.
2. 2-for-1 Voting Days These are the accelerators. On these days, your vote counts double. If enough people show up, it can significantly shift standings.
3. Financial Support (Timing Matters) The platform allows donations that convert into votes. That can make a real difference—but only at the right time. If we're in a strong position, hold off. Save that support for when it's do-or-die. That's when it has the most impact.
Vote and Support
Every vote, every share, every moment of attention moves this forward in a real way.
If you haven't voted yet today, it takes a few seconds and it genuinely makes a difference.

Final Thought
We made it to Round 4 because people showed up.
That's not something I take lightly.
And if we keep showing up—together—we'll keep moving forward.
