Second Wind Q1 Financial Report! (Jan 1st, 2024 - March 31st, 2024) (Patreon)

Extremely proud to share our Q1 (Jan 1st - March 31st) financial report today! While Patreon has expectedly slowed down, we've increased our revenue from other sources as we stick to our plan of diversifying our revenue streams to never rely on just one.

Starting in January, I set a goal for myself and our Head of Sales, Cisco Araneta, to bring in $20K of sponsorships per month and we've hit or exceeded that goal three months in a row now, including April already!

We've maintained our expenses, spent money smartly as we traveled a lot in March for in-person filming of Adventure is Nigh - Season 4 and GDC, and have sought out other opportunities to raise money like our recent collaboration with Slugfest Games for the AiN Kickstarter.

Overall things are going very well for us, and just like at The Escapist, the team is hustling every day to earn every dollar that comes our way. Our next big event is April 18th which will be a charity event, and then in May we'll do our six-month fundraiser.

We will no longer be doing a Kickstarter campaign for Second Wind. Not necessary at this point, but we will do a fun fundraiser event in May with the goal of continuing to add funds to our Warchest for sustainability as we will be adding insurance to our expenses very soon.

As always, we appreciate all the support you've given us and in May, along with the fundraiser, we have a lot of cool new things to share and announce!
