Okami Pack
The business, the turning points, and the decisions behind them.
01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Okami Pack was a US-based e-commerce hardware startup. Founder Tim Chard quit his job to pursue his dream of creating the Okami Pack — a survival pack he spent 10 months working on as a Kickstarter project. The project never launched: as the months went by, he started running out of cash and was forced to shut the startup down.
02 / Okami Pack FAILURE REASONS
Failure reasons
The founder ran out of cash before the Kickstarter project could launch. Ten months of work on the Okami Pack never reached a launch, and without funds to continue, the startup was shut down — a classic case of a founder exhausting personal runway on a product that never shipped.
