Hello, I am Kevin from the Chicago area. I am seriously toying around with the idea of a kickstarter or gofund me to start a bespoke pen business to make some extra throwing around money. I have some social media momentum already and have seen how valuable Instagram is for starting a successful brand. I am a mechanical engineer by trade and have many ideas to fill gaps in the fountain pen market. The resurgent buzz of the fountain pen market doesn't seem to be slowing down and I want a part of it! Right now trying to learn as much as my can and am starting to determine if I want to make the plunge. College is expensive, and I would love to earn some extra money to help save for my one year old's college education!
