The play in seven steps

1. 01

   Find campaigns that slipped

   Kickstarter

   What you pull

   Funded campaigns past their estimated delivery: amount raised, backer count, the new date in updates, and how many comments ask about shipping.

   Why it matters

   Backer comments are public pressure. The backer count sizes the job.

   Example

   $340k from 4,200 backers · delivery moved to March · 60 comments about shipping this month

2. 02

   See when the goods land

   Tendata

   What you pull

   Import records for the creator's company: arrival date, port and quantity.

   Why it matters

   Goods arriving means fulfillment has to start. It tells you how much time they actually have.

   Example

   1 container arriving Long Beach in January

3. 03

   Check where it has to go

   Firecrawl

   What you pull

   The campaign and store pages: countries they ship to and any add-ons.

   Why it matters

   International backers and add-ons are what make fulfillment hard. They change the quote.

   Example

   Ships to 30 countries · 3 add-on items

4. 04

   Build the fulfillment plan

   Your artifact

   What you build

   A quote for their backer count with kitting and international lanes, and a timeline from container arrival to the last package.

   Why it works

   It gives the creator a date they can post in their next update.

   Example

   4,200 orders · kitting with add-ons · 30 countries · all shipped by mid-March

5. 05

   Check before you send

   Some creators already have a fulfillment partner. Read the latest update first, and only promise a timeline you can hold.

6. 06

   Find the creator in Glider

   Glider

   FounderCreatorOperations lead

   Why them

   The creator is the one answering every backer comment and will decide fast.

   What you get

   A work email and a direct phone, with the email verified before it goes into a sequence.

7. 07

   Send the evidence, then run the first test

   Your campaign raised $340k from 4,200 backers, and this month's comments are mostly about shipping now that it's moved to March.¹ Your container lands in January² and you ship to 30 countries.³ Here's a fulfillment quote for that volume with kitting, international lanes, and a timeline that has everything out by mid-March.⁴ Want to walk through it?

   • Facts from the data (the number is the step)
   • What you built for them
   • One small ask

   Why it works

   It speaks to the pressure the creator feels every day and gives them a date they can tell their backers.

   First test

   Fifteen funded campaigns with recent delay updates.

   Success looks like

   Two fulfillment contracts out of ten delayed campaigns.

The sample message is hypothetical and its numbers are illustrative. Verify every claim, date and rule before sending.
