Exciting News! Survey smoke test just went out and soon everyone will receive an email from us with a link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.

With surveys we also kick off the backerkit pre-order store which you can visit directly. If you missed the campaign this is your last chance to take advantage of our campaign pricing. 

Important reminders:

✔️ We currently have 17 failed pledges in BackerKit. If your payment did not go through, please log in to update your payment method so your rewards can be secured and prepared for fulfillment.

✔️ Check your credit card info. Cards will be charged for shipping and any add-ons you’ve selected. Please make sure your information is up to date to avoid any delays!

✔️ Double-check your shipping address. Addresses will lock shortly after the deadline.

I’d love for you to join me for what’s next:

Launching in August as part of Pocket Change 2026. Explore the sweeter side of the Guardians of the Cosmos with a collection of adorable mini pins inspired by the little things that bring joy. Up to 1 inch in size, these tiny treasures are perfect for mixing, matching, filling display gaps, & collecting.

What an incredible journey!

Thanks to your amazing support, Pride Pals is now fully funded and every stretch goal has been unlocked! We couldn't have done this without each and every one of you. 

Achievement Unlocked: Certified Queerdo!

We have officially completed our first community achievement, which means every backer will receive a FREE "Certified Queerdo" mini button as a thank-you for helping make this campaign such a success.

Next Achievement: 200 Backers

We're currently at 175 backers, and our next milestone is just around the corner. If we reach 200 backers, every backer will receive a FREE die-cut sticker added to their rewards. 

New Community Achievement Revealed! 

And now it's time to reveal what comes next! If we reach 1,535 followers on BackerKit, every backer will receive a FREE Mystery Pride Pin added to their pledge.

We're already getting close! One easy way to help unlock this reward is to make sure you're following Geekhive Labs on BackerKit. Then, if you know someone who might enjoy Pride Pals, invite them to follow the us too. Every new follower helps us move closer to unlocking a FREE Mystery Pride Pin for every backer!

Let's Keep the Momentum Going

Thank you again for helping make Pride Pals such an incredible success. Your support has unlocked every stretch goal, our first achievement, and helped us build an amazing community around this project.

Let's see if we can reach 200 backers and 1,535 followers before the campaign ends!

4 Stretch Goals Down, One More to Go!
about 1 month ago – Wed, May 27, 2026 at 09:01:56 AM



We did it, funded in under 20 minutes!

Thank you all so much for the incredible support at launch. Pride Pals reached its funding goal and has already unlocked 4 stretch goals! I couldn't be more grateful or excited.

Because of your amazing support and momentum at launch, Geekhive Labs also received its first feature on the BackerKit homepage! Seeing the project highlighted there was incredibly exciting, and it would not have happened without all of you sharing, pledging, commenting, and helping the campaign grow.

Now we're aiming for our final stretch goal... and maybe even one more beyond that. Every pledge, share, comment, and recommendation helps us get there.

Reminder for Early Supporters
If you reserved a spot during the pre-launch campaign but haven't completed your pledge yet, don't worry, your Early Support credit will still be applied when you pledge. However, you must complete your pledge in order to receive your rewards, freebies, and any unlocked stretch goals. I'd hate for anyone to miss out!

Early Bird Freebie Ends tomorrow
Just a quick reminder that the Early Bird reward ends on Thursday, May 28 at 12:00 PM EST. Backers who pledge before then will receive the exclusive Pastel Pridefin Heart freebie. If you have friends who have been thinking about pledging, now is the perfect time to share the campaign so they can still claim the Early Bird bonus before it's gone.

Thank you again for helping Pride Pals get off to such an amazing start!
