We welcome talented, unique, popular and original creators who will build their new homes on Bond and will grow their communities with us.

“letting fans support their favorite actors and directors without middlemen - and potentially even own a chunk of movies or TV shows themselves”
-Wired  

The first version of the Bond Film Platform will provide the basic needs of users and creators to launch their channels. Creators will be able to upload content and invite their fans and followers to our platform and offer stakes in their channels to their followers, or even lease those stakes to them for a designated period of time.

“aiming at the sweet spot between YouTube and Netflix”
-Variety

StartEngine allows funds for new businesses to come from the same people who will eventually reap its benefits: the public! It serves as a Kickstarter for dozens of startups and businesses in the U.S. and will help us reach our financial goal.

And to show our appreciation for artists and filmmakers, we have an awesome offer to the first 50 creators who will join the Bond platform! We will give each creator 100K BFP tokens as a welcome gift! (initial price of 1 BFP = 10 US cents) Ready to join our project?  Visit www.Bond.pm to be part of the future of content!

Crowdfunding Corner: CutNGo Could be a Lifesaver

Most of us just instinctively put on our seat-belts and never think about then again as we drive or ride.

The only locked on, self-enclosed, manually guided, childproof seatbelt cutting device.

CutNGo


The CutNGo is a childproof device that cuts your seat belt safely and quickly. It can also be used to break your window to escape your vehicle faster. Two reasons why this is one of the most effective safety tools ever!

CutNGo is designed as a complete awareness kit, with included stickers that show you exactly where to strike your vehicle's window so you can escape quickly in the event of an emergency. First responders will also see your vehicle is equipped with CutNGo if you need assistance.

Stephen P. Souders, The Cut N Go company owner and inventor, said he got the idea for his product a couple of years ago when watching a news report about a policeman wading through water to help save people trapped in a car by their seat belts.

“That was always my fear during all of my driving through the years,” Souders said. “The idea hit me like a brick and I went to my dining room table and drew it up, the logo and all. The Cut N Go is always there when you need it. It's the only locked on, self-enclosed, manually guided, childproof seat belt cutter on the market. The quality of the material of my product will withstand the force of an accident. The Cut N Go can be moved anywhere on the belt to be more easily accessed and used in wide range of car accident situations. The fact that it is self-enclosed makes it safe around children. At no time can a child access the blade. With the handle design, I feel anybody can use it whether you have big hands, small hands, fat fingers, skinny fingers, and maybe even injured fingers. It’s truly a complete personal vehicle extraction kit. My mission is to help save lives through producing a unique product.”

Step 1: When needed, simply lift the CutNGo into position and open. It's so simple, that in the moment you need it, you will know exactly what to do.
Step 2: To cut the seatbelt and break free, just pull the lever away from you.

Step 3: If you need to escape through the window, use the built-in tungsten carbide tip to easily break the car window and escape in seconds. This is safer and more effective than using your hand, elbow, shoe, or anything else we've heard people try to use in these dire situations.

The Cut N Go has launched an Indiegogo campaign, https://www.indiegogo.com/ projects/the-cut-n-go-the- safest-seatbelt-cutting- device-cars-family#/, to spread awareness about their product among consumers and the investment community.

Super Early Bird Single Pack
Super Early Bird gets double the worm and savings! You'll receive The Cut N Go single pack, that comes with 2 devices, at 50% off the retail price! You will also receive the Cut N Go awareness kit stickers to notify you, good samaritans, and first responders that you are Cut N Go Equipped.
