Personally I found the funding time period set to short, especially with 
the goal in mind.

The EU media subsidy (200k) for an "open production environment" will be invested anyway. And even with "only" 2150 subscribers, it is giving us sufficient revenues to do great things already. I have a good "plan B" ready, but I hope you accept to only discuss that with you when it's needed. Focus is on winning this!
