Hello OG Backers! 

We're jumping into your inboxes with some very exciting news...

Kickstarter #4 Launches Next Week 

Next week on October 28th at 10 am EST, we’ll be launching our fourth Kickstarter.

Meet Shower Power: The Hydropower Shower Speaker

As the name suggests, Shower Power is a waterproof Bluetooth speaker that’s powered by the water from your shower, so it always stays charged and it never needs to be removed. It installs easily onto any existing showerhead and as well as using renewable energy, Shower Power is also made with 100% recycled ocean plastic. It’s eco-friendly, but trust us, it also boasts some impressive sound.

Why Launch Now?

After two years in the making and with everything that’s happened this year we thought that it was the perfect time to launch Shower Power. We’re all listening to more content than ever before (this news cycle is unlike anything we’ve seen, right?) and we’re all spending more time at home too (thanks, COVID!). So Shower Power is designed to improve your living space and let’s face it, bring you some fun in the shower. Our ambitious goal is to have it delivered by the end of the year too.

Hey Unravelers! 

Earlier today, we hit the "go live" button on our next campaign — CHECK OUT CELL.

Cell hit its funding goal in 45 minutes and is now at almost 300% of its goal! We've already seen a lot of familiar Unravel faces on the wall — thank you to our OG backers for your continued support!

Cell is a UV Sanitizer and Wireless Charger. Using the power of UV-C technology, Cell can clean your smartphone (or anything else that fits inside) in one minute. And it's also a powerful wireless charger. Cell boasts two 15W coils to create a larger charging zone, allowing for easier placement of your device to wirelessly charge.

Unravel IGG Backers Get a Free UV Self-cleaning Bottle in First 48 Hours

Join us on our next campaign and back Cell in the first 48 hours to get a FREE UV self-cleaning water bottle (valued at $89). It's an exclusive offer to our OG IGG Unravel backers and it's our thank you to you for helping us get off the ground. 

Get Cell here. 

Almost 500 backers have already pledged to make Cell a reality. If you haven't yet backed the campaign there's now only 34 hours left to get your free UV water bottle! 

We will manually add your free UV Water Bottle to your order (via Backerkit) after the campaign ends.

Hey OG backers,

It’s Chase here just checking in. It’s been a while since we’ve posted an update over here and we hope you’re all staying safe right now, what a crazy year it’s been.

The reason why I'm dropping an update today is that we have an exciting launch announcement.

We're excited to share more details about Cell — our new UV Sterilizer and Wireless Charger.

You’re the first to see these images and more will be revealed when we launch the campaign TOMORROW at 11 am EST.

Yep, that’s right. We’re launching Cell tomorrow — Tuesday, July 21 at 11 am EST.

Cell comes equipped with four powerful UV-C lights and can kill 99.9% of germs on your phone in one minute. But where it also shines is its wireless charging (after all, we are Ampere) — it comes loaded with 2 x 15W wireless charging coils to fast-charge your Qi-enabled devices.

Because you’re an OG backer, we’re giving you an exclusive offer. Come back and join us on our next campaign and we’ll gift you a UV Self-cleaning Water Bottle worth $89 when you back us within the first 48 hours!

Fri May 8 '20 Announcement

Hello backers,

It’s been a while since we’ve posted an update. We just wanted to say hello and acknowledge everything happening right now. We hope you are all being safe.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, behind the scenes at Ampere we’ve asked ourselves — what can we do to make a positive impact? Our first order of business was to ensure the health and livelihoods of all our employees — everyone at Ampere is practising safe remote working and everyone, thankfully, has remained healthy. On top of that, our manufacturing partners and logistics providers are also working with the strictest hygiene standards while we continue to make and ship our products. 

But beyond that, we know that we can do more.

We have teams on the ground in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong and we’re able to source and secure certified PPE equipment that is greatly needed for healthcare workers on the frontline in the US. After several weeks of vetting suppliers, we are ready to utilize our supply chain to help move medical equipment where it is needed most. 

Choose What You Pay and Give Back

Last month, we launched a Choose What You Pay initiative of up to 30% off.  A portion of all purchases made on Ampere.shop in April has gone towards purchasing much-needed PPE for our healthcare workers. 

In the month of April, we've been able to donate 500 KN95 masks and 2,000 surgical masks!  

We'll be running this Choose What You Pay offer for one more day, so if you place an order in the next 24-hours on our website, it will directly contribute to the purchases of medical PPE. There are four discounts for you to choose from:

30% OFF
     You get 30% off + 0 masks donated
      Use code: AmpereFunding

20% OFF
     You get 20% off + 1 KN95 mask or 12 surgical masks donated  
      Use code: StrongerTogether

10% OFF
     You get 10% off + 2 KN95 masks or 24 surgical masks donated  
      Use code: StaySafe

Full Price
     You pay full price + 3 KN95 masks or 36 surgical masks donated
      Use code: No code necessary!

Please note: while the number of masks we are able to donate with each order is not huge, these are fully vetted masks; there has been a global issue with counterfeits, so the need for secure certified PPE products is even greater than ever (but this does make these masks very expensive). We've also allowed hospitals/charities to request their preference. To read more about how we are sourcing and vetting the PPE, get all the info in this link.

What the Initiative is Applied To 

Discounts and the PPE donation is applied to items on our website that are priced $68.99 or above. Which includes both Unravel AW+ and Unravel 3+1,

Our beast of a power bank, Power Cube. 

And a couple of new products, which are now live on our website.

Including Full Circle, our new wireless power bank. 



And HyperCube, a bedside wireless charger and sleep aid. 

What We’re Up To These Days

Behind the scenes at Ampere, we are doing everything we can to keep our team members safe, while ensuring the continuity of our business. We’ve continued to share fun content on Instagram, fulfil your orders and, most importantly, to create new and innovative products that you will love using every day on your journey through life.

If you need anything from us, we’re still here and ready to help. You can always get in contact with us by emailing us at [email protected]
