Important Company Update

January 31, 2025

Dear Rendyr Community,

Today we are sharing difficult news about Rendyr's future. After thorough evaluation of our situation and extensive exploration of alternatives, we have been forced to discontinue our current operations.

We have communicated directly with our Kickstarter backers and customers via email with detailed information about our journey, the challenges we've faced, and our current situation. If you are a backer or customer and haven't received our message, please check your email or contact us at hello@rendyr.com.

When we launched our new website sales last April, we encountered significant challenges in our transition to sustainable commercial operations. Despite substantial interest and comprehensive marketing initiatives, our sales remained below sustainable levels. What initially appeared to be marketing challenges revealed much broader market challenges, including evolving competitive dynamics and pricing constraints.

We have begun connecting with more established companies that have shown interest and would have the resources to take the Optic Portable Laser Cutter to the next level and support our community. While we are working to establish potential support options beyond Rendyr's existence, we want to be transparent about our current limitations.

We continue to monitor hello@rendyr.com and are working through pending inquiries. We are still working through other open questions and will update our community as we have meaningful developments to share.

Our team has poured their hearts and souls into this project, and we are devastated that we couldn't realize our vision for everything that Rendyr could be despite our absolute dedication.

Sincerely,
Martin Angst
CEO and Co-founder
