We are now entering November 2019... nothing new from Airing for over 1 year. Last technical update was end of October 2018. See this page:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/airing-the-first-hoseless-maskless-micro-cpap#/updates/all

Lists the following funding:

$2,560,582 CAD by 21,038 backers
$1,178,349 CAD by 9,047 backers on Jul 16, 2015

I'm not sure how they get the first and second numbers. Was this some kind of intial fund-raising and then money they got after as well? So they took the money and started to work on their laboratory research stuff and now will continue until all the funding runs out, milking more investors, private equity firms and everyone else they can until somebody pulls the trigger and ends this sorry excuse of a project.

At least private investors have recourse... they can sue them or fight in court to pull out what is left of their investments, depending on the type of shares and how much control they have. I suppose the crowd-funders are just extra cash in the bank that can be used at will. Can we declare Airing dead already?

I believe the higher number includes the "In demand" phase funds after the initial campaign ends.

The saga continues with the last update in September of 2020, still promising they'll deliver the product.

All that funding can keep you afloat for years!
Maybe they even suckered some more money somewhere?

Gaze not into the abyss, lest you become recognized as an abyss domain expert, and they expect you keep gazing into the damn thing.

These scammers are still at it in 2023! They send me 2-3 emails per week, starting 3-4 weeks ago, about their new MASK product. But they assure they are still working on the original product. The email has an FAQ that ends with

Q. Why does this feel like some sort of scam?

What moron marketing genius would even put such a question in there?

A. Because it is.

Bad enough they send me one email. But many, repeatedly?

A. Because it is.

You mean, that Q&A is literally part of their marketing email?  ;D
Looks like one disgruntled (ex-) employee and many careless colleagues...
