We’re reaching out to the customer and will be saying thanks … 2 million times 🙂
Update: From the customer!
“I love adafruit, and point out to my daughters that I order cool stuff from adafruit because it’s a woman owned business, and Limor demonstrably shows that its OK to be in tech, be yourself (and have cool hair), although I’m partial to mohawks. Lol.
You guys are freakin’ awesome! I purchased items for my tortoise tracker (yes… really… he escaped and managed to scuttle a mile away or so, while I was like 3d printing, LoRa and GPS for the win!). The fact that I happened to be the lucky customer makes it just that much more awesome.
Thank you so much, and thank you for being an amazing company and a true inspiration” – Old dude with a mohawk.
The first order since we started counting orders this way was placed on October 12th, 2005 for a x0xb0x. Thank you everyone in the community for all the support, everyone here at Adafruit is here because of our community, we do not have loans or venture capital, we are a 100% woman owned, open-source hardware company, manufacturing in NYC, Adafruit exists because of all you. Special thanks to Daigo today as well, good timing. It also happens to be #InternationWomensDay today. And it looks like our CFO Stella guessed what day we’d hit the milestone within 24 hours AGAIN.
Thank you! Ladyada and the entire team at Adafruit.
