Now let’s get on with the show.<br> <br> Roy Morejon:<br> Welcome to another edition of Art of the Kickstart. Today I am joined with Nick Hamburger with the Quevos Campaign. Nick, thank you so much for joining us today.<br> <br> Nick Hamburger:<br> Yeah. Pleasure to be here. Thanks for having me, Roy.<br> <br> Roy Morejon:<br> Yeah, so the original egg white chip. I’m really excited about this campaign and this project. You guys crushed it on day one. You hit $10,000 goal on the first day, in the first two hours. These high protein, low carb chips made from egg whites, I’m really excited to obviously taste them, once you guys send them out. Four different flavors. The campaign’s done over 50K so far. Over eleven hundred people have backed this campaign.<br> <br> Roy Morejon:<br> So I’ve got to start with where the inspiration come from to create Quevos?<br> <br> Nick Hamburger:<br> Sure, yeah. So I’ll take you back about two and a half years ago. My co-founder and I had just graduated high school, so we had a lot of time on our hands that summer. He was making eggs which are kind of a stand-by for him, because he’s type 1 diabetic. So eggs are low carb. Great convenient snack for him.
