After the launch in August last year we had a six month period of demoing, planning for the next iteration and fundraising. Uli has been moving full steam since March of this year. But in the busyness of getting the next phase launched, we forgot the lovely ritual of these email updates! We are remedying the situation and will send you monthly(ish) updates for the next year of development. -There are so many details in different tracks within the Uli project, that it is difficult to figure out where to start.

So this is what we are changing this year. We are iterating on Uli in close partnership with four fantastic organizations: +There are so many details in different tracks within the Uli project, that it is difficult to figure out where to start.
