For the people who believed in Pulp early, or helped it along the way: where the work went, who carried it, and what comes next.

Before you start

It has been a while since many of you heard from us.

Pulp went quiet on the outside while the work went deep on the inside. Seven years of research. A team built mostly by teaching. A product that is about to meet the market. These pages tell that story in order: the question we started with, the long middle where we learned more than we shipped, the instrument we built, the people who built it, and where it all stands now.

They end with a letter from Wen Zhang and a plain-English guide to what we are asking of our earliest investors. If you only have five minutes, start with Wen's letter.
