Interesting that you are going for a limited direct to consumer model for your orders. Is this something YC is recommending as means of showing traction? I remember Thalmic (W13) going for a similar approach, though in their case it was a pre order campaign.

We are also exploring other specialized channels with good response so far: - Sunu band is currently being prescribe at NECO Center for Eye Care in Boston as it is proving to be a catalizer in the rehab process of patients who lost their sight. - We are about to start trials with O&Ms (Orientation and Mobility Specialists) from the board of AERBVI (Asociation for Education and Rehabilitation of the Blind and Visually Impaired) to prove the effectiveness of the product to be a complimentary mobility aid and a maximizer in the process of developing O&M skills.
