A tiny creature you can actually hold.
A small round Push Pets device with a color screen, three buttons, and a numbered founder package. This first run is about making the object feel real before the retail shelf opens.
Founder Proof #001 is the first small Push Pets run.
Built for people who want the first physical proof in hand: the device, the package, the ritual, and the small-batch details.
WHY FOUNDER PROOF EXISTS
Founder Proof #001 is the first physical read of Push Pets: a small, hand-built run that proves the pocket ritual before a standard retail shelf exists.
Each unit is flashed, tested, sleeved, and numbered by hand instead of coming off a finished factory line.
Raise the creature on the device itself: hatch, care, play, evolve, and archive without a phone login.
The on-device archive keeps a trace of past lives so the prototype feels owned, not streamed.
Collector sleeve, certificate, USB-C cable, and numbered card make the first run feel like a real object.
Checkout stays closed until the notify list gets the first window and the drop timing is clear.

PROTOTYPE NOTES
This page is for the people who want the first build in hand: the shell, the firmware, the archive, and the small imperfections that prove it was made before the line got bigger.
A physical prototype, not an app funnel.
Creature discovery lives on the hardware. Care history, game wins, and the device seed decide what the archive remembers.
- BUILDFP001-S3A firmware on a round color device with three tactile buttons.
- RUNSmall numbered batch, hand-tested before the notify list gets the drop window.
- ARCHIVEPast lives become on-device cards you can browse without an account.
- PROOFFounder units validate the ritual before retail colorways take over.
HAND-BUILT IN TAMPA
Soldering iron. Foam stand. Index card stamped #001.
The Founder Proof series isn't a factory run. Each unit is flashed, tested, sleeved, and signed by hand on a workbench in Tampa, Florida. The "001 / 100" card next to the device is the same card that ships with it. The soldering iron isn't a prop.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX
ABOUT THE DROP

Honest pricing. First-batch units are priced roughly at cost — parts, USB-C cable, sleeve, hand-numbered card, postage from Central Florida. We don't make money on Founder Proof #001. We make a product worth being proud of.
