Daniel Flynn and the Thankyou team have raised almost $480,000 of their $1.2 million crowd-funding target and sold nearly 11,000 of their 'pay what you want' books in only four days.

The crowd-funding campaign has been launched to fund a Thankyou baby care and nappy range, as well as Thankyou New Zealand.

On Friday 26 February, the social enterprise launched Chapter One, a book penned by 28-year-old Flynn, with 100 per cent of the profits to be invested into scaling the business.

The Thankyou baby care and nappy range will fund maternal and infant health programs in Nepal and Tanzania, and Thankyou’s launch into New Zealand will involve the creation of local products, local team members and local charity partners that Thankyou will work with to make a local and global impact.

The third target is a secret, and will be announced once the first two targets have been reached.

The funding tally is being broadcast live on Thankyou's website.
