    If it were easy it wouldn't be worth it. Ugh ! So the one person I have found so far to actually make me a prototype at a reasonable price sent me an e-mail on Friday saying that his head sewing guy quit and would not be able to produce the Prototype anymore. I am disappointed with this he...

    I have one protype being made. I have a meeting with someone tommorow and hopefully will have 2 in the works after that. My goal is to have a third next week. I put my nose in the dirt last weekend and made a couple thousand to help pay for these. I have not tried to go over seas yet because...

    Sorry for the slow or non responses sometimes I only have so much time and energy and am trying to focus on my quest. I'm doing an artist a favor right now maybe she can help me out. That would probably be better than upwork face-to-face consultations always seem better. You are right! I get...

    Thanks for the push! I think I have the protype as close as I can get it. I want to write down in detail the way I want everything to function this weekend. Then next week start contacting manufacturers. I have been cheating a little. It is easy to get discuraged when your protype is not...

    Start a thread (if you haven't already). There are lots of guys here the help you. When I first started here I was running around posting on other people's threads and didn't get very far until I started my own thread. I was nervous to start my own. Not sure if you are in the same boat.

    Sounds like you already have soft validation if you can solve the problems in the bad reviews. Can you do that and still hit the price point people would pay?

    I am not so great at drawing. So got out the scissors and duct tape. Cut up a few old backpacks and started making a demo to bring to a manufacturer. This was helpful for me I quickly ran into some function problems. Hopefully the manufacturer will be able to make it function better than me...

    You are hitting the nail on the head perfectly with one of my main concerns. I keep asking myself is this backpack just for me or will other people like it. You're right there is so many great backpack companies already out there it is a daunting task to try to research them all and can I...

    I have been here 3 months now and have learned a ton. Anytime I try to talk to anyone in my Social Circle about entrepreneurship it is instant negativity. So thank you all! The hardest thing I am facing right now is focusing on one idea. I get new ideas every day anywhere from App ideas to...

    How did you go about finding someone to build your product? If it is a company that you think would be able to help me would you mind disclosing who they are? I was thinking of putting an ad on Craigslist or trying to find someone local that does Gear Repair and see if they would build me a...

    That is what I thought but didn't know if there was a good way to approach them. I think it may be good to have a prototype before finding a factory because I am going to be pretty specific on the way I want this bag to function. Does anyone have have any suggestion on getting a prototype...
