    I went for a drive today

    EXECUTION 
    What's amazing to me in reading the comment sections of the various online media they've been featured in, is how many people say "I just put my paint brush in a bag/foil and put it in the freezer." I'm sure he heard that a ton during the development process. Most people would have quit after...

    I went for a drive today

    EXECUTION 
    I remember when I first thought the same thing. It's a realization that the vast majority of people never come to understand - literally every single thing that people look at and interact with, even including "natural" things like manicured/grown/selected plants, were imagined, designed...

    (Spoiler Alert!) Shark Tank Watch Party Live Thread

    Considering that they are in Home Depot starting in a few weeks, I'd say yes :)

    (Spoiler Alert!) Shark Tank Watch Party Live Thread

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I was sad not to see the roller cover in the back pocket! Totally awesome. I'd love to hear the details that were cut out of the show. What an amazing touch at the end - giving her a t-shirt! (my wife and I laughed out loud at that one) You're truly an inspiration to me. Thank you for what...

    (Spoiler Alert!) Shark Tank Watch Party Live Thread

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This feels to me like when VCU (where I went to undergrad) went to the final four, or when the red Sox were an out away from winning the world series-only it's so much more real. Unlike anything else I've watched on tv-I know I can be there myself, standing in the same spot Sal stood in. There...

    It's time! (well - almost, but I thought I'd get the banter started early!)

    Golf Putting Aid

    EXECUTION 
    Also I'd consider creating a premium bundled package, containing the rails, a gate, and access to an instructional video online teaching how to use the devices to improve putting accuracy.

    Golf Putting Aid

    EXECUTION 
    Also consider approaching golf coaches from local high schools and colleges. Do it from the standpoint of conducting a study on the efficacy of this training device vs. a control group (either another training method or no method).

    Golf Putting Aid

    EXECUTION 
    This is a great suggestion. Also, the paint brush cover's success in scaling according to the thead could largely be traced back their successful trade show appearance - the results of which you can watch tonight on ABC at 9.

    Golf Putting Aid

    EXECUTION 
    I passed the kickstarter page along to a friend who is an avid golfer. Here was her response: "Thank you for sharing this device with me. Personally, I don't use many training devices, I probably should it might improve my game. Many times training devices (inexpensive ones) are bundled with...

    Golf Putting Aid

    EXECUTION 
    In all seriousness maybe you should purchase via his campaign page as soon as the kickstarter launches to add some social proof?

    Awesome man - looks like you have things thought through. Keep pushing! There are some awesome resources on here for folks who are making physical products. Looking forward to seeing you blow your kickstarter goals out of the water!

    Golf Putting Aid

    EXECUTION 
    I actually like it the more I think about it from a design and portability perspective. I think you absolutely need to get some user testimonials about how their golf game improved. You also need a PGA pro (even just the local PGA-affiliated instructor) to endorse it in the video, while holding...

    Golf Putting Aid

    EXECUTION 
    I think you'll want to just go to a local golf course, tell them what you're doing, ask them permission to use the demos on their practice green and approach other people with other demo units. Say "I've invented something, I was just wondering if you would mind trying it out and telling me what...

    What was your "Holy Sh*t" moment?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I've had many. Some are good - some are "oh shits" in the other direction. - Attending my great grandfather's funeral as a child. The church was completely full, and everyone came up and shook my hand and told me what a great person my great grandfather was. I was too young to understand, but...

    So I did "idea extraction" and found a few problems

    You got to that potential customer before they did. That's what you did differently then pestpac.

    Have a SaaS Idea? Is it worth it? I'll tell you...

    IDEA SAAS / APPS 
    I hear that's a good system. Too bad there is such a dropoff in quality around your area - I assume it was the same at Richmond. Not to get too off topic, but I always wanted to invent a paramedic assist device that would combine a vent, monitor, AED, autopulse and a computer controlled drug...

    Have a SaaS Idea? Is it worth it? I'll tell you...

    IDEA SAAS / APPS 
    Does your system still require medic intepretation of the 12 lead? Also are you looking at stroke alerts as well? Richmond had a stroke alert program so that patients could get priority transport and treament at a stroke center with appropriate emergency CT and antithrombolytic capabilities.
