Hey everyone!
To the point here, I'm a 24 year old, still in school studying comp sci but have been working on a pet project for the past year. It's basically just a bluetooth device usable for short range tracking/monitoring/locating. It's super small and you can attach it to just about anything! Keys, slip it in your wallet, (those stupid apple tv remotes), whatever you'd like to keep tabs on. It was just a hobby for me for awhile, as someone who loses their sh*t on the daily, I could seriously use something like this. So I just kept at it, and here I am.
Now I am at the point where I have this product, prototyped and working to specifications, and have even sourced manufacturing for a decent price, though I would like it to be a bit lower so I can lower the price a bit.
I'm here to seek help from the people of FastLaneForum, and help me bring this project to reality. It's just me on this, prototypes, cad designs and electrical work was all done by a family friend (who works as an electrical engineer). That's the problem, it's just me! I have no idea what to do now, I've got a nice website almost ready to go, and am looking to start promoting this for a month or two before launching it on Kickstarter.
I'm seeking some advice, mentorship, or possibly a partner to help me bring this to fruition! I'd appreciate any advice on where to look on there boards or where to post asking for help.. Thanks a million FLFers!
