My Wife's New Invention

[BioBanker]

Just bounced this off of the most militant environmentalist I know.

She says:

She'd never buy it because the food is touching plastic. She says steaming in plastic leaches chemicles into the food, especially if the food is acidic.

She strongly suggested that you make as much of what touches food metal.

She agreed that most would buy it with the plastic though and only the conscientious would not.

LOL...you said 'militant.'

How weird. I was just thinking about this thread yesterday.

My wife brought it up. Our little one is due in November, and in about a year or so she will be looking for a product like this one.

I figured i would revive the thread hoping for an update. I also PM'd the OP.

The email address from the website is a dead link- I got MailerDaemon'ed

No updates yet. I had a bad falling out with the engineering company that was producing our prototypes because he kept asking for more money, and the prototypes he was showing me were not even close to where they needed to be to be displayed at trade shows.

I recently contacted a high end engineering company in Research Triangle North Carolina, and I need to invest $80,000 to $100,000 to make a fully functional prototype that is ready for prime time.

I recently started a solo law practice, and I really can't afford to make such an investment right now. So, the project is on hold indefinitely. Any ideas?

The most obvious that come to mind would be:
#1 If you truly believe in this idea and think it is a sure hit then simply borrow the money. If i had an idea that i knew couldn't miss and had no funds to proceed i would mortgage my house to make it happen.

#2 Get investors. If your not so sure and don't want to risk your money then find people who are willing to. I have people all of the time try and buy into my company and i'm not even trying to sell it so i am sure that if you marketed the idea to people who have the money to invest and they thought it viable then you should easily to be able to come up with the funds you need to proceed.

#3 Forget about it. I can't tell you how many ideas i have had in the past that were sure fire moneymakers but i simply didn't have the time or money to pursue them.

You must be a pretty smart guy with some available resources if your able to start your own law practice so you have to ask yourself one simple question; which is a better investment, your law practice or your wife's invention?

Hi,
PM me, I think I can help. We have a 20,000 sq ft. manufacturing company that can make almost anything from scratch. Do you have the drawings? or is that something that must be done as well? Do you know what type(s) of material to use?

If you'd like you can pm me or email me for further assistance.

Take Care and good luck,
Hedi
