I work in sales for athletic field tools and equipment. I have no passion for it! Luckily, my campaign has been funded and I can move on to something I enjoy.

My day job is in software QA engineer for ONTRAPORT, a small but growing company in Santa Barbara California. It's a great place to work, with cool passionate people, and a product that helps entrepreneurs so I consider myself lucky.

My passion project is trying to bring my first real "invention" http://omni-pot.com to life.

I have always been a dreamer. Ever since I can remember I a have had "ideas" on how to improve things, take them to the "next level" or how to solve an annoying problem with a "million dollar product".

I know this is nothing special. Many, many people have great ideas. "Ideas are cheap" as "they" say and they are right.

One thing that I do, that some don't, is write my ideas down. It has helped me and I suggest every "idea guy" out there, like me, do the same thing. Big ideas, little ideas, save them all. You never know when and how those ideas might instigate others or if your lucky, see the light of day when you find the right partner or get the right inspiration.

That is the point I am at now. With the help of a $267 3D printer and a lot of help from my mechanical engineering friend Dave, the first of my inventions has made it through prototyping and is now on Kickstarter!

I am of course excited and proud but the campaign is not going as I had "dreamed". I of course know it's time to stop dreaming (once again) and start fixing the problems.

Wish I had found this forum before launch but like many, I tend to only read instructions when I cannot figure it out on my own. Well at least I am not to proud to seek help when needed and it's needed. There is a LOT to learn.

Now that I have taken the step from "dreamer" to "inventor" I have to now overcome the even bigger hurtle of become a "successful inventor"! That's the real trick!

Hope we can help one another get there. There's nothing better than a Win Win.

I guess that's another passion of mine, creating more Win Wins in the world at all levels.

Thanks for your time!

Hi Everyone,

Day Job = Commercial Airline Pilot taking people all over the world & my better half was a flight attendant.

Passion Project is my current Project called TabletHookz, travelling with young kids on airlines who no longer offer In flight entertainment we needed something that wasn't available on the market and so set to work. We wanted to create a mounting that could be used anywhere on an aircraft for holding tablets & smartphones, was strong to withstand turbulence and/or kids and those passengers who like to sit in their seat as hard as they can - sending your drink everywhere !

Our project has evolved through kickstarter feedback and now we are adding stretch targets so TabletHookz can be used with adapter in the car too, so that TabletHookz will be one secure mounting for everywhere !


Our first campaign was unsuccessful. Seeking a lot of feedback from the community we are now on launch 2 - been going for 13 days and 70% funded, please checkout our campaign https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ta ... ref=csyrj6

Thanks
Mike

I am doing an academical research on crowdfunding whose purpose is to better understand which are the factors that drive people to invest in crowdfunding and which are the factors that demotivate them from using it. The survey takes 5 minutes and it can be important to understand crowdfunding a bit better. I would be very thankful if you could fulfil it: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIp ... sp=sf_link

I work on this project full time at the moment. I hope to continue doing this. My passion is great product design and doing cool projects. I found out that I perform the worst in structured working environment.

Hi Lowkey,

Thanks so much for the kind words, we need them at this evening of the launch! The goal is artificially low, so we can meet it and get the project funded.
