Product Design + Development
Designing your product ideas to blend natural beauty with elemental durability.
Several hurdles can surface when designing a product for the outdoors, such as:
Companies often struggle with validating whether their idea truly addresses a market need.
Without proper research, there's a risk of developing a product that doesn't solve a problem or appeal to the target audience.
Concept Validation & Market Fit
Prototyping & Design Complexity
Many people struggle to create a functional prototype that accurately represents their idea.
This often involves learning or outsourcing 3D modeling, CAD design, and finding the right prototyping methods (e.g. SLA printing, CNC machining, injection molding).
Cost of Development
Bringing a product from concept to reality can be expensive, especially for startups or independent inventors with limited resources.
Costs accumulate from design, prototyping, materials, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution.
Even if the product design works perfectly as a prototype, scaling it for mass production can introduce new challenges.
Most designs are not easily manufacturable in large quantities, or they become too expensive or complicated to produce at scale.
Design For Manufacturing (DFM)
Finding Reliable Manufacturers
Finding a manufacturer that can produce the product with the desired quality, at the right cost, and in the appropriate quantities is difficult.
Many first-time entrepreneurs don’t know where to start in finding a trustworthy and capable manufacturer.
Navigating Intellectual Property (IP)
Protecting an idea with patents or trademarks can be a lengthy and complicated process.
Especially if there are similar products in the market, without proper legal protection, entrepreneurs risk having their idea copied by competitors.
