 Drink Safe Water Wherever You Go with the CrazyCap | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 18:42

One of the challenges of travel is worrying about where you will find safe water. You can’t assume that you’ll be able to find bottled water at every turn. Some countries have very different standards for what they consider safe water. What is the solution? Dr. Rakesh Guduru has developed an amazing product that takes all the worry and concern over safe drinking water out of the equation. In our conversation, Rakesh opens up about what inspired his invention of the CrazyCap, how he prepared for the campaign launch on Kickstarter, what the development process was like, why he chose the campaign video he used, and much more. Don’t miss a minute of this engaging episode featuring Rakesh and CrazyCap! Your frustration could lead you to a profitable solution. What will be the next major invention to catch momentum and go viral? How can you predict which ideas will take off and capture the public’s imagination? The next great invention could be a solution to a common frustration. Rakesh was concerned about where he’d find safe drinking water on a recent trip to China, and that sparked the idea for CrazyCap. Great ideas like CrazyCap are often hiding in plain sight; you just have to be ready to see them. To hear more about Rakesh’s story and how he came up with the idea for CrazyCap, make sure to listen to this episode! Safe water is more accessible than ever! For a long time, using water purification tablets was the only way to know for certain that your drinking water from an unknown source was safe. As demand increased and technology advanced, solutions like portable filters and UV sterilization sticks flooded the marketplace. While these were welcome additions, they all had their own set of complications; filters would clog, and some UV sterilization sticks would expose the user to UV. CrazyCap entered the portable water purification space to provide a user-friendly solution. This innovative bottle cap auto-cleans your bottle and purifies water on the go. It is powered with advanced UVC LED light-ray technology and kills 99.9999% of bacteria and mold, and 99.99% of viruses. Make sure to check out the CrazyCap campaign on Kickstarter; the link is located in the at the end of this post. Don’t leave any stone unturned. Let’s face it, creating a successful product launch is no small feat. You’ve got to create a product that either has broad appeal or addresses a niche that is large enough to support your startup. To ensure that success is more likely than failure, entrepreneurs need to make sure that they turn over every stone they can to put their product in the best position for success. Rakesh and his team pulled out all the stops in their pre-campaign efforts, they contacted over 1500 bloggers and started with over 15,000 email leads. Even with this good start, Rakesh says that if he were to do it over again, he’d start even earlier reaching out to any channel he could. The lesson here to push beyond what you think you’ll need to succeed. Get more helpful insights like this one from Rakesh by listening to this helpful episode!

 Tips for a Successful Funding Pitch with Mindy Zemrak | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 25:05

What does it take to secure a successful funding pitch for your business or innovative idea? How can you tell your story and pitch your idea to investors in a way that stands out from the competition? Mindy Zemrak joins the podcast to talk about her experience as a Supervising Casting Producer for Shark Tank. In our conversation, Mindy explains what the Shark Tank vetting process is like, how she conducts casting calls, what the Sharks look for when they hear a pitch, and much more. Don’t miss a minute of this eye-opening episode with Mindy! The Shark Tank vetting process. When you think of Shark Tank and the process it takes to get featured on the show, what comes to mind? Do you think of packets of questions that you’d have to answer and maybe even tech guys combing through your digital footprint? While some of those images might not be too far off, Mindy Zemrak was kind enough to give a more accurate peek into the Shark Tank vetting process. According to Mindy, between twenty and thirty thousand people apply to get the chance to make their funding pitch to the sharks. When they consider an applicant, half of the decision is based on the product or idea and the other half of the decision is based on the entrepreneur. To hear more about this elaborate process from Mindy, make sure to listen to this episode! Why you need to know your numbers and tell your story. With the knowledge that two factors go into the decision-making process to get featured on Shark Tank, wise entrepreneurs would take the time to hone their message. If you got the chance, would you be able to effectively tell your story and pitch your idea in a matter of minutes? The business industry has affectionately called this short speech the “elevator pitch” for years. If you don’t know your businesses numbers and you can’t tell your story with enthusiasm, you don’t deserve the investment! Make sure to listen to this episode as Mindy Zemrak reveals even more helpful insights into the Shark Tank process. What to expect out of a successful Shark Tank experience. While many applicants and entrepreneurs go through the Shark Tank experience, few get a chance to proceed with a deal from one of the sharks. Even if an individual doesn’t take a deal or all the sharks pass on the opportunity, they often get a huge boost in interest and sales due to visibility from the show. The fortunate few who do end up inking a deal with one of the sharks, start the next chapter with a lot to look forward to. After the deal is made, the work expected of the entrepreneur intensifies significantly. Thankfully, if you’ve made it that far, you are up for the task! The future is bright! What will be the legacy of platforms like Indiegogo, Kickstarter, and Shark Tank? Will these amazing platforms for innovation go down as trailblazers in a new era of invention and experimentation? Or will they blip on the radar scene as a fun national pastime? While the day is still young for these platforms, it is helpful to consider their impact. It seems safe to say that their collective influence on the entrepreneurial marketplace is substantial. The public popularity for these platforms has led to a seismic shift creating more opportunity for thousands of men and women that never existed before. To hear more about the bright future of the American dream from Mindy Zemrak’s perspective, make sure to listen to this engaging episode!

Are there specific criteria that Ryan DeChance and his team search for when they consider an innovator and their product?

If the product passes muster, they proceed to the launch process which takes two to three months to complete. How The Grommet works. When you think of product platforms, what comes to mind? Between giants like Amazon, Ebay, and Kickstarter what would it look like for a product platform to stand out?

Here to give his unique take on the subject is one of the leading crowdfunding and financial technology lawyers in the United States, Mark Roderick. In his conversation with Roy, Mark opens up about the JOBS Act of 2012, the pros and cons of equity crowdfunding, various liability concerns that startup entrepreneurs should keep on their radar and much more. You don’t want to miss a minute of this engaging episode featuring Mark! Who is Mark Roderick?

Three types of crowdfunding created by the JOBS Act of 2012. Have you heard of the JOBS Act of 2012? Do you know how that law impacted the crowdfunding sector? Thankfully, attorney Mark Roderick was kind enough to break it all down in an easy to follow approach. The JOBS Act created three types of crowdfunding. * Title two of the JOBS Act allows companies to use the internet or other mediums to advertise their security offerings. * Title three of the JOBS Act allows a company to make securities offerings to non-accredited investors. * Title four of the JOBS Act, also known as, “Regulation A” allows an issuer to raise up to 25 million dollars a year from anyone (both accredited and non-accredited investors).
