Dear Tech Venture,
Sorry I am not in a position to join your Track back program at this time, however I have a situation I would like to share. Kryptolight is a product I Invented several years ago, it became really popular in the mass markets, Award shows, Infomercials, Magazine Articles a real dream come true. I had partnered with a local company that did a quick test market on my product at a trade show in Vegas, it sold over $70,000 in orders at the first show so they went with it. The two partners that I was in business with had a tiff and split up leaving me with no Inventory and my Patents thank god, but I have not been able to get it back on top mainly due to lack of capital. Now the product has gone into some really cool product development and ready for a new market. Any suggestions Please?
Regards,
Steve Ohlund Inventor
