This moderated panel discussion will invite three inventors who have launched products to reflect on what they learned in the process. Each took a different path in developing and launching their product, and each has different insights that may be relevant to moving your idea from prototype to product. Panelists are asked to explain:

  • What inspired them to create a product.
  • How they developed a prototype
  • How they found support to make it a product
  • What production methods and revenue model they choose.
  • What advice they would have given themselves at the start if they could do it now.
