STOCKHOLM (PRWEB) August 18, 2014
Mats Horn and his team at Tinitell AB have designed the world’s smallest phone. A voice activated wrist mobile phone for kids, it is preprogrammed with key contact numbers and ideal for children and parents to stay in contact.
All Tinitell needed was the funds to produce its durable and affordable innovation. It went to crowdfunding website Kickstarter with a goal of raising $100,000. Seven days later it had reached that goal and, by the time the listing ended, pledges had topped $140,000.
In the latest Beyond the Business Card podcast from gooibiz, a Mygooi company, Horn, an American who lives in Stockholm, examines Tinitell’s successful Kickstarter campaign in a conversation with gooibiz’ Ville Edgren.
The podcast was posted today at http://www.gooibiz.com/4.
Topics in the Beyond the Business Card interview include how to put together a pitch for Kickstarter, the importance of high tech projects in the Kickstarter niche, the amazing opportunities that exist for businesses bootstrapping in the digital space and Horn’s journey as a product developer successfully attracting crowdfunding.
Edgren says Horn’s key points for a successful Kickstarter presentation are to have a newsworthy high-tech product with a unique customer value proposition, and to put in the time and effort to produce a polished pitch before launch.
