I co-founded Xwerx with my brother based on inventions he and I had created separately in the years prior to 2007. We decided to throw in together to ready the ideas for manufacture and sale. We raised over $900,000 in investment and debt financing and proudly released our first product XtendPlay (my US Patented invention) to critical worldwide acclaim. The real-world experience I’ve gleaned has run the gamut from product design, writing our PPM for 504 Regulation D fundraising, trademark and patent issues, vetting/hiring sub-contractors, creating marketing assets/collateral, negotiating international distribution deals, overseeing manufacture of injection molded foam production parts, establishing/implementing quality control systems for production units, GS1 barcode implementation, overseeing packaging design/production, establishing fulfillment/warehousing solutions, budgeting, banking and accounting to name just a few areas.
