The Ratchet Net was invented to be a versatile and customizable cargo net that can attach to ratchet straps providing a double layer of protection to your cargo. Patent Number 9,566,893.The idea behind the Ratchet Net came while off-roading deep in the back woods of upper Michigan. Camping gear kept falling out of the truck bed despite using so-called “GREAT” cargo nets. After returning from the trip, further research yielded zero results for a cargo net that would work better. Several months of analyzing products with similar price points in the truck/trailer accessory market proved that the Ratchet Net was unique enough to develop.After applying and gaining seed funding from the Start Garden Foundation several prototypes were developed and tested over the course of two months. The results were promising enough to create marketing plan, packaging, and website to prove market viability for the second round of funding.After Start Garden passed during the second round of funding the business plan pivoted its focus on licensing the product patent.
