• Klymit’s story

• The point of a prototype is to:• Prove that it works

• Share your vision

• Get a patent

Do it Yourself Prototyping


• Take concepts from all industries and combine to get your product

Ex: Reebok and IV tubes

• “Use super glue and duck tape”

• Almost all prototypes < $200

• “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know”

How do you keep it cheap?
