| About Me: |
This is the Personal Profile for Duollc I have a 12 year sales background as a Series-7, Federal Student Loan, and unsecured debt negotiation + a 4 year administrative background in a Start-up company. I have invented a device with a universal application, however I have narrowed our point of entry into the market utilizing B2B companies for phase I & II, with our end-game in retail. |
Business Description |
|
| About My Business: |
This is the Business Profile for Duollc My business model is comparable to the Gillette Razor Blade Model. Even if we give the "Trio" device away for free, each installed device = approx. $24.00 in gross profit per year. My device (the "Trio") converts most toilet paper mounts into a triple purpose mount without the need for tools and/or retrofit. The end user now has convenient access to up to a double sized roll of toilet paper, flushable/biodegradable moist wipes, and air-freshener in the same place. The "Trio" eliminates clutter in the bathroom (tubs of wipes and air-fresheners). We will hit Assisted Living B2B targets in phase I, which represent over 650,000 U.S. rooms. Total flushable market size domestically is a $500MM market. My IP was underwritten by a registered patent attorney w/ 14 years experience. My attorney has filed applications with the USPTO on my behalf for a non-provisional patent, PCT, and Trademark. I have a complete business plan, 5 year pro forma, & marketing strategy. I am working with the second largest private label "wipe" manufacturer and supplier in the U.S., + have all of my other manufacturers and suppliers on line, ready to produce. My fulfillment house is in the Long Beach, CA region, perfect for my overseas shipments. I have a marketing veteran of 20+ years with H.P. utilizing the inkjet refill business. I also have a team of advisors from the Springboard-CONNECT program, including the ex-CFO of Ford Motor Finance of 28 years, and a consumer goods specialist, having sold over 60MM red, "Swingline" staplers (from the movie "Office Space"). I will need additional talented management down the road. Due to my particular vulnerablility at my early stages of my company, I will need to have an executed NDA on record prior to the divulging of any additional particulars; however, below is a link to a "retail" pitch I did for a contest in May, 2009: http://livemercial.magnify.net/video/Duo2-Response-2009 A few notes on the video: - the $$$ is in the refills of wipe canisters. - My "retail" price point was a little off, it is now $12.99 - $19.99, depending on model. Again, we do not plan to go retail first (but will have an online store). - Due to Trademark issues w/ the name "Duo", the Trademark name has been changed to "Trio", which makes sense because you can access T.P., wipes, and air-freshener from same place. I AM EXPLORING ACCREDITED INVESTORS, ANGELS, VC'S, AND P.O. FINANCING. Below is a link to my recent 1st place win for Best Pitch, at the San Diego Inventors Forum: http://www.nctimes.com/business/columnists/fikes/article_2fe89a1f-3bfb-5019-b5d0-52243636b036.html IF YOU THINK YOU CAN HELP MY TEAM IN ANY ASPECT, PLEASE CONTACT ME. |
