Turning a Simple Need into a Scalable Innovation
from The Playbook · host David Meltzer, Entrepreneur.com
In today’s episode I sit down with Christopher Rognstad, the inventor and CEO behind THC Grow Systems and the Horticulture Camera. We talk about how a simple need for peace of mind during the pandemic pushed him toward building a remote control platform for indoor growers, powered by time-lapse imaging and real problem detection. He shares how he protects his ideas, why crowdfunding fits his mission, and how his ADHD became a strength that fuels persistence and curiosity. We also explore the early inventions he abandoned too soon and the lessons that now guide his approach as he raises capital and brings his vision to life.
