He is a serial entrepreneur, having start multiple businesses. His current project is InnovativeX, which is a site that provides the tools and resources to enable anyone to develop an idea from concept to market. We explore his business with a few examples in the product development space. First, we discuss his idea of a board game that teaches the players the product development process. Then we discuss my product, The Selfie Glove, and what I have done and what I should do to continue market testing. Key Takeaways No matter how good you think your invention is, you need to go through the validation phase of product testing I always assumed you needed to get sales right away to validate a product idea. But Daryl points out that you can give away samples and still test. If you give out samples and people say “hey where can I buy this”, then likely the product will be worth pursuing.   To Contact Daryl -          Linked -          [email protected]   The Engineering Entrepreneur Podcast is produced by Scott Tarcy, President of CADdesignhelp.com.
