How they went from the initial idea to final manufacturing in five months.
Dan Provost and Tom Gerhardt brought the Glif, a combination iPhone stand and tripod mount, to the market in a mere five months.
This process involved finding funding, developing the design, making prototypes, working with manufacturers, and setting up distribution.
Large companies regularly plan ahead by a year or two for this process, so the fact they went so quickly is incredible. They managed this feat with the help of Kickstarter, Shapeways, Shopify, and many other services.
Luckily for us, they have written a thorough account of how they did it with lots of helpful details and advice. Read all about it.
