Invent Boston designs and develops original products to add science + whimsy to  every day tasks at home.   Our first product is a Two Minute timer, Two Minute Turtle, a visual timer. The Two Minute Turtle helps children and adults focus on two minute tasks such as brushing teeth, physical therapy, taking a shower and speaking (practicing a presentation or learning a language).

We hit a Wall

Virginia Berman

Our crowdfunding mentor gave us advice.  So we will slow down and take her advice before we launch. What did she suggest we do next? 

1) Highlight the problem we are solving more in the video--why is the timer necessary in the first place?  I will go back to our dear videographer and see how best to add that. 

2) Find a few credible third parties to endorse the product and add their logo the page. A number of pediatric dentists have endorsed--now to ask them for their logo.

3) Show other uses for the timer. We use it for holding yoga poses, the shower and as a way to show how much more screen time. How do I get the shower photo so it's clear without someone in the shower?!

4) Show, don't list, the benefits of the timer.   I tried to make doodles but she didn't like my doodles. 

 

Now, to scale the wall.
