1 (770) 807-7223Slingshot Product Development Group's president and CEO, Sam Zaidspiner, was recently interviewed by Georgia Magazine for a feature article on inventors and the product development process. The following is an exerpt from that article:
The ones who do succeed usually get help from companies that can provide design, engineering and manufacturing services such as Slingshot Product Design Group in Lawrenceville. While most of their clients are Fortune 500 companies, about 20 percent are small-time inventors.
"Our core strength is innovation," says President Sam Zaidspiner.
Many inventors come to them after filing a patent and then realize they don't know what to do next. They don't know how to create a prototype and have never heard of a nondisclosure agreement. Slingshot offers services such as a team of engineers and graphic designers that can take them as far as they're willing or able to go with the product. That might be a prototype they can show to venture capitalists or eventually a finished product. The company provides skills the inventor lacks.
