Submit your idea
Your idea/ technology/ company
| Name of your idea or project | The VeggiDome |
| Which challenge area does your idea respond to? | Health, Place and Planet |
| Describe your idea and how it can help Santa Monica | As a tool that presents fresh vegetables out on the kitchen table, instead of hidden in the fridge, veggie supports healthy eating and enables the consumer to waste less fresh produce |
| What stage is your idea or project in? | Active company/ post-revenue |
| What needs to happen to launch your product? Please list all resources (hardware, software, licensing, legal/regulatory, funding, partnership or support from the City, data, etc.) required to launch your program. | To launch this product into the next level it will require improvements in manufacturing supply chains and efforts to make them more sustainable. The IP (patents trademarks) are in place or pending, but need further strengthening with additional patent filings. The major thrust of our request is in helping with resources in out-reach and collaboration with health conscious and environmental organizations. Funding is needed for marketing, sales, and education others of how keeping vegetables out on the table benefits the majority of lifestyles. ( you can read this, may not understand the potential for good that this device allows, it hasn't been sitting in your kitchen for days, with vegetables in it, ready to eat !) : ) |
| How realistic is it for your idea to be implemented by early 2018? Please describe what resources (if any) you will need in order to ensure a working product by early next year. | Early 2018 would be a wonderful goal and time for this product to benefit from this focus and attention of resources. We have just started production on our next series of VeggiDomes, 6000 units (scaling production on the first series of 2,000) with this larger series, we will be able to spread the news! |
