Project Description Looking for a marketing/sales director to join a start-up venture to launch a patent-pending new product.

Myself: a industrial designer/inventor, currently getting an MFA in I.D., also working in the hotel industry.

Product: a must see, it is a component-based product/system, developed over five years, through multiple prototype and testing stages, for the hotel industry.

Need: The product targets a commercial need involving labor costs, energy waste, and lack of systematic process, by providing a comprehensive solution. There are no similar existing products. The potential market is significant.

Again, Myself: I am more of an idea/concept person and many of the practicalities of getting a product to market, especially administrative, finance, marketing, are not my forte.

Development: Product is nearing market readiness, with some exploratory marketing attempts with prototype producing favorable responses.

This product will inspire the right person(s).
Skills & Requirements Must be an honest, risk-taking visionary with a zeal for the new, the original, the exceptional. I am purposely leaving this vague because I am open to different levels and types of experience, and I fit this description myself, with some experience in operating a business. Administration, sales, and raising capital are simply not my forte, so that is a priority need at the moment.

Description Marketing director needed to join a design development team to launch a start-up for the purpose of manufacturing and marketing a new product. My background is industrial design. The specialized product is patent-pending, has no competing products presently, and targets a vast commercial market. It is a fully developed idea that has been site-tested in prototype form. It has almost boundless market potential, as it is demonstrated to cut labor costs, improve greenness, and cuts workman's comp claims. My forte is in concept and design, and I'm looking for partners to help take the idea to the next level, raising capital and implementing a product development/marketing plan.
