Product-launch experts coached entrepreneurs in manufacturing, design and retail

More than 100 entrepreneurs stopped by the Indiegogo Zone to connect with experts at Arrow, Amazon Launchpad, Motorola, Riverwood Solutions, Brookstone and Target Open House:

  • Campaigners met with Target Open House and Brookstone representatives to find out if their product is retail ready. After testing Fotokite, the kite-drone combo that takes aerial photography, Lauren van Heerden, the Chief Innovation Officer, announced that she’s “seen a lot of drones, but Fotokite is the next level.”

Over 160 proud Indiegogo campaigners showed off the latest technology products
