He boasts a remarkable track record, with three major product exits resulting in billions of dollars in acquisition and over 50 hardware products under his belt in the past two decades. Today, he will impart his invaluable wisdom to aspiring inventors, startups, and small manufacturers by revealing the three crucial components of creating a top-notch consumer device and how they have propelled him to attain multi-billion dollar success in hardware product development.

Today you will hear us talk about:

• 1st wow: Understanding the product as a potential customer

• 3rd wow: Becoming a fan after using the product
• Listen to customer feedback, but maintain focus.
• Focus and Minimum Viable Product (MVP) are crucial, avoid adding unnecessary features.
• Don’t discard ideas for added features, instead, organize, structure and prioritize them for potential future product releases.
• Perfect the first product and then develop additional versions to form a related product portfolio.
• Market your product to the public.
