STAGE

Prototype

→ The Challenge

Vincent Bondi set out to solve a common kitchen frustration: the clutter that comes from juggling multiple cutting boards and bowls while preparing meals. Traditional setups often consume too much counter space, cause boards to collide or slide, and make it difficult to stay organized during food prep.

While the concept addressed a real, everyday problem, progress stalled at the prototype stage. Vincent was unsure whether there would be meaningful market interest and lacked clarity on how to move the product from concept to commercial validation.

→ The Solution

InventSmartUSA partnered with Slice & Save to evaluate the product's market potential and guide the early commercialization process. Their support focused on validating demand, protecting the concept, and positioning the product for buyer conversations.

Key services included licensing and trademark guidance, market potential assessment, and strategic brokering to relevant distribution partners.

→ The Execution

InventSmartUSA worked quickly to assess the product's fit for retail and direct-response channels. Within days of engagement, they identified appropriate buyer targets and facilitated introductions aligned with the product's use case and stage.

Key steps included:

Evaluating the product concept and positioning for retail appeal

Advising on licensing and trademark considerations

Identifying and brokering introductions to qualified buyers

Preparing the product for early-stage buyer conversations

→ The Results

Within one week of engaging InventSmartUSA, Slice & Save was in front of As Seen On TV buyers for an initial pitch meeting—dramatically accelerating time to market validation.
