First!

Welcome to the site. Here I’ll be chronicling my journey to launching a product I’ve been working on for quite some time now, Stickerlight. Basically, it’s just a sticker that one places on their laptop that will light up. I see it as a preferred alternative to just showing off the boring glowing Apple logo on the back of your laptop. It is still PC friendly though, nothing here is OS specific.

So far I guess you could say I’m in the first generation of the product. I’m currently working with some smart friends of mine in order to come up with some new electronics that will provide more power and functionality for the end user. I’m far from where I ultimately want to see this product in the future, but what I have right now, which is also somewhat available for sale, is good enough to get the general concept across.

I’ve got this project entered into the Panasci Business Plan competition at the University at Buffalo. Winning would bring in some much desperately needed capital for R&D.

At this stage I’ve been working on trying to get some celebrity endorsements as well as sell these to a few select performers in order to get some early feedback on how the product is working. Using websites like DJMag Top 100 DJs, Top Dee Jays, and Top Dee Jays, I sorted through and sent emails to pretty much every single DJ and musician located in the US who had a decent fan base and also used a laptop during their live performances. So far I’ve gotten promising responses from:

So it’s definitely an exciting period right now to see what happens. Daedelus was performing in Buffalo, NY last night and I got the opportunity to meet the monome pioneer and get some feedback on my product.
