Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Tindie to Launch Online Courses”.
I’M here at makercon with emil petroni, founder and ceo of tindy, can you tell us about what tindy is first of all sure, so tindy is a marketplace for indie hardware, so people that make exciting electronics at the fringes – and you know all the nooks and crannies We’Re a marketplace where you can find and sell really great projects so, and what are you doing here at makercon, so uh here we’re announcing the launch of 10du. So what we found is that makers are really great at coming up with great ideas, but in terms of scaling it and actually getting that manufactured and coming up with something that can be. You know manufacturing units of one to 100 to a thousand. It’S something that people have a lot of trouble with, so what we’re doing is uh launching 10du as a way for people to learn the tips and tricks, basically how to get funded. If you need funding how to actually commercialize your product, how to find parts how to find manufacturers and we’re doing this in coordination with rgu boy, which is a really exciting project – that’s had a lot of press recently as a game boy.
That’S the size of a credit card and we’re gon na follow arjuboy as it basically progresses from idea to commercial product. The the listing on 10d is launching this week, so people can start to join the waiting list and follow it as it progresses through through the process of basically getting commercialized and and we’ll be able to ultimately purchase that on attendee when, when ready, that’s great now Can anyone join up 10du? They can’t so it’s actually totally free and we’re going to have uh google hangouts every month, we’re going to source content um the first one is actually next month in washington, so we’re excited to get that started. So this is kind of like the kickoff of this is coming and uh. The url is tindy.com10du, so get ready. It’S starting and uh. It’S gon na be a fast month up until the launch so great.
Well, thanks for uh telling us about it and uh we’ll see you soon. .
