During this Meetup, Ben Jacobs, the co-founder and CEO of Whistle Labs will share his experiences working with Mark Medlen, COO of Riverwood Solutions, and bring a product from drawing board to off-shore mass production.

What happens after the functional prototypes? How did they convert proto’s into manufacturable products? Recruit and build a team? Select supply chain and outside resources?

Whistle Labs is a company set on developing a system of smart products for owners and vets—a system that grows with every owner that joins in, has the power to enrich each pet-owner relationship, and carries the potential to add years to every pets’ lives.
