Even though the patent is pending, someone can still use the design, so be careful. Are you trying to make Jeep parts? Already done your market research and questioned your target audience? PM me if you need any advice, I am finishing up my degree in Marketing and actually paid attention through most of it.
No offense, but if an almost finished marketing degree is the first credential you fall back upon when selling yourself as an accomplished and credible business consultant, then maybe you ought to let the guy (whom you know nothing about) make his own decisions.
One of my degrees says marketing on it too, and it's worth about as much as the paper it's printed on when it comes to working in this industry. I was almost finished before I figured that out, which is why I picked up a 2nd major to at least give me a sporting chance against the million other people that thought a degree in common sense sounded appealing.
Mike, good luck with your business. I have no constructive advice to offer in regards to manufacturing, but if you happen to be in search of capital I can tell you where not to start lol. Securing funding for a startup is next to impossible these days, but you probably have a leg up on me since the history of spending that I’ve always been jealous of leads me to believe that you have access to a sizeable amount of capital. So ya…build parts, make more money, go wheelin. Boo ya!
