Tom Gerhardt | "What the F%@k Just Happened!?!?": Idea to Market in Five Months

2011 IDSA International Conference
New Orleans, LA
09.16.11

About the Talk: Tom and Dan had an idea for an iPhone accessory called the Glif. Five months after conceiving the idea, they raised over $130,000 from strangers, had injection molded plastic on a factory floor, quit their jobs and sold a total of 10,000 Glifs in over 90 countries. Along the way they learned how to build a business and experienced the benefits of a community in ways they could never have anticipated. This is their story.
