Dan and Eric got together to get Madelab off the ground after co-investing and advising a couple of connected device companies. The idea is to create an incubator for IoT products to help entrepreneurs get smart products to market the right way. Having seen one too many horror stories with Kickstarter and Indiegogo projects that get tons of press, raise tons of money from supporters, and never ship - Madelab set out to right some of those wrongs by bringing Go-To-Market expertise, market validation strategies, and capital to amazing entrepreneurs with incredible products that can become scalable businesses.
