Quirky Allows Anyone to Become an Inventor!

Have you ever had a great idea for an invention but wasn’t

sure how to make it a reality? That’s what ‘Quirky’ is all

about. This New York based startup is literally the stuff

dreams are made of.

“We started the company to make invention accessible,”

says founder and CEO Ben Kaufman. “People come to our

site, submit their ideas, and the best new ideas make their

way all the way to retail shelves and we do all the heavy

lifting in between.”

Kaufman came up with the idea for Quirky in 2005 when

he was a frustrated high school student trying to create iPod

accessories.

That led to him creating, Mophie a company that now

makes add-ons for the iPhone. He sold the company for an

undisclosed amount in 2007.

Then in 2009 he started Quirky, which has already put 98

products on store shelves. Those products can be found everywhere from Target to Walgreens, to Bed Bath

& Beyond and Amazon.com.

“I wanted to build a business where the best product ideas in the world actually got out there into the world,”

Kaufman told Breakout. “So we started the company to make sure that no matter what disciplines you know

or don’t know, you’re augmented by both an expert team and a community that can make sure your product

idea gets out there.”

Community is key for Quirky. Every idea submitted online is screened and voted on by Quirky employees

and an active group of online users during weekly meetings that are streamed from its New York

headquarters.

Once a product gets the green light, the online community submits ideas about everything from the color of

the product to the name and tagline. If your idea is selected you become a part owner of the project and

receive royalties for every unit sold.

It’s a new business model, one that weighs all opinions equally. Not even the CEO can stop a good idea

from moving forwards.

“Bandits, rubber band with a hook,”

Kaufman uses as an example, “There is video

of me saying this is a terrible idea no one will

ever buy this. We’ve gone on to sell tens of

millions of rubber bands with a hook.”

But perhaps Quirly’s biggest success story so

far is the Pivot Power. It puts your ordinary

power strip to shame with the ability to bend in

different directions allowing you to fit all your

plugs, big and small, on one strip.

“Everyone asks what makes a successful

product,” Kaufman says, “I think the biggest

commonality is that it solves a problem

everybody has. “

The problem solver behind the Pivot Power is

24-year-old Jake Zien.

“I think it was just one too many minutes spent fiddling with plugs under my desk and trying to get them all

in the strip,” he says. “During a summer product design program at the age of about 17, I came up with this

idea for a flexible power strip.”

That one idea has sold more than 600,000 units since Quirky sent it to market in 2011 and had made Jake

more than $388,000.

We’re not just inventing new products,” says Quriky’s Kaufman, “we’re inventing a new way to do business

and we work everyday to try to hone that and figure it out. I don’t think we’ve quite nailed it yet, but

everyday we get better and better.”

And as they improve Kaufman has his sights set on some lofty goals. “In five years, I would like Quirky to

be the best consumer product company in the world,” he says. “In ten years I would like us to build the

spaceship that brings us to Mars.”

Quirky brings invention to the masses!

sure all your tech-cessories get charged.

magazine there, but wait now the laptop is sliding into your stomach and you have to sit up more straight,

and ugh, guess you'll just go back to your kitchen table. With the Scribe, you can keep books, a laptop and

pens organized while working on your bed or couch. And if you're a college student, it hangs from the edge

of any standard dorm room bed!

16. Split Stick Thumb Drive (A double-sided USB drive): Sometimes it's fun to mix business with

pleasure—but it usually ends a mess. Split Stick is a double-sided USB drive that keeps your files separated:

conquer
