Creating Opportunities

In 1994, Tom Devlin co-founded New Vector Products, an intellectual property development company. Tom and his partners wanted use their skills and methodologies to create and market their own products.

The first attempts involved brainstorming ideas, leading to a list of 400. Next, ideas were filtered using criteria such as feasibility and money-making potential.

Winning concepts were drawn up in sketch form, and more research was done on the market. Some fun early work included this spice chopper and veggie washer.
