November 15 - Philip Holmes, LTU Alum and CEO of Pretch will talk about his product development, award winning pitch method and kickstarter campaign. Holmes and his team have invented a better way to brainstorm. Holmes will describe how his company, Pretch, has developed innovative whiteboard panels that are lightweight and portable, so that they can be moved from wall-to-wall and room-to-room. The panels can also be stacked on top of each other to create more whiteboard space. In tandem with the whiteboards, Pretch has also created a mobile application that lets users capture content from a brainstorm by simply snapping a picture of the whiteboard. The app will automatically convert the photo into content pages in a mobile-optimized presentation—allowing collaborators to easily collect notes and share ideas before they leave their brainstorming session.
Philip Holmes is an LTU alum with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a recent participant in the LTU Collaboratory. Pretch was also recently awarded $5,000 in the Greenlight Business Model Competion.

Invention is 1% inspiration and 99%
perspiration...... Thomas Edison
The Inventors Association is a non-for-profit association established to educate inventors of all levels to navigate through the inventing process. In addition to being an important resource center, IAMD serves as a support group for inventors, who can exchange information, experiences and other advice on how to successfully complete a project.
If you have an idea, plan it.
If you make a plan, build it.
If you build a product, sell it.
If you've sold it, spend wisely.
Learn the process from like minded people...... Ken Yee
