The Roadmap

Twelve Phases from Idea to Amazon Scale

Every engagement follows a structured path with clear deliverables at each phase, so you always know exactly where your startup stands.

The Full Roadmap

From a Raw Idea to an Amazon-Ready Brand

Twelve structured phases take your product from thesis to launch and scale. Each phase has clear deliverables, so you always know exactly where your startup stands.

  1. Idea & Product Thesis

    Define the product, the buyer, and why it wins.

  2. Market Validation

    Test real demand signals before committing capital.

  3. IP / Patent Strategy

    Identify protectable claims and provisional path.

  4. 3D Design & CAD

    Translate the concept into production-intent CAD.

  5. Prototype & Sample

    Build functional samples to prove and refine.

  6. China Sourcing

    Vet suppliers, request quotes, and compare.

  7. Costing & Funding Goal

    Model unit economics and a realistic target.

  8. Campaign Page & Video

    Craft the story, visuals, and reward tiers.

  9. Pre-Launch Demand Machine

    Build a waitlist and warm audience early.

  10. Kickstarter / Indiegogo Launch

    Go live with a momentum and funding plan.

  11. Production, QC & Fulfillment

    Move from funded to manufactured and shipped.

  12. Amazon Launch & Scale

    Transition into a long-term product brand.

The Pre-Launch Demand Machine

The Launch Starts 30–90 Days Before Launch Day

Successful crowdfunding campaigns do not start when the campaign goes live. They are engineered weeks earlier through audience building, message testing, email list growth, social proof, paid ads, influencer outreach, and a launch-day momentum plan.
