The Flippin' Boss is a project I have been working on since May of 2014. It has always been the intention to bring the product to market and that is what I have done.

The actual manufactured product is due to be available in all colors in July of 2017. If I am this far along you might want to know why I am seeking additional funding. There are a couple of main purposes for the funds, but let me answer the most urgent question which is why do I need additional funding. The main reason is due to a variety of costs in the final development of the Flippin' Boss. This product may not look like it is too complicated, but I promise you it is a very difficult product to manufacture. Yes the tooling was expensive, the design work was expensive and of course the attorney was expensive in filing all of the patent documents. But I managed to cover it. The issue is that in building the website, landing the product and getting it to market, we are left with minimal funding for promoting the product and for the follow up product to the Flippin' Boss that is on the drawing boards.

Approximately two-thirds of the funding will go for the cost of filing the patent and tooling charges for manufacturing the follow-up product to the Flippin' Boss. The balance of the funds or approximately one-third will go to social media marketing for the Flippin' Boss and an upgrade to the website. Ultimately there will be a whole line of grilling related products built around the Flippin' Boss name and brand.

The Flippin' Boss is the cornerstone product designed to make a statement by not only being different but bringing something to the market that is ultimately functional and unique.
