Update: July 18,2015 We have relaunched on Kickstarter. On this second round we've landed better manufacturing options which allow for much lower backer levels. We've also been able to include multiple ColdCan's at some of the backer levels! See the 2015 Kickstarter here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/450382096/coldcan-keeps-both-12-and-16-oz-drinks-super-cold ColdCan – Only Beverage Insulator to use Spacesuit Technology now Launching on Kickstarter.com Houston Texas , April 28,...

It almost feels unreal.  Here we are, knocking on the figurative eve of the launch of our Kickstarter campaign and I'm so amazed by all that's been done in the last six months. Putting together everything for this campaign for you guys has almost felt like a bigger project than designing the ColdCan itself. I think that's because we did it in about a quarter of the time, but didn't concede a single thing and obsessed about all the details of the Kickstarter - with the same intensity we...

Another round of discussions about our Kickstarter video with Robert, our resident video expert. On the agenda - locations, style, shooting requirements and the ColdCan™ technology. Questions How could we communicate the lifestyle elements of a ColdCan™ owner? How much should we cover with just me and TJ talking on screen? How many locations can we fit into a 16 hour shooting day? What shots would be needed for the manufacturing parts of the script? How do we create understanding and...

The discard pile has turned into a discard box. The 3d printer we're using for prototyping is jamming and we've got a lot of waste from the way the 3d printer wants to print things. And I couldn't be happier. Progress and innovation comes at the cost of trial and error. And the prototypes that have come out right give us so much to work with. To touch it, feel it, and use it - is phenomenal. There really is nothing like the ColdCan™ anywhere. And while I have all these pieces of plastic, the...

Inspiration comes from all parts of life and we've been heavily inspired by beautiful gadgets, stylish products, some really cool Kickstarter innovations, and many Apple products. With the new Steve Jobs film starring Ashton Kutcher hitting the big screen, we thought it would be a good time to share some cool Steve Jobs quotes that fit us here at the ColdCan™. Seven Things Steve Jobs Said Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is...

The first prototype was made more than a year ago - and so much has changed since then. We've spent so much money designing and prototyping the ColdCan that I've been looking for smart alternatives to our approach. The 3d printer is working and I've started using molds to handle the rubber gaskets on the prototypes. So, now, I'm able to run the 3d printer for the bodies and pour the rubber with a compression fit for the gaskets. The end result is a solid prototype with lid, body, Cryogel...

Here at ColdCan™, even though we are still in development and prototyping phases, we've been looking at Kickstarter as an important part of our product launch. We've been seriously trying to understand what seems to work and not work for a successful Kickstarter campaigns. Sometimes its obvious and other times, it's not clear how some succeed and others don't. The following is a roundup of Kickstarter campaigns we curated and made internal notes on. Sometimes are notes are about things like...
