Finalized the design of InvenTABLE & tested it out

February 10th was Chinese New Year and represented a "design freeze" for InvenTABLE. After this, we were able to test the first InvenTABLE version that had all of its near-final components.

Started working with Kaizen Dynamic

We were determined to find a manufacturing partner that...

  • has an in-depth understanding of motors
  • has manufactured kids products before and therefore understands kids-safety requirements
  • deeply understands our vision

After over a month of meeting with various potential partners, we met with Kaizen Dynamic and knew right away that they checked all of the boxes. They are now our official engineering, product development, and supply chain partner.
