I invite you to invest sweat equity into TextFaster
There is a lot of opportunity in building hardware and software keyboards for the cell phone market. I invite you to invest your time and energy in helping to build these products. It used to be that an entrepreneur went to a venture
capitalist to get the money to hire the people to build the products. We tried that, they were not interested. So now we are asking
you to help build this company. Below is a list of projects which need doing. Let me know which area interests you.
Software Porting
- Palm OS
- Symbian OS
- BlackBerry Storm
- Others?
I started off building hardware keyboards, and then the iPhone market took off, so I moved towards software only keyboards.
It is now time to get back to producing the hardware keyboards. Here is what needs to be done.
Hardware keyboard Development
- Complete the USB Circuit Board We need to complete the USB circuit Board
- Build the BlueTooth Circuit Board We need to choose a chip set, and design a circuit board for a BlueTooth chord keyboard. I already have
the needed software running on the iPhone.
- Build the case with keys I already have hardware prototypes.
- Program the two Boards Quite easy for the person with the right skill set.
Business Infrastructure
- Patent the Ideas We would like to patent the ideas behind these products. We need someone to write research the patent history,
write the patents, file then, and then defend them.
- Trademark DevelopmentWe need a trademark for this product. We need someone to create the trademark, register it, and defend it.
- Incorporate the Company The company needs to be incorporated. We need someone to create the verbage to allow for sweat equity investors.
- Website Development I need someone to manage the website. I want a store that tracks referrals, so we can pay referral commissions.
- Internet Marketing We need links from other sites to this site. We need someone to make those links happen. It would be great to get a article in Wired about this product.
Manufacturing
- Manufacture the circuit Boards Right now I am soldering the circuit boards at home. It takes 1/2 hour per circuit board. I need someone
to outsource and manage the circuit board construction. Either that or build a robotic cell to build the boards.
- Design CNC Software The early production runs are being built in a wood shop. We need someone to program a cnc machine to
create the physical devices.
- Design Injection Molding We are starting off with prototypes built of clay, and later production models built of wood.
For high volume production we need injection molding, that will make these devices look and feel more like a cell phone. We
need someone to manage this production.
