This was a really exciting project where we helped take a concept of a waterproof shoe to market. We had an idea brought our attention to create a waterproof breathable shoe.
The insight and proof of concept was provided to us by a local individual who wanted to explore how to commercialize. Through Won.house and Won-Access we were able to take the proof of concept through to a commercial prototype and introduce the product to a manufacturing partner to create a business for the individual.
To see the ideation come through the won-Access process to build a small business is incredible, and it was one of the first business opportunities that we got behind. With our connections in the textile industry we could make those connections to bring the proof of concept to market.
