WEAV3D is developing “Rebar for Plastics®”. Brilliant idea, now LOOK OUT! As developer of just south of 300 issued patent claims, my advice would be get prepared for an onslaught of deep-pocket corporations and their lawyers who have 10,000 ways to circumvent your patents and run off with your ideas.
Publicity such as this, and strategic alliances with others who have deep pockets and great connections will be your next great idea! It will cost you some equity. Live with that. It’s the real world.
The Atlanta-based company is going through The Company Lab’s “Sustainable Mobility Accelerator” powered by gener8tor.
“We help lightweight things that move,” Lewis Motion says in describing WEAV3D, the company that he co-founded with Christopher Oberste. Motion serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board of Directors, while Oberste is President and Chief Technology Officer.
Today, the Atlanta-based company is going through The Company Lab’s “Sustainable Mobility Accelerator” powered by gener8tor. The five participating teams will have their “Demo Day” from 4 to 6 p.m. EST on December 11 at the Barrelhouse Ballroom by Five Wits, 1501 Long Street in Chattanooga. To register, click here.
The two Co-Founders met at the Georgia Institute of Technology where both were graduate students – Motion working on his MBA, and Oberste on his Ph.D. At the time, Motion was still in the U.S. Coast Guard. They took an early iteration of the company through the National Science Foundation (NSF) I-Corps program where the customer discovery process proved enlightening.
