Funding a smart invention
Thirty years ago, the methods used by creators to fund their projects involved getting money from the bank or from someone in the 38. Banks today are still a useful source of finance, but investments may also be sought from ‘corporate social responsibility’ projects.
In order to get immediate funding, the method Ferrando took was to use a well-known 39. to advertise his product and request financial support. People who gave a certain figure or over were offered a free gift. In addition, Ferrando advised his donors that his company would create bottles in two colours, followed by a 40. bottle once they had received a more significant amount. In this way Ferrando avoided debt and found out how many people might want his products before manufacturing them.
