Modest Ghanaian guy: I gave up my life in Ghana, busted my *** cleaning toilets at 5am, saw a gap in the market and engineered this useful product. Arrogant American guy: I make videos with my grandma and get lots of likes so that's worth 10 million dollars

[@VENGEFULHEXX]

"A million dollars" sounds great. Not realistic though. I would put it on the influencer as well. Over estimating his worth and exposure.

The fact that someone as intelligent as mark would say the design of cup was too complicated because of “too many moving parts” is crazy to me… it’s simply learning one time how to use the cup 🤔

[@rileyscherer129]

It's not about mark tho. And it's not about whether you can or can't learn, it's just that the design is too complicated to be marketable. Consumers want something easy to use

"Can I monetize your impressions?"😂😂😂😂

[@TubeManagement]

He’s solely asking that because of the social media guy….. impressions doesn’t equate to sales smh 🤦🏾‍♂️ especially when you’ve tried to sell and your numbers don’t justify what you’re asking for

[@aaronryder4008]

you know there's no deal going to happen when the guys said, "I am a social media influencer"

that influencer told that poor guy what the evaluation should be and ruined that dude's chances

[@laurendearnley9595]

It's a really good idea, similar to the LunchEaze lunch box, but it needs to be actually portable, not something that plugs in to make coffee. Charge it at home or in your car and then be able to take it with you and switch it on without plugging it in.

As an Ashanti descendent, I'm impressed that guy knew his stuff about Ghana

[@CLAUDY-jq6vu]

There are a lot of travel units out there that are smaller and you can grind your own beans. This is just free publicity for them. I already have a travel coffee maker so for those reasons I am out!

They were serious. They really wanted a million dollars. Hopefully, they redesign the product, charge less, increase sales and look for more investors.

Company has gone nowhere and is pretty much in the gutter. Many of the people on kickstarter even said they never got their product or if they did it was faulty. Interesting product, terrible businessmen.
