Hi atrajan, I like the concept and I think there are a lot of large companies who would contract with you to provide those services. Still, the concept certainly doesn't seem easy to scale. You need ergo experts either jet-setting across the globe or regional people who can handle major accounts.

Nothing seems self-servicey about this (probably not your intention), which means you'll need a large investment beyond building the product. And, well, that's just fine, but it also means that organization and cash-flow is going to be a big issue, and hopefully your team is prepared for that.

I would say the barrier for you guys is having sales skills out the wazzoo.

Best of luck!

thank you. our current plan is to go the kick starter route. Thereby also validating the interest in an ergo smart chair. We have a prototype unit built to test our hypothesis and have got favorable interest by ergo experts. Yes we are too early to plan to scale ... but just delivering locally in the bay area can be a good start.
