Crowdfunding Spotlight: The Naked Cooler

[kickstarter id=”1910499988/the-naked-cooler”]

Each week, we give a bit of space and focus to a local would-be entrepreneur. Generally, this is someone who has ideas and goals for a product or business, but maybe not the funds to get their promising enterprise off the ground. These folks turn to crowdfunding and we help to get the word out.

This week, we’re featuring a kickstarter effort from a name that may be familiar to you, especially if you’re a Blue Jackets fan. Player Scott Hartnell and two of his buddies have developed and are ready to launch a new product called the Naked Cooler. Essentially, it’s a cooler with windows. It seems perfect for keeping an easy eye on your drink inventory as opposed to needlessly running your hand around through the ice…only to discover that you’re out of the beverage that you wanted. <FAIL>

Scott owns half of the business and has two partners in the venture….one who wishes to remain anonymous (mysterious)…and the other is a guy named Adam Patterson. Adam is the video coach for the Philadelphia Flyers (Hartnell’s former team.)

Together, they’ve been working on the Naked Cooler concept for four years and now they’re looking for some help from the crowd.  (jj)
