Voyage Air Guitar
Voyage Air is the name of the company from Pleasanton, CA, a place that your Stats Shark grew up right around the corner from. And Voyage Air makes a guitar, but not just any guitar, one that folds up all nice and neat so that it can travel with you.
The Voyage Air Guitar is a an acoustic guitar with an easy quick release neck that folds the guitar easily so it can travel with a player in a small bag or even share a bag. It can even fold small enough that it can fit into an airline overhead bin[1]
Since releasing the product Voyage Air has sold 800 units but remains cashflow negative. When asked whether the entrepreneur has licensed the idea, the entrepreneur answered in the negative, saying that he wanted to prove out the idea with his own product first.
Unfortunately, the red in the books and the lack of any licensing proved to be fatal to this deal and Voyage Air walked away without a deal.
Notes
- ↑ As we all know, airline overhead space has shrunk almost every year since this deal aired. Whether this still holds true is unknown but it is still an impressive feat.
