This is one of those entrepreneur stories I had no idea how it was going to go. I met inventor and entrepreneur, Richard Smith for lunch to hear his story. You see Richard invented a male wellness product called the Pump-N-Gro which reduces some of the symptoms of erectile dysfunction. After experiencing erectile dysfunction himself, Richard was determined to find a natural way to solve E.D. This simple, one piece product makes use of a hollow chamber which has two openings. One opening is for penis insertion and the other is for releasing air/fluid from inside the chamber. The vacuum activates vessels in the penis allowing blood to flow as it should… Boom, welcome back erection!!
Richard is a retired engineer, and after listening to him describe the process developing this product I totally saw those skills come back in play for him. He even has a free book for download on his site which has over 250 pages documenting his journey! There were many hurdles for him to get over in terms of product design and functionality, but to get this mass produced Richard turned to the internet. It was there where he learned about the injection molding process, types of materials, and how molds are made. He found a few molding companies that fit his needs but none of them really wanted to take the extra steps to help him out in terms of enhancing the product. After a couple of frustrating clicks and calls, Richard found Toth Mold/Die Inc. located in Cleveland. As fate would have it Toth’s shop had a convenient location on Richard’s route while passing through Ohio heading up to Michigan. So he was able to meet Tim Toth in person, which was a turning point in his entrepreneural journey. After the meeting, Richard knew he found his production partner because Tim took the time to help him visualize the product in terms of how efficient this could be produced and Toth Mold/Die specializes in shorter more customized runs which helped him financially. The Pump-N-Gro is made of elastomeric resin which conforms to the requirements of the FDA-Modified ISO 10993, Part 1 Test Specification entitled “Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices” intended for use involving human tissue contact.
The Pump-N-Gro has helped thousands of men with erectile dysfunction, and the best part is it requires no medication.

With any invention the entrepreneur will have to go through the process of ups and downs, and hopefully be flexible when changes have to be made. Sometimes those changes even alter your original vision, which can be a good thing! One common area I always see happen is the strength of community, team, and partners that help a product launch successfully.
