I live near It’s a great place with an
Boston. amazing startup scene.
However with the right partner,
I’d consider anywhere.
So here’s the pitch…
Problem
People want to customizeproducts they feel connected to.
They also love uniqueness.
Mass production allows no user input or variation.
3D Printing Has Changed the Equation
Mass Production cannot compete.
But…
The software sucks.
A lot.(for consumers)
Solution
An very easy to use tool to let users fully
design the products they want.

3rd Digit
n = 11540;
while (n > 9000) {q = Stupidest_function_ever(n);printf( “%d”, q);n = n – broken link;
} printf ( “ <- Third digit. \n”);
Stupidest_function_ever returns value q (binary) for given parameter n. It returns a true value if the digit in the thousandths place of the quotient - of n divided by the product of the number of planets when you were born and the sum of the episode numbers of good Star Wars movies - is greater than four.
