Once a month, we have a meeting with a presentation about something invention related. Sometimes it's the creative part, like how someone came up with an idea. Sometimes it's the legal parts, like protection, patents, trademark, & licensing. Manufacturing comes up a lot, and so does marketing. We always enjoy our speakers, and we always learn from them. Questions are always encouraged, and our speakers share insights you can't get anywhere else. Before the meeting, you can visit with other inventors. New faces are always welcome, and if you have questions about invention or patents or marketing or ... there are usually members who can help guide you.

Topic:
From Idea to Shelf: The Inventor’s Real Journey

Speaker:
Travis Rosbach

Travis Rosbach, inventor of the Hydro Flask ( https://www.hydroflask.com/ ) , will share the unpolished truth behind launching a successful product brand. He’ll cover his real-world challenges, mistakes made, lessons learned and wins earned—from early startup struggles to scaling and exiting Hydro Flask. Expect practical wisdom, some wild stories and a lot of actionable insights for inventors at every stage. Bring your toughest questions—he’s ready.

Before business came calling, Travis lived a life of action and grit: he’s a US Merchant Marine Captain, commercial airline pilot, SCUBA instructor and a certified yoga teacher. He has lived and worked around the world—running parasail boats in the Caribbean, surviving tropical storms in seaplanes and navigating international manufacturing relationships in China for over 16 years.

In addition to being an inventor, Travis is an international speaker and business consultant. His entrepreneurial career spans industries, continents and adventures—from running boats and flying planes in the Virgin Islands to building a global household brand. After exiting Hydro Flask, he launched www.travisrosbach.com, where he helps clients refine brand, source manufacturers and scale sustainably.



Guests are welcome.
