Gary Ondecko
Founder of: WinCity
Athletes and coaches need an affordable, reliable and accurate method to time short distance sprints such as the 40 yard dash or 100 meter sprint during practice. We are in the process (prototyping phase) of creating a convenient to use product at a fraction of the price of the larger players in the space.
Challenges: I need assistance parsing out how to accelerate the trajectory of the project/company. Being a non-technical founder I have spent about a year and a half prototyping the device. I have done it through self teaching and the use of Upwork where self teaching wasn't efficient to bootstrap getting to a prototype. At this point I am unsure if I should go the route of funding, if that is even feasible at this point and/or if I should focus on finding a technical founder or just continue on my current trajectory.
