New Remote-Controlled Cooler Offers Unmatched Convenience

The Rover is seeking funding on Kickstarter

(WATERTOWN, Wis.)—C3 Custom Cooler Creations announced today the start of its Kickstarter campaign to fund its remote-controlled cooler called the Rover.

“Anyone who’s ever had to drag or carry a cooler to a tailgate or while camping will appreciate the convenience of using our remote-controlled Rover,” C3 President Doug Martin said. “You will be the envy of all others when you’re able to deliver ice-cold beverages to your guests with the touch of a button.”

Consumer demand has passed the company’s ability to make each Rover in a timely manner. The Dec. 3 goal of $45,000 will allow C3 to manufacture the Rovers and purchase additional molds and components.

The Rover is available in all NFL and MLB team designs, as well as more than 100 colleges. It can hold up to 30 cans and 10 lbs. of ice and has thick foaming insulation that can keep ice for up to three days. Additional features include bright LED headlights to make the walk back to the car easier and three speed settings that allow for control and extra power when needed to haul loads of up to 60 pounds.

If funded, a limited quantity of Rovers will be manufactured and shipped in time for the holidays. Retail cost is $265 for standard coolers and $325 for team-licensed coolers.

Pledges on the Kickstarter campaign range from $5 to $1,000.

JDM Innovations, LLC, dba C3 Custom Cooler Creations, was founded in 2014 in Watertown, Wis. For more information, please visit www.c3customcoolers.com.

MobCraft Beer First to Offer Investment Opportunity Under New Crowdfunding Law

(MADISON, Wis.)—Wisconsin residents can now show their financial support for small-craft brewery MobCraft Beer, Inc., as the company today launched its crowdfunding common stock offering based on Wisconsin’s new crowdfunding law.

“Since beer fans contribute to the types of beer we make, it makes sense that they now can invest in MobCraft’s anticipated growth as well,” Co-Founder and CEO Henry Schwartz said. “Crowdfunding is another way for fans to unleash their inner brewmaster.”

CraftFund LLC is a Wisconsin-based entity acting as the exclusive web portal for the offering. Full details on the offering to invest in MobCraft can be found at http://www.craftfund.com/companies/mobcraft-beer. Only Wisconsin residents may participate in the offering.

Should MobCraft, which brews beers based on the votes of fan-submitted recipes, achieve its offering target, it will use the proceeds toward new equipment and purchasing its own facility.

Annual Forward Festival Focuses on ‘Next Big Thing’

(MADISON, Wis.)—Entrepreneurs, creative designers, tech professionals and even foodies will have an opportunity to collaborate Aug. 21-28 at the fifth annual Forward Festival, an eight-day celebration of innovation and entrepreneurship.

“With the growth of the event as well as the involvement of our community, we’re excited to showcase Madison’s entrepreneurial ecosystem across several industries,” Bryan Chan, festival co-founder and president of SupraNet Communications, said. “The environment is all about promoting and creating the next big thing.”

The festival’s main event is the Forward Technology Conference, which takes place Aug. 27 at the Monona Terrace. Jignesh Patel, a UW-Madison professor who sold his software company to Twitter, will be the keynote speaker.

Other highlights of the festival include a pitch contest for female entrepreneurs (Aug. 27), the annual Madison Ruby Conference (Aug. 21-23) and the inaugural Edible Startup Summit (Aug. 25), an event geared toward food entrepreneurs.

Originally started in 2010, the Forward Festival was created by Chan, Nathan Lustig of Magma Partners and Matt Younkle of Murfie to bring together professionals from a wide range of disciplines. That is evident in events such as High Tech Happy Hour (Aug. 21), the Badger Startup Summit (Aug. 26) and the Wisconsin Innovation Awards (Aug. 26).
