In this episode of Art of the Kickstart, we spoke with Will Ranscombe, Founder of Tend Deep. Formerly in the investment banking and asset management industry, Will was looking for a change of pace when he was inspired to design Tend Deep. What started as a simple conversation in 2020 turned into a tendinopathy tool that utilizes vibrations to alleviate pain. Listen now to learn how Will and the rest of the Tend Deep team prototyped and prepped Tend Deep for crowdfunding. Short on time? Here's what we talked about. A chance meeting with a successful soccer club team’s physiotherapist sparked the idea behind Tend Deep. By focusing on vibrations, the team developed a new way to treat tendon pain. The Tend Deep team introduced their product through physiotherapists and friends but transitioned to crowdfunding to hone in on where their product might be most popular and with whom. Having an in-house designer has allowed the team iterate the product and incorporate the things. Will emphasizes how beginning marketing efforts don’t need to cost a fortune but can help you find your niche.
