In this episode of Art of the Kickstart, we spoke with Gilad Warter, Co-Founder of Auto Mount. What started as a career in managing Amazon and e-commerce revenue has grown into new ideas and launching a Kickstarter campaign. His latest venture, Knotix, is a universal adventure roof rack with sales flying well past its funding goal on Kickstarter. Listen now to learn how Gilad foresees the future of Knotix and his other ventures. Short on time? Here's what we talked about. Gilad and his business partner both loved to travel but hated switching to cars with installed roof racks to carry what they needed. This sparked the idea for Knotix, a universal adventure roof rack.   Knotix is unique because it universally fits almost any 4-door vehicle and features a unique clicker system for attachments. The Knotix team decided to crowdfund the Knotix because it requires a substantial amount of capital to bring the product to life.  Gilad discusses the future plans for Knotix, and how his other ventures tie in with this crowdfunding campaign.
