FINsix – Dart
Description of Product
FINsix is an innovative brand with an innovative product line. The company was founded in Massachusetts in 2010 under the name of OnChip Power by four MIT graduate students with a focus to create a device that would eliminate the bulky chargers and provide a small device to charge all your electronics. Since its foundation, FINsix has been able to get in the public eye through their Kickstarter campaign, which the company launched to help raise $200,000 for the production of their small device charger known as the Dart. The company was able to meet its goal within 24 hours of the campaign and since then has raised about $6 million and benefitted from backers, such as Venrock and Sweetwater Energy. This opportunity has enabled FINsix to gain an intellectual advantage as well as a technological edge over the rest of the market and current and future competitors.

Disconnected between technology and business model: The innovativeness of Tesla’s technology is not matched by the innovativeness of its business model. In fact, there is no change to the business model at all. Tesla is simply proposing to replace the standard gasoline car and gas station business model with the model S and a supercharge station network. What the model S needs is not a network of charging stations but a different business model.
In todays fast-paced society there has been an increased demand for resources to be more accessible. This demand has created the trend of devices, such as laptops, to become more and more portable. A good example of portability would be the way the way desktops evolved into bulky laptops, and then laptops into smartphones and tablets. What makes the MacBook Air more portable than most is it’s small design, long battery life, and with it being lightweight. Other laptops by Apple, like the Macbook Pro, weighing about 5 pounds don’t come close to being as lightweight as the Air. When MacBook Air was released in 2008 it was introduced as the world’s thinnest laptop coming in at 0.68 inches and weighing only 2.38 pounds. Compared to other laptops the only other device that comes close would be ...
