Candi Obrentz – Founder of RestoPresto and Customized Advisory Services
Candi Oberntz saw a gap in the market for a product that she wanted but could not find. So she invented it! The patented RestoPresto® is a wearable blanket which she launched with a successful Kickstarter campaign. Then she had to answer the questions “how,” “what,” “when,” and with “who.” Prototyping, crowdfunding, social media, forming an LLC, manufacturing, intellectual property all became issues. She succeeded and was even featured on The Today Show. Now, she is helping others solve the same problems. She is a trustworthy specialist who has the “been there and done that” experience combined with empathy and leadership to help create customized plans and guidance to help people develop their own ideas. Her advisory services business is available to new and established innovators who want to grow their own product or service ideas, at any stage.
