Roy Morejon:





Welcome entrepreneurs and startups to Art of the Kickstart, the show that every entrepreneur needs to listen to before you launch. I’m your host, Roy Morejan, president and founder of Enventys Partners, the world’s only turnkey product launch company. From product development and engineering to omnichannel marketing, we’ve helped our clients launch thousands of inventions and earned more than $1 billion in sales over the past 20 years.



Each week I interview a startup success story, an inspirational entrepreneur or a business expert in order to help you take your launch to the next level. The show would not be possible without our main sponsor ProductHype, the weekly newsletter that goes out and shows you the best inventions that just launched. Make sure to check out producthype.co and join the Hype Squad. Now let’s get on with the show.

They are a premium brand of innovative pet products and they’re best known for their dog crate Revol, which actually launched five years ago. We had Zel on the show five years ago, episode 236. So definitely check that out after this episode. But Zel’s been on the show. He’s a guest. He’s relaunching or launching another campaign, so this is his second campaign and second time on the show.
