An update on one of my projects

And when I say “my”, I am one of four co-founders of Ashima Devices.

After receiving a new round of capital, these little drone aircraft (made by my company: shameless plug) may be available at a retailer near you for Christmas 2015.

  1. Who the heck is that weird dude shilling the nano tornado? The nano is cool, the huckster not so much.

  3. Cal Tech/Big Bang Theory monkeys in the company hired him without consulting me. I agree with you. Their decision caused friction and I quit the company in April. I think that theoretically I'm now back – but we'll see how long it lasts.

  5. I think – from what little I know – that all the wee flyers suffer from not being able to stay up too long. ???

    I think the flyer should be sold by someone who looks like he has worn a tie at some point in his life.

  14. ha!! I watched that and immediately thought, "Oh dear, they got someone from Austin to hipster-sell the product." Well… despite that lame choice, I think the product will sell.
    And the CMi video is EXCELLENT and compelling. Not surprised you have your funding already!
