J.D. Houvener had the pleasure of interviewing entrepreneur and owner of The Cut Buddy, Inc. Joshua told his story of inventorship by necessity as he recounted his father cutting his hair when he was a boy and how much he hated his haircuts. He had invented the first version of his Cut Buddy over a decade ago - and even showed on camera his original inventor's notebook. He then caught us up to speed with where his company is at now, how he was able to boostrap his way through getting patents granted, make affiliate contacts and network his way to investors including on the TV show Shark Tank. J.D. did a Bold Bite out of Joshua's own pitch to the sharks, and J.D. identified that what aired did not discuss patents or trademarks...but Joshua laid out that they DID discuss it in the full hour he spent pitching it, but those segments didn't make the 8 minute TV spot. Joshua spoke about his recent fundraising efforts  and how that nearly $1M raised will help him manufacture and get products ready for sale at over 3600 Walmart Stores across the country. He's also started selling on Amazon and Target this year with projections of sales exceeding $3M this year. Joshua closes with humbling praise of Bold Patents and how we've helped him secure his inventions and trademarks through the years.  Support the show

Patents and Startups: How to Fundraise w/Special Guest Joshua Esnard

Joshua Esnard is the “accidental” inventor of The Cut Buddy, a device that helps you avoid making errors while cutting your own (or someone else’s) hair. The Cut Buddy has been featured on the popular show, Shark Tank, and over 80,000 people have used it to cut hair. In today’s episode, Joshua shares a bit on his story. Originally from St. Lucia (a small developing country), he invented his product at the age of 13 while living in Ithaca, New York. For many years, his dad cut his hair using the only style he knew—the buzz cut. Joshua wanted to look cool, so he started cutting his own hair. But he inadvertently gave himself bald spots. “I looked like a cheetah,” he says. He began playing with the idea of inventing something that would help him cut hair without making errors. Fast forward fifteen years later…his girlfriend pointed out, “You never finish what you start”—and this casual comment set in motion Joshua’s determination to bring The Cut Buddy to life. He met with a lawyer, filed a patent, and went through many challenges and obstacles to bring his product to the marketplace. (Side note: he ended up being mentored by Daymond  John from Shark Tank!) Joshua’s mission is to “make haircuts easy” and to help people gain confidence in their appearance and their ability to cut hair well. His product is especially useful for those with disabilities, mental health issues, and dexterity issues. Don’t miss today’s episode!
