Online Research

Project details

What we need
  • A compilation of research on a specific topic (e.g. industry best practices, literature review, media contacts, industry trends, etc.) including a list of sources
  • Recommendations on areas for further exploration/research
  • Note: This project is not designed to be used for prospect or grant research
Additional details

There is no category for "Industrial Design" on Catchafire, but this is an Industrial Design project!

We need help from a industrial designer or physical product architect to help us create an alternative way to dispense safe drinking water. Designing the add-on components will require CAD drawing, and perhaps access to 3D printing for prototype testing.

What we have in place
  • We currently have the concept for the product, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have manufacturing and supplier connections, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,239 , allowing us to complete CAD designs and initial prototype testing.

This project will enable Jibu to grow into new countries and communities without being held back by dependency on our current supply chain challenges. It will mean we can launch more entrepreneurs and reach more communities with safe drinking water, more affordably than ever!
