It seems as though Beddit did a lot of things right. Lasse had a solid background in biomedical engineering and a solid business plan. He had been working on a similar product and had gained experience with the technology. He won an award for his initial work, which earned him access to mentoring and early stage funding. He built a professional version of the product which he then tested with the help of an expert research physician. Seeing the possibility for a consumer version, he developed a prototype and opted to go the crowd-funding route on Indiegogo.
