Food Packaging Machine
I'm Mike Thompson (Guy's techie in this Community), but I'm also a start-up founder. I closed a biscuit business earlier this year to launch a food packaging machine business. I've been inventing a new bagging machine for small businesses (especially bakeries) and through government funding, it's nearly ready to go. The cost of buying a commercial bagging machine is HUGE, and they're very hard to operate, especially for a small business. My machine will let you package a few thousand products per day (compared to the thousands per hour of the big machines) but cost a fraction of the price. Funding is the next step to launching. In the meantime I have a website with free packaging advice (www.bakeandbag.com) and a free community here on Skool: https://www.skool.com/bake-bag-3531

Hi, I'm Guy My first attempt at a start up was at the age of eight, collecting conkers and trying to sell them at the bus stop ... in the rain! Unfortunately, I hadn't quite got the product market fit right. My first proper start up was when flat, digital screens (LED and Plasma) started becoming ubiquitous in the late 1990s. Great idea, huge learning and initially an absolute failure. It cost me my house. But we went on to become a niche dominant player and I was able to get a decent exit in 2009. I've got the grey hair and wrinkles to prove that I have been on that quest personally and now I help others through their rollercoaster start up journeys.
