Filip has had a passion for designing, building, and improving products since fixing a toy when he was five years old opened a world of possibility and feelings of creation to him. From a young age he was fixing things around the house, went on to get a degree in mechanical engineering, is an expert on product creation from concept to production. He’s joining us today because he’s also the host of The Product Startup Podcast – and I thought it would be great idea to get an expert on product creation, on the path from concept to production on the show.
This is the eighth of our ‘2017 eCommerce Growth Series Sponsored by Veeqo the Number 1 Inventory Software’. The series will be running throughout January and is packed with insight and advice to help you make 2017 your best year yet. Find the full series here.
