Getting our product into the market, and watching people use it… that got us all jacked up on Mountain Dew! At least it did for me anyway.ĭid you have assistance from local entrepreneurial resources, or were there other key individuals who helped you launch? The biggest one so far is definitely having our Mobile Mounts installed at Dozer Park. What key milestones has your company achieved so far? Soon after, we got some feedback from a trusted friend who said, “Why don’t you just have Apple or Samsung pay to have their logo on it?” That was the “aha” moment. He started thinking about how we could create something to solve this problem, then he shared the idea with Andrew, and got the first prototype made. Wes was watching a game at Wrigley Field and had just gotten a new iPhone 6 Plus, but it was too big to fit in the cup holder.
What was the “aha” moment which led to your startup? Not only is it available to large-budget sponsors, but local, small-budget sponsors as well. This is the newest way for venues to offer their sponsors messaging space that is intimately displayed in front of each audience member for hours at a time. Until now, there hasn’t been a specific place to set your smartphone, other than the cup holder, while at your seat watching a sporting event.
It’s a sleek, two-piece design, so the intention is to have the “base” piece permanently secured to the back of the seat, while the “front” piece can clip in and out whenever there is a change in the messaging/advertising. Our product is a narrow plastic “pocket” that is attached to the seat-back in front of you at a sporting venue. What makes your product unique or different from other solutions on the market? Andrew Hoerr, co-founder, is a business honors scholar from Colorado State University, business development professional, and product development specialist.
Wes Hoerr, co-founder, is a successful entrepreneur who has started and run several different businesses over the past 20 years. The Mobile Mount provides a safe place for guests to store their phones, a marketable space for advertisers, and another stream of income for entertainment and sporting venues.
