It was a cross between American Idol and The Apprentice at the National Press Club last Friday for National Inventors Day (2.11.11), as TeleBrands invited inventors from around the country to pitch its panel of judges in the hopes of having America’s next “must have” product.Inventors had just five minutes to pitch the panel of judges (Manish Israni, Vice President, Market Research, TeleBrands Corp.; AJ Khubani, CEO and Founder of TeleBrands; Tom Zarzecki, Editor of TeleBrandsTheBlog.com) on why their product should be the next big “As Seen on TV” hit.
Inventions ranged from… a backpack that unfolds into a loveseat, a tool that hang pictures and shelves in seconds and a utensil – the “Frank Former” – that transforms a frankfurter into a hot dog man – as inventor, John Twerdock of Pittsburgh, PA pitched to the judges panel (as seen above).
