7. Pace Wellness: Tired of taking pills? Everybody is
Funding goal: $150,000
Total pledged: $1,015+
Deadline: May 13
Pace Wellness is crowdfunding to develop dissolvable strips that can be used in lieu of pills.
The company is seeking to bring its Solves Strips to large retail stores and directly to consumers. The technology can deliver supplements including vitamin D, melatonin and electrolytes.
An Oral Thin-Film (OTF) platform is a small, this strip that sticks onto a tongue or inside cheek and dissolves. It releases the ingredients of the strip into a person’s mouth.
The company plans to produce grape-flavored electrolyte strips to replenish lost electrolytes, mint-flavored melatonin strips for a restful night’s sleep and orange-flavored vitamin D strips.

We would like to learn about raising money for a new electric dental drill we have developed.

Thanks, Alex. We’re not experts on fundraising. (We just write stories about people who are. 🙂 ) You might reach out to some of the people doing these crowdfunding campaigns, ask how things are going for them and whether they have lessons learned. If you have a medical device industry association in your area, they might be able to offer you some tips, too, or forward you to someone who can offer advice. Good luck with your endeavor!
