An Elegant Solution to a Nasty Problem

We all love our dogs, but we don't love carrying around that nasty bag of poo. Wise Walker gives you a place to stash that nasty bag while you finish your walk. We worked for more than a year designing, refining and finally perfecting the best possible solution to this problem. Wise Walkers are ultra light, durable, versitle and super easy to use. Our backers and customers rave about how much they love their Wise Walker... and we know you will to.

Learning the Lessons of Entrepreneurship

Wise Walker began as (and continues to be) a dad and two daughters learning the lessons of entrepreneurship. As a dad and a serial entrepreneur, I wanted to share my experience with (and love for) entrepreneurship with my girls. The opportunity presented itself on a walk with our dog Lola. After picking up Lola's "business", I suggested that they should at least carry the bag. But the idea of carrying around that nasty bag repulsed them -- "that's gross!". "See girls", I said, "that's what entrepreneurs do... they try to solve problems." So I challenged them to solve that problem. After many months of continuing that conversation, Wise Walker was the result.

Fun Fact 1:

We glued together our first prototypes on the kitchen table. Dozens of versions later, we finally had a product that people loved.

Fun Fact 2:

While weighing less than 2 ounces, Wise Walkers has enough space to hold up to nine large chicken eggs… as well as pocket for your keys, a cell phone some treats… whatever you like.

Fun Fact 3:

Team Wise Walker had our first business meeting in a jacuzzi while on a family vacation. The rule ever since has been that the girls get to pick where we have our meetings.

Wise Walker is about the journey.

For Team Wise Walker, the great entrepreneurial jouney continues. We hope that Wise Walker makes all the small journeys you take with your dogsevery day just a little bit better.

About the Startup

Describe your product in 3 words.

Stop. Carrying. Poop.

How did you come up with the idea for this product?

We took Lola for a walk one day. Like clockwork, Lola did what dogs do(o) on a walk. No one wanted to carry around that nasty bag while we finished our walk. That lead to a discussion about what entrepreneurs do -- i.e., they solve problems. Solving the problem of carrying around that nasty bag became our mission.

What makes your product special?

First and foremost, the Wise Walker solution is simple. It does everything you would want such a product to do… without over engineering. That keeps it light weight, highly functional and easy to use.

What has been the best part of your startup experience?

Annalise: Visiting the sewing shop. Sarah: Seeing the Wise Walker evolve and get better and better each time we learned something. Bob: Working with my daughters.
