Development Schedule Critical Path: 12 Months

The concept of a water bottle with a turbine-based flow meter and Bluetooth integration is a novel concept. – Previous iterations (Thermos Nissan Intak Hydration Water Bottle & Sportline Hydracoach) use less advanced integrated flow meters and lack Bluetooth integration. – Complex systems (Vessyl) lack the integrated flowmeter and are not designed as a water bottle. IP Concerns Patent review yielded no IP concerns
16
Supply, at least initially, will be contracted out to an international partner. – Reduce financial risks of the product to ensure it is a success before scaling up to a potential fully-owned supply system. – Reduced labor and equipment costs in the short term will make the initial breakeven point more attainable. – Most materials and components will originate from SE Asia. Assembly at the source will reduce shipping costs. Supply Strategy

Flowmeter accuracy – Mitigation: Testing and simultaneously pursue other types of flowmeters Difficulties in making it rugged and dishwasher- safe – Mitigation: Examine alternative sealing methods and advanced plastics Risks - Technical Turbine-type Flowmeter
27
Supply – Potential concerns with developing water bottle production capability Mitigation: Pursue suppliers beyond current ones. Competition – Fast followers from Nike, Garmin, etc. Mitigation: Emphasize integration with Fitbit ecosystem Risks – Supply and Competitive
28
Legal and Environmental – Liability for dehydration/over-hydration Mitigation: Develop iron-clad legal disclaimer necessary for use; avoid overt hydration recommendations. Marketing – Largely untested market Mitigation: Marketing through Fitbit’s current devices, focus on user feedback during development process Legal and Marketing Risks
29
Conclusion o Requested Resources $650,000 in capital Management approval o Risks Untapped market with unknown potential Fitness tech companies could be fast to follow o Rewards $17M NPV after five years of sales Increased brand awareness
