Markus (the inventor of this idea) noticed how insecure people are today in clubs with their drinks during a party in one of the clubs located in Ilmenau. Not only because you don’t want to leave your own drink unattended anymore, but also because you have an uneasy feeling as soon as you haven’t paid attention to it for a while. \u201cWhen it became clear to me how great the need for protection and the associated fears already are for me, the question quickly arose: What must it be like for young people? After that, I consciously looked around for the first time and noticed how young partygoers constantly cling to their drinks and don’t even want to put them down while dancing.\u201d (Markus Duelli) <\/span><\/p>

He took this realization to the dinner table and quickly learned that this is a reality in which his own children also found themselves. They told him how difficult it is for teenagers and young adults to move freely and safely at parties. \u201cAt that moment I knew something had to happen here and I set about developing ideas to change something.\u201d (Markus Duelli) <\/span><\/p>

The first steps were thus clear: find solutions, then research and check 3678 patents, file a patent application, seek support, and get students excited about the idea… Together we are now working to bring a product to the international market that should make a significant contribution to ensuring that knockout drops lose their terror.<\/span><\/p>

Current steps: <\/strong><\/p>

\u2192 develop a finished pilot for the first small series<\/span><\/p>

\u2192 finance the development costs with crowdfunding<\/span><\/p>

\u2192 go into production<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
