Review: He auctioned the concept/brand on eBay! It sold for $3,751 (no residuals). Personally, I didn't like the name and logo. As a former "roadie" and stage manager who worked on corporate shows, I also owned my own Leatherman, and happen to be female. I like the idea of being able to custom design it, though, and can think of a few things that weren't offered that would appeal to women/mothers (like baby nail clippers, etc). It could be tossed into their purse, giving a woman the confidence that she would be prepared for anything (remember the show "Let's Make a Deal"?). Hey wait a minute, maybe I'm on to something here. Anybody want to volunteer to join my team? I'm calling it, The 90-Day, $90,000 Dream. No film documentaries or reality shows, please. I'm in it for the business.

Review: Sounds like a bait-and-switch article. Typical American business these days.

Review: I think he might raise 1 million dollars from investors but he will not make 1 million within a month unless someone buys his idea from him. He won't make it by sales, that's for sure.

Review: So, this is not about getting a million dollars, this is about getting a million-dollar business, and these are two different propositions. Think like this, what he needs to do is create enough value in buzz and name recognition that somebody will pay a million dollars to have that all rolled up and they can produce/sell the product or enough people to license the name/concept. Etc. Besides, he could always trade the company for a red paperclip...

Review: His assets are over a million if you value his branding and press coverage. He showed all of us that it is still feasible to make it in days of Enron, MCI and Adelphia. From my point of view, Remi made it.

Review: He's not going to make it. But that's not the point. Remi wants to capture the attention of people, and the mere fact that I have heard of him and I and others have added comments here about him show that he has succeeded in that. The $1 mil figure was a nice round one, but unless he is planning on winning the lottery before the 16th of July, the chances of him reaching that monetary goal are close to nil. He might get the money, but he definitely has got a hell of a lot of chutzpah -- and this New Yorker, for one, appreciates that! Hey, if a guy can trade up from a paper clip to a house in a year, why not Remi? Good luck on your next venture, dude!

Review: Hey, great idea. He didn't say he'd end up with a million dollars in his pocket to run off with. He's offering to get many others excited about possibilities. Most great ideas are not hatched out of the structure of business, but of attempting to make an end run around the barriers of conventionalism and bureaucracy---he probably will fall somewhat short of his stated goal but you can't whack a homerun without swinging for the fences.......good for him.

Review: Hi, Remi. Your project makes you a leader rather than an entrpreneur. Business is business. Free food is not business.
