Wolven Industries will also, occasionally, contract consultants (e.g. military veterans) to support the development of any respective product.
We may also contract other physicists and engineers to work under the chiefs.
All Wolven products come from Mike’s imaginative ability to ideate technological solutions to societal problems. As he listens to your pain points, he envisions something he can either invent or innovate in response. He then draws the vision as a MK-1 (Mark 1) engineering draft and presents it to the rest of the team.
His initial conceptual design will evolve with the team’s constructive criticism as it’s converted into a full 3D computer rendering. Every part of that rendering will then undergo a series of real-world computer simulations to test its functional integrity. He will delegate the bulk of the testing to the team, who will continually tweak the design for him to approve or deny as it passes or fails different tests until Mike is satisfied with the results.
While waiting for different test results to come through, Mike develops the marketing strategy for the product. This is when he switches from scientist to businessman, planning all of the marketing content necessary, from blog articles, social media management, paid advertising, fundraising, and varying forms of influencer marketing and media relations necessary for launch.
Once finished with the marketing strategy and satisfied with the test result for the first product version, Mike approves the product for actual prototyping.
During the prototyping process, he assigns which element of the product is made by whom based upon their educational and experiential specialty. His role in the prototyping phase pertains to metallurgy: He makes the physical body of the device with whatever chemical combinations needed with a professional electrical forge and physics lab.
The other team members send him their respective parts, which he then assembles, quality checks, and tests in real-time. If it fails, he collects data and analyzes why, going back to the development phase with his team.
If the device passes his live test, the company begins taking pre-orders online while manufacturing begins. He then executes the marketing strategy he planned, and the product arrives at your door.
You experience the product and speak to him and the team in the online community for ideas on how to improve your product’s next version, if improvements are needed at all.
Abel, for instance, was a physics Olympian for Hungary who now works on experimental quantum mechanics projects in England.
In that respect, you can think of any MK-1 (Mark 1) design as a rough block of stone. The team then becomes a group of sculptors chiseling it down into a better form through debate. Each has a different perspective from their varying expertise and backgrounds.
Abel fills in any theoretical physics knowledge gaps. It's his responsibility to challenge Mike on the physical practicality of any initial idea.
This catalyzes the entire team to debate about the product. Debates can sometimes last for hours or even weeks.
While intellectually dueling, the company keeps some initial ideas, while dropping others. The debates yield new ideas that can come from any teammate at any time to fill in the deficits.
This produces MK-2 of the product.
Once the team agrees upon the design of MK-2, it's turned into a 3D rendering. Abel then takes responsibility for running varying computer simulations on the rendering.
He then relays that data back to Mike for final decisions on any tweaks that the product needs.
Once Mike gives the final word, the conceptual product becomes a prototype. Abel helps with building certain elements of the product. This may involving helping Javier to construct PCB boards with certain functions.
Once Abel's finished with his prototyping part, he sends it to Mike for the final, real-world test.
Andi, for instance, used to design mechanical parts for the German sports car industry.
In that respect, you can think of any MK-1 (Mark 1) design as a rough block of stone. The team then becomes a group of sculptors chiseling it down into a better form through debate. Each has a different perspective from their varying expertises and backgrounds.
Andi fills in any structural knowledge gaps. It's his responsibility to challenge Mike on the mechanical functionality of any initial idea.
This catalyzes the entire team to debate about the product. Debates can sometimes last for hours or even weeks.
While intellectually dueling, the company keeps some initial ideas, while dropping others. The debates yield new ideas that can come from any teammate at any time to fill in the deficits.
This produces MK-2 of the product.
Once the team agrees upon the design of MK-2, Andi creates the 3D rendering with tools like Fusion 360.
He then shows the rendering to Mike for final decisions on any tweaks that the product needs. Each tweak yields a more realistic rendering until Mike gives the final word on its design.
Once approved, the product moves to the prototyping stage.
During this time, Andi generates images of the product from the 3D rendering. Mike uses those images for the marketing plan.
Andi then helps with developing some mechanical elements for the prototype.
Once Andi's finished with his respective prototyping part, he sends it to Mike for the final, real-world test.
There’s a way that Wolven speaks through its blogs that most other brands do not. Many of the blog articles are written by the company content writer; however, many of the blog articles are written by the CEO, Mike Norton, himself.
You’ll be able to tell the difference by the shift between first- and third-person perspective pertaining to when the company is speaking in the content, and when Mike is speaking directly, as well as the byline of any given published article.
Articles and other content published by the brand will be signified as authored by the brand with its logo; articles and other content published directly by Mike will be signified as authored by Mike with his picture.
We at Wolven Industries are proud to produce content that’s meant to establish a very human, personal connection with our target audience. That can’t happen if each piece of content the company publishes is purely mechanical and corporate in nature.
We believe it’s entertaining and beneficial for others if the CEO blogs about products as they’re being developed, sometimes with videos of science experiments (as they succeed or fail), because it’s not really our product we’d sell; it’s the people’s product.
It’s your product.
Each invention or innovation is its own journey with its own story; so why wouldn’t people want to experience it? Why wouldn’t the people want to experience the emotional ups and downs with the team as we encounter obstacles in the development of a product, and how we work together to overcome them?
Why not watch the movie or read the book of what you order being developed, as it’s developed, before it arrives to your door?
…while you converse with us about improvements for the next model through e-mail and social media, changing the ending of the story as you interact with it?
It’s not about us; it’s about you.
“One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say.” -Bryant H. McGill”
Like the story of a rock band, the music is the output of the rock stars. The Wolven team is the band; our products are our music. Follow the story of how we jam, often through the CEO’s own eyes in his journaling for the company.
If any Wolven product arrives broken or damaged in any way, early adopters are entitled to free repair or replacement.
Early adopters may return their device for any reason. They won’t even have to pay for their own shipping.
Early adopters are the first the Wolven development team listens to when improving future models of any product.
Early adopters receive the opportunity to get massive discounts up to the first 30 days after their chosen product’s release.
