Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner by Couragent Started due to a Layoff

The Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner Inventor and Founder Gordon Nutall interviewed by Money Magazine and taken from the Money.CNN Website.

(MONEY Magazine) -- After 31 years with Hewlett-Packard, Gordon Nuttall was just one year shy of earning full retirement benefits when he was laid off in October 2008. "It was a bit of a surprise," says Nuttall, who'd worked as a software program manager. "And management wasn't willing to make an exception for me."
Not ready to retreat from the workforce anyway, Nuttall began searching for a position like the one he'd had. What he found was a saturated job market.
"Because I was networking so much, I could see there was a wealth of talent available -- people who were downsized or had decided against retirement because their 401(k) had shrunk to a 201(k)," he says.

After discovering kinship with a group of five other tech castoffs, however, he became convinced that together they could form a blockbuster startup team.
Nuttall, who'd been part of a group that launched several lines of business within HP (HPQ, Fortune 500), began tossing around product ideas.
The six settled on one they found particularly promising: a portable, battery-operated scanner that could store images on a flash memory card.
The technology for such a device already existed. So did the audience, they figured: Scrapbooking hobbyists -- a universe of at least 17 million -- would be likely to want such a scanner, since it would allow them to digitize photos and heirlooms when away from a home computer.
Nuttall and one of his partners worked up a business plan. Another member of the team, an expert in supply chains, arranged for them to visit manufacturers in Asia.
In January 2010, Couragent -- a name reflecting the founders' shared spunk --officially launched. By October, they introduced the Flip-Pal scanner, at a retail price of $150.
At first, Flip-Pal was sold only over its own website, but after Nuttall sent a sample to Amazon.com, the online giant agreed to carry it.
In November a segment on the Home Shopping Network resulted in sales of about 700 devices. "The network's fulfillment partner ran out of product!" says Nuttall, who is CEO. Fortunately, Couragent's staff -- one other full-timer and 24 independent contractors -- had prepared for the possibility, making sure the company had extra inventory ready to go.
This year Nuttall expects revenue to hit $2.5 million. He'll take home about $16,000, a fraction of his previous $170,000 salary. But in five years, he envisions matching his prior pay, while running a $16 million company with five products. (Couragent just announced a commercial version of Flip-Pal designed to scan full-page documents.)
"We're doing interesting work in a creative environment," says Nuttall, who owns 26% of the company. "This is exactly what I was looking for.

The Couragent Company is doing will and they Flip-Pal is their flagship product with its Creative Suite but they are improving and innovating constantly and will have 5 products on the market eventually.  This is a great mobile scanner.  Buy one Here today and you will not be disappointed.

3.  It is so small! How can it possibly scan anything but very small pictures or very small documents?  (BUY NOW $149.00)

This mini scanner is a power house thanks to the very creative and effective software that has revolutionary "stitching technology".  This technology allows you to use partial scans of a document or photo that can be "stitched" together to reveal one seamless, clear and accurate single document. 

4.  Shouldn't they have called it the Flip Pal mini scanner?
                     

 No! It should not have been called the Flip Pal mini scanner because although it is small it is huge in stature and effectiveness. There is nothing mini scanner about this heavy weight. 

5.  The patented Flip and Scan technology sounds cool but what is it?

This is the latest technology from the Couragent Company, formerly Rocky Mountain Ventures LLC.  The bottom of the scanner has a cover that can be flipped off to reveal a see through bottom.  There for this allows you to see exactly what you are scanner as you set the Flip Pal on the document.  The bonus feature is that you can also scan pictures on the wall this way that are still in the frame or photos that are stuck in your scrape book.  No more worries about disturbing old family photos or pealing pictures out of a dusty old scrap book. 

The Flip Pal makes it simple to keep your cherished family memories with no worries.  You can capture them digitally to be passed on from generation to generation. 

Recently, the Creative Suite Software was unveiled and has quickly become a major hit with the arts and crafts community.  The Flip Pal is so easy to use and transport that is has unlimited uses.

The Amazing Scanner The Flip Pal

flip pal reviews

from demo beat

The company sees the Flip-Pal as something photo hobbyists and scrapbookers would appreciate. It can scan photos up to 4 by 6 inches at a resolution of 600 dots per inch. Users can scan photos as they would on a normal flatbed, but they also have the option to remove the lid and bring the scanner to photos — something that’s particularly useful for fragile and older photos. The company calls this technique “flip-and-scan.”

The Capture-ID is larger than the Flip-Pal, and more suited to document scanning. About the size of a netbook, it can scan images up to 5.5 by 7.5 inches, save them in PDF and JPEG formats. A larger version of the device, dubbed the Capture-Page, offers a 8.5-by-11.4-inch scanning area for letter-sized pages. Both devices are capable of scanning close to the binding of a book, a feature dubbed “scan-into-binding” by the company.

All of Rocky Mountain Venture’s products use SD memory cards. They’re also compatible with Eye-Fi SD cards, which add GPS information to photos and allow users to wirelessly sync files to their computers.

Rocky Mountain Ventures is competing with current scanning heavyweights like HP, Epson, and Brother — but its scanners remain unique as mobile solutions. Its innovation have landed two patents, with three more pending.

The Rocky Mountain, Colorado company was founded by entrepreneur Gordon Nuttall in 2009. It has raised $225,000 from Colorado residents.
