Thank you, I appreciate the advice, and I think that we will definitely do this before looking further into upscaling I appreciate the answer!
refine your prototype until you're sure your target market wants to buy them. Then find a manufacturing partner once you research the supply chain and volume you're capable of producing with the funds you have. depending on where you live, seek resources/programs available to new start ups.
I found this link - it's a new website that helps entrepreneurs, digital creators and content creators with the basics on business strategy, marketing, selling and other problems that you may have. It might give you some ideas in the short term and the long term. Hope this helps.
