Contestant's Case to Win

The CADDi lets people carry beverages with a single finger, letting them pull luggage, open doors, text, and simply put their arm down. It's a simple, but truly handy accessory.

I woke up with the concept and wondered if it was really dumb or really smart. I'm finding out people think it's smart - it was named "the most innovative concept in sleeves in years" by Specialty Coffee Retailer Magazine this summer.

The CADDi is reusable, so SAVES WASTE OF DISPOSABLE sleeves.

I'm applying for this competition because I've been self-employed my whole career. I have to be a Jill of all trades and am always functioning with no budget, but tons of hard work. I would love to see this product take off for the sheer pleasure of it. I believe in it.

Thank you for this opportunity!
