I just graduated from NYU CAS in Econ and I’m hoping to start a
company based on a developing idea surrounding a Ski Jacket that is
capable of melting snow in order to save people from avalanche
burials. The idea has been pitched many times to industry
professionals, and it has the potential to become a substantial
product and company. The idea for the Jacket essentially stems around
building an outerlayer consisting of conductible threading that will
allow for substantial heating when necessary. This will melt enough
snow surrounding skiers that have been trapped under an avalanche,
allowing them to move and free themselves from the snow. It will in
theory save a lot of lives.

Job/Internship Title:
Prototype Sewer/Designer
Job/Internship Description:
I need an expert Sewer and Designer that knows how to work with
conductible thread to design a prototype jacket. This jacket will hold
an outerlayer made up of conductible threading that will heat up to
high degrees. The threading will be hooked up to a power source, most
likely just a simple battery, that will also be integrated within the
jacket.
Hopefully you will share my passion for helping others and attempting
to solve a global problem of continued avalanche related fatalities.
If we are capable of designing a good prototype, I believe that I
could get us funded and move along with further product development.
You would be offered a substantial share of the company of course,
since product development is a key ingredient towards the growth of
the company. It is very informal for now, just hoping to get in touch
with someone that is very talented in sewing that might be able to
help and we can see where it goes from there.
