Ep #42 - My guest this week is Tom Burden, a former Air Force F-16 weapons mechanic, that went on to create and sell Grypmat, a flexible, non-slip rubber mat he invented to hold tools. Tom raised $700,000 to build his business through Kickstarter and Shark Tank, where one of his backers included Sir Richard Branson. The Grypmat product has gone on to grace the cover of Time Magazine and led Tom to be featured in the Forbes 30 Under 30. The business has grown to doing $4 million in revenue in 2019, more than double what it brought in during 2018. Tom is now planning an expansion into retail, with a lower-priced, smaller-version of the Grypmat for home mechanics.    LEARN MORE ABOUT TOM BURDEN AND GRYPMAT: Visit the Grypmat website at: https://www.grypmat.com/ Read Tom Burden's Profile in 'Forbes' at: https://www.forbes.com/profile/tom-burden/#4f33388d286a Send Tom an email at [email protected] Follow Tom Burden on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/toburden/ Follow Tom Burden on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tom26burden/ Follow Tom Burden on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/tom26burden   Also, please remember to subscribe, rate, and leave a written review for the show if you find value in it.
