Whether it’s a vacation, business trip or family visit, people usually have their minds on the destination instead of how they get there. The problem is that we all face some rough realities whether traveling by plane, train or automobile.

This week, let’s come together to make a product that streamlines the travel process.

Remember, there are lots of different ways to travel. Here are some things to think about as you brainstorm.

  • Security: Whether you’re flying or riding a bus, what do you have to go through before you can get on board?
  • Purpose: What does a business traveler need vs. a vacationer?
  • Convenience: What is a comfort of home that might be hard to take on the go?
  • We’re open to it all, as long as it could realistically sell for less than $150 and doesn’t need integrated software. And remember, DMV (design potential, marketability and viability) factors heavily into our decision.

    You can submit one idea for free in this round, and the deadline is Mon, May 30, at 12 noon ET. Got an idea that’ll get us flyin’ high? Submit now!
