When I speak with friends, family, people I meet, the first question we get is, “how did you think of this and how long did it take?”
We are an open company, so let’s take you on our journey!
- June 2023: Took my first exhilarating cold plunge—felt like a superhero!
- July 2023: DIY adventure: bought a cheap tub, spent $100 on ice over a week, and plunged like a pro. But then…leaks, cost, and hassle!
- August 2023: Scoured the internet—everything is pricey or space-hogging. I’m going to use this for just a few minutes a day…I don’t want to spend that much or give up my balcony for a setup.
- September 2023: Lightbulb moment at home: nobody uses this bath tub we have…what if…
- October 2023: Found a product! Bought the product! Tested the product.
- This electrical pump is going in the tub…with me? I didn’t see this on the website. Is this really safe?
- I have to plug in and set the pump up separately each time…that’s frustrating.
- I have to assemble the hoses? I thought hoses were always one simple piece…why do I need a screwdriver? And they started to leak…
- November 2023: Time to do this ourselves. Prototype v1: We integrated the pumps so all you have to do is plug the ZEROPOD in and start chilling. No electrical anything in the tub! Mission accomplished…but our (future) customers deserve more!
- January 2024: Customer chats + more plunges = v2! Leakproof and insulated hoses…with a nice cover to make it look cleaner. Wheels for easy storage. So simple!
- May 2024: Drumroll, please…meet ZEROPOD! No external electrical devices, leaky hoses, or assembly woes. Check, check, check!
- June 2024 (estimate): Farewell, factory! Off to deliver cold-plunging joy to bathtubs everywhere!
- Late June / Early July 2024 (estimate): Knock, knock! Plug me in, connect the hoses, and let the icy adventure begin!
