buckskin says it's offering the world's first ai powered parent
assist spark stroller. The company says it allows parents
to explore the world with their baby comfortably safely and
stress free. It also includes electric motors and sensors
that help it up steep roads and sidewalks and watch
for obstacles and alert whoever is pushing. It also
has a feature that lets it drive itself. So
joining me now are the co founders and hunger and
kevin, Wong Kevin also serves as a Ceo and
is the C. T. O. And it's
my understanding that you two are a married couple as
well. I think that's a yes. So it's
great. It's great to have you on the show
. Um, wasn't your own life experience that caused
you to come up with this product? Yes,
it definitely was. Well, first of all,
thanks for having us kristen. So yeah, kevin
and I, we are married and we started coming
up with this product based on our own experience when
I was pregnant with our daughter in 2019. This
was the first time we kind of entered the stroller
market as a consumer and we thought we could definitely
put something better that's more supportive than anything that's out
there at the moment, kevin, I want you
to walk me through how this technology works and with
your daughter that both of you share, you must
feel really comfortable that the technology is safe. Yeah
, definitely. We're taking a lot of the more
common as well as mature technologies that were pretty,
that are that we take for granted on a daily
basis that are in cars and bringing it to the
stroller platform. So something like something basic like automatic
braking. Um, so that when you're on a
hill, the stroller doesn't run away. Is something
that has been really helpful for parents as well as
giving that drive driver assist system like almost like an
e bike that it really helps parents to go navigate
up and down hills without worry as well as effortlessly
has been tremendous in terms of bringing more joy to
parents lives. And we do use our prototype at
this point on the weekends when we go out and
explore with our daughter. Okay, so I think
that prototype and and kevin is right behind you.
So, and if you can yeah, share share
more with us about the stroller that we see in
the background. Um, Yeah, well you already
gave a perfect introduction about the features that we're including
. So we designed this roller for real life um
, kind of beyond all the safety standards that are
currently applied to shoulders and as you said, like
we offer push and brake assist so we really want
to relieve all that stress and hassle from parents.
Make the support here Actually supportive and allow parents to
save their physical and mental energy for their interactions with
their kids rather than spending it on the stroller.
How will the software upgrades work, kevin, is
that just going to be an over the air upgrade
that will update the stroller and for what age groups
is the stroller? At least the prototype meant for
now. Yeah, so it does over the air
updates just like it's essentially like a mini Tesla um
and it goes for a bassinet and seat it goes
up toÂŁ50. So between around 3 to 4
years old of age um depending on the size of
the child. Yeah, the back let that you
see behind us here is for a newborn. Usually
parents use it up to four months and then I
would switch to the feet that we also would supply
with the purchase of the stroller and that as Kevin
said can be used into the child kind of outgrows
that it's like 34 years of age. Uh huh
. So and talk to me more about the price
point here. I know obviously you have to switch
out the bassinets for different periods of the child's life
depending on their age and weight. How much will
this cost consumers and how do they get their hands
on one of these? So we're targeting a price
point of$3600 at this point in time. We
do allow parents to do place their pre orders on
our website right now and we will be launching this
product at c as in las Vegas in january.
The gold river like into the hands of parents early
Q two of next year. And kevin just quickly
, how are you planning to acquire customers? What's
the marketing strategy? So currently right now it's mostly
based on word of mouth and as well as like
social media. Um Thus far we've already have quite
a few pre orders already for our production unit.
But what you see here is the prototype but the
production unit will be quite a bit smaller as well
as lighter and built with production processes. So it's
very safe and certified and ready for a real day
everyday use. Oh my gosh! Well please come
back on the show. This is so cool what
you're doing. We appreciate you taking the time this
afternoon. That's Kevin, Wong founder and Ceo of
Buckskin and and Hunger. The company's co founder as
well and the chief product officer. So thank you --> .
