One night. 7500 Wrapsters. 35 staffers (and friends). Open bar. Go. For more pics, check out our Facebook page.
A ginormous THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by our lil’ shindig last night. We stayed past 2am wrapping thousands upon thousands of Wrapsters, and as a result, we’ll be able to fulfill our March orders without the additional packaging expense. A fun video (and better photos) of the festivities is on the way, but we didn’t want to delay telling you that you seriously, seriously rock. Like, big-time. Love, The Quirky Team
Hey guys and gals! My name is Andy Garcia (not the actor). I’m the newest addition to Quirky, and I’m pumped as heck about it. I proudly hail from northern New Jersey — but I don’t sport a fake tan, have abnormally large muscles, or own an Ed Hardy t-shirt. I’m a pretty normal dude actually. I’m a lover of independent music of all genres, I play electric guitar, I’m a hobby photographer, and I’m a deep thinker. Last important tidbit: I’m a 2009 alum of The College of New Jersey and I miss it so much — Go Lions! So, I’ve been brought on to the Quirky team as a Community Ambassador, and I’m excited to interact with the community and be a witness to the awesomeness that Read More...
Eval recaps sum up the research and discussion that go into selecting winning submissions at Quirky. The info in recaps focuses on general landscape, opportunities and concerns, with a strong bias for Quirky’s business interests. We will not tell people what to do with their ideas if we do not choose it, but this info should give general guidance to submitters and other inventors who want to understand our decision-making process. EVAL 116: Inventor: Marc Rumaner Selected: Dog Bowl Community: 23 D: 4 M: 3 V: 8 Staff: 14 Total: 52 Design felt that this solution could potentially get in the dog’s way. However, exploring “doggy meal time” could be a worthwhile endeavor, as there are many diffic Read More...
If you’re anything like us, you spent all winter curled up on the couch with popcorn and Mad Men DVDs. But now summer’s around the corner, and it’s time to get up and get active. There’s no better time to embrace a healthy lifestyle, and we’ve got the perfect brief to set things in motion. Let’s design products that promote health and fitness. We’re looking for product ideas that will help people live healthier, happier, more active lifestyles. Working out, playing sports, practicing yoga, indoor cycling on retro machines upon grass mats – it’s all fair game. Submissions are free, and deadline is April 4th. Get moving!
The winners for Quirky’s first ever Threeval — that is, the first meeting where we evaluated three rounds — are in. A big congrats to our winning ideas and ideators! Product 113: Jin Chai’s iDucklings Product 114: Gyro’s Smart Corners Product 115: Jason Hennessy’s Sakura Vase Just a heads up: Gaz is out of town and Ben’s, well, exhausted, so we’re going to push back this week’s Eval Recap video to next week. Peace out, enjoy your weekends, and don’t forget to RSVP for our Wrapster wrapping party if you’re in the area!
Next Tuesday night, we’re having a RAGING KEGGER!!! Just kidding… though there will be adult beverages present… and maybe Hello Kitty party hats. Next Tuesday, the whole Quirky team will be throwing down to package, wrap, and ship off thousands of Wrapsters. If you’re in the New York area, we’d love your help! Shoot us an RSVP at partay@quirky.com. We’ll let you know Monday if you’re in, and what time to stop by. Love, The Quirky Team
Hey y’all! My name’s Brandon, and I’ve been with the Quirky team for about a month now. I’m from Charleston, South Carolina (voted the No.1 most attractive population in the U.S.). Known most for its roots in history, beautiful architecture, and laid back lifestyle, Charleston is a pretty peachy place to grow up. I just moved to New York, have almost hit my three month mark, and am already enamored. Just as a wand chooses its wizard (shout out to Harry Potter) Quirky chose its Brandon. I am here to keep the company’s schedule smooth(er) sailing. It’s been a pleasure working with such a creative team, and I am certainly looking forward to the evolution of Quirky and all those involved! That said, here are a few fu Read More...

Quirky HR is at it again. This time, we’re seeking someone to head up our direct sales efforts. Sound like it’s up your alley? Read the description and shout out if so. HEAD OF E-COMMERCE/GENERAL MANAGER, DIRECT SALES Our web-store isn’t named after a rainforest, or a fruit. It’s named after a process. An unconventional process: one that introduces two brand new inventions into the world every week. Inventions that came from regular people. Products that are “invented together”. You see, the name of our company is Quirky. Our process is just that… not the way the world has come to expect new products to be developed. Our products, however, aren’t quirky. They&# Read More...
