It Starts With An Idea...
Victor Hugo once stated "Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come." It is one thing to come up with the next great product however to have the courage to step out and take action requires something different. What if you did not need to go it alone? What if there were mentors with a proven track record of successfully launching hundreds of millions of dollars in consumer products, that could help guide a successful product launch?

Feature Company
Open Mind Developments Corporation (OMD) is a company with a clear purpose and mission. The company created a progressive brand called Pela www.pelacase.com whereby they are committed to creating a waste free future by developing consumer products made of environmentally sensible materials.
Their first products were smart phone cases made of compostable bio-resin's with a platform based on a direct to consumer model. The rapid growth of the company was exciting but without the right infrastructure the growth threatened their ability to scale and meet the consumer demand.
As a portfolio company, the Indykkö team has been actively engaged with the OMD leadership team, investing resources to build out a sustainable growth strategy for product development, sourcing, supply chain and retail expansion. We are committed to helping OMD achieve their goal of eliminating 1B pounds of plastic from the waste stream!
