Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Combined features of schedule control, customizable portioning, and a soaking function for reptiles, all accessible via an intuitive app and physical screen—offering a comprehensive, tailor-made feeding solution unlike standard feeders.
Launch Strategy:
- Develop a minimal viable product (MVP) with core features.
- Test with a select group of pet owners to gather feedback.
