Lee Kojanis is an oral surgeon. Daniele Orellana is a pediatric dentist. When they aren't seeing patients, they're bootstrapping a business around a product they couldn't find anywhere else: an ergonomic sponge that doesn't shatter wine glasses.

With no experience in creating consumer goods, Kojanis and Orellana used ChatGPT to help them create a product that is now on track to earn $75,000 this year. Join us in an exclusive Entrepreneur+ workshop where the doctors will share the exact prompts they used to turn their idea into a successful side hustle.

More about the speakers

MITTS was founded by husband and wife team Lee Kojanis and Daniele Orellana, to solve a huge problem - the breaking of expensive wine glasses! While Kojanis, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, was taking his WSET Level 3 course, the glassware he had invested his money in - and helped him taste his best - was literally going down the drain as broken pieces of glass. With the help and insistence of Orellana, months of research and testing, MITTS was born. And remnants of broken glasses have gone down significantly.
