"My highest praise goes to Productified, led by Alex Triener (CEO) and Sid Jubran (COO). For six years, I was trying to figure out how to get a working prototype of my invention and how to start my own business. In less than 6 months, I have more than I expected. I have a working prototype of the invention and I am actually selling my product! I never dreamed it would be this quick and easy to take my idea to market, but Alex and Sid understood exactly how to make it happen!"

As a new inventor with no experience, I was completely at a loss for where to start. The more I learned about trying to take a product from concept to reality, the more daunting it all began to seem. Productified has been a guiding light through the fog of information, offering insights and feedback that I couldn't get anywhere else. It's hard to find a resource that doesn't have some agenda to serve, but Productified's only reason for existence is truly to help people like me find the path to success. The Guide they offer on their website is also a hugely valuable tool that I can return to over and over whenever I have questions. I don't know where I would be without the guidance I've received from Alex and Sid, but I know I would not be preparing to take a product to market without flushing tens of thousands of dollars away because I didn't know what I was doing!

I knew Sid and Alex, the founders of Productified, prior to them coming up with the idea and getting this business, so I’ve known the guys for a while. Great, great people! But, boy, what a great platform, what a great idea they have here to help you, the inventor and the entrepreneur, that needs the help!

“I just wanted to say thank you to Alex Triener and Sid Jubran, who both have been so integral in helping us to launch the REC Innovation Lab. In our first 6 months, we’ve been able to help 27 startups turn their ideas into products, services, and into high-growth startup companies, in large part due to Productified, due to Alex and Sid, and the work that they’ve done with student founders. They’re passionate about giving entrepreneurs the tools, and the expertise, and the help that they need to really turn those ideas into real companies. ”

"Alex Triener volunteers as a Mentor at the Regional Entrepreneurship Center at the Miramar College in San Diego. Alex advises teams of student entrepreneurs and also does online workshops on various entrepreneurial topics. Alex is a true expert on everything you need to know to develop your idea into a product, with depth and breadth of experience and knowledge."

"Alex, out of 43 mentors and advisors at the REC, was chosen by the founders as the mentor of the year: the most trusted and valued mentor. I think that says a lot about the care that he gives to the founders. He’s right to the point. He helps them with what they need. That’s such a rare thing to have someone who can help you move along that path confidently. You know that you’re in the right direction, that you’re in good hands, and that he’s going to help you get to where you need to be.”

Alex Triener has been active as a guest speaker and mentor for our entrepreneurial teams in Rady's Lab to Market Workshop capstone. His ready willingness to share his entrepreneurial experience is very much appreciated. I recall when some of our teams needed prototyping and manufacturing advice, he went out of his way to accommodate our schedule and prepared a full presentation with great advice on short notice. It's clear that Alex doesn't do things halfway. He's provided helpful insights on topics ranging from customer discovery and prototyping to finding the right partners. More recently, one of our MBA teams worked with him on his third venture, and Alex always has challenging questions and yet at the same time is encouraging and supportive. Thanks Alex!
