Dome Hubs collaborators

[Handlin Piano]

I have built a website called www.domehubs.com     We've completed multiple designs that could be sold, but can't get the cost of manufacture down low enough.   Would anyone like to help or be a part of a small business?  We are just in the planning phases.  Any suggestions?

I thought it could also be a community site where everyone could offer there own different connectors in one place as well.  Open to any ideas of what to do with the website - even if it's nothing at all!

Thanks for posting this.  A few thoughts to share:

1) Consider expanding the definition and concept of a "hub".  Generally, people think of a hub as a part in which you insert or otherwise connect struts in a radial arrangement.
 So consider another concept, where the "part" is actually something that is attached to the ends of a strut, which allows struts to be connected together like the spokes of a wheel.  
 
2) There is the ol' marketing triangle with three components: The company, the customer, and the competition.  Pays to consider all three when making business decisions.  Here is one such example, that supports that thinking, as one needs to know what's already out there before "inventing the past".

3) Give some serious thought to equipment/systems that can be used with bamboo.  Although in our western world we have good access to pipe, tubing, lumber, etc., much of the world outside the USA has been working with bamboo for hundreds of years.  As a renewable source of struts and material, it has a lot of assets, but is manufactured by nature, rather than human run factories.
