Curbicus, which offers dog owners a clean and convenient solution to dog waste, has launched its product nationwide following its participation in the Iowa Startup Accelerator.
“The Iowa Startup Accelerator really understands our mission and values,” said Anna Gannon, Curbicus founder and inventor. “Also, the ISA’s network and mentorship are extremely valuable.”
After more than three years of development and testing over fifty prototypes, Curbicus is offering a device that is both environmentally friendly and easy to use. It can be operated with just one hand, allowing an individual to clean up dog waste without physically touching it and while having a second hand free to carry a phone, bag, or other personal items.
Gannon said the idea for Curbicus came after years of watching people refuse to clean up after their dogs on city sidewalks. “I could not wrap my head around the fact that people wanted to have dogs and yet were irresponsible pet owners,” Gannon said. “I thought that if I could develop a clean and easy solution to the problem, it would make an impact.”
By using disposable capsules, Gannon notes that the device eliminates the “gross” factor of picking up dog waste. More importantly, it’s environmentally friendly.
“We are a green company that uses recyclable packaging and materials, as well as compostable capsules,” she says. “In the future, we are going to be using the compost as fertilizer in city parks.”
Pre-orders are currently available at Curbicus’ website for $99.
