The Sitpack 2.0
The Sitpack 2.0 is about the size of a large can, and it weighs less than two pounds. This portable seat is made out of glass fiber reinforced polycarbonate. It is said to be good for both your back and proper blood flow. The design of the seat ensures a healthy, back-supported posture while the user sits. The Sitpack 2.0 is height adjustable and can support up to 220 pounds.
While in use, the seat rests on a rubber foot grip that securely supports the user. Currently, the Sitpack 2.0 is available in five different colors – pitch black, easy blue, black camo, power pink, and pearl white. Its many suggested uses include camping, traveling, waiting in line, and even attending large-scale events.
The most unique design feature of the Sitpack 2.0 is the telescopic leg that adjusts to the height and comfort. The execution of the Sitpack 2.0 is unlike anything else intended for the same use. It is also recommended, by the manufacturer, for people who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome, M.S., cancer, and other conditions.
The Sitpack ZEN
Sitpack Zen’s design is very similar to the Sitpack 2.0 – it is a functional one-legged chair that rests on an adjustable, telescopic tube. It is crafted with what the manufacturer calls the finest materials including, carbon fiber, aerospace-grade aluminum, tactical mesh, ballistic fiber, and Kevlar webbing.

Startup
A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.
Actions
Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.
Design principles
Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".
