Chris Bradley created a product for guitarists called Thalia’s Capos and is now producing wooden guitar picks. He started the capo business in 2014 with a kickstarter campaign that was trying to raise $10k and ended up raising more than $220,000 for the capos. I know because I was helping him with his Facebook ads at the time. Five years later, he’s on track to do $5 million in sales of just the capos and the wooden guitar picks! Go figure!
