Business Week:

At about eight in the morning on June 16, a young man named Remi Frazier from Fort Collins, Colo., sat down on a bench in Manhattan’s Columbus Circle, glued a cell phone to his ear, and spread a New York City map across his lap. By early afternoon he had launched an unlikely entrepreneurial project to make $1 million within one month, using only a cell phone, a digital video camera, and a $100 bill. His self-imposed set of rules also meant he had made no advance contact with anyone in the city.

To achieve his goal, Frazier, 27, planned to build a volunteer network of business consultants, conceptualize and design a product, conduct market research for that product, and finally manufacture and sell it on a wide scale. He would have 30 days to complete what a startup usually takes years to do.

Remi’s product is a called the Mantool Customizable Multitool.
